How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents: Book Blog Post 1

I just read the first part of  How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, and it was great. The first part of the book mostly talked about the adventures of the four girls, they are: Yolanda, Carla, Sandra, and Sofia. Even though there are many adventures that these four girls had in the first part of the book, there are also weakness in the book. The weakness is that i have noticed that the book it is a Vignette, I personally do not like vignette books because sometimes it does not work with the stories inside the book. Because on the last book that i read had Vignettes and it worked because there was a main idea that mostly talked about it. Not like the book How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents just explained about the adventures in the past years and i have not seen any connection with the girls but they are all related.

Since the book is full of vignettes and not a connective story then it has been confusing. The book is okay, but i just did not see the main idea of it. Even though it is a book of vignettes it should have a certain topic that connects all the ideas together. Because i like a book that has an idea by just reading at least the first part, but in this book reading the first part did not give me any connection that could the entire book me about. The only idea that i know is that it is about four girls that are related to one another and the book is structured like a time line but the time goes backwards not forward. I do not see the main point yet about this book.

The book has been fine, and i think the book connects with the audience that had the same experience as the four girls had in the vignettes. For example the vignette that talked about the four girls being treated like they are still children when ever they visited their father. Probably there are women that are married ,out there that they are still being treated like children when ever they visit there parents place. My point is that this book can relate to readers that has the same experience like Yolanda, Carla, Sandra, and Sofia had.
