READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION BELOW.

On December 28, 1958, my grandparents, Monica and Frank Rossi, left for their honeymoon in Cuba. Little did the newlyweds know that Cuba was at the height of its most violent revolt in history and that the government was about to fall.

I interviewed my grandmother. These are her answers from a firsthand point of view:

"We landed in Havana, Cuba’s capital. When we got off the plane, no one was very helpful. We paid little attention, though, because we were very excited.

"On New Year’s Eve, we went to the most popular nightclub in Cuba, the Tropicana. It was great. Your grandpa and I were so crazy back then; we even got onstage and started a conga dance. At about 2 a.m., we decided to go back to our hotel. When we stepped outside, the street—which was usually lined with cabs—was deserted. I didn’t yet know what was beginning to happen, but I knew something wasn’t right.

"When I got in bed that night, I heard lots of loud explosions. Since it was New Year’s Eve, I thought they were fireworks, so I said, ‘These Cubans sure know how to celebrate!’ Little did we know that these noises were actually ___________________. The revolution had started.

"The next morning, your grandfather called the front desk and asked about sightseeing. The concierge said in a panicked tone, ‘Señor, this is not a good day to go sightseeing. The entire Cuban government has fallen, and the country is in a revolt!’

(continued) "We decided to go to brunch at another hotel. As we were walking there, the streets were becoming very crowded. The closer we got to the center of town, the more excitement we saw. There were lots of people crammed into tiny cars.

"There were people dancing, and everyone was singing, and lots of people were waving flags. I took out my camera to take a picture. As I did, your grandfather grabbed my arm and started running down the sidewalk with me as fast as he could. Finally I stopped him and asked what we were doing. He said, ‘Mona, when you lifted your camera, a Cuban man took out his gun and pointed it at your head!’ We decided that we had better get back to the hotel. In our room, we listened to the radio. Of course, it was in Spanish. All I could understand was that Batista had left Cuba.

"In the morning a nervous man from the U.S. Embassy came to the hotel. He told us that the U.S. Embassy was trying to negotiate with the various people involved with the revolution to get us out safely. The next morning we took a ship to Key West, Florida. I was sad that it had come to the point that it was too dangerous for us to stay."

Conclusion: I have learned so much from this opportunity to really talk to my grandmother about her life. I encourage all kids to take any chance they get to spend time with their grandparents. You never know—I mean, it could be cool.
