The beginning of part 2 switched back to the present when Dede is talking to the interviewer about how all the problems started. Dede started explaining how it was all because of Lio Morales, who both Dede and Minerva met at their father shop, and started hanging out a lot. Since the point of view was based of Dede, we can see the jealousy she holds against Minerva. Dede is jealous about the relationship between Lio and Minerva and had exposed them hiding in the bush together and even burnt the letter that was meant for Minerva from Lio. The view then switched to Minerva where she associate the connotations of setting, rain storm, with the events of the party. ("suspicion clouds the gaze,a cloud of annoyance crosses his face, etc.) Minerva and Dede seem to have different personalities. Minerva is seem to be the more careless, and full of curiosity while Dede is more responsible and understanding. Minerva also lost her purse which contain letters from Lio and put her family in danger. The view then switched to Maria Teresa's diary. Through these entries, we can see how she doesn't like finishing her thoughts, but leave the readers to infer what she means. She also uses a lot of rhetorical questions and exclamation marks, which allows the readers to get an idea of what kind of person she is.
I read these parts of the book in different locations. In the morning to school and the morning back home, I would read different parts of it on the train and bus. It would be noisy sometimes, which distracts me from my reading. I also read this at home, in my room, where it is quiet and peacefully. I focus and understand better in a quiet environment.
When reading the beginning part about how Minerva, Dede, Jaimito, and Lio started hanging out, it was kind of strange to me since Minerva and Dede met Lio at their father's shop. Dede being jealous of Minerva reminds me of how there was this one girl I knew who tried to break up this couple because she was jealous of their relationship. She didn't want to see her happy and would try to destroy her happiness in every possible ways. Dede also marry her cousin, Jaimito, which is disgusting I would never marry my own cousin. Minerva and Dede having different personalities remind me of my brother and I. We are the total opposite of each other. I am also enjoying this book! I actually thought it was boring based on the cover and title, but then again, I should never base a book by the cover.
