Quote #1: “The immigrants could be saying that they were born on the Gold Mountain and have advantages. Sometimes they scorn us for having had it so easy, and sometimes they’re delighted.” I can’t tell how said this but it was on page 238 on paragraph 4.
Significance: I think that this quote is significance because everyone that lives in the Gold Mountain or the United State thinks that they have a lot of advantages even more than the person that are from the Gold Mountain. I also think that they think that there more than the people that are from the United States because their treated the same way as us.
Connection: I have a connection because when I was a younger kid. When I was in elementary school there was a kid that he was an immigrant and he thought that he was more than me because he was treated the same way as me and as my classmates. Set’s I was born in the United States I think that he thought that he was a better person then me.
Question #1: Have you had a person that he thought that he was just like you but he was an immigrant?


Quote #2: “Every woman in the tomato row is sending money home,” my mother says, “to Chinese villages and Mexican villages and Filipinos villages and, now, Vietnamese villages where they speak Chinese too. The woman come to work whether sick or well. I can’t die they say I’m supporting fifty or I’m supporting a hundred. I can’t really tell how said this because it’s confusing for me. On page 239 on paragraph 3.
Significance: I think that this quote is significance because everyone sent money to their families members when their family’s members are very far. They have to do this because sometimes their family’s members don’t have money to pay where they leave and where they are. They sometime do this because they can’t afford something so some of their family’s members need to help them.
Connection: I have a connection to this quote because sometimes my family sent money to our family’s members. Sometime they have to pay some bills and they don’t have money we have to send them some money. I sometimes have to give them some money instead of them giving me money I’m giving them money because they have a lot of bills to pay and they need help to pay them.
Question #2: Have you ever had to help your family by giving them money so that they could pay something?

Quote #1: "The children’s hung blankets over the cracks in the doorjambs; they stuffed clothes along the bottoms of the doors. “Chinese people are very weird,” they told one another." I can’t really tell who said it. At the middle of the page on page 183
Significance: I think that this quote is very significance because I know that in China they have to do this because there house are very old and very cheap. So they have to do this because they want to have their house very clean. They want to have it really nice so that when people come to visit their house they said that it looks very nice and that they like it.
Connection: I have a connection to this quote and my connection is that when my grandma and my grandpa went to that trip they told me that they had to do kind of the same so that when people come to visit their house they would say that they like it and that I look so nice. They didn’t had a house over there they have to rent so apartments but they have to do the same thing because they had friends over there.
Question #1: Have you ever got to do this to your house? And if you haven’t how would you feel if you had to do it?


Quote #2: “When my second grade class did a play, the whole class went to the auditorium except the Chinese girls. The teacher, Lovely and the Hawiian, should have understood about us, but instead left us behind in the classroom. Our voices were too soft or nonexistent, and our parents never signed anything unnecessary. We opened the door a crack and peeked out, but close it again quickly. One of us (not me) won every spelling bee, though.” Said the author on page 194 on the 2nd paragraph.
Significance: I think that this quote if significance because I a lot of girls in Asia where treated like this. I also think that this quote is significance because there are some girls now in live treated like this and they judge them by their raise and not by the way they are. I think that this thing should disappear because you can’t judge someone by their raise but you have to judge them how they are because that’s the thing that counts.
Connection: I have a connection to this quote because when I came to the U.S they didn’t treated me how I was they treated me by my rise for example they thought I was stupid because I’m Mexican. I really know how it feels when someone treats you by your raise and it feels really bad. I didn’t like it when they treated me by my raise and imaged does girl being treated by their rise for their rest of their life.
Question #2: Have you ever treated different because of your raise? And if you haven’t how would you feel if you were treated different because of your raise?

Quote #1: “Yes, I can imagine them doing that. But don’t worry. Your son can take care of himself. All your children can take care of themselves.” I can’t tell if who said this because it doesn’t say and it doesn’t look like if the author said it. On page 133 on paragraph 2.
Significance: I think that this quote is significance because in any culture or religion they think that there young children could not take care of them self even if there like 17. They think that they can’t take care of them self because they think that there still young.
Connection: I have a connection to this quote because my mom thinks that I and my little sister can’t take care of each other because we are the younger ones in the family. I think that is time to let the younger ones to take care of them self.
Question #1: Have you never being treated different on your family because you’re the youngest one?

Quote #2: In front of one of the benevolent associations, a literate man was chanting the Gold Mountain News, which was taped to the window. The listening crowd looked at the pictures and said, “Aiaa.” “So this is the United States,” Moon Orchid said. “It certainly looks different from China. I’m glad to see the Americans talk like us.” Said by Moon Orchid on page 157 on paragraph 2.
Significance: I think that this quote is significance because they thought that us the Americans weren’t going to talk there language because where from far away from their land and we speak the same language. They also thought that China was going to look just like China.
Connection: I have a connection to this quote because when my family’s members came to the United States they thought that Mexico was going to look just like Mexico but it doesn’t look anything like Mexico. They also saw that most of the people in the United States talk English and Spanish so it was easy to communicate with the people that speak Spanish easily than the people that speak English.
Question #2: Have you ever thought that the states where someone of your family that was an immigrated to the United States was going to be just like their old country?
