Whats next for Esperanza?

What i think that Esperanza is just trying to leave because she wrote this whole book about the house she has been leaving in. They're was so many things about that house and she wrote a book about it to show how she has been in there and the events that had happen there. she wrote this book because of all the things that had happen to her when she was there and she found some symbols, well she did not find them but she noticed something because most of the vignettes had always have something to do with her and what she wear and items. It also makes the story significant and it grabs the readers attention because of all the weird titles she wrote for all of her vignettes and even some of them were symbols she put in there for a reason so us readers can find clues about this book. The whole story is based upon her life and how her life been and what she had experienced.

I found this quote about some girl in the vignette call Alicia the quote is "Alicia whose mom die [...] lunch box tortilla". This quote i got from class of the difference between boys and girls and how should they be treated, any ways this does not just implies with genders it implies for Esperanza to because maybe she like her mom or maybe she hates her. If Esperanza liked her mom then she would go back into the future and see lots of memory, if she hated her then she might go back for memory or will not go at all. Also this other quote shows how hateful is has been there and what kind of people were there here is the quote “I waited my whole life. You’re a liar. They all lied. [...] everything that told it wrong.” these also can bring back memories for her. I am guessing she will go back for some reason because it said in the book but i just cant find the book or the quote i forgot what page it was. I know that they're are many different reasons she would go back but I cant find the quotes to prove it though.

I believe she would come back for the people she love because she is not that messed up she still got love for one another but basically she just does not show it at all. She seems like a housewife because all the work she do at the house and what she is force to do. I am guessing she would come back because it even said in the book. She is a creative women and a significant women that had went to a terrible life which she is trying to make it better since she wrote this book.

Cisnero Difference between genders

Cisnero would answer the question in a more productive way. I think because she always talks about herself and that shows a difference between men and women. Most of her vignettes are based upon her and I guess when she writes a vignette it just expresses her feeling and what happen during her day. She always has something to say but always in a different way. What I like about her is that she basically shows but don’t tell and that’s what make their readers get into it. She has many things to say about both genders but she says it in a different way where the reader have to zoom in the story and read it like 3 to 4 times so then they get what she is trying to say.
In some way she explains about other genders and how they are and different. Like this quote she says “Is good girl, my friend, studies all night and sees the mice, the ones her father says do not exist” (p.32) this shows that girls are suppose to do what they have to do like choirs and working in the kitchen so they can fix us a full plate of food. As girl’s she is the one who is supposed to go to school and get a great education. That is what they are supposed to do as other people explained it during class. Also another one is “Since she comes right after me, she is my responsibility” Cisneros believes that patients need girls to be more responsible so that they can raise a good family. That shows a really big difference because it shows what boys do and girls.

Overall, it shows differences that other people cannot explain. She has a lot of details about different gender and she explains it in a significant ways. I could not believe how good she compares them I have not seen nothing that good. I like how she don’t tell and show because she explains a lot and puts it in good detail. That is also I very significant way and explains a lot and I makes sense.

4.The Life

Snowman

        During the break from school me and my family went to Reno which was the best day of my life. As we were playing in the snow we found a snowman, as we found the snowman we tried to tackle. As soon I seen it I ran to it and tried to tackle it and it hurt like hell. It was like a brick wall. I was in pain for the whole day and I still tried to tackle it, because I had nothing better to do.
          Later after we finish the snowman off with my body my whole family was throwing snow balls at me and my brother Camal. There was like a foot down the snow which we did not notice. Then me and my brother fell in then they threw a lot of snow balls at us which hurt. One time he threw a snow ball at my face which went into my mouth and it was disgusting because I never taste snow before. Then my brother shoe got stuck and then I have to take it out because he could not do it. Then I took it out with my teeth like I did the other time I went to Reno.
          Finally, as we finish fighting against each other we tried to break the snowman even more. I had a scarf and I try to use it so then I can cut the lower body of the snowman which we fail on that to.  Then I tackle it one last time before we left and then I broke it then we try to break the other lower body and that was a fail then we just left.

