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: I agree with you that it is hard to tell if the story is real or not. Sometimes the dark make my mind go weird, and I think I hear and see things. When I was little, I was afraid of the dark, but I have gotten over it.
Question #1: I was the most scared of spiders, and insects in generall. I was probably nine or ten when I got over my fear.
Quote #2: I agree with you that different cultures eat different types of foods. I eat a lot of seafood because Chinese cutlure eats food that comes from the sea. And I think that it is cool since we are in such a diverse culture, that we can see other culture's food.
Question #2: The first food that I ate that was a little weird was sushi. The first time I had sushi I threw up, but I think that was because it was homemade. But since then I have had it again, and I liked it.
Quote: wow. Kevin thats a really really sad connection. both your family dying and also that you were afraid of the dark and the slowest runner. I used to be afraid of the dark but I just overcame my fear by being confident that nothing will do anything to me.
I think this quote is similar to the one I picked
Question: from as soon as I started to be scared of make believe things I was afraid of the dark. I ended my fear around five months ago. I have been always afraid of the dark and I always used to sleep with the door cracked and the bathroom light on.
Quote:I like how you connect a lot of things from the book to your grandparents trip because sometimes I wonder if the author is over-exaggerating but I guess the author isn't
Question: It depends what food your talking about. I probably wouldn't eat what the mother prepared in less I was very very hungry. I would also try to never eat it again.
