The book follows the story of a young girl named Tita who longs her entire life to marry her lover, Pedro, but can never have him because of her mother's upholding of the family tradition of the youngest daughter not marrying but taking care of her mother until the day she dies. Tita is only able to express herself when she cooks. I enjoyed this book because it taught me a lot about how one’s traditions can affect your life.

But the lessons I learned are applicable to life and have also provided

Scout is very upset and sad about her first day and tells Atticus that she does not want to return to school. “You never went to school and you do all right so I’ll just stay home too. You can teach me like Granddaddy taught you ‘n’ Uncle Jack.” (32). I can empathize with
I went behind my mother’s back to do it even though she begged me to stay. Nana told me that day that she was the only one that loves me, that she is all that I have, that I am nothing without her and if I leave, she will die. Those words have been replaying in my head ever since I saw her dangling from the tree the day I returned from my father’s house. If I knew
'Jesus Not Allowed': Anti-Faith Sentiment Sweeps US Angela Hildenbrand faced the very real possibility of going to jail for her faith. The trouble began when a federal judge ruled that no one at her Texas high school could pray or even use words like "prayer" or "amen" during the 2011 graduation ceremonies.
