In judiths cofers "gravity," how do elenitas mother and father conlict?

In Judith Ortiz Cofer's "Gravity" the conflict between her mother and father is that the mother wants to return to Puerto Rico, but the father is committed to staying in the United States.

Explanation:

Elenita's mother is always talking about the family on the Island and longing to see them again. On the contrary, her father is constantly speaking about the restaurant owned by Reyes. He is constantly offering excuses for not going to Puerto Rico. After some years Elenita learns that her father was ashamed of not being able to provide them with the middle-class life her mother was used to in Puerto Rico, so he doesn't want to face her mother's family.

the second sentence is a great revision in my opinion. that would be a great topic.
