In+what+ways+is+Yolanda+different+from+her+aunts?

Yolanda is different from her aunts because:

- She grew up in the United States instead of in the Dominican Republic. She has started losing some of her Spanish. She does not understand and has forgotten alot of the language because she has been away from her homeland for so long. For example, she does not remember what the word antojos means and relies on her aunts to remind her. Her aunts have grown up in the Republic and have had very sheltered lives; which is why they are shocked when Yolanda dares to travel into the North.

- Yolanda is different from her aunts as she is not afraid to travel into the North by herself. Her aunts are scared for her and try to talk her out of it, but Yolanda does not listen. She is very narrow minded and will travel into to North if that is what she wants to do, even if her aunts are worried and tell her not to. Yolanda will not listen.

- Yolanda is alot more daring than her aunts and has more confidence in herself to make her own decisions.
