One wanted to save up enough money to buy his own far,. One wanted to become a tomato grower like his father. One wanted to become anything but."

They never changed a single diaper. They never washed a dirty dish. They never touched a broom. In the evening, no matter how tired we were when we came in from the fields, they sat down and read the paper while we cooked dinner for the children and stayed up washing and mending piles of clothes until late." ]]> 2018-05-09 16:04:40 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259345237 elizabeth_ochoa https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259349528 "They learned that some people are born luckier then others and that things in this world do not always go as you plan"]]> 2018-05-09 16:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259349528 elizabeth_ochoa https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259349815 "And even though we saw the darkness coming we said nothing and let them dream on."]]> 2018-05-09 16:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259349815 phillip_swanson https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259350030 The Mothers know that the children's dreams will never come true since they "saw the darkness coming" that will crush both their dreams and their spirits making them into what the mothers currently are.]]> 2018-05-09 16:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259350030 victoria_velazquez https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259350048 The mothers thought that when they ended up married that they would have a better life than what they are actually living.

The reality that they will soon be faced with will change the moral of the children, one of the reasons I believe the mothers allow their children to dream for so long. ]]> 2018-05-09 16:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259350259 elizabeth_ochoa https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259351025 2018-05-09 16:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259351025 elizabeth_ochoa https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259351532 We noticed a pattern in the evidence for dreams and through that pattern, we think the author is trying to tell us the darkness is reality, the mothers are trying to protect their children from is the reality of when they grow up.The mothers are trying to protect their children from entering the darkness of reality by allowing them to continue to dream on about anything they want. ]]> 2018-05-09 16:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259351532 joshua_boyer https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259352306 This compared to their mothers had this dream of coming over to America and having this great life, while the kids have all these different dreams of what they want to do when they grow up.

Nowadays many are describing the American identity based off of political parties. Republicans are far more likely to be grounded in Christian beliefs and the traditions of early European immigrants as essential to U.S. identity. Democrats are more  at point to the country’s history of mixing of people from around the globe and a tradition of offering refuge to the persecuted.

Connections - This connects to Buddha in the Attic as young women are coming over to America to start their new lives, and having a new identity than in Japan. They are all working for a new life and don't really know their identity as an American, as they are all in a whole new place, with different customs than they are used to. ]]> 2018-05-09 20:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259443371 phillip_swanson https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259500843 Link at bottom

The Shame Culture talks about the many different types of cultural shame in group of mainly minorities. In this time period people are still picked out and bullied because of their culture. The article talks about how now in order to not have that shame people think they need to be a celebrity on some form of social media since they will be accepted there. It also talks about how everything posted is a huge threat to everybody in their eyes and its rarely done.

This connects to the book since in both they talk about the shame that people can face. In the book the kids laugh and try to make their parents stop doing cultural things like bowing and never bring kids over since they would be embarrassed. The kids want to be liked and try to fit in, some have dreams of becoming famous which in today's world would help them as said in the article. They want to be like Americans so they can fit in.]]> 2018-05-10 02:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259500843 victoria_velazquez https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259585923 Summary- The U.S is thought to be a culture of guilt while Japan is a culture of shame. The shame is due to taking political responsibility. Japan has a young democracy because of the ancient civilization and still being the world's third largest economy. The democratic party has really taken the root of Japan. 

Connection- This is similar to Buddha in the Attic because the women coming to America are having shame because of the way they have to live. ]]> 2018-05-10 12:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259585923 joshua_boyer https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259622326 Summary- This article is about how much shame there is in America. It goes through the times of the past when America was just a colony to the times of today with the cultural change. It says that Benjamin Rush made the term "Shame" as a punishment worse than death. Shame doesn't disappear as it just carries along with you. And from today with social media, shame cam be inevitable it seems like.

Connection- This connects to the because the mothers have shame in their children but the children don't themselves and want to become what they want to bed.]]> 2018-05-10 14:01:50 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_ochoa/ehqvjln934ye/wish/259622326
