In englsih class I am currently reading the book "When I Was Puerto Rican" by Esmeralda Santiago and I have to say I really like this book. I'm currently on page 53 since I haven't had time to read that much of the book but what I've read so far has really drawn me into the book and I think I will finish reading this book in less than 2 weeks. Every time I read it in class and the timer beeps I don't want to stop reading it because its interesting. So far what I've read is that her dad cheated on her mom because the book is told first person so she's telling her story. So basically her dad cheated on her mom and he had a kid and so they decided to leave their hometown and country and come to New York for a better life or better opportunities basically. She starts saying that life in New York is different from back in her country and its just a really interesting book, I think many would like it and I find reading books like these bring meaning to life because many can relate. The summary on the back of the book reads, "Esmeralda, the oldest, must learn new rules, a new language, and eventually a new identity. Reading this brief summary is what drew me to pick this book and my book choice to read because something about it just made me think I have to read this book and I can say I am satisfied with my choice because so far its a great book.
