Judging by its cover, which contemporary sayings tell you explicitly not to do, the book looks interesting. Although my cover is a different version from most peoples', several things can still be deduced. The glass bottle with the yellow floor on it surrounded by 4 hummingbirds (presumably) can symbolize an array of things. The glass could symbolize assimilation because it is still its own object, yet it is clear and contures to anything around it or near it. The yellow flower coming out of the bottle, while although not the only yellow object on the cover, is the most prominant object of that color. It can symbolize that, even through the assimlation, the main charecter of the book still his her own person engrained in her, while the beauty of the flower may symbolize her own unique beauty. The hummingbirds can signify good things surrounding this girl because, well, the certainly don't symbolize anything bad, because they look innocent and are nice colors. A quote on the front cover says "Simply Wonderful - Los Angeles Times". I am not going to go off this, however. Because all of the hispanic authored novels we have read in school so far have been terrible, and who reads the LA Times anyway? Would have been more impressive had it been from the NY Times or something. The back cover contains a summary of the book and more relatively generic quotes from reviews, although all comment on how well the book is told and its language usage, so I assume atleast that is good. The book is also called 'powerful' twice, so I am expecting some sort of impact on me, what type, however, I don't know.
