Themes

Culture differences is a really important theme in the Caroline’s wedding because Caroline was born in America, so she was influenced by the culture of freedom. As a result, her thought was full of freedom of marriage. Yet, her mother was born in Haiti. She is definitely a traditional Haitian woman: she presents the sides of a Haitian culture.
Quotes: We can celebrate with some strong bone soup,” she said. “I am making some right now.”
“If she keeps making this soup,” Caroline whispered, “ I will dip my head into the pot and scald myself blind. That will show her that there’s no magic in it.”
Heritage is another vital theme in the Caroline’s wedding because they were born in different regions,    but they have the same blood from Haiti. Caroline was born in America, but she accepts some of the culture, yet no all of them are being accepted.
Quotes: “ I want to give you a wedding shower,” I said to Caroline in the cab on the way to Eric’s house.
“ I don’t like showers,” Caroline said” but I’ll let you give me one because there are certain things that I need.”
