Connecting+to+her+own+life

I noticed that this chapter covers a much longer time span than the previous few chapter. I like how the book changes pace when less important things occur in the plot. It keeps me from getting bored with the story. Isabel's style of writing is very unique and enjoyable.1205103012

I felt that in this chapter Isabel Allende really connected her characters to people in her own life. In this case I felt she really connected Clara to perhaps her own grandmother and her relationship with her. Throughout the chapter it talks about how Alba feels Clara is the strongest presense in her life and the most important person in the house and how she follows her everywhere. It seemed as if Isabel Allende was fondly remembering her own experiences with her grandmother as a child and embodied those memories through Clara. **lde-ia**
