Reading Log: “Antojos”—by Julia Alvarez Literary Terms: Theme 3rd person limited point-of-view Can perceive only one character’s thoughts and feelings

Reading Log: “Antojos”—by Julia Alvarez How is the main character, Yolanda, different from her aunts? She is more independent How does Yolanda interact differently with Jose than when interacting with the two men? Speaks Spanish to Jose; speaks English to the two men

Reading Log: “Antojos”—by Julia Alvarez How is Yolanda’s search for the guavas reflective of her own personal struggles? The search is long and filled with complications, similar to her struggle to fit in to both her native country and the United States. What do the guavas represent to Yolanda other than just a tasty treat? Her connection to her native country

Reading Log: “Antojos”—by Julia Alvarez The title of this story, “Antojos”, means cravings. Why do you think the story was titled this? Think about the “cravings” she has. Craving both guavas and a connection to her native country Yolanda feels disconnected to her native country. How does this represent a theme? Need to be connected to your heritage; reveals the more we try to recapture something, the more elusive it becomes.
