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 183Significance: 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: I think that they hung the blankets over the door jams because they didn't want any light to be seen coming out of the door. They didn't want the light because the crazy Aunt would scold them because she thought Mexicans were out to kill her. I like how you connected to how your grandparents have to set up their house so that it looks nice.
Question #1: I haven't had to do to this to my house, but if I did, I would think it would be pretty cool because it would be like we're hiding in secret.
Quote #2: I agree with you that the girls should be treated equally, but they are not, and only valued by how much they make. The reason that they girls weren't in the play was because they were too quiet, so it wasn't to much of discrimination.
Question #2: I have been treated differently because of my race. Everyone expects a lot of me because I am Chinese. It isn't a bad type of comments, but it is still discrimination.
Quote: Actually in a lot of places they do this. Its just another way of not letting cold air get in a house. Its not really a big deal. Its not like the houses in China are cheap its just that its cold.
Question: I have had to do this once because there was a little opening at the bottom of a door in mammoth. I didn't really feel different. Its not like something that poor people have to do or anything. Usually people don't judge some ones house by the temperature but thats fine.
Quote: This is a intense quote. I don't know why they kept them into the room and I don't know why they separated the asian girl.
Question: I haven't been treated differently because of my rase but because of my religion. I have been excluded from a game because of my religion. These are what I call "fighting situations" they are things that people can say to you to make you angry and make you want to fight. This kind of thing is very agrivating.