Entertainment

    At school I crew up a couple of time but the point is to keep everyone entertain. It’s a habit even though I try to stop it does not stop with me instead it just keep going on even though I am in a bad mood. I am a nice person inside and outside if i want to. Entertainment keeps me happy when others laugh because it makes others happy, but I really need to stop in some places because i can get in trouble with teachers.
    In school that is when I entertain people. Most of the time I usually mess around but since my grades were not so good I am trying to be more productive in all of our activity's. In the class it seem like a Comedian came into our class room.(which is me) Me and my friend Yazen who is my best friend, we goooo way back. We always make fun of each other but i am better than him in jokes. then me and my friend Yazen makes fun of people which his jokes are alive and my was just like a newborn baby came to life.

As I screw up i start to realize its going to effect me later on in life. I also notice its making it harder for me to reach my goal.Its leaves me out in the opening lost. That is one thing i hate about my self and like in a way. In a way i keep peoples emotion up, and the thing i do not like about it is that it makes me become careless for my future and goal. That is why people say that always believe in your goal, which i agree with them because i want to follow but i am pretty sure that it is not going to happen in my opinion.

The Crew

The crew. The crew is me Luis Alba, Fermin Carrera, Yazen Fayad, David Perez, and Bassam Al-kabash. These people are like my brothers to me. What i like about our crew is that we always have something to say to each other in a funny way. Also another thing is that we are never mad at each other unless its something really serious. I never had cool friends these people. I swear life would have been a b**** with out them. I would be bored to death and if one of us have problems we cheer each other up. We are like a therapist for each other because we cheer them up and solve the problem and keep them in a good mood.

This crew was the best crew I ever had. Every lunch we go to the same place and we just have fun sometimes and we do not even get a chance to finish our food which cost money and it smell fantastic. When we see a car like a curve car basically its called a punch buggy then we punch each other and we say no punch back so then we would not hit the person who hit us. We are just not mature but when we are near someone we become mature and sort of immature, but that is how we are. That is why i like my crew because they the S#!%.

The Life

My life is really terrible. i have been to serious things that effects me a lot. One thing is my grades it is really bad last semester and i am proud of my self because i have been improving suffienctly which i am proud of. My teachers give me complement and that is what makes me happy  a lot because it basically keeps my hopes up. I was failing like real bad but then that became to an fantastic student.

School is the main thing in my mind. i do not know why we have to learn and now i notcie the real me. I took lots of people advices and those advices are helping me succeed and be a responsible person in my life.

I hate the first part of my life because it was torture and now its the best. well sort of the best because i know that i am still going to have trouble in college and when i am a upper class men. I have to step my game up since i know i am becoming a better student i was like a chick and i just hatched out of my egg and become a new person and make better decisions for my life and goal.

House on Mango Street Symbolism For Red/Pink

So i am going to talk about "The House on Mango Street" well i think it is basically about symbols she leads out to us readers. We found a couple of them but i bet the is plenty more then what we found. She is smart by bring out lots of vignettes basically random ones i guess she did that so then it grabs us readers attenion. That is a pretty smart way to i think. Well today I am going to be talking about one of her symbols i think it is interesting thats why i chose it and it is red/pink. I pick this one because red to me brings a lot of things in my head.

So in the story it talks a lot about the colors red/pink which is two beatiful colors. I think that it symbols death to her and bunch of other things i said it was death because she mention that one of her neighbors told her husband not to sell the apartment and when she died he sold it right away and thats one thing that occured to me durring that moment i read it. It also shows something about her beauty because she was talking about she went to a dance and she wore a red dress and she said it grabbed a boy attention who i think she like or something not so sure but it symbolize lots of things because think about it how many things in the world is red lots and lots so basically millions of things pops in people head when they think about red or pink. But i guess that she is trying to lead us into something i think is incredible about her life and herself.

