once Upon a Quinceañera (Post Six)




Once Upon a Quinceañera #6

Quote One: "Isabella, dispensing advice from her Web site, bellaquinceañera.com, and committed to making each girl feel like the queen of her life....." -Julia Alvarez page 223

Significance: I think this has to do with what hardships do the characters endure as they make a new life? Isabella is busting her but for all the quinceañera girls. She has many hardships to face, it will be hard to make EVERY girl feel like a queen. She has a lot of work to do.

Character Judgement: I think Isabella shouldn't have committed to make EVERY girl feel like a queen. It's going to be very hard. I mean, well, if she likes to make girls feel like a queen....then I guess it's good of Isabella to do that. But I think it's a little crazy. Who would want to do that? I'd die! I bet all those girls will be very mean and spoiled.

Question One: Would you be that committed to making sure all the girls are queens? Why or why not?

Quote Two: "La abuelita is not always a resource." -Will Cain page 260

Significance: I think this has to do with what was the life/role of the characters in their home country? The quote is basically saying that the grandma isn't always a resource to help. So, it has to do with that question because, the grandma will always be a resource, no matter where she goes. Also, a grandma could have been like that in their home country.

Character Judgement: I sorta agree with Will Cain. I mean, yeah, the grandma isn't always there to help, but she usually is. She is alive in your heart, so she can help you where ever you go. You might not even know it!

Question Two: Do you ask you use your grandma as a "resource?" Why or why not?

Quote #1: I agree with you because this quote does have to do with the question "what hardships do the characters endure as they make a new life?". It has to do with this question because Isabella does have to do alot of things to try to make almost every girl feel like a queen.
Answer #1: I would do my best to try to make every girl feel like a queen. But, I think that it'll be really hard to.
Quote #2: I agree with you. This quote does have to do with that question. I agree with Will Cain too.
Answer #2: I sometimes use my grandma as a rescorce but not all the time. I don't really use her as a rescorce because I don't really talk to her that much.
