This is something I have realized while I'm reading this book. The majority of books I've read in the past there was always a narrator and "I"'s in the story. However, this book, How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accent, there is no narrator or no point of view. I find that interesting.
Do you think it has an affect on how the story is told? Do you think the read maybe written better if it had an narration?
Later on in the book, narration starts...isn't that a bit confusing at times?

I think that this story has no "I"'s in the book because the story is told from a 3 person's perspective. I think that the story is told better from an outside point of view because it goes into depth about each character, and if it was told from one of the daughter's point of view's, it would ruin how the story is written. I think that this plays a major role on the story because if it was told from the mother's perspective/daughter's, it would be from their own opinion, instead of allowing you to formulate your own thoughts and ideas on it.

I agree with Angelina, if the story was being told by the mother or daughter's point of view, then the story wouldn't let me create my own thoughts and ideas about what is happening in the book. This is why I think that the story told by an outside narrator is better, since it goes in depth to each character and allows you to have your own opinions about each character.
