“Nana sliced the plumpest, largest tomato. “All stories are told in due time. Just like these needed time to grow on the vine until they were ripe.” The juice slid down the back of her thumb. “An unripe story is like an unripe tomato—no good at all.”

"Just like these needed time to grow on the vine until they were ripe.An unripe story is like an unripe tomato—no good at all.” (pg 54). Cervantes uses the imagery of Nana cutting into a ripe tomato to convey to the reader the importance of waiting for the right time to tell a story. This is important to the story because Izzy is eager to learn her fathers story but her Nana does not believe it is the right time to tell her, she needs to wait.

"I had spent ten minutes looking for Frida the dog, only to find out that Frida was a cat - a hazy gray cat with a dark patch of fur across the top of her eyes like she had one long eyebrow". This quote is Izzy trying to find their pet, Frida. Izzy thought that Frida was a dog but once she found the cat she realized that it was a cat instead. 😼😽🙀😸

¨With one deep breath, I stuffed half the empanada in my mouth and let the warm apple filling ooze across my tongue.¨(page 69). Cervantes uses the imagery of apple filling oozing across her tongue to show how good and delicious.

Analysis:
''She handed me a fresh wedge and I popped it into my mouth. It's tangy juices spread across my tongue and down my throat. It didn't taste anything like the ones Mom bought at the grocery store'' (pg. 63) The author uses words to describe the tangy and interesting taste of tomatoes that are different than the one she's actually used to. This is vital because it displays yet another example of the things Izzy is getting used to in this new place, even if it's something as small as a tomato.

I believe that Cervantes put this line in to show how much Izzy misses her mother. The quote states that Izzy wrote a letter so that she can feel like she is talking to her mom and how much she misses her. She even wrote incidences and stories about her  mom's life so far in Mexico, while also asking about her life.
