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: I don't understand what the advantages are, but I think that they are just having a free life in America. I don't think that they have a greater advantage than other US citizens. I do think that they have a greater advantage than those living in their home country.
Question #1: I have not had anybody act as if they were the same as me. I don't know many people my age that have immigrated here.
Quote #2: I think that it is respect to send money to your family in your home country. If I had family in another country, then I would send them money if they needed it. I think it's cool that your family give to your extended family because they need the money to live and be comfortable.
Question #2: I haven't really had to help my family pay for something because I never keep money on me. Like the only thing that I have helped pay for my family was a pizza because by parents didn't have cash at the time.
Response: I don't really understand what your are trying to get at with the first quote but I think that you mean that there are people who think that they are superior to someone else when they don't have a history in America.
Question: I have never had someone think that they are superior because they come from somewhere else. I have had people who think that they are smarter because they are from a educationally focused country.
Response: I think that this is a connection quote. Money makes the world go round and when you don't have any people, a lot of the time, start to feel bad for you and donate money to you.
Question: In my family some of the people on both sides of the family don't have any money. We care about these people so we give them money. In some family's they ask to give it back but in others its just a kind favor. Our family has never been in the position when we needed money from our family. We are usually the ones to give money to our family members.
