|
|
In “How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents,” Julia Alvarez wrote a well-written autobiographical novel. ... Like Julia Alvarez, the Garcia sisters was born in the Dominican Republic and immigrated to the United States in 1960. In the novel, “How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents” their father, Carlos, got in trouble with the secret police for his involvement to overthrow the Trujillo dictatorship. ... For example, at the end of the chapter, the Garcia girls’ father shows his anger for his resistance to the cultural changes, which he himself has brought upon his girls by bringing them to the United States.
Like the Mirabel sisters, Dominican cultural tradition teaches the Garcia girls to be chaste, but their American environment teaches them to rebel.
