Lupe’s own love of reading flour-is

Lupe’s own love of reading flour-ished during these years. Her vocabulary
was enriched and her imagination
fired by the novels she read—novels
which she learned later were classics
of Spanish literature. She read Don
Quixote,the famous story of the noble,
impractical knight who fought against
windmills. She read thrilling accounts
of the Mexican revolution. She read
La Prensa,the local Spanish-language
paper, and Selecciones,the Spanish-language version of Reader’s Digest.
