Lydia’s character development from the guide to the antagonist who poses as a barrier to her sister in making peace with the past, gives the author tension within herself when she stated that “maybe harsh judgement is what [she] deserved” (235) as a part of her reflection of Lydia’s intolerance. The author sharing the tension with her sister gives readers a chance to understand her motivations for the memoir’s main plot. The realization that that she’s been haunting herself (250) gives the reader satisfaction because the author builds up tension very well where after many years feeling haunted by her past. While there is a rising action, a climax, and a falling action present, the amount of anecdotes overshadowed the main plot which made it hard to define these elements.

Sonia reflects on her catholic school education as what helped shape who she is today. “The sisters of charity helped to shape who I am, but there was much that I wouldn’t be sad to leave behind” (111).

The drawing of narrative inferences by the reader is very important to interpret the work well. However, the author, while writing a story, can treat some incidents in detail and barely mention or even omit others.
