Read the two excerpts about Jorge del Pino from Dreaming in Cuban. Excerpt 1: My grandfather came running and said, “Celia, let
the girl go. She belongs with Lourdes.” Excerpt 2: “Pilar doesn’t hate you, hija. She just hasn’t learned to love you yet.” Which statement best synthesizes the ideas in these two excerpts? Jorge understands that mother-daughter relationships can be complex. Jorge values his relationship with his daughter more than the one with his wife. Jorge wants more than anything to build a closer relationship with his granddaughter. Jorge wants his family to value their Cuban background and stay together.
