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?

Quote: I guess this is just a quote that resembles common sense amongst all human beings. I believe that most people and cultures don't believe that children(0-17) cant take care of themselves because most parents love their children and they don't want them to do something stupid because they care about them.
Question: I am not the youngest child so this question does not apply. Ill change it and ask myself If I have been treated because I'm the oldest. Well I have kind of been left in charge of the kids. Im supposed to be the one who shuts up my brother and sister when my parents are working and my siblings are being loud.
Quote: A lot of immigrants are very worried that America will be completely different from where they are from weather its language, music or looks. It takes a lot of courage to come to America and I bet seeing photos of America was relief for them. Also that they spoke the same language.
Question: I do not understand.
Quote #1: I agree with you that many people under estimate the younger generation. They think that kids can't take care of themselves, when they actually can.
Question #1: I haven't really been treated differently because I am one of the youngest. My sister is the youngest of the family, and I think that she gets treated a bit differently such as getting more gifts for her birthday and holidays.
Quote #2: I think that it is a little interesting that people think that America is going to look and be the same as their home country. It seems obvious that America is different from most countries, but then again people often have high expectations.
Question #2: I don't think that my mom thought that America would be the same as China when she immigrated. This is partly because she was only three when she immigrated, so she didn't quite know everything that was going on.
