A word to describe Guario is compassionate because he understood that she wanted to do something so badly, which was to write. He understood well because he wanted to have a future that was better than the one he currently has. The author included this information because nobody would've understood how he had felt, unless they had the same experience as Guario. The author had also had have not put this information it wouldn't be as emotional. I can say this because in the text it states, "After a while, he said, "I know how it feels." "How what feels like?" I asked. "To want something so bad." "What have you wanted so badly?" I asked, looking up at him. "A future," he answered. And then I saw the tears in his eyes for real."  He had felt compassionate at first, and then sad. If Ana Rosa had never admitted this scene would be different because Ana Rosa needed to admit to make Guario feel that way.

A word to describe Guario  is understandable because in the book he told Ana Rosa that he understood  the feeling of wanting something so bad,  he was able to relate to Ana Rosa in that moment because he has always wanted a better future.

The author includes this information to let us know what type of brother Guario is and to be able to understand him, that he too has wanted something like Ana Rosa.

A word to describe the character is offensive because when Anna Rosa told her mom what  her dad told Anna to her mom she laughed it off but Anna knew that it was just her mom faking .

One new thing i learned about  Anna Rosa's dad is that he likes to talk in a puzzle or in a way people don't understand i know this because in the passage it states "papi might sound as if he is talking in a puzzle ,but i always know exactly what he means".

I think the author included this information about this character because it might foreshadow events in the book because as we know Anna's dad is an alcoholic and has a problem  with it and might not think things through because he us under the influence so he might say something offensive to Anna .

If we didn't know this information about the character , the book would be different because we would not know anything about how this character acts and would not have a sense of what this character is like because we did not know the personality of this character .
