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: I agree with you that in a lot of cultures, sacrifice is a big part. I think that her parents made her be a sacrifice because they were mad or upset at here for not being there for the past 15 years. So this is the punishment that they are giving her.
Question #1: I would be a little scared if my parents made me into a sacrifice, because then I wouldn't know what would happen, and I would have to take care of myself. I think that I would also dislike my parents, because it's as if they are betraying me.
Quote #2: I agree with you that almost all culture have their own special ceremony for a new born baby. Chinese culture for a new baby is really different than from what we are used to, so it makes me curious why they did all the stuff with the eggs, and what it the significance.
Question #2: It depends what culture I am representing. If it was a regular thing in my culture to do the egg thing, than I would. But if it is a completely bizarre thing to do, then I wouldn't.
Kevin, great quote and a great connection.
Quote: I thought that you had a good connection. That is really cool how you related that to something your grandparents saw. You should tell me about that later. I actually didn't know that the Chinese culture would do that to people.
Question: If my parents got sacrificed I would be very depressed because as a young adult you need guidance to be successful later on in life. Kids should always be guided by parents through their life.
Quote: This was a great example of the culture being revealed in the book. Every person has their own culture and style of doing things.
Connection: Nice connection. A new born baby in a culture is a big deal because many things must be done with it. In my culture the baby is circumcised and than named at a gathering.
Question: I really don't think that I would ever abide by there ritual because it sounds weird to me but our rituals probably seem weird to them
