Julia talks about the difference in her mother's expectations for her and the expectations she has for herself. How do you feel those expectations are influenced by Amá's immigration to the United States versus Julia's upbringing in the United States?

How do the expectations Amá has for Julia differ from the expectations she had for her older sister Olga before she passed away? How does Julia and Amá treat those expectations? How do they impact their relationship after Olga's death? Does their relationship change after Julia discovers more details about how Amá and Apa crossed the United States border and the hardships they faced? How?
