to my horror that my grandmother is lost. She can’t find her way back to the pew. I am so embarrassed that even though the woman next to me is shooting daggers at me with her eyes, I just can’t move to go get her. I put my hands over my face like I’m praying, but it’s really to hide my burning cheeks.” In spite of this, Constancia did not get up and help Abuela because she was embarrassed that Abuela was roaming around when she should be sitting down. Towards the end of the story, Abuela says, “You made me feel like a zero. Like a nothing.” Therefore, Abuela’s feeling did get hurt because Connie let her be lost instead of guiding her back. Connie had an experience that shaped her values she learned to make new mistakes rather than old ones. This shows that the theme of this story teaches the reader a life lesson on why to treat your family with respect or else we lose respect for ourselves.
