  1. Throughout the story Priscilla changed by the 6th grade ever since the white kids started to talk the unicorns and rainbows. They changed because they begin to call Priscilla "La Güera" since she was light skin and half white half Mexican she became a homegirl to her friends then she started to tease her hair have her eyelashes darker with mascara than usual and put on greenish eye shadow so she could fit in with the rest of her "homegirls". Towards the end of the story La Güera not only stole little things from her mom but she started to steal from corner stores.
