Answers to the questions

1; I think this story is a about this girl, who use to live in Puerto Rico, who moves to American and soon starts to like a boy who doesn't like her. 

2; Some Ways Elena and Eugene are alike is that they both like to read books and both go to the same school. Some ways they are different is that Eugene lives in a house while Elena lives in E1 Apartment, plus Eugene is in the honors class for all his classes while Elena is a stalker looking in the whole school for him. 

3; I think on page 567 is about Elena and Eugene finally started to get a little closer to each other. They started to walk each other home, pick out books together, and Elena was really starting to fall in love.

4;The first column on page 568 shows that her traditions in her family is that when you are 14 you are a senorita. She also talks about when she was younger she remebers going to Puerto Rico to go to a funeral and all she remembers and meeting people clamming to be her aunts, uncles, and cousins. The attitude of the writer is that she is upset at her mother because she is acting very vigilant. The mother keeps nagging her about virtue, and morality. 

5;The significants of Mr. DePalma's behavior on page 569 was that is a emotional man that doesn't like to show it. This behavior shows me that he is a person that tries to act manly but he really does have emotions. 

6;It's ironic that they chose to study the same subject of American History because this is what the story is called and is what it is based off of. Plus they are still studying even though the president got shot.

7; The author's attitude towards the prejudice was that she was upset. Eugene's mother didn't like her only because she is a Puerto Rican that lives in the E1 building. The lady is just judging her and she doesn't even know the little girl.
