The correct answer is: character struggles to get her parents to understand her.
Explanation:
Elenita, the protagonist of Ortiz Cofer's <em>Gravity</em>, struggles with her parents because they cannot understand her. For example, they wanted her to be a good Catholic girl who wears a uniform and goes to school. However, Elenita was quite rebellious and she wanted to wear hippie clothes and to listen loud music. She went to school, wore the uniform and hair in a braid, but after school, she was doing whatever she wanted.
Her parents also have their own internal conflicts, as her mother wants to return to Puerto Rico, while her father wants to stay in the U.S. because he was ashamed of the life they had in Puerto Rico.
