The Republic of East L.A.

What I enjoyed and what worked well:
I enjoyed the background information about the author because it also shows where the novel is from. This worked well because the background information about the author changing his life around from being a gang member is inspiring and interesting. This was a big factor of listening more about the novel.

What I learned from this presentation:
I learned about the themes of this novel which were alcoholism and family abandonment, and these themes were described well with explanations. I also learned a lot about the author, which I enjoyed and thought I worked well for the presentation.

Comments/Questions:
The audio of the author reading his pieces was a nice addition to the presentation.
