Summary
Throughout time, people from many different religious and cultural backgrounds have relied on language to communicate effectively with one another. Although there are thousands of various languages, the goal within each is usually the same: to express one’s opinion and reveal something that may not have been seen otherwise. Whatever the topic of conversation may be, it is essential for a person to have communication skills. Language, it seems, is something that people take for granted; very rarely does anyone actually pause to consider the very significance of words. Imagine the difficulty that people from vastly different cultures must encounter when attempting to communicate in a completely different language. How does one maneuver? In Julia Alvarez’s novel, How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents, four young girls are forced to grow up caught between different languages and contrasting cultural expectations.
