"There is no rose without thorns" (Pg.14)

2025-03-19 16:05:05 UTC

This demonstrates Romanticism because roses are beautiful but they hurt

"Abuelita nodded and said thoughtfully, No hay rosa sin espinas. There is no rose without no thorns." (Pg 14.)

2025-03-19 16:06:13 UTC

This demonstrates Romanticism because it shows how beauty is mixed with pain.

''No hay rosa sin espinas. There is no rose without a thorn'' page 14

2025-03-19 16:06:31 UTC

It shows that even something beautiful as a rose can still be painfull

"There is no rose without horns"(pg.14)

2025-03-19 16:06:35 UTC

This quote shows nature as truth. It shows this because roses are beautiful put they can be painful to.

"Tomorrow, bouquets of roses and baskets of grapes on every table" (pg 8)

2025-03-19 16:06:43 UTC

It fits under this catogory because, it says this about nature and beauty

"She bent over to pick a red bloom, fully opened, and pricked her finger on a vicious thorn.

2025-03-19 16:06:58 UTC

I chose this quote because the rose is beautiful but it is also dangerous.

" an angry thorn stabbed me said, Esperanza." pg 10

2025-03-19 16:07:10 UTC

this is showing feelings because she got hurt and reacted to it and her feeling are not good because she got hurt

"an angry thorn stabbed me" page 10

2025-03-19 16:08:12 UTC

this demonstrates that beauty can still hurt.

"Big pearls of blood pulsed from the tip of her thumb and she automatically thought, "bad luck" (page 8)

2025-03-19 16:09:14 UTC

The rose was the pleasure part since it was beautiful and the pain from the rose was the "pain" of "Nature as Truth"

"Bad luck", " said Mama confirming the superstition." (Pg.10)

2025-03-19 16:09:56 UTC

This shows Romaticism because it is a superstition

''The wealthy owned most of the land where some of the poor have not even a garden plot.'' (pg. 12)

2025-03-19 16:11:03 UTC

When I read that quote I saw that the wealthy get a lot of land with pleasure, while the rest only get a small bit not even a garden plot and have pain.

"There is no rose without thorns." (pg 14

2025-03-19 16:12:14 UTC

This demonstrates romanticism because life does not come without challenges. Something good will always come with a downside.

"Big pearls of blood pulsed from the tip of her thumb and she automatically thought, 'bad luck'." (pg.8)

2025-03-19 16:12:41 UTC

This shows nature as truth. It shows this because the rose was beautiful but they cut her in the end.

Mama, my finger. An angry thorn stabbed me said Esperanza.(pg. 10)

mscott294 — 2025-03-19 16:13:13 UTC

I think this means even the most pure heated things have a bad side to them.

she knew there would be a porcelen doll from papa 9

2025-03-19 16:15:21 UTC

beacus she 13 and she still wans a doll

"Abuelita nodded and said thoughtfully, There is no rose without thorns" (pg14)

2025-03-19 16:21:21 UTC

i think this quote is good with the catogory because nature is beauty but nature can be pian

"We are like the Phoenix Rising from the dead" said Abuelita. pg 50

2025-03-25 16:53:09 UTC

this quote means that he will rise from the uncles rath and he will feel better, and ok again this shows nature in beauty because they are rising from the fire and going to cali.

"We are like the phoenix, said Abuelita. Rising again, with a new life ahead of us." Pg. 50

2025-03-25 16:54:03 UTC

This quote resembles Lure over the Exotic because it resembles being reborn like the phoenix when you are moving. Its like you start a new life.

''We are like the phoenix,''said Abuelita. Rising agian, with a new life ahead of us.''Page 50

2025-03-25 16:54:59 UTC

It means Esperonza is like a phoenix becuase she is rising for a better life. Also she has pain while she has beaty.

"And for the first time since Papa died, everyone laughed." pg. 50

2025-03-25 16:55:28 UTC

This represents the phoenix because everyone laughing represents everyone being reborn from the ashes of Papa's death and the house fire.

"We are like a phoenix" said Abuelita "Rising again, with a new life ahead of us," (page 50)

2025-03-25 16:55:54 UTC

This describes beauty mixed with terror because Abuelita hurts her ankle and their house burns down but Abuelita describes a phoenix which shows beauty.

