  1. Marissa was a though girl at the begining of the story , she would beat up anyone who would hurt friends or family. but after meeting Rene , she beacme worried for a stranger. and without realizing it she fell in love with Him , a nerd , wich couldn't be beacuese she was so though. The message the author wanted to give us was that , love happens when not expected and with the most unixpected person.

    Marisa was a good character to read about. But in the book they made her seem like a bad influence. The message is that you can fall in love with anyone and it can be totally accidently thaTS why the book is called acidental love.

    I think that Marisa was a bad character.But its a good book for us students because we relate to her and her life.The message that the author was trying to get across was how opposites can attrack each other and make one other turn their lives around.

  4. Marisa is really a kind character because evn though she beat up Roberto it was only because she cared about her friend.so she is a kind person on the inside......kind of like a coconut. she cared for rene because she helped him with his social skills and nobody picks on him. I believe what the author is trying to get across is that not all people are what they seem. And that people can change.

  5. I think Marisa as a charector is someone who takes care of her friends but when things don't go her way she gets mad. She wants her way or noway like a normal teenager The message of Gary Soto is that to be open to new opinois like Mirisa did to a nerd :)

    I think Marisa is over protective of her nerd. She should let him fight his own battles once in a while. Based on Marisa's experience I think that the author is trying to tell us that even the most different of couples can get along. They also helped each other become better people.

  7. Marisa seems like a really strong person. She seems likes she wants to change because, when shes with Rene when she wants to say mean things she doesnt because she loves him. I think the author is trying to say that just because your opposites doesnt mean that you cant fall inlove with them because, the strangest people fall inlove like your best friend and some weirdo kid whos really annoying.

  8. I think Marissa is a very cool character. She's willing to protect her family & friends, and the people she loves. I think she likes how she is with Rene, so she wants to be around him more often. She realizes how she can sound mean & snotty at times, & doesn't like it, so she does something about it, & tries to change.

    Marisa is a person who looked after her friends when in trouble she acts sometimes like a jerk with her parents like their nothing. In my opinion the message gary Soto wants to show is that teenagers can never find that perfect someone.

  11. I dont think Marisa is a nomal teenage girl. She is tough & defensive, she doesn't talk much either.
    I think the message the author is trying to get across is: Love comes in many forms and can happen to anyone.

  12. Marisa was an interesting character because she prefered to stay quiet when it comes to knowing what was right. She held back on telling people how she felt about things. Based on Marisa's experiences the message the author is trying to get across is how you can find love in anyone and it doesnt matter if you's are different.
