Once Upon A Quinceañera # 3
Quote One: “Time is how you spend your love.” –Julia Alvarez
Page: 101
Significance: I loved how this quote sounded. To me, it means that Hispanics have a big heart. I think that because since a Hispanic thought of it, it must mean they do have a big heart. It sort of answers the question: What was the life/role of the characters in their home country? I think that because they must have sort of acted like that in their old home, so that must have been their job, to sort of think of deep stuff like that.
I chose this quote because I agree with it. That’s how it relates to me. The more time you spend with your love, the more love you get. Also, the more time you take on something, the more meaningful it will be. So, if you take your time on something, someone will really like it and love it.
Question One: Do you agree with the quote? Why or why not?
Quote Two: “How did that happen that they went from not knowing to knowing what to do?” –Julia Alvarez
Significance: This quote I liked. It also sounded interesting. To me, it feels like it’s answering: How do Americans treat the characters? It’s kind of like the opposite. Kind of. The Hispanics are sort of not treating the other Hispanics right, so, the Americans probably won’t treat them good.
I chose this quote because it relates to me in some ways. Sometimes, I don’t know what to do, then like a second later, I know what to do. It happens a lot. I also question when people are like that. When they don’t know what to do, then they do, it confuses me even though it happens to me!
Question Two: Has that ever happened to you? Where you didn’t know what to do, but then you did?

Quote #1: I don't fully agree with why you picked this quote. Just because a Hispanic person thought of it, doesn't mean that all of the Hispanic people are like this. Not everyone has a big heart like Julia. And just because you agree with it, doesn't mean you relate to it.. :\
Question #1: I agree with it. It is basically saying that some people only live for love. And it is their whole life. Same with mine. I love everything I have. Friends, family, and things that I have that others don't.
Quote #2: I don't really get this quote. It confuses me.
Question #2: Yes it has. I have thought that I was in the worst situation ever and thatr I wouldn't know what to do at all, but in the end . . I did.
