The Garcia Girls Essay

After spending a long period of time to finish this book, the Garcia girls, I am so glad because this book is really hard for me to read. One of the reasons why  is that there are a lot of Spanish words in this book which I do not really understand. The second reason is that this book's order is from present to past. It is unique and this is my first time to read this kind of book.

Anyway, the thing is: I finally finished this book! The author of this book a lot of many figurative language and critical thinking which makes this book more perfect in the way Mr. Sutherland said so. I think the the author's purpose is to record down anything that happened to the Garcia girls during their childhood and adult hood. It is fantastic and awesome. And also she wrote very deep in the way that those girls’ English is getting better and just began to forget their first language.

I have same experience as the middle part of the book—the part the four girls are immigrant to the America, and know very little English. For me, I was immigranted to America three years age, and at the first year, I could not even understand what the people around me were saying. Those feelings really scared me, but also forced me to learn more English. I am glad that someone has the same feeling I had before, and that makes me begin to love this book.

There are three parts of this book, in my opinion, the worst part is the third part, then the second, and the first. I don’t know why, maybe just because I know what is going to happen, and bring this kind of answers to read the next part of the book. I think the third part is worse because it is confusing, and boring. It does not really express many things to me. The second part is at the middle, because it records many things happen in the college: sex, betray, and discrimination. These leads me feel more interested about my college life next year—these can also be tips for me. I think the first part is the best, not just a lot of important things happen—but my favorite part is the part was when the four girls were coming back to their dad’s birthday. That is really a family—for their dad’s seventy year-old party, the whole family have a very wonderful time which they lost it for a long period—The happy moments in their childhood with their dad, but anything changes in their college period and their relationship gets worse. Such like the structure of “Family”—“Father And Mother I Love You”--Take every first letter out, and combi This part of the book teaches me a lot that how important a family is, and right now I should just say “thanks” to my parents.

I really hope the next book I am going to read, “Worriers don’t cry” could be a meaningful book just like this one. Although the book “Garcia Girls” is confusing, but I actually like its story and how it expresses things so deeply. The most important thing I have learned is the family part-- Getting peaces and happiness aren't easy between the family, but that is also why we need to built up our relationships into our family.
