Discussion Question: Week Thirteen Reading

In Wildwood by Junot Diaz we see how Lola changes from trying to be a model daughter for her mother to a "punk" due to her mother constant complaints. Do you think where Lola lives have any cultural influence to why she chose to be rebellious? That Lola's change was because she was in America, where examples of "punk" attitudes exist among her peers and the media? If the family had lived in Santo Domingo do you think Lola would have continued being the model daughter instead of becoming punk if the culture was to listen to her mother?
