Buddy and Nora go on a drive together but shortly into their ride buddy loses control on the car and they end up in a ditch. The two end up getting close which causes Nora to feel really guilty with herself. I can relate to Nora here because I have done things that I enjoy doing in the present time but later on I don't know what to do with myself and I end up feeling bad about it. Just like here. Nora feels guilty for liking buddy when she knows that she would hurt the feelings of others around her.

The author has one main narrator(Nora) but occasionally there is a 3rd point of view. Sometimes we get to read whats in others diaries and that would be a chapter. Or we read others peoples POV in the real time of the book.

In the story we here from multiple different perspectives on all of the girls parents having uncomfortable and upsetting relationships. We hear this from Cheryl Bobbie-Jo, and Nora. Cheryl's dad used to hit her, Nora's parents are unhappy, and Bobbi-Jo is aware of this. I cant relate to Cheryl and Bobbi-Jo here because my parents don't have bad relationships and it isn't a struggle for me thankfully. This plays a big role in the characters files as well as mine.

In the story Nora becomes depressed because she feels alone and separated. She struggles to seek help from others even when she goes to a doctor. I can relate to Nora in this part in the story because I have felt so upset that its hard to eat, sleep, and communicate with people.

How I felt reading today: I felt focused and I was more interested in my book. I'm starting to unwrap more of the story because I'm reading the book from multiple perspectives.

I'm sure most of us have been in a situation where something has happened in the past that makes us doubtful in what we believe. This is exactly what is happening to Nora. I can empathize with her strongly based off of her situation. She doesn't believe in god anymore because of her friends deaths but wont admit it for her mothers sake.

The main thing that attracted me to this book was the title. I understand that we aren't supposed to choose something based off of its appearance, but this logic works the exact opposite for me. "Mister Deaths Blue Eyed Girls" intrigued me because I love a good mystery book and this was right up my lane. I have enjoyed the book so far and its very interesting.

Since everybody has left her Nora has serious doubts about god. Because her mother is catholic this is a very big deal for her. After a session with the priest, she runs into buddy (this time in his POV). They both have a chat about Cheryl which makes Nora very nervous. Nora has become doubtful, upset and introverted towards the people around her.

# data[].attributes.body
Nora is the main narrator throughout the story, there is little snippets of an outside charterers perspective. Nora is a nice catholic girl who struggles with her beliefs, is honest, and tries to remain pure. She is not reliable because whenever we read her narrating, we only read what she knows and how she feels, not how everyone else does. I don't feel a strong connection with Nora but I do enjoy reading about her.

In the story Nora had a perfectly normal life until a large event happened, which would change her life forever. I've never had a similar experience to her, but I have had something happen to me where everything changes. I think differently, I acted strange, and I had different feelings about things.

I've wanted to move to he city ever since my first time going there (and remembering). It meant something special to me.

Because the dialogue was longer, No quotation marks makes the piece flow better, and it makes it easier to read. This also helps readers develop their own meaning to what they think is dialogue and whats happening throughout the story.

At first Esperanza really liked Lucy and Rachel, she enjoyed being around them. Mostly because she felt like she could relate to them, and they understood her. But now she thinks differently because she doesn't like their sense of humor and they insulted her, and her family.

# data[].attributes.body
When they talk about the meaning of clouds, Esperanza tries to explain what she thinks, but Lucy starts to mock her which shows the lack of acceptance and appreciation she has for Esperanza feelings here.

"I'm saying your mamas ugly like... um mm...like bare feet in September!"

"Oh we're only playing"

The name calling was meant to be a joke but it ended up becoming really serious and a fight broke out. Now none of them are friends. it really hurt Esperanza feelings and I don't think she feels as close with Nenny.

"you better not be saying that, Lucy Guerrero."

"the dog is big like a man dressed in a dog suit, and runs the same way its owner does, clumsy, and wild and with the limbs flopping all over the place like united shoes." (Mango street, p, 21)

# data[].attributes.body
The author uses simile twice in this sentence. And in each time, shes using it to represent the dog and the owner as something their not, but alike in different ways.
its effective because it helps the reader understand more about what the authors trying to tell you, what the dog is like, and how it adds to Meme.

"The snoring, the rain, and Mama's hair that smells like bread." (Mango Street, p. 5)

# data[].attributes.body
This sentence has a simile in it because it is using comparison words such as, like or as. We know this because when she describes her mothers hair she says, "..hair that smells like bread"
This can be effective in many ways, mostly to  add a depth and description to her mothers hair, words that can describe a sense of home or warmth. So the reader can really understand where the author is coming from.

Denotation- a silvery-white metal
Connotation-  Something that takes time and effort to say, it could be something uncomfortable.
The words that Esperanza used make this sentence seem uncomfortable, angry, and upset.
The author could have used it to exaggerate how horrible she thinks her name is. We understand why Esperanza might not like her name. If the author had used a different word, we might have not know what she really thinks.

