The Woman Warrior LC #3

Quote #1: “The danger is not over. The ghost is listening to us right now and tonight it will walk again but stronger. We may not be able to control it if you do not help me finish it off before sundown. This sitting Ghost has many wide black mouths. It is dangerous. It is real. Most ghosts make such brief and gauzy appearances that eyewitnesses doubt their own sightings.” Said the Author, on page 86 & 87 on the bottom of page 86 and on the top of page 87.
Significance: I think that this quote is significance because in any culture in the world any kid is scared in some point of their childhood. Also when you’re really scared of something you start to hearing stuff and imagining things that aren’t really happening but you still see them. I also think that when young you’re really scared of something that scared you the most.
Connection:I have a connection to this quote because when I was 7 – 11 years old I was scare of the dark. I was also scared when my cousins said they saw something and they all run to my room so I had to run too but I was the slowest one so I was really scared when they did that. My biggest thing that I was scare was that in my room my aunt sleeps there one day and the next day she died :(. So my cousins said that they saw her one day so I never sleep in my room ever again. That was my old house in Tijuana.
Question #1: What was the biggest thing that you were scare when you where a young kid? And where was it? How old were you?
Quote #2: “My other has cooked for us raccoons, skunks, hawks, city pigeons, wild ducks, wild geese, black skinned bantams, snakes, garden, snails, turtles, that crawled about the pantry floor and sometimes escaped under refrigerator or stove, catfish, that swam in the bathtub.” Said the Author, on page 106 in the second paragraph
Significance: I think that this quote is significance because in all of the cultures they all eat different form each other. Like for example the Chinese culture they like to eat a lot of animals and they don’t care where they been and where there from. On others cultures they like to eat vegetables and they do care where there food has been and where there food is from.
Connection: I have a connection because when my grandma went to China for the trip. She said that the only food that my grandpa and her eat were the snails, bird, and rats. She said that the worth’s thing that she eat over there was a raccoon because she said that it tasted nasty and its smell so nasty. My family members and I care where our food has been and where it’s from because we can get disease way faster by eating it from the floor or from somewhere else.
Question #2: Would you ever eat one of the foods that they normally eat for the first time if it’s your first time going? And if you go again would you eat the same thing or you would take food from the place that your from?

Quote #1: “Wherever you go, whatever happens to you, people will know our sacrifice,” my mother said. “And you’ll never forget either. She meant that even if I got killed, the people could use my body as a weapon, but we do not like to talk out loud about dying.” Said the mom, on page 41 in the middle of the page.
Significance: I think that this quote is significance because in some cultures they had to sacrifice their life and there’s family’s life because they didn’t wanted them. Also they killed a lot of people in some cultures because they didn’t need them anymore.
Connection: I have a connection to this quote because when my grandma was young like 23 years she when to Asian for a trip with my grandpa. They used to travel a lot when they were young. She told me a non-fiction story that when they went to Asian they saw how they treat it them and she even saw when two parents where sacrifice so that they wouldn’t do anything to their kids. By reading this quote I now know and feel how my grandma and grandpa felt when they saw does two parents being sacrifice for there children’s.
Question #1: How do you think you would feel if you parents were sacrifice so that they would leave you guys alone, and live for your rest of your life by yourself and your siblings?
Quote #2: “When the baby was two months old, we gave him a name and shaved his head. For the full-month ceremony my husband and found two eggs, which we dyed red by boiling them with a flag. I peeled one and rolled it all over the baby’s head, his eyes, his lips, off his bump of a nose, his cheeks, his dear bald head and fontanel.” Said the author, on page 48 in the middle of the page
Significance: I think that this quote is significance because when their baby is two months old they give them a name for most of the cultures and they also shaved they head. The Asian culture is that they shaved their head, dyed two eggs with the colors red and put them in the baby’s head, eyes, lips, nose, and cheeks. I think that every race or ever person have their own culture.
Connection: This quote connects to me because in my culture we give the baby there name after their born and they give them their name after the two months of birth. We also shaved their head because we want that the new baby have their regular hair because when there born we think that they have fake hair so we cut it so that when it grows it’s not fake no more.
Question #2: Would you do all the stuff that their culture does to their baby’s like dyed two eggs with the colors red and put them in the baby’s head, eyes, lips, nose, and cheeks?

Quote #1 “Your father and his brothers and your grandfather and his brothers and your aunt's new husband sailed for America, the Golden Mountain.” Said the mom, on page 3 in the middle of paragraph 2
Significance: I think that this quote is significance because all the people and the whole family are going to America. They referred America as the Golden Mountain. I think that there saying that America is everything they could have in life and the America is the best think in life.
Connection: This quote relates to me because all my family members were immigrated here to the U.S. they all came here to have a better life and a better future. They also think that American is the best state to be in because life is easier here.
Question #1: What do you think it would happened is a whole family try to immigrate to another country and they sold everything to come to the country they wanted. And after a few months they were sent back to their country were they come from and they don’t have anything?
Quote #2 “I remember looking at your aunt one day when she and I were dressing I had not noticed before that she had such a protruding melon of a stomach. But I did not think she’s pregnant until she began to look like other pregnant women her shirt pulling and the white tops of her black pants showing. She could not be pregnant you see because her husband had been gone for years. No one said anything. We did not discuss it. In early summer she was ready to have the child long after time when it could have been possible.” Said by the Author, on Page 3 last paragraph
Significance: This quote is significance because all the ladies would make anything so that no one knows that there pregnant. They will eat anything to look there self more fat and people won’t notice. Some ladies would have a baby with another person that is not there husband because they want to forget him.
Connection: I have a cousin that is 18 and she was pregnant and we didn’t knew after she was about to give birth because we thought that she was getting fatter because she was eating a lot of food. She had a boyfriend and her boyfriend went to Mexico because something was wrong with his family. After a year my cousin gave birth and it wasn’t with his boyfriend it was with another guy that she meet a couple of day after her boyfriend left.
Question #2: What would you think if your cousin had a baby with another guy that is not her boyfriend or husband?

Part 1: From Haven to Home

The purpose of going to the exhibit and why it’s there is because they want us to know what happened in the American History and when it starts it. We were supposed to learn about important events and important date from American History. We also had to learn about Jewish people and what they did in life and in American History. What I found interesting in the exhibit was that everyone in America was Anti-Semitic from Jewish people because they didn’t like them. In 1860 during the Civil War there was a man named Isaac Leeser. Isaac Lesser was a traditionalist Hazzan-Minister editor of America first general Jewish newspaper and he help the Jewish people a lot. I also thought that Isaac Lesser was interesting because he help the Jewish people because he was Jewish too. The American Jewry and the Struggle for Freedom and Security was interesting to me because ever since the Dutch West India Company decreed that the Jews of New Amsterdam provide for themselves. And American Jewry has maintained a traditional of providing charitable support for vulnerable members of the Jewish community. I also thought that The Anti-Semitism and World War was interesting because the setting immigration limits in 1924, congress effectively closed the Golden Door to Eastern European Jewish Immigration. The nation’s tendency toward anti-Foreign, anti- Jewish, and anti- Catholic intolerance in the 1920s was reinforced by the world wide Great Depression of the 1930s. I also thought that The Varieties of American Jewish Belief because the Judaism has taken on great variation in America. Its different denotations or branches range from fervent orthodoxy, which stresses scrupulous observance of tradition to Humanistic Judaism which denies the existence of God and believes that human being control their own destiny.
