Just another wet-back. You know the kind. The ones who always look ashamed."]]> 2022-11-30 15:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403768912 brian_reistroche https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403771512 Geraldo was denied service from the Hospital because he was Hispanic. Wetback is a slur used against Hispanics, mainly Mexicans. He died in the Hospital because a surgeon didn't come only because of where he came from. This connects to the immigrant experience by showing the discrimination that Geraldo went through for something as trivial as the color of his skin.]]> 2022-11-30 15:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403771512 brian_reistroche https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403787944 "They are bad those Vargases, and how can they help ti with only one mother who is tired all the time from buttoning and bottling and babying, and who cries every day for the man who left without even leaving a dollar for bologna or a note explaining how come."]]> 2022-11-30 15:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403787944 brian_reistroche https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403793622 Rosa Vargas had multiple children with a man, but he suddenly left Rosa and her kids with no notice and didn't leave anything for them. Rosa is most likely struggling to make enough money due to being only one parent on Mango St. And having to feed all those children, and the children lack respect for others because Rosa can't control them all by herself.]]> 2022-11-30 16:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403793622 brian_reistroche https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403800749 I chose the image because it represent the people of Mango Street. Everyone is in the dark and trying to reach a brighter place, away from Mango Street where they can make good money and not have to worry about all the problems that they or their friends and family have. The sun in the picture represents a brighter future for the people on Mango Street.]]> 2022-11-30 16:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403800749 brian_reistroche https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403804559 Marin, under the streetlight, dancing by herself, is singing the same song somewhere. I know. Is waiting for a car to stop, a star to fall, someone to change her life.]]> 2022-11-30 16:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403804559 brian_reistroche https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403811999 Marin is looking for a way out of the poverty on Mango St. by hoping for someone with money to see her on the street dancing or standing in front of her house and most likely get together with them and then get married. Marin has most likely been doing this for a long time but to no avail.]]> 2022-11-30 16:13:08 UTC https://padlet.com/brian_reistroche/qlpzyrhby2avbzww/wish/2403811999
