I think it is interesting because she was missing a leg, and now she's talking about flying. ]]> 2016-10-25 19:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133147648 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133147658 "Pinto autorretratos porque estoy mucho tiempo sola." I think the quote means that she paints because she is alone a lot of the time, which I think is really sad. I don't think anyone should be alone like that. It teaches me that Frida is a lonely women and never really had anyone on her side to help her out when she really needed the help.]]> 2016-10-25 19:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133147658 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133147742 "Me pinto a mí misma porque estoy a menudo sola y porque soy el tema que mejor conozco" This quote means that Frida does not spend a lot of time with other people so she has no one else to paint but herself. She knows herself best. I think it is interesting because it shows why she painted so many self portraits. I learned from this quote that Frida was always alone and didn't spend much time with other people. I also learned that the reason she painted so many self portraits was because she knew her self best out of anything else that she would have painted. ]]> 2016-10-25 19:12:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133147742 afkrueger17 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133152815 "Ha habido dos grandes accidentes en mi vida. Uno era el tren el otro fue Diego. Diego fue por mucho el peor." This quote is saying that Frida has two big accidents in her life. One was the train accident and the other was Diego. But Diego was by far the worst. I think this quote is interesting because the accident affected so much more than Diego did. The accident kept her from having children. Diego was just a bad husband that cheated on her. I was surprised to see that she thought Diego was a bigger accident than the train. I learned that Frida regrets her relationship with Diego more than anything. He must of really hurt her to say that he was a bigger mistake than the one thing that caused her from having babies. ]]> 2016-10-25 19:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133152815 kjschmitz17 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133154334 "Pinto mi propia realidad. La única cosa que sé consiste en que pinto porque tengo que, y pinto lo que pasa por mi cabeza sin cualquier otra consideración." I think it means that Frida felt like painting was where she could be herself. She could express herself freely through her paintings. I think this is interesting because it shows a lot about what kind of a person Frida was. It is also beautifully said. You learn that Frida does not care what anyone thinks of her. The reason she did the things that she did is because she wanted to be real. She wanted to portray her real thoughts in an artistic way. She always stayed true to herself.

She couldn't stop being sad. Over her injuries, her lost children, and Diego. Her life sucked and she was mad about it. ]]> 2016-10-25 19:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133155097 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133409200 "Quise ahogar mis penas en el licor, pero las condenadas aprendieron a nadar." Frida is referring to the sorrows she has dealt with throughout her life and how she has tried to drown them in alcohol in order to get rid of/kill them. I think this quote is interesting because the book never really talked about her having liquor problems, although it talked about her problem with overdosing.]]> 2016-10-26 17:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133409200 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133414183 "Pinto flores, por lo que no se muera." This quote says that Frida paints flowers so that they won't die. I think that this quote is talking about preserving the beauty or existence of things in art. In art, people can see what happened in the past or how beautiful something was even if it's not that way now. I believe that Frida had that in mind when she said this quote.]]> 2016-10-26 17:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133414183 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133697638  "Pinto autorretratos porque estoy mucho tiempo sola." Frida says "I paint self portraits because I am so often alone." I like this quote because it shows that she is alone a lot but instead of dwelling on it or being sad about it she uses it to make beautiful pieces of artwork. This quote is easy to relate to because I am also alone a lot and I do not mind it. I actually would rather be alone sometimes and it seems as though Frida, somewhat, likes the loneliness. Frida is a strong woman that is able to be successful without the help of others and an example of this is her ability to paint even though she did her painting on her own.]]> 2016-10-27 17:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133697638 atford17 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133766547 2016-10-27 20:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133766547 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133908119 "Doctor si me deja tomar este tequila, yo prometo no beber en mi funeral."
This quote talks about Frida wanting to drink tequila in the hospital and promising she won't at her funeral. I think she wrote it because she wants to drink to take away her pain and loneliness in the hospital. I like it because it's showing us she is like all of us in the fact she wants to be okay. I think it shows us that she has a sense of humor and was it a lot of pain in the hospital.

Frida just wants to escape her problems by flying away from them. Its Interesting because she mentions feet and she had a peg leg. Helps realize what problem Frida faced in her life]]> 2016-10-28 15:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133916105 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133928415 "pies para que los quiero si tengo alas para volar"
Frida's quote says that her feet are there so she may fly as she wants. I think this quote represents how she is free and how she has the power to escape and leave whenever she pleases to. Although she has faced many tragedies she still has the strength to get up and run away to live her own life.]]> 2016-10-28 15:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133928415 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133938651 "Pinto autorretratos porque estoy tan a menudo sola, porque soy la persona que mejor conozco." This quote means that Frida feels very lonely and looks within herself as the only one who truly knows her. This teaches me about how Frida feels.]]> 2016-10-28 16:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133938651 https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133954102 "Pinto autorretratos porque estoy mucho tiempo sola. Me pinto a mí misma, porque soy a quien mejor conozco."
Frida paints self portraits because she spends a lot of time alone. She knows herself better than anyone else. This shows me that Frida is a lone wolf and doesn't always like the company of other people.]]> 2016-10-28 16:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ehuff/FridaQuotes/wish/133954102
