Reading Comprehension Questions
by Junot Díaz
8 curated questions
Lola, a young girl, lives in a city far from the island where her family was born. When her teacher asks the class to draw pictures of their home countries, Lola feels sad because she left the island when she was a baby and can't remember it. She decides to ask her family and neighbors to tell her stories about the island. Through their vivid memories, Lola learns about the island's music, animals, culture, and even a big monster that was defeated. She builds a beautiful picture of the island in her mind and draws it, understanding that even if she can't remember it herself, it is a part of who she is.
