He was raped at the age of 8 and was repeatedly raped, it excluded him from his childhood and his manhood and everything. At the age of 11 he suffered from depression and uncontrollable rage , the age of 13 he couldn't stare at himself in the mirror , at the age of 14 he was holding his fathers pistol to his head. Diaz had trouble at school , home, he went through bad and memories. He would get nightmares about getting raped by his father , siblings, teachers , and by strangers and also people he wanted t become friends with. He gave up on school by the time senior year he tried killig himself. Diaz basically didn't care about his life he hated it , he wanted to kill himself because he thought he didn't feel the need to live anymore.]]> 2020-03-30 19:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483088626 https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483171960 I learned that there is multiple differences and similarities in the novel we are currently reading now and in the article about Diaz.
*Both were in th same high school year
*Both were nerdy Dominicans 
*Both were depressed 
*Both had rough childhoods
*Both were overweighted 
* Both tried to commit suicide 

Differences of them both was Diaz was raped a lot , and Oscar knew how to pull girls even they were almost similar.

It's crazy how he left all those things happen to himself for such a long period of time and he went for no help, he lost hope and didn't believe in anything and had no manhood, nothing was meant for him.]]> 2020-03-30 20:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483176550 https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483180069 Yes, because ever since he got to college he has changed a lot as a person he came for and popular and decided to put everything behind him but couldn't put one of the worst things that happened to him behind him. He meant a girl that I thought made him happy and changed but no. Other than that he has changed a lot.]]> 2020-03-30 20:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483180069 https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483182879 His experience reflect on Oscar Wao is somewhat alike because he did go through depression and went through lair in his childhood. So the authors basically was writing about his life in another perspective.]]> 2020-03-30 20:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483182879 leslisseayala https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483223141 From this article I learned that the author had gotten raped at an early age continuously and this had put an impact on his teenage life. He had forever remembered this moment for the rest of his life and because of this moment he had trouble sleeping having vivid dreams about his friends raping him, trying to take his life away and having a hard time staying focused in school and making friends. The time he got raped he will forever remember, he’ll remember how hopeless he felt for so many years and the many times he tried to take his life and fall into depression.]]> 2020-03-30 21:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483223141 leslisseayala https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483242976 I learned from reading this article that Oscar and the author had much in common but also a lot of more differences. Both, had a father who had left. They were both Dominican but Oscar did not look like the typical Dominican the author did, and tries to be a “man” like the typical Dominican and was scared to share his raped story or even talk about it with others. While at first the author had trouble finding a girlfriend just like Oscar the author towards the ends up in many relationships and at one point going from one girl to another without any feelings involved he couldn’t stay in a relationship because he was too much of a player. Just like Oscar the author likes to write, but the author became a success after his first book published book but then like Oscar he came into a dark place that caused him to stop writing. ]]> 2020-03-30 21:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483242976 leslisseayala https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483249835 I feel that you never truly know what a person is going through. This author starts to feel lonely and depressed at such a young age, even at 8 years old when he was an innocent little boy he was going through so much and no one would’ve ever thought that he had just been raped. The author had dealt with so much and just kept his feelings hidden away not telling a single soul about his raped story and not getting any help. ]]> 2020-03-30 21:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483249835 leslisseayala https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483254077 Yes, now that I know this background information about the author whenever I read the things he has published now I understand where he’s coming from. I understand why he would put certain actions within the book because I know his background information about him. ]]> 2020-03-30 21:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483254077 https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483267197 I learned ]]> 2020-03-30 22:04:37 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483267197 leslisseayala https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483267522 The authors experience reflect on Oscar because he somewhat involves some of his life experiences on Oscars character but not all of it. He uses Oscar as like the opposite of his life. Yes they both attend college, both had childhood trauma and a lot of family issues they have a lot of differences like how the author goes in and out of relationships. Oscar is the type of person he could’ve became because although they both have a lot of things in common there’s a lot of differences. Like how towards the end how Oscar dies maybe the author used Oscar as how his life could’ve turned out.
