The Quinceañera Text is a book written by Erin fanning .This book is about a Mexican girl that celebrated her 15 year old that in Latin America this year it is called Quinceañera .In this story you see a girl that want to have a cellphone ,and she wants to has a party like Consuela ,that was her cousin .

Consuela was very lucky because she had an elegant party and she receives all that she was dreaming. Ana that was the girl that in the introduction we mention, she not receive the gif that she wants, she obtain the Libro de recetas that was pass in generation to generation she didn’t value that gift ,in the end she value that gift and she learn that is most important the family that a simple cellphone. Now you know a summary about "THE QUINCEAÑERA TEXT".
This summary was very important because we have to identify the tone and mood of this story .For the people that don’t know what tone is and mood? Tone is an attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience. Tone is generally conveyed through the choice of words or the viewpoint of a writer on a particular subject, and mood is the atmosphere of a piece of writing .it’s the emotions a selection arouses in a reader.
 Now we identify what tone is present in the story .The tone that is appreciative and reflective, the tone was appreciative and reflective in this part (“I ran my fingers across the leather cover, tracing the word “Recetas. It may not have been a cellphone , but it spoke to me all the same “) I think that this  phrase are connecting with that two words because the author transmit that Ana  finally understand what its better ,what it more important to her culture and herself .And the mood are disappointing and optimistic .

Disappointing because she  don’t want a party like that and optimistic because she understand that is more important the family .The phrase that are connecting with disappointing is in this part (“For a second ,I felt a shiver of resentment ,remembering Consuela`s Quinceañera (…..)It’s OK .If Papa hadn’t lost his job, then maybe it would be different .BUT I REALLY DON’T CARE”, and the phrase that are connecting with optimistic is (“I like it very much .Will you teach some of Juanita’s recipes? (…….) It may not have been a cell phone, but it spoke to me all the same “)
