Ana even goes as far as telling her mother “Why is a women’s virginity the only thing that matters? I have thoughts, feelings, and opinions.” (Real) her mother looks at her weird. On the other hand there is Ana’s teacher Mr. Guzman, who sees the benefits from sending Ana to college and leaver her dirty old neighborhood. Mr. Guzman helps Ana out by pulling some strings at Colombia University. He also tells her to apply for scholarships, but when she doesn’t he shows up at her house. When she did get into Colombia University the first person to tell her was Mr. Guzman. Ana’s mother does not support Ana leaving for college and leaving the family.

In today’s society the majority of the crimes are still being committed by people who have possessed a firearm that has been obtained illegally or without proper permits. That being said there has been a strong push for gun control because of the rise of shootings involving a large group of people such as the Columbine massacre, Virginia Tech shooting and latest Aurora movie theater shooting involving people who have purchased firearms legally. Gun control laws in the United States have been established for many years but to maintain a civilized society with limited crime stronger control laws need to be enforced in which will help reduce crime in our country. Establishing stronger gun control laws will educate

On the other hand the main focus on Tan’s story is to show the beautiful and passionate side of her mother that people can't see.

In this day and age, the overall consensus is that families vary and that is okay. There is no right or wrong way of doing things anymore, at least to some extent. I come from a family that is divorced and remarried a few times, and I have many brothers and sisters that share anywhere between all blood, some blood, and no blood. I love them all the same. For my case study project, I thought it would be interesting to observe a family which is somewhat similar to my own.

She has a talent for storytelling.” Carmen’s motivation is seeing her daughters succeed and be happy in life. She gets there by helping her daughters with whatever like she helped Estela make some of the 100 dresses and she helped Ana by letting her go across the state to a great university at the end of the play. Therefore, she was a strong mother for letting them be free and she was there all along to support them with anything because she didn’t want to be in the way of her daughters’ fantasy. Another character is Ana. She is “18, plump and pretty, sister of Estela, daughter of Carmen. She is a recent high school graduate and a young feminist.” Ana’s motivation is becoming a writer. Ever since her high school year, she had a journal to write in so, when she becomes famous she will publish it and will be her autobiography of her accomplishing her dream. She gets there by getting a typewriter for a contest and she will save up money to go to a University. However, she is one hell of a great sister because whenever she leaves the house, she comes back to help her Estela with her

Family is strongest when it is through blood, true family can only be biological.

She eventually decided on what she wanted to study at the university and continued on to

Her goal was to show the school that she was a good student, that she was not lower in rank of the school, that they are equal. She wanted to study hard and be successful for her family. Her parents and grandparents, who work with her, and gave her whatever she needs as a support from them. In other hand she was aware of her classmates “Chicanas” who were against the system, they were scared of how the system works. As Mexicans Americans girls, they want to represent the American and Mexican culture, but in two different ways, with the same exact cause. Avila does it for her family, and Teresa for her open resistance and arrogance.

The girl’s inner characterization resembles a coming of age character. She develops because of the action and her traits as a child are presented in contrast with her traits as a teenager. This contrast is emphasized using the third-person narrator at the beginning of
