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. ]]> 2022-10-20 19:02:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2349604395 jennifermacias1 https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2349604832 Page 54]]> 2022-10-20 19:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2349604832 jennifermacias1 https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2349608410 👵🍅📚]]> 2022-10-20 19:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2349608410 https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2351282591
"I guess I'm just not used to them" ( page 61 )
This quote shows that Izzy is not used to the Calabasitas that her nana made her.

Analysis
This shows she was trying to hit the pinata but, in an attempt  to rest she hit the pinata so hard the piñata burst.

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. 😼😽🙀😸]]> 2022-10-21 22:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2351285414 https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2351285762 ¨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.

''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.

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.

This shows that she heard a voice in the wind and there must be a logical reason why she heard someone’s voice in the wind calling for her. 🌬🍃🤔]]> 2022-10-21 22:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2351286039 https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2351286213 2022-10-21 22:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2351286213 https://padlet.com/jennifermacias1/nhzsoaum2tplw6ne/wish/2351287197 "Do you name all the rooms in your house?"

I think in this quote Izzy is trying to break the pinata but she is struggling.
