The Cover

When i examine this fine book that we are assigned for language arts class I cant help but to do what they told me not to do since ive ever started reading. They told me to never judge a book by its cover but with this intruiging book covered in yell0w i cant help but to actually be intrested. With out even taking a look at the back of the book i assume that due to the mature legs on the front cover this book will be sensual in one way or another. Covered in chetah fur and legs crossed as if the charecter on the front page of the book was a gypsy of some sort or promiscuos in one way or another due to her heels, maybe even a prostitute. As i ponder these thoughts i cant help but notice the bird on the the tree branch and this gives me hope. theres always a sign of innocence when you see a cute little bird on a tree branch, well atleast for me. When i see garcia i automaticly think of mexico or latin american theme or family of some sort. What if these girls are a band of rebels that go by the garcia girls, or what if these girls are illegal immigrants the authours name Julia Alevarez she must be influenced by mexican or latin culture i am positively sure of that as the reader and due to this i can be in a w0rld full of mexican culture just like the previous books required for me to read in high school. " Oh Joy'( sarcasticly) I guess you could say i was never into mexican food or mexican culture and the books i read before in my oppinion were horendous to be completely honest. But we will see....

  1. you bring great joy to my heart to read your inspiring post. i am in total agreement that this character on the front cover may potentially be a prostitute, possibly due to the fact that they have been moved to a completely new country, with probably not much money, and will have to make money fast somehow. they probably aren't mexican immigrants, cuz the back of the book says they are from the Dominican Republic. but yes we will see if this book proves to be a sensual adventure on which we will all joyously traverse to God knows what end. i look forward to a most exquisite crusade through unfamiliar literature. thank you for your time

  2. Dude, you should make your 'i's upper case. But that review is hilarious. Because I do not have that version of the book cover it was interesting to see what the cover is like for you guys. They very well could be prostitutes or illegal immigrants, which would probably make the story 10x more exciting because that would mean there would always be an element of danger to the story of someone getting captured. But, I do not think they are from Mexico because Mr. VK said that they were from the Dominican Republic and I do not know how much illegal immigration there is from there as that would be very very difficult, as documented plane flights and/or boat rides would be the only way to get to the US from there. Unless you went in a little raft or dingy, and then you would probably die...