She has a lot of symbols she wants us readers to look for so then we can receive the message she is trying to show us basically thats what i think. She is a smart person and i guess she is poor to because of all of the places she had move but because of that it gave her an adventure she never experinced before. Which mde her make this book and became someone. Thats what they say good things haPpen to good people.

The 4 vignettes!!!!

     In the vignette in "my name" it basically talks about here name and how she would like to change it and where she got it from. I think that the symbolic for this vignette is here name and how she would like to change it in some way because she basically gets teased about it at school from students. That maybe the purpose she is trying to change her name so she won't get judge by anyone. Anyways I like how she explain a let about here name and where it came from I think that it is very useful and in my opinion it shows something about her and who she wants to be. This is what I am talking about when I said she explains lots of thin gas about her self "In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters." she only brings negative things about her in the beginning. That maybe explains something.

     I just finished reading the vignette "No speak English" I didn’t really get what was the symbolic there because it just kept talking about different things. But I remembered in class that we were talking about color was sort of one of the symbolic and she was talking about a lot of pink here is the quote I found "Home is a house in a photograph, a pink house, pink as hollyhocks with lots of startled light." well I think that this is the symbolic because the is talking about the main character in this vignette so that’s one reason I think that this is the symbolic because we talked about this in class.

     Another vignette shows another symbolic I think I know this symbolic. This symbolic is about the windows and about oldness in my opinion because she even states it. She also states things she wants to do before she gets old like go to the bar and dance. I don’t get it why doesn't she want to dance when she old what difference does it make. I like these vignettes because they just pop up great information about the whole book. Anyways I seen a quote that talks about how she talks about windows, that was also another thing we talked about in our group and a whole class. I said that it’s like a trap and it’s like close and doesn't give her air. Basically I think she is talking about how things she wants to do always get rejected meaning the things she wants to do doesn’t happen, and it will get bigger when some of her expectation comes up.

     For this last vignette which is called sally blew me away. It made me feel emotional because she did something wrong to a best friend and now she doesn’t have anyone to be with but herself which is normal in a way but kind of boring. Also it said something about windows I think these 4 vignettes I just read are trying to tell us something. For me its saying always keep your expectations up don’t always feel down always put effort into what I believe in hers a quote that describes that for me " maybe your feet will stop in front of a house, a nice one with flowers and big windows" basically that right there is telling her to live up your expectations be strong and do things that is right for you.

The Color Purple

            Alice Walker’s novel The Color Purple it’s always about religion, gender inequality, and last but not least education. The story centers around two African-American sisters in the early twentieth century, Celie and Nettie. Celie is a woman who has been in a miserable life with her family, like the time her dad just rapes her out of no where because her mother would not do it with her husband. Nettie is the younger one, she’s been a good person she goes to school and learn the right things also she has not been torture yet by anyone because she minds her own business and think about her older sister. Celie always writes to God because she doesn’t have anyone else to help her out. No one is helping her because it was way back in the old days when means were treating women unfairly same with Nettie. Also another main point about this story is, gender and inequality is about staying alive with Celie but with Nettie she fights back and fights for what is right and try to find a way to survive. Finally, education was one of the main ideas which Celie did not get as much as Nettie. The purpose of Celie not having a good education was because she was dominated by her husband who forces her to follow his rules or he will abuse her that’s how she had a bad education she’s been in the house most of the time cleaning. This is base on all the things these two characters been through their whole life.

            In the first part of the novel, Celie’s religious faith is strong, but it grows weaker throughout the story. In other words, the book always talks about religion because of Celie’s letters to God and Nettie. Then Celie starts writing to her sister because she knows that the only person that can keep her alive is herself and her sister. She writes, “Dear, Nettie, I don’t write to God no more. I write to you.”(192) this is the moment when Celie is clearly showing that she stop writing to God and starts writing to Nettie this also the time she ends her faith in God helping her out. On the other hand, Nettie’s faith remains constant throughout the book. Nettie was really religious because she always believes in it throughout her whole life.           

