I am connecting my theme to the book Prisoner B - 3087. My theme “don’t let yourself down” is related to the character in Prisoner B-3087 because Yanek Greuner (main character) is forced into labor camps in Nazi Germany and keeps going till the end. Alonso did the same and kept trying and trying until he was rewarded. In Prisoner B - 3087, Yanek kept telling  himself to keep going. At the end of the story, Yanek was freed from pain and suffering and moved to Munich, Germany. At the end of Broken Chain, Alfonso met someone that didn’t care about his looks and he was content.

“Moons of dirt under his finger nails” hyperbole, personification
“Ow!”  Onomatopoeia
“Everything became tangled like a kite string” Simile

My theme is don’t let yourself down

I believe that my prediction is pretty similar because if you have determination, you won’t let down and won’t give up. I also think that you let yourself down, you won’t have confidence and determination.

Analyze: What was the turning point in the design and structure of braces?
The turning point was when many people had bad experiences and were tired of the pain and money with it. That is when they made Invisalign.

Connection TW: braces from then to invisalign

# data[].attributes.body
Braces in the 1980’s were steel braces and glued to your teeth. They also tightened the braces really tight. It was also very hard to eat food without your mouth hurting. The only lifesaver they had was happy gas. The braces in the 1980’s also left marks on your mind and were a pain to clean. In 2020, scientist and engineers have developed a product called Invisalign. This is a clear piece you put in your mouth and moves your teeth into place. In some cases it is quicker and less painful, it also has no appointments; unless you break or lose them. They are all clear and have to take them off while eating and drinking.

Connection TW: Teenage physcology to Alfonso

# data[].attributes.body
I am connecting Alfonso to teenager phycology. I am connecting him to this because when you are a teenager,  your body goes through many different stages (puberty). Every time Alfonso looks in his mirror, he always tell himself that he is ugly. This is a sign of negative body image.

Analyze: How is the phrase “moons of dirt” similar to “leafed through the magazine”, and how do these phrases influence the the short story?

They are similar because they are both personification and they influenced the short story by describing the story even more and all of the scenes.

I am connecting the band Los Lobos to  the band Chicano Batman. I am connecting them to this band because they are both Latinos and base many of their songs off of Latin music and instruments. An example of this is the song “La Bamba” by Los Lobos. A Latin song from Chicano Batman is called “La Tigresa”.