"And and I could work too" pg.50

2025-03-25 16:55:56 UTC

When the book said " And I could work to" I made a prediction I think that she is going to work in the fields but not enjoy it

The lovely young bird that is reborn from its own ashes? (Pg. 50)

2025-03-25 16:56:20 UTC

It is like a phoenix because they are beautiful but they have to burn themselves. Also, it is like beauty mixed with terror because they are reborn from its own ashes.

Esperaza do not be afraid to start over pg 49

2025-03-25 16:56:42 UTC

this quote means that they will start a new lifein cali and try to get there freedom again

Esperanza , do you remember the story of the phoenix, the lovely young bird that is reborn from it's own ashes. pg 49-50

2025-03-25 16:56:56 UTC

this is showing feelings because of the lovely bird and romance because Esperanza is a lovely person to be with also he is rising like a bird flies

"we are like the Phoenix," said Abuelita. "Rising again with a new life ahead of us." pg 50

2025-03-25 16:57:06 UTC

This demonstrates Nature as Truth because the Phoenix is apart of nature and it is true that they are rising again with a new life ahead.

"Dazed and hugging herself, Esperanza surveyed the surviving victims..." (pg.43)

2025-03-25 16:57:38 UTC

It fits under this category because she is terrified but is happy that she survived. It shows Esperanza as a phoenix because she survives like how a phoenix stays alive for forever.

"The Lovely young bird that is re-born from it's own ashes." pg.(50)

2025-03-25 16:58:55 UTC

This demonstrates beauty mixed with terror because the Phoenix is beautiful but it has to burn it's self. Esperanza's house burned down and there is ashes in her house so she can maybe be reborn from that.

We are like the phoenix," said Abuelita. Rising again, with a new life ahead of us." (page 50)

2025-03-25 16:59:10 UTC

I think this demonstrates nature is truth because in life you will be brought down because of life so you have to learn to not give up and keep going. And look at what's ahead of you not behind you.

''Esparanza, do you Rember the story of the Phoenix, the lovely young bird that is reborn from its own ashes?''(49-50)

2025-03-25 16:59:21 UTC

This quote shows how the superstition of the phoenix that is a bird who rebirths from its ashes and starts another begging.

"They had been young children the day papa planted one for each of them. pg.35

2025-03-25 16:59:46 UTC

When the book said they had been young children the day papa planted one for each of them. I think that Esperanza and Miguel show Romantic love for each other.

"I am stronger than you think" said Mama, "we will help each other" pg 49

2025-03-25 16:59:52 UTC

this is true beacause mama is strong. she also knows what to do when times are hard so mama will help everyone

''we are like the phoenix rising again with a new life ahead of us'' pg 50

2025-03-25 17:00:54 UTC

The phoenix bird shows us how even through pain something beautiful can come through. Everyone eventually has to go through it in life no matter what it is.

I am stronger than you think said, Mama pg 49

2025-03-25 17:01:16 UTC

This is romance because mama is saying how strong we all are as a family and to always be strong together.

"You should know that we have decided to go to the United States." Pg. 47

2025-03-25 17:01:20 UTC

This shows that mama wants freedom because she is willing to leave everyone and everything in Mexico to get freedom from Tio Luis

In California there is only fieldwork said Miguel. (Pg. 49)

2025-03-25 17:02:50 UTC

this shows emphasis on human rights because they should not be doing fieldwork for other people and they should be free.

'' Esperanza heard Papa and the others singing. They were outside her window and their voices were clear and melodic. Before she was aware, she smiled because her first thought was that today was her birthday. Page 23

2025-03-25 17:03:58 UTC

This shows desire because she wants her birthday with her Papa and family. Also she wants that more then everything.

We are like the phoenix," said Abuelita." Rising again, with a new life ahead of us." (pg.50)

2025-03-25 17:05:06 UTC

This shows feelings over logic because Abuelita says they will rise again but in reality there is a good chance that Abuelita won't survive.

'' We are like a Phoenix...Rising again, with a new life ahead of us''(pg 50)

2025-03-25 17:06:12 UTC

This Quote tells that sometimes you don't want to restart life but when you do, you know that's it's going to benefit you.

"... and the song had been in her dream."(pg. 23)

2025-03-25 17:06:51 UTC

This explains nostalgia from the past because she is thinking of her dad and remembering him when he was singing the happy birthday song before he passed away.