When Esperanza talked about her hair, the way she looked and as I said name, she never mentioned it in a positive way. I understand ho it feels to think down on yourself and to not be happy with your body and I know how she feels.

Esperanza talked about her big/long family line and how it relates and her sisters name. But she also mentioned that she didn't really like her name as much. My family's big, and with that my parents decided to my middle name would be my aunts name. But my grandma chose my first name which is Gabi. For my first few years of my life I hated my name, but now I feel guilty for ever thinking that. I hope throughout my life I can carry out my name to remember my grandma

When Esperanza started talking about her home and how she was embarrassed of it, she wished it was bigger, she hated its features, I could relate to that moment. When I was little I used to hate how small my house was, how outdated it looks, and that it was always dirty. I can assume she felt mad at her parents,embarrassed, and sad because her big family doesn't make much money. So when this part of the story came up, I understood how Esperanza might have felt.

When this occurred we can see more of Daisy's vulnerable side. Throughout the book, we don't get to see much of her feelings, more of how she acts on the outside. this proves that Daisy wasn't just tough the whole time, she is also emotional. This can lead to something bad in the future and Gatsby.

Jay was sad because he found out that when he was in war, Daisy not only loved him, but she also loved tom. He feels as though he should have known this therefore, leaving him to feel betrayed. Although I can understand what its like to be let down by someone, or betrayed, I cant exactly elate to jay. I have never been in love with someone, I have loved people, but because of this I have never experienced true heart break. And that is what I think jay is going through.

I love that this book has excruciating detail. This gives anyone whose reading this a big idea of what is really happening in the book. I think the story plot of this book is great. The characters are also amazing, I know pretty much everyone's background life (except Nick). The one thing that bothers me is that it takes a while to build up to the climax. Other wise, I would recommend this book to any adult or teenager who loves this genre and someone who likes older made books. I don't know if the story is appropriate for children but if its okay, I would just make sure a child could be interested for a long amount of time.

Tom is getting in an argument with Gatsby because Tom doesn't know about his wife's affair with Jay. Jay is getting aggravated with Tom because he keeps on talking about him and his wife's future. This leads Gatsby to tell Tom about their whole affair and how Daisy never really loved tom, but she loved him instead. they couldn't marry though because Jay was too poor. - I could not ever relate to this point in time. I don't know how Tom felt or daisy/jay. I have never been in their situation so I cant completely feel empathy for them, on sympathy. I do understand how Daisy/Jay might feel about their relationship. They have loved each other for 5 years. Now that they are reunited, daisy falls back in love and they both decide it would be best if they kept their relationship in secret. I can understand that because I have been in similar situations. Not only do I experience sympathy, but empathy as well.

I think the author did a fabulous job with the dislodge and the description. He made the book so defining, upset, and vulgar with happiness as well. He uses such descriptive words that you can imagine just what the author was thinking. The fact that he spent years on this book tells you how intelligent he must have been to write such a fascinating book. I really think this is one of the most brilliant books ever to be written and I don't think there could be anything I could do to change it.

In this book I think the topic that troubles me the most is depression. I have had depression believe it or not. But I always thought everyone had it a similar way. Jay obviously had (or has) it harder. I don't understand how someone so fortunate in life could be so sad which confuses me. I am learning throughout the book why.

" This is a terrible mistake.." "..a terrible terrible mistake".
Jay said
" You're acting like a little boy.." "not only that but you're rude. Daisy's sitting there all alone"

I can relate to this part a lot. A feeling of embarrassment or nervousness. Jay was afraid to talk to Daisy because he had a liking for her and Nick called him out. I have felt this way in my life when I try to talk to someone I like, when I get in trouble, when I say something too loud and etc.

Throughout the story, we discover more about jay and who he is. Jay is a depressed man who hides it up with his wealth and popularity. His family has died for his money and when he was young, he lost most of it. When he meets daisy, he has a bit of interest in her and I think he has a crush. But nick, we don't learn much about him. I do know that the book is from his perspective on other peoples lives though. We just know that Nick is new to this area and hes observing. He has become close to jay and learns more about him and the characters around him.

In this story we only get a perspective from one person which means that our narrator is unreliable. We only know people emotions and feelings from the outside which means we don't really know how everyone thinks. Most of these scenes are windows. This is because this story is mostly adults and its places in a different time. I haven't gone through what these characters have. but I can relate to similar situations which could be a mirror.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the main conflicts in this part of the story is that jay Gatsby lives really hard life, with all of these rumors about him and it makes him go crazy. when he was deported for war he was going through a tough time and it still is tough for him today. This makes Nick question himself and Gatsby.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Jay Gatsby and Daisy will encounter a friend ship or relationship because of how close they have been lately, I suppose that nick will also become closer to Gatsby and find out more about him because they are becoming closer. Also, I think one of the background characters will harm themselves. This is because we know most of the people living in the rich (in this book) are suicidal and they don't enjoy their lives.
