MVP Summary

        In Chapter 9 of the novel, “Motorcycle Ride on the Sea of Tranquility,” by Patricia Santana, Carolina deals with a life changing experience that could either turn out really well or really bad. Carolina was willing to take a step further with her boyfriend Tom. She was ready to finally invite him over to her house. Carolina was eager to have Tom be introduced to the Sahugan family so she decided to have him come on a surprise visit. Although she was aware that her mom advised her not to invite Tom over, she did it anyway. Carolina knew that if Tom came over to her house, her dad would not react to her expectations. While knowing the potential outcome, Carolina was determined that it was time for her family to meet her boyfriend Tom. When the family heard the knock on the door from Tom, Carolina was ready to face her fears and act like an adult for this matter. As soon as her dad saw him walk in his words were “Get out.”(162) Carolina was not surprised that her dad reacted this way but she did not give up with what she believed. A conversation went back and forth between Carolina, Tom, and her dad. This incident quickly turned into a family dilemma that felt like it would never end. Carolina continued to give valid reasons to her father by saying comments like, “Papa, I want to do this the proper way. I want you to meet my friends, to approve.” Carolina was continued to be put down by her father. Later when Tom came in mid-prayer for Chuy, Tom asked if her dad if he could join in and he did. Tom was later than accepted by the family and Carolina finally was satisfied for the acceptance of her boyfriend.
