Poetry although is the closest to someone's true emotions and experience. It is full of love, hopelessness, happiness, sadness, confusion, lost, and so much more. It is the escape of someone who seeks and flows within this disruptive world or even into another world. Poetry is beautiful.]]> 2018-12-03 01:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310255348 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310256647 These cloths are stories that describe our journey to America. This represents history that our elders keep in their heart of how hard they had to work and for us younger generations to remember the hardship they had endured. This story cloth depicts their journey from farming villages to refugee camps. With these story cloths it reminds us the history our elders went through to have a better life here in America. These are the things that we cherish because we are who we are because of our elders.]]> 2018-12-03 01:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310256647 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310259212 I think this poem is describing racism. The speaker of this poem is describing how they are being discriminated because they are of color. The speaker is confident that he will one day be recognized and be able to eat with the family. This is describing the history about what some families went through.]]> 2018-12-03 02:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310259212 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310261789 As a girl, I think this poem was really meaningful because as I grew up I remember my mom saying these things to me. With the guidance of your mom you learn right from wrong. Taking the advices and lessons from our mother will be able to help us in the future and make us a better person. I am able to connect to this poem personally because I have two daughter of my own. These are things that we, as girls, keep in our hearts and remember so when we are mothers of our own we can teach and say these things to them as well.]]> 2018-12-03 02:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310261789 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310263530 I think I can refer to Esperanza in this story. Growing up as a different race you get treated differently. Also growing up as a girl in my culture you have different expectations and life is much stricter. In this story Esperanza was lost and confused as she grew up because she didn't realize the sacrifices her parents did for them. As she grew up she realized and saw what she did and did not want to become. She became more happy and knew what she should do.]]> 2018-12-03 02:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310263530 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310265108 This play was very interesting because it had many different symbols that could have a few meanings. An example would be the fence. To Troy it meant keeping this out and keeping his family safe and to Rose, it meant to keep her family together and bond. This play had many different emotions from sadness, confusion, to happiness. With these emotions you get to experience the hardship the family went through to seeing the happiness of the family.]]> 2018-12-03 03:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310265108 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310267537 This short story is about a girl Eveline who faces a difficult dilemma: staying home or leaving with her lover. She is confused is she should stay and fulfill the promise she made with her mom and take care of dad and brothers or leave with the one she loves. She decides to stay back and take care of her family. In life we all encounter many decisions not knowing the outcome but we live with what we choose.]]> 2018-12-03 03:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310267537 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310269732 This poem is about a mother expressing her love for her son and how children transition to adolescence by choosing their own path in life. This is another that is also meaningful to me because I have sons. I think as a parent you learn that you can only guide your children but you cannot choose their life for them.]]> 2018-12-03 03:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310269732 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310271143 This poem is about the child and the fathers relationship. Also about how a child’s memory of their father abused them. This is something no child should have to encounter. I think this child will hopefully learn from this and when he has his own, he will learn to love the child and not do the same his father did to him.]]> 2018-12-03 03:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310271143 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310271639 This short story is about a boy, Victor going back home to retrieve his father's ashes. On his journey home he learns about himself and accepts who he is. I think many people go through things like this: finding themselves on the hardest time of their life. You set aside your differences and work with what you have to achieve things you've never done before.]]> 2018-12-03 03:59:45 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310271639 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310272915 In this short story it is about a man Jefferson who is wrongly convicted and how he learned to accept himself. In this story it also had many symbolic meanings. An example would be The notebook had a very important meaning in the novel. It restored Jefferson with his humanity and not think of himself as an animal. It also represented as friendship between Grant and Jefferson. I think this story had many emotions from anger to disappointment to hopefulness.]]> 2018-12-03 04:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310272915 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310274409 This poem is saying that life isn’t easy and you’ll come across obstacles where you will have to face it to live your life. It’s also saying that you should look at the positive side of things and not always winning. I think this poem is about being optimistic because you can't always get things the way you want.

My mom telling me things as I grew up and now me telling my daughters the same things as I was told. This poem relates to me so much because as a girl you just have to learn so much more from cooking to cleaning to respecting yourself. I feel like most girls will also relate just as I do.]]> 2018-12-03 04:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310275336 moual9 https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310275749 2018-12-03 04:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/moual9/brjewxixvgff/wish/310275749
