The vignette that made the strongest impression to me was “Cathy Queen of Cats” on Page 12. This vignette shows Cathy talking to Esperanza about her impressions on a bunch of people. Cathy talks about how that person is bad or that one is fine or how someone she used to know named Alicia was her friend but stopped liking her after going to college. The reason this made a strong impression on me is because the title and the content of the vignette were so different. I was expecting a story about a cat lover and how Esperanza would meet her. The vignette instead is about someone and her impression of people she probably never even met and the cat part of the title is just in the vignette when Esperanza talks about how many cats Cathy has. It also showed how impressionable kids can be as Cathy considers herself to be someone important most likely because someone told her she was and she also thinks badly of people most likely because she was told about them and never actually met them.
