I just feel like the whole book is sad, and I agree with most of the comments

# data[].attributes.body
agreed so much

# data[].attributes.body
Well I didn't see the cover so how can I judge the book?

# data[].attributes.body
This book does not interest me much even though  the title of the book is cool the book itself not much (my opinion). I guess the saying don’t judge a book by its cover has a little truth in it. -Armando Hernandez (Nico Nico Nii~~!)

I don't think so, like is it really that important that they can speak good Spanish? wouldn't it be more important to know why they are immigrating to the Caribbean towns or whether or not they are just passing through to get some place else. Maybe I'll have to read more into it but Idk maybe they are significant, maybe they are not.. - Valeria

Whoever wrote about memory (add your name) and I agree... that is a huge part of this book.... what really happened and who do we trust? (Ms. Perez)

# data[].attributes.body
yesss i agree i think thats why i love it so much doesnt law & order do the same thing? (Det. Benson is the best) (destiny)

# data[].attributes.body
I think one of the themes that this book has is memory, because there were some witnesses that say one thing but others say something completely different. At least thats my thought. - evelin

loll i havent even gotten that far, im still on chapter 3 (destiny)

Why is their Daughters virginity so important to them like that's private information to and for everyone, I will never understand why its such an obsession even in real life. If a woman isn't a virgin she gets sh*t on but if a man isn't he gets praised for it like MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! - Valeria

I guess no one's gonna talk about the Arab immigrants -Armando Hernandez

@Angela
I find it so wrong how back then it was normal to get married simply to get something out of it. It was sad how Angela was told she could learn to love.

# data[].attributes.body
Is anyone not going to talk about the Arab immigrants coming into the Caribbean towns? Or the fact that they speak good spanish? -Kevin

Criminal minds is so interesting to me.... I love how they take things that have actually happened and make it into a larger case.... makes it feel real. And, I don't remember that episode. (Ms. Perez)

# data[].attributes.body
Agreed Lali, Its just said to think that men have opinions of what a women should/ shouldnt do with her own body. Like you do have to take the time period that the book is set in into consideration but also, Angela never wanted to marry Baynard. She made that very clear from the start. But noooo her family had to force her bc of money. It is sickening.

its difficult to go against family morals but its also wrong to see a daughter only by her virginity then as a person this is where she has to rebel and stand up for herself -Heidi

# data[].attributes.body
this reminds me of that one criminal minds episode where the girl claimed to be raped by a random classmate but really she was sneaking out with her bf or smth and then the girl's brother and his friends took the innocent classmate and cut off his thingy
-lali

# data[].attributes.body
I agree but I also feel it is hard for the characters seeing as if we were in their place, it would be difficult to go against your family's morals and viewpoints seeing as that's what we would have grown up around :( she's put in a really sad and unfortunate situation where she probably feels trapped
-lali

I don't think that would make me hate a book... it tells you about this time period and place and how people acted and thought.... we don't have to think that way, but reading about it gives a glimpse into who these people were.... agreed? A little? A little introspection? - Ms. Perez

# data[].attributes.body
TW: (Possibly an unpopular opinion) I hate the book- only becaue of the gender roles, sexism, and the embodient of ignorance of almost ALL of the men character. WHO CARES IF ANGELA IS A VIRGIN OR NOT ITS HER BODY PEOPLE

He reminds me of my grandpa lol-kailey

# data[].attributes.body
those people are crazy I think personally -kailey

# data[].attributes.body
do yall think that the twins regret killing santiago? -eric

# data[].attributes.body
I felt like they tried to justify what they did just because it was for family-kailey

I would explain the type of violence as a bit of machismo (manliness) and boastful pride... I feel like the Vicario brothers took a little too much stock in what others would think of their family and how their sister disgraced them. The idea of revenge is definitely real here. - Ms. Perez

# data[].attributes.body
How would you explain the type of violence that is shown and told in the book? (David)

# data[].attributes.body
I felt like the theme was about revenge

# data[].attributes.body
I like the donkey from Shrek, too! (Ms. Perez)