            Another thing about Celie and Nettie gender inequality is that Celie Survives when Avery Shug makes it to her house and always when she was not there. Something about Celie is that she obeys everyone, maybe it’s because she has been abused a lot from her husband because she always talk back to him, that’s what makes him very mad. Also Celie doesn’t ever fight back for what is right she is just doing something right for others and all she get from that is abuse. Nettie is the tough one because she fights back for what’s right unlike her sister because Celie only worries about her survival. Nettie also hates how people treat women because it unfair well she can’t do nothing about because she doesn’t have power during the time, the people that have power is the men.

            Currently, Celie has not experience education like her sister Nettie. Celie use to go to school but she doesn’t anymore because she just had a husband and her husband is really strict and won’t let her go anywhere so that’s when Nettie comes because her father. As Nettie live for a while at Celie house she taught Celie English because no one else would have taught her at all. Nettie is the one who had education mostly everyday but not all the time. She has a better life then Nettie by 100%, and as she got older she had went around some of the world and taught other people, because she cares about everyone and she doesn’t want them to be like her sister. That’s why good things happen to Nettie most of the time because she helps others and teaches them so then they can have a great future like her. Also because of Nettie having a good education she travels around some of the world and she tells everything to Celie she states, “But let me tell you about the ship! The ship, called The Malaga, was three stories high! And we had rooms ( called cabins ) with beds. Oh, Celie, more water than you can imagine in one place” (138) this shows that because of her educations it really helps her a lot and learn other thing and have a good future, that’s how she travels around to other places.

            In conclusion, both characters have been in the craziest situation. They would had never thought they would be in such as the miserable life like torture. This is based upon their life and what help them become successful and become brave and a whole new person and see what life really is. They just worried about survival and just obeying people so that they would not have any problem. They went through life in horrible ways which was tortuous because they never wanted anything else but peace and all they got was abuse. Another thing they wanted was each other all the time but they did not get it because Celie dad let her marry and evil husband that torture Celie and his sons torture her too. That was something very bad that happen to Celie because she got hit in the head by a very big peace of rock. First it was love then torture then back to love and life and now the days have come back all around like they were young again.

Rebutal to aleah

In our rebutal me and Aleah said that facebook is good in so many different way which makes us against people that are haters to facebook. I found some link that people said that facebook is important. heres some:
Why is Facebook Important?
Answers
I am still going to find a lot of links but im just trying to say that the best thing about facebook it keeps you contacted with your friends from other countries or states like if you dont see them every day then theres a good reason you should have a facebook. It even tells you in the begining to connect with friends. People who have true friends then they are the person who should get a facebook. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of people saying that facebook is addicted and that people can't concentrate because they need to be on it instead of doing homework. Facebook is sort of bad and sort of good so then its normal to me because they're is a couple of bad things about it and good. It's hard for me for this topic because i have a lot of bad things to say and a lot of good things. I should of took an easier topic.

I love facebook so much because if your bored you will go there and talk to friends or do something fun. It helps you on many things and it just keeps you entertained most of the time. Facebook help everyone if facebook is bad then why do billions of people have facebook then. This is a true thing if people that hate facebook then why have one. I bet that in our debate there are going to be people saying that facebook is bad and they have one for their selfs i wonder why are they going to complain about it if they have one it doesn't make any sense. I know you try to make a point but if you dont like it don't get on. Facebook keeps you happy of what your friends tell you and family like birthdays it tells you then everyone starts writing happy birthday on your wall. They're is even events to facebook which a lot of A.S.T.I students are doing so they can make a fundraiser for school which is smart because they not just tell A.S.T.I students but everyone and thats a great way to make money and a smart way thats why facebook is the best.
