Andrea has a great love for both her family and the San Joaquin Valley. “The sounds of people laughing and talking, food frying, shrieking toddlers, and Street Fighter mingle throughout the house. It’s a makeshift house that is just right for our large family.” (Pg. 62-63) In this quote, Andrea is describing what it is like to be with her family at her grandma’s house, all the sounds of a big hectic family. “My sister and I always complain about how we’re going to be bored there and how we hate to baby-sit our little cousins, but that’s just pretend. They’re all so cute.” (Pg. 60) In this quote, Andrea talks about how she has to watch her little cousins, and even though she pretends that she doesn’t want to watch them, she really doesn’t mind, because she loves her cousins. “Here in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, the part that no one sees when they pass. A place filled with wonderful people, culture, and most important, my family.” (Pg. 63) In this quote, Andrea expresses her love for both her family and the San Joaquin Valley. Overall, the unbreakable love that Andrea has for the San Joaquin Valley, and for her family is evident throughout the text.
