Reading Response

Over the summer I read the book Before We Were Free by Julia Alvarez. it was a good book. it showed the problems that that the girl had and it wasn't just a statement the narrator went into detail on things. i enjoyed the book because the plot was interesting it made you think about the things that could happen. one example is when the main character , Anita, saw the light turned on in her uncles shack even though  he had  mysteriously disappeared. one thing i thought was clever was when the author made Anita start out as a loyal person to the Dominican republic and then made her start questioning the leadership of her country. overall it was a good book and i think that people should read it.
