After moving to long island into a neighborhood for the girls to have a yard to play in, Carla noticed many differences. "The little green squares around each look alike houses seemed more like carpeting that had to be kept clean than yards to play in" (Alvarez 151). This shows that American yards seemed fake and just used for displayed while back home them seemed real and lively.

When the police officer went to Carla and Mami's house because of what Carla experienced, Mami and Carla had to talk to the officer about what happened and they feared the American Officers just like the SIM in Dominican Republic, which shows a symbolism of power and control.

But they also said that they were more afraid of the american police then the SIM back in Dominican which should tell you something

In this chapter there were multiple examples of color imagery. For example there was the pervert in the green car who was wearing a red shirt. I thought it was very interesting the contrast between the two colors, most commonly in stop lights.

Yards-

The family moves from the city to Long Island so the girls can have a yard. The quality of the yard was shown as "the little green squares around each look-alike house seemed more like carpeting that had to be kept clean". This shows how the family is starting to adjust and assimilate to life in the United States. These yards are lush and nice compared to what they are used to.

1. Carla was surprised to see the private no trespassing sign because she has only seen/heard it in the prayer.

2. “The sign surprised Carla since ‘forgive us our trespasses’ was the only other context in which she had heard the word” (Alvarez 151).

3. It shows that Carla is still learning how English works and there is still much for her to see and learn.

Carla was assaulted by a man while walking down a street and Mami had to call the cops but through out the talk with the police they were more rude and impatient. " "Can't she talk?" The gruff cop snapped. After trying to explain more Carla was so consumed in her own thoughts about how the classmates would see or treat her knowing about the situation at hand.
