Pick your favorite passage that is UNDER a paragraph long, post it, and say why it is your favorite. (This does not mean it has to be the most important, just the one you like the best.)
What is the importance of the following quote? "La Muerte is coming for me. She knows where I live"? Dig deep, and think beyond just one way you can take it.
What is the importance of the title "the natural." What are different ways that you can take this?
In "the natural," Lupita says, "Suddenly I realize how much I can't control, how much I am not promised." What is a time in your life when you have felt this way?
Upload a picture that you think represents the poem "mi madre" in some way (NOT a diamond). Use the photo icon on the left to get a picture and insert it.
Aside from the fact that it is what actually happened in her own life, why do you think the author chose to have Mami die in this book? Why didn't she have her recover instead? How would the book be different if she had?
What is one way flowers/trees are used in Part V, and what are they in there to represent?
Why do you think the author entitled Part 5 "cut like a diamond"? Go beyond just the quote about her being a diamond; think about the entirety of Part 5.
Draw a depiction of what Lupita goes through from the beginning to end of Part 5.
