1.) I think this story is going to be about a girl who really likes this boy, but they will not be able to be together.

2.) Elena and Eugene both  like to read, and they differ with their ethnic background, they are from different places (Eugene is white and Elena is Spanish)

3.) So far the story is about Elena and she likes a boy name Eugene but she does not know how to tell him explain, they have some of the same interest , but Elena still is not sure if Eugene feels the same for her as she does for him.

4.) I think that the writer family was on her more about her heritage but she wanted to be her own self and not just be a  senorita but also try new things.

  

5.) Mr. DePalma was a strict person, but at the same time he still had feeling, and he took the death of President Kennedy Strongly emotionally and too Elena for surprise because she never saw him as that type of person.

6.) It was ironic because the day they want to study is the same day that President Kennedy was killed, and it makes them seem like they have no sympathy at all.

7.) She thinks its unfair because she really liked Eugene but because of his mother discriminating against Elena's race she never got a chance to even study with him and express her feelings.Thats why i think Eugene was so quiet and shy  because he knew exactly how his mother would react to the whole situation.
