I think the main character, Lala, is a very curious girl in everything she does. She seems to take note of absolutely everything that's happening around her. When Lala talks about crossing the border from the U.S. to Mexico she observes things with all five senses. In this, she's also very curious. However, I think she's also very innocent and at some times clueless, which is expected since she is a young girl. This is sometimes frustrating as a reader because I can't fully understand a situation from her description, like when her parents are fighting. I relate to her because I think I'm pretty observant of people around me. Also, she's the youngest in her family and has brothers. I too am the youngest and have an older brother. I think the things that Lala needs to learn to fix her mistakes are normal things that will come with age like learning appropriate behavior in different situations like when she refuses to eat her grandmother's mole. Lala is influenced by her family because those are basically the only people she's spending time with in the book. Also, I think her family entertains her since she's always talking about different details of her family's life. For example, she's intrigued by what her grandmother does doing her alone time.
