Once Upon A Quinceañera #4
Quote 1: “Do your kids realize how hard you struggled to get here?” –Pepe
Page: 135
Significance: This quote has to do with the question: What was the journey like coming to America? Pepe is basically asking if the children know the struggle to come to America. I think it’s a good question to ask that everyone should know the answer to.
Character Judgment: I think it was good of Pepe to ask this question. Everyone should know what struggle people have been through to get to the US. People should know that they are lucky to live here.
Question 1: How do you feel about living in the US?
Quote: “Are quinceañeras on a culturally endangered list?” –Julia Alvarez
Page: 147
Significance: I think this quote has to do with the question: How do the characters maintain their cultural ties to their homeland while living in America? It’s sort of saying that they can’t really maintain their cultural ties when they are in America considering they won’t happen anymore.
Character Judgment: I think it was right to her to think that. If no one was having them anymore, then yeah it’s good to prepare for so that way they know what to do in the future. It would be sad if they were gone forever because it’s a Mexican tradition that should be kept.
Question 2: What would you do if one of your traditions was gone forever?

Quote 1: I agree with you, that quote basically goes along with that question. I also agree when you said "I think it’s a good question to ask that everyone should know the answer to."
Answer 1: I feel really good about living in the U.S. I don't think that there would be a better place to live than the U.S. because over here you get alot of rights and its really civalized.
Quote 2: I agree with you that this quote has to do with the question "How do the characters maintain their cultural ties to their homeland while living in America?" because it does say that they can't really keep up with it. I agree that it would be sad if the tradition wasn't kept.
Answer 2: I would try to start the tradition over again. I would do that because all traditions should be kept, thats why they call them traditions because they're supposed to happen over and over again.
