Title of book:
Why do you think the author wrote this book? Why do you think that? (Write a well-developed paragraph explaining your answer. 3-5 sentences!)

I feel like the author wrote this book to show how a kid with mexican parents live during 90s as a chicano and how he has trouble to identify himself Another reason the author wrote this book to show others that its not only mexican there is all kind of people hear and how we can be different for example not all have a cholo life,accent as all other spanish speakers.
book name is drink coca cola by jose antonio burciaga.

Post Office

The book tells the story of a man who really has never tried much at all to make himself a better person, he complains about his job but does nothing about it. So far this has been an interesting book to read as it kind of shows us what could go on if we don't actually try to progress in life. The protagonist has a bad job with an even worse manager simply because he isn't respectful. Again teaching us another lesson that we have to treat others how it is that we want to be treated because some people can truly make your life a nightmare especially when they're your boss. In conclusion I believe that the author chose to write this book in order to show us what could happen if you choose to not be the best human being, it's weirdly motivating for me as I see this character live such a shitty life and as I read all I think about is how I don't want this life.

Girl, Interrupted
I think that the author wrote this book because she also was struggling with mental problems like the protagonists. She was exploring her feelings and confusions of having bipolar disorder and depression through the characters of the book. She also wrote it because she wanted to tell the readers how hard it is for many women to live with mental issues without being officially diagnosed by a professional.

I think the author wrote this book because she wanted to show how hard and dangerous it was working during world war l. I think this because what i have heard read so far from this book it talks about a murder that happened at a library during the world war l. It also explains every detailed that occured from working at a hospital to a murder occuring at a library was world war l was happening.
