The book is in the past which is in 1940s. The place is in Mexico and the family does not have a lot to deal with and when they went to the United States they were struggling. The family were going through even more struggle when Roberto left when he got married. The theme of the book is telling about Francisco’s life and what he went through. The message in the book is to be great for what you have because they are other people who have less than you. If you see someone struggling with something just try to help out. Also try to be kind to others because you don’t know what they are going through. What I liked about the book is when Papa came to Francisco graduation. The part of the book that i didn’t like is when Papa didn’t go to most of Francisco’s graduation’s. I would recommend this book to a friend because it tells you about how to appreciate what you have and never complain, they are other people that are struggling because they don’t have what you
