Quote 1- "So I had turned into a girl who would call the police on her parents, ay Dios santos! What a monster they had raised!" Paragraph 3~ Page 193
Significance- I think this quote has to do with the question, "What challenges do the characters face upon their arrival?" I think this has to do with it because it is showing how the girl is acting because of something so little and that she would call the cops on her own parents. I also think since ay Dios santos, she is talking about God and it shows how she feels.
Personal Connection- I personally connect to this because as a kid there's many times you get mad at your parents. Also if your a different ethnicity you may use that type of culture to say something about the situation or handle it differently because of that. This connects to the real world.
Question 1- If she knows she's a "monster" then why do you think she "called the police"?
Quote 2- "Women's Way" Title~ Page 217
Significance- I think this quote best related to the question, "What was the life/role of the characters in their home country?" I think this quote has to do to with this question because it is saying how the woman is kind of taking charge, or that they're using her way. I think this has to do with their life in the Dominican Republic because the women usually stay home and do all the things around the house so it reminds me of women from their culture.
Personal Connection- I personally connect to this because even though it's just a title and two very short words, it means a lot and says a lot about their culture and different ways. Here in America the men still usually do most of the family money and things and the wife takes care of things around the house but there are way more women that have jobs here and can be much freeer.
Question 2- What kind of "way" do you think they mwan when they says "women's way"?

quote#1: I agree with your quote and your thought. Alot of people are raised in different ways. Some family are close in relationship and some are not close at all.
Question#1: I think the girl are having hard time with her family, maybe that why she calls herself monster and she would call on the cop on her parents, maybe they did something bad.
Quote#2:I agree with your thought about the quote even its a short sentense, it can mean alot of things.
Question#2: What I think that men would say about women's way, that most men think they are better than women. But in America the women have the same right as the men. So I don't think they would critize as much you think they would. Also it's depend on what country, will critize about the women's way. ~BIA~
Quote 1~ I personally think that a lot of the girls that receive theses big fiestas are a little bit spoiled. They don't always appreciate all their parents do for them.
Question 1~ As she is reflecting on her past, the girl is realizing her family problems and the wrong way she had handled them. She still blames the parents for raising her that way.
Quote 2~ Your second quote is short and simple, I like it. It is a very ambiguous statement. It is very true that quinces relate mostly to women, and they have their own way of doing things.
Question 2~ In general, I think it is referring to the way a woman would handle any given situation as opposed to a man's view and approach.
