  1. Journal What do you consider “major events” in your life? Why are these events more important than others?

  2. Discussion Questions • When Santiago meets Mr. Barone, she tells him that she wants to be a model. Does she mean it literally? What does that tell us about her aspirations? • Why is Santiago driven to leave Brooklyn? Do you think she herself knows why? • Is Santiago conflicted about becoming more “American?” What do you think becoming more American means to her?

  3. Discussion Quote “I had failed the audition and would never, ever get out of Brooklyn.” Why does Santiago feel this way? Can you relate to this sentiment? Have you ever been in a position like this?
