Specifically‚ The Fosters’ meaningfully represents a family that is diverse and challenges the tropes of kinship. To

In this analysis‚ I have analyzed several fractured narratives in the novel. Andres is the main character in the novel - and is someone that the writer wants to sympathize. Therefore