(Idk I have to keep reading the book more to answer this question in more detail)]]> 2020-03-30 22:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483267522 joannatorres https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483287030 After reading the article, I learned the reason Junot Diaz would mention about sexual abuse because he went through that himself. And it happened at a young by someone he trusted. He suffered trauma because of what he went through. It took him away from living his normal life. He couldn't speak up about the rape and became depressed. He had trouble at home and school. His family started seeing him as a crazy person. He tried to take his own life. ]]> 2020-03-30 22:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483287030 joannatorres https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483296488 Junot and Oscar are both similar and different. They both didn't have an easy childhood. They loved to write and both attended Rutgers. Both of their families didn't see the signs of depression. They both tried to commit suicide but Junot used a pistol and Oscar falling from the bridge. Junot found himself again. ]]> 2020-03-30 22:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483296488 joannatorres https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483309531 I believed that no one especially at the age of eight years old should be going through this. They should be living their childhood not be put in tunnel where there is no light.  He was ashamed about his rape. He didn't tell anyone. Keeping it to yourself is never the right choice but in his mind he believed it was.  ]]> 2020-03-30 22:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483309531 joannatorres https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483314756 Yes, I get a more understanding because after his world turned for the worse, he still overcame everything. I get where some parts are coming from now after reading the article. ]]> 2020-03-30 23:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483314756 joannatorres https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483318217 Diaz experience reflects in his novel because the book does give details about what he went through like depression and just not being happy with his identity. For example, they both believed they weren't a true dominican. Junot was afraid of being found out. In his words, "Real Dominican men aren't raped."  Oscar just didn't see it because he was overweight and a nerd.  ]]> 2020-03-30 23:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483318217 angietresierra https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483337597 Junot Diaz had been through hell and back. The trauma he had when he was 8 years old, caused him to feel less of a man, depressed, angry, which led him to try to commit suicide by the age of 14 then tried again when he was a senior in high school then again when he was older. It is wrong for him to feel like he could not tell anyone because he is a man and Dominican. Diaz should have gotten the help he needed, being 8 years old and was raped. Just because a male got raped doesn’t make him less of anything. When he went to Rutgers, he started fresh again, but it did not last long. Diaz put a mask on to cover his past. When Diaz got older, he got the help he needed, he put the mask aside and got better over the years. ]]> 2020-03-30 23:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483337597 aaliyahtupete https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483339831 2020-03-30 23:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483339831 angietresierra https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483362447 I feel like a way Diaz had to escape the world or the bad thing that happened to him, like how people ignore problems and other things by listening to music or drawing, he would write. So writing was his salvation. Diaz wrote books using his own problems that happened to him to show people that, that is how life works and it can happen to anyone, but people can overcome it. There are similarities between the novel and Junot Diaz like:

• Sexual assault was involved (Lola)
• Both take place in a Dominican household
• Depression that later on led to trying to commit suicide (Oscar)
• Got help after certain things happened (Oscar)

Diaz didn't deal with his emotions causing his emotions kind of have this snow ball effect. He related his life to a lot of this into his book and you can see parts of him in it through the characters.

It is wrong for someone to do that to a poor innocent boy like Diaz. Diaz should not feel shame about what had happened to him. Just because he is a male and Dominican does not make him look less of a man. Just because he is a man it does not mean he won’t get raped. He should feel like he would be safe with his parents and tell his parents everything. Society says that men should not snitch and keep it to themselves, so Diaz did that, which is not okay because he is a young boy and should feel safe.]]> 2020-03-31 00:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483381115 aaliyahtupete https://padlet.com/vicky_tsotas/2unnieanjyl9/wish/483381255 My perspective hasn't really changed about the novel i just feel as though i understand it more now because of his past.

- How Junot had to keep his rape to himself and not talk about it connects to how Lola had gotten raped and had to stay silent.

I say this because in a way novels are a form of art and the only way this novel would have been created was if Junot Diaz went through all these different situations.
