Antonio also wanted God to answer all his questions, but he did not feel God within, he felt no answer. Antonio was not satisfied because the God he sought for within his church's religion was not there; he was in hopes of gaining understanding. Antonio also wants to learn more about himself, he states there are many dreams to be fulfilled.The main theme present in today's reading was religion.]]> 2021-05-14 16:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525362353 avance1996 https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525362449 In today's reading the kids ask Antonio to pretend to be a priest, and practice their confession. Today's reading took place in the church, and the kids start confessing their sins. The kids seem to want to confess the worse sin, and they want to get a higher punishment. The theme seems to be one's beliefs and religion. The beliefs of the kids seem to be the worse the sin the worse or the more the punishment should be. ]]> 2021-05-14 16:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525362449 avance1756 https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525362954 Durning todays independent reading I summarized a few chapters and read about how Antonio hopes to see the golden carp because he is obsessed with communicating with the catholic god. I also learned that Cico believes in many gods and thinks that the god of the Catholic Church is jealous and can't live in peace with the other gods. As they arrive to the creek they see the golden carp arrive causing Antonio to show admirebility to what he is seeing. When they arrive to the Blue Lake they hear shouting. Abel is sent to go get a life guard and then Florence opens his eyes as he is being pulled by the water. Antonio sits beside him and begins to pray but he knows it's useless because Florence does not believe in god. In summation, those are a few things that I read. I realized that many of Antonios friends have trouble believing in god. ]]> 2021-05-14 16:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525362954 avance1765 https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525365278 In today's reading, I did not get very far in. Today's reading took place on Easter and how Christ went through hell and was seen as glorious. The main theme's in today's reading include religion because of hell works etc. I think it is an interesting way to start a chapter with such intense religious stuff. I cannot wait to continue reading Chapter 19. ]]> 2021-05-14 16:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525365278 avance1616 https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525366050 In today's reading, it took place on how Antonio is excited to go back home after being with his Luna uncles the whole summer. It took place back on the farm but as well as going back home. On his way back home tragic happens with Terrio who still seeks revenge. The theme of today's reading was revenge due to what Terrio had in mind. ]]> 2021-05-14 16:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525366050 avance1741 https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525367349 Antonio ]]> 2021-05-14 16:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525367349 avance1624 https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525380774 Today's reading I finished Chapter 18 and barely started on 19. The setting takes place at the Mass and Antonio is excited about his first communion.The characters consist of Antonio and his "friends". So far, the chapter started in a happy and calming mood. I find it ironic how he is excited for something he questions so often. ]]> 2021-05-14 16:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525380774 avance1994 https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525395345 It was Easter Sunday and the kids were talking about hell since they said Florence was going to hell for not having a penance or believing in god. Easter Sunday was when Jesus returned and was able to judge people. They were farthest at church to celebrate by getting the body of Christ. Tony felt guilty because he knew he’d be reciving the body of Christ and all his mind could think of was sins so he was trying to cleans himself.]]> 2021-05-14 16:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525395345 avance1740 https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525495065 In today's reading Antonio and his friends were in the Stations of the cross. The main theme of today's included religion. Antonio's friends were making fun and saying inappropriate things during the Stations. He showed discomfort about the way the kids talked about the Virgin or about other events and people, clearly being uninterested in the meaning of the event and disrespectful to the others that believed/wanted to learn. In some form way, Antonio is very different from his friendships as he takes things more seriously.]]> 2021-05-14 17:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/manuel_gallardo1/4kovtyp1puduuxlg/wish/1525495065
