=The passage that stayed with me from __The Meaning of Consuelo__ is " My Puerto Rican cuento had a conclusion that I could have never predicted from the clues given to me at the beginning. I was a girl born to //gente decente//, neither rich nor poor, proud people, intelligent people, who loved me, through they did not, or perhaps could not, see me for who I became as a result of motivation and circumstance." (Pg. 180-181) This passage had stayed with me because Consuelo is telling how she feels about her life story (cuento) and how she thinks her parents see her. This passage also helped me better understand the novel. Also, this passage shows that the author uses mainly English text but inserts a few Spanish words.=
