reading others response to the book i found it very interesting how many like (Emily) applied this book to modern times. she mentioned that this racism is still very apparent in the states especially in California towards Spanish people. and that made me think that there is a big difference between Canada and the states in this regard because Canada encourages diversity and even though racism is present is not as Strong as in the states towards Hispanic people.
Nicole also mentioned something very interesting which is the presence of the author in the book in some occasions she talks to the reader. which is interesting because if you read the introduction of the book it mentions that the author did not want to have her name published in the book because she was scared it would affect the way the book was seen, yet she included her self in the story, t in more mysterious way, with out an identity almost as a neutral party yet when we learn more about the author we see that she favors Lola.