"I am stronger than you think" said Mama, "we will help each other" (page 49)

2025-03-25 17:07:43 UTC

I think this relates to nature is truth because a lot of people are stronger than you think and you should never judge a book by its cover.

"They had been young children when Papa had planted one for each of them," page 35

2025-03-25 17:12:03 UTC

The quote shows nostalgia after Papa passes and the love that Esperanza had for Papa.

"We are like the phoenix said Abuelita. Rising again with a new life ahead of us" (pg 50).

2025-03-25 17:12:33 UTC

I think this is showing feelings over logic because Esperanza and her family are not birds, but they feel like they are because everything is against them. They are starting a new life like how the Phoenix gets reborn.

Esperanza do you remember the story of the phoenix the lovely young bird that is reborn from its own ashes. pg 49-50

2025-03-25 17:13:41 UTC

This is exotic because the love in this is says a lot about it because love is the best foe this quote in the book

"Do the Okies have hot water? asked Miguel. "Not yet, but if they do get it we will go on strike." pg. 98

2025-04-08 16:52:00 UTC

This demonstrates a desire for freedom because Marta shows desire for freedom from the rough living conditions and wants to be free from the conditions.

"Hortensia had given Esperanza her baths since she was a baby and they had an established routine".

2025-04-08 16:53:18 UTC

This explains that she has nostalgia for the past because she is remembering her past that she wants back.

"Then she said, 'I am still rich, Isabel. We will only be here until Albuelita is well enough to travel.'"(Pg. 105)

2025-04-08 16:53:58 UTC

This demonstrates feelings over logic by Esperanza telling herself lies that her life will go back to how it was in Mexico.

"Yes, these are Papas roses" said miguel pg 123

2025-04-08 16:54:48 UTC

This demonstrates nature is as truth because Espresanza feels plesure with how it looks and memores of her father but sad because she misses him.

"Your not old enough to work in the sheds" said mama." (pg.107)

2025-04-08 16:55:44 UTC

This represents youth as the golden age because the camp doesn't allow young children to work so they can play with other children.

"I am still rich, Isabel. we will only be here until Abuelita is well enough to travel..."

2025-04-08 16:57:37 UTC

Esperanza wishes she was still rich so she lies to make herself feel better.

She looked at Miguel, blinking back tears. Which is yours? Miguel pointed to one which one is mine? He smiled and pointed to the one closest to the wall. (pg.124)

2025-04-08 16:58:01 UTC

This is nostalgic because she was thinking back in time when she asked Miguel that when she was a kid. Also, she was thinking about papa's rose garden and how it got burned down.

"Esperanza searched Miguel's face, her eyes hopeful. Papa's? Yes, these are your papa's roses..." page 123

2025-04-08 16:58:20 UTC

Esperanza gets nostalgic about the roses that her papa planted for her and is amazed that Miguel and Alphonso did such a thing.

Then she said, 'I am still rich, Isabel. We will only be here until Abuelita is well enough to travel (pg 105 )

2025-04-08 16:59:34 UTC

She believes that she is still rich when she isn't really rich anymore but still is holding on to what she believes. Also, she thinks everything is fine and doesn't want to face the truth.

"Then she said, "I am still rich Isabel. We will only be here till Abuelita is well enough to travel. Then she will come with money and we will buy a big house" pg. 105

2025-04-08 17:01:11 UTC

This demonstrates feelings over logic because it shows how she believes that after Abuelita gets better, her life will become perfect and normal again.

Esperanza said to Isabel I am still rich we will only be here until Abuelita is well enough to travel . pg105

2025-04-09 15:44:29 UTC

this is showing feelings because she said that they are still rich but they are not and don't have anything left.

Esperanza if we would have stayed in Mexico and I have married Tio Luis, we would have had one choice. To be apart and miserable. Here, we have two choices. To be together and happy or together and miserable. I chose to be happy. What do you chose? (page104)

2025-04-09 15:50:20 UTC

I think this demonstrates nature is truth because it talks about that even if you have a lot of money you could be in a toxic family relationship, and sometimes the people that have the least are the closest with their family because thats all they have.

"A roil of brown loomed over the mountains. "!Una tormenta de polvo! Dust Storm!" Said Irene "Hurry!" (page 147)

2025-04-14 16:02:02 UTC

This shows nature as truth because on any beautiful day something awful can happen. It can always happen out of nowhere and a dust storm can hit.

