Erika L. Sanchez's "I am not your perfect Mexican daughter" complements the intercultural Latin literature and emphasizes the growth of teenagers in South Chicago. Julia, the protagonist of the novel, is a witty teenager and compared to "Perfect Mexican daughter, St. Olga". Olga perfectly complements Julia's dark and humorous life.

The beautiful environment of Chicago is not a perfect Mexican daughter but the special advantage of reading me. The humorous habit of Erika L.

Still the reader will question the two effective aspects, but the conflict will raise more questions . "How can you give this to your parents, what else can you love and some things are dead?"

A perfect persona contains numerous identities and experiences. I am not a realistic story of your perfect Mexican daughter who caught a disillusioned immigrant consciousness. Julia 's parents are often in trouble, I'd like to return to Los Hózos in Mexico. Their diligence is rarely paid off and their nights end with "We dance, including pedaling across the kitchen floor as we are having a party whenever we are not at home." The memory of the house is filled with joy and happiness. The memory of the United States is full of sorrow and poverty. Sánchez also includes a group of strange personality whose most famous Juana was driven out of the house because he refused to adopt the feature of homosexuality. Sanchez respected the considerable background and identity in their respective roles
