Julia AlvarezA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Anita’s Mami and Papi are passionate individuals who dedicate their lives to fighting for the freedom of the Dominican Republic. In what ways is Anita passionate and inspired by her family? Do you see any similarities between yourself and Anita? If so, what are these?
Teaching Suggestion: This question links directly with the Personal Connection Prompt, as it focuses on making direct connections between the student’s response prior to reading and making comparisons with Anita. Depending on the level of the class, this prompt could work well for whole-class discussion.
