The House On Mango Street by Christopher Kolanovic https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv English project for class about 1 theme. en-us 2022-11-29 18:20:07 UTC 2022-11-30 16:11:31 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3eb.png The Immigration Experience christopher_kolanovic https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2402405114 I chose this image because it represents the first thoughts when arriving to a new country as an immigrant. You feel lost, out of place, and aren't sure what you should do afterwards. ]]> 2022-11-29 18:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2402405114 Quote #1:"I bet I can see your house from my window. Which one? Come here. Which one is your house? And then she made me stand up on a box of books and point. That one? she said, pointing to a row of ugly three-flats." christopher_kolanovic https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2403750330 This quote connects to the immigrant experience, and describes how minority races experience stereotypes based on their class, financial stability, and background. For example, the nun immediately assumes that Esperanza lives in a poor, run-down house, likely because of her race and background.]]> 2022-11-30 15:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2403750330 Quote 2:"Those who don't know any better come into our neighborhood scared. They think we're dangerous. They think we will attack them with shiny knives." christopher_kolanovic https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2403756568 This quote connects to the theme once again because it shows that the people living outside of Esperanza's world view her community as dangerous and violent. The Mango Street community ties with the idea of immigration neighborhoods, and this idea is what separates us by viewing specific neighborhoods as burrows for one race.]]> 2022-11-30 15:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2403756568 Quote 3:"And maybe if the surgeon would've come, maybe if he hadn't lost so much blood, if the surgeon had only come, they would know who to notify and where. But what difference does it make? He wasn't anything to her, he wasn't her boyfriend of anything like that. Just another brazer who didn't speak English." christopher_kolanovic https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2403773189 This moment in the story is significant to the theme of the immigrant experience, because it shows that immigrants are viewed as rats, and below original citizens. The author convinces us that the reason why Geraldo was denied a surgeon, and basic healthcare, was because he was an immigrant with no background or history.]]> 2022-11-30 15:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2403773189 Quote 4:"In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color." christopher_kolanovic https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2403783244 This is an important starter to the story, because it tells us that Esperanza is already not confident in herself and her history. The author puts this in here, because she wants to let us know that she didn't believe she would make it far, living on Mango Street as an immigrant.]]> 2022-11-30 15:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2403783244 Grade laura_brill1 https://padlet.com/christopher_kolanovic/gh7r5hzoy1ghwvzv/wish/2403798533 Chris