"Mama my finger ,An angry thorn stabbed me said Esperanza".{pg10}

2025-04-14 16:05:34 UTC

I think this shows that she has to strong and not cry.

"Anza are you alright?"(pg.93)

2025-04-14 16:06:04 UTC

This is when Esperanza tries to feel the earth breathe but can't. This shows nature as beauty because it shows how the earth is beautiful everywhere but things change as you go different places.

"dust storm"! said Irene "hurry!"

2025-04-14 16:06:34 UTC

this shows how nature comes natrully

And most of all, she longed for the sound of Mama's strong and assured laughter.(Pg.181)

2025-04-16 16:11:31 UTC

This shows nostalgic from the past because she misses mama and wishes she could go back to those times.

"'I...I can't remember,' said Esperanza, braiding the yarn doll's legs."(pg.174)

2025-04-16 16:12:23 UTC

This shows belief in child's innocence because the quote shows how she wants to remember the presents that she got for Christmas but can't.

"What was Christmas like at El Rancho de las Rosas?" pg. 173

2025-04-16 16:12:34 UTC

This question makes Esperanza think back to when she was rich and all her presents, showing nostalgia.

"Don't worry. I will take care of everything. I will be la patrona for the family now " pg 178

2025-04-16 16:12:58 UTC

this demonstrates nature as truth because it shows that esperaza will take care of her mom when she is sick and she will always be there for her. Even when the sickness/nature makes her mom feel weird and depressed

"What was Christmas like at El Rancho de las Rosas?" Isabel never tired of Esperanza's stories about her previous life" page 173

2025-04-16 16:13:08 UTC

Esperanza gets nostalgia about her old life in El Rancho de las Rosas and tries to recall everything

"...and drank war atole de chocolate and open our gifts."(pg.174)

2025-04-16 16:14:44 UTC

I think this quote represents nostalgia from the past because Esperanza is remembering Christmas memories from the past.

"But as soon as she reached a mountain, she was headed back down into a valley again. Would she ever escape this valley she is living in? This valley of mama being sick? (page 160)

2025-04-16 16:15:54 UTC

This shows how even when you get to a good moment, you will eventually get back to a bad one even if you don't want to go into one. Esperanza is in a valley because he mama is sick.

"She repeated Hortensia's recipe and as she sat for the second with her hands smothered, she realized that it wouldn't matter how much avocado and glycerine she put on them, they would never look like the hands of a wealthy woman from El Rancho de las Rosas. Because the hands were the hands of a poor campesina. "(page182)

2025-04-16 16:16:59 UTC

I think this demonstrates nature is truth because it talks about in a week you can go from having everything perfect to nothing at all.

''Esperanza, don't cry again. We will sleep with you if you want''

2025-04-16 16:18:20 UTC

It Showes that Esperanza misses her pass life in Mexico in the ranch.

She didn't knew that anyone know that she cries her self to sleep every night. pg 176

2025-04-16 16:20:18 UTC

this demon strats the desire of freedom because she wants to be free from the pesent life.

when the chart said she realized she would never have the hands of a wealthy woman

2025-04-16 16:20:56 UTC

Because she wants to be free from hard lab er and to be with her family againg

"She has Valley Fever. What does that mean said, Esperanza. It's a disease of the lung that is caused by dust spores". (pg 155)

2025-04-16 16:21:01 UTC

This quote says Esperanza is hurt that mama has a disease that is caused by nature and mama keeps coughing so she has to go to the hospital

''But now, sitting in this cabin, the story seemed as if it were about some other girl, someone Esperanza didn't know anymore.'' (pg. 175)

2025-04-16 16:21:03 UTC

This shows how Esperanza feels like her life in Mexico doesn't feel like hers anymore. It also shows how she misses her youth.

"That night she soaked he hands in warm water she realized she can no longer recognized the as her own. Cut and scared swollen and stiff they looked like hands of an old man." pg.180

2025-04-16 16:21:48 UTC

she is saying that like she misses her old hands and thinks that the dried hands are very ugly and wants the old hands she used to have that like were soft and not cracked.

"Esperanza was surprised at the simple things she missed about mama"(pg18)

2025-04-16 16:23:16 UTC

I think this quote shows misses how mama yoused to act like but now she is sick.
