7A) The characters in the book that engage my interest are Sister Rosetta and the narrator 

because as a fourteen year old girl; the narrator is still trying to find who she wants to be as a person and what interest her and Sister Rosetta sees that. Sister Rosetta helps the narrator find herself and opens her eyes to see things in a different perspectives. Sister Rosetta reminds me of my grandmother because Sister Rosetta was there for the young girl through those rough times in a young girls life as she is still trying to find herself as a person. My grandmother has always been a role model to all her nephews and nieces and thats what Sister Rosetta did for the narrator. 

B) One conflict in the book that I can identify with is the part in the story where the mother tries to encourage the narrator that men have a greater role. Growing up in a Hispanic background, I have witnessed my family members do this to their children when in reality, both men and women have an equal say in anything they do. 

C) A major problem in the book was when Sister Rosetta begins to protest for the change of 

nun’s uniform. This was a major problem  because it goes to show what society expects from not only nuns but from women in general. This problem is soon resolved when Sister Rosetta wins her campaign to change the clothing. 

E) While reading the story, I have noticed the change in  the narrator. She goes from a 14 naive fourteen year old girl to now an English Professor teaching at a southern university. The narrator has now transitioned from a young girl to an adult. I can personally  connect with the author in this book through the use of the Latino background in the book and how the author gives examples of there traditions mentioned in the book as well.
