"So it's hard to speak up, 'cause i don't speak as good as the rest of the people do. Sometimes I don't think my ideas are good enough, or I don't think my brain is smart enough. I still talk, but I get so nervous, I get all hot and sweaty and my heart starts beating fast . . . " (75)

"I'll never forget when we first started reading the book. It was like - you know how I felt when I first read that book? It was like somebody stripped. That's the kind of feeling I had. 'Cause Sandra Cisneros wrote about a lot of things that are hard to talk about, or painful to admit, but she had the guts to bring them out. . . I never thought you could do that in a book. I never thought that was writing. I always thought you had to have these long, nice sentences, but she has some sentences that are only one word!" (76)
