I barley started my book, it's called How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents.  By Julia Alvarez.

I think the way the character, Yolanda, expresses her emotions is by talking.. Maybe.

I think this because, her family talks about how they're happy to see her & I think she's happy to be back too, espcially after 5 years. Yolanda told her family that she was thinking of traveling alone, I thought that meant she had courage!

The connection i can make to my book is that in Aurora there's over 1300 kids waiting to be adopted or in foster care. This reminds me of my book because all the girls are in a foster home together. I think that it's sad because they got abused in there home before, & they have to leave the people they love. Most of the times, kids get moved from foster home to foster home, like in my book, Whitney, has been in 7 or 8 foster homes already & she is barley 10 years old. So the world can connect to my book because of that.
