Selena Quintanilla was born on April 16, 1971, the youngest sibling of 3, the others being Suzette and AB Quintanilla. Her parents are Abraham Quintanilla and Marcella Samora.

To be more specific, with her father’s entire support, Selena could tour country fairs and played school dances with her siblings. Her father, Abraham even opened a restaurant just in order to book his kids to perform in the place. In this process, there is a scene that Selena’s mom and dad had argument because her mom did not like Abraham strongly pushed her to be like a professional singer even though she is a little girl. Thus, her mom and dad had had opposite views. Her mom wanted Selena to enjoy when she sings, but her father wanted her to draw her heart/soul out to the audiences when she performs on the stage.

Also to always take the opportunity to make your life happy. The reason why I say this is because the way that Luis never had motivation in himself to go back to school because he had a feeling that he was going to get into fights. For example Luis says, “Nobody supported me; my family thought I had gone crazy. They thought, you crazy gangster, you crazy drug addict, now you want to be a writer? That's it! They totally gave up on me after that”(Rodriguez). This quote shows how Luis wasn’t able to get the support from his parents. When he was in high school he was afraid of failing by himself, but in reality he was able to become as an activist and motivational person that made him change his life by becoming as a better person. Also by making a good decision by leaving his gang and by choosing the right path by going to

The movie what’s cooking depicts a film about four families with different cultures and the same problem most families endure in America.

The Sanchez family is the typical Latino family that you find in most neighborhoods. The mother, Celia Sanchez doesn’t speak English since she’s surrounded by people who speak Spanish. As a Latino mother she’s very religious attends church and participates in church events where she gets food as well. Since Celia’s English is limited this was an impediment during school conferences and other situations that she has faced. Celia wants to apply for food stamps but her husband Hector doesn’t agree and is completely against it. I kind of understand where Hector is coming from being the man of the house he feels that he needs to provide for his family and thinks he’s responsible for everyone. Thus, he doesn’t leave room for additional help and wants to everything himself.

Selena was a great warrior, she brought many people together with her music. Selena made music in both spanish and english which brought both communities together, “Throughout her career, Selena was not only inspired by Tejano music but created a fusion of musical genres that incorporated other Latin sounds and inevitably won over Latinos across the country,” (“Selena.”) Selena was able to lace both communities together due to her mixed cultural background.

I found this this book would be most relatable to myself, since I am a Latina and my parents who have experiences a tremendous amount of discrimination, poverty, and violence in the past. They have over came these obstacles and were determined to provide my siblings and I with a brighter future.
