Note to Mr. Sutherland, i try to link it to where i got the quote but for some reason it don't work on my computer.
I got this quote of Beatrice Zulu page and it about her talking about how she cant speak Krahn even though she live among people who speak Krahn
Krahn
When you take a cat and put it in a group of dogs, it won’t belong. My culture my language the one I can’t speak. I try all my best to understand some. Sometimes I want to speak it with my people, but I can’t. All my big brothers and sisters could speak it, everyone is proud of them. Me, nope I’m a big disgrace to my culture, but I don’t know how I lost it.
The theme i will say i got of Beatrice vignette when i was reading it is that when she dont know something she try her best to try to know. Its for example someone who live in a bad place like the ghetto and they want to get a better life, they will obviously strive to succeed by going to school and doing everything that is needed to be done.So i feel like even though Beatrice don't know Krahn but she loved among people who knows it she will try her best to learn.
This is a quote i got of Fremain page. I really like this quote because it talking about something he goes through in his life and he has encountered with.
East Oakland is where I stay. Home to three Latino gangs, Border Brothers (BBs), Nortenos (chaps, Nortes, X4) and Surenos (X3). Yea I Know about this. I’ve been around Nortes and Border Brothers before, but I’m not gang affiliated. Yea I know the gangs signs, but won’t throw em up where I stay at. I might get shot and killed.
His theme in this vignette i will say is being scared and also trying to survive. he talking about how he have been around all the gangs people but he know for fact if he want to stay alive he will bee sure never to throw none of those gang sigh up.
I used to be afraid of bees. I used to scream at the sight of them, run away, hide in the corner of my room until Mutti came to get me. When I was younger there were a lot of bees where I lived. They were innocent, of course. All bees are. A bee will not sting a person unless it is necessary- for when they sting a person, they die. All of their organs pool out and they fall to the ground, only to be stomped on
In Susan quote she is just like fermain. she afraid of what around her environment and try her best to survive from it.

helping mango street
In class while reading the mango street book i realize that Esperanza never like the fact that she lived on mango street. She hated that her family never lived in the house they dream about. The White house with long stairs. The one that they would have the own laundry mate. The one with big windows that she can sit and look through. The one with a fence to guard and protect them. Esperanza experience in living on mango street was very embarrassing for her because of the house she lived in. She felt like it was too small for her to even tell someone that her house. The embarrassing part was that when it rain water goes through it.
Living in the house was not the only thing that bother Esperanza when she was living on mango street. What embarrassed her was her feet and how her family cant afford what she want. One example that i have is that when she had a dance her mother bought her a beautiful new dress, but for some reason she didn't have enough money to buy her some new shoes so she had to wear the same old ones.
Here is a quote “one day i will pack my bags of books and paper. One day I will say goodbye to Mango. I am too strong for her to keep me here forever. One day i will go away. Friends and neighbors will say, what happened to that Esperanza? where did she go with all those books and paper? why did she march so far away? They will not know i have gone away to come back. For the ones i left behind. For the ones who cannot out.”
Her way of helping the people she left back on mango street is not by going back and getting each of them out and giving them money. But she was a young writer when she lived on mango street she decided to write her experience in a book that people will read and go help the people on mango street who can not get them self out. Or the ones who know how to come out but don't have a back up plane.

The house on mango street (should boys and girls be raised the same way)
According to the vignettes we read in the book the house on mango street, the readers can obviously tell that Cisneros obviously believes that parents do raise their teenage boys/girls differently.
Here are some of the Vignettes which you can tell.
“What the matter, Marin says, is for boys to see us and for us to see them (100)”
This quote is basically saying that Both boys and girls are raised not to look deeper into personality because the physical attraction and appearance are important.
Another quote that you can tell about her believes is in this quote. “Alicia whose mom died don't have nobody to make her lunch box tortillas(81) In this little quote that i got from Cisneros vignette is that she is saying that a girl child should not need someone to take care of her or the family when the mother is not available. The girls should know that is her responsibility to take the place of her mother when she not present.
Also another one that was notice that she was giving her opinion on how boys and girls should be raised is in the quote on page 81. The quote says “ Her father says to be this beautiful trouble she cant go without”.
In class we talk about this and what we came up with that Cisneros is trying to put out is that a family might treat a daughter in a family then they will treat the son. first of all because it easy for girl to bring shame to the family.For example most African i know threat the man son with more freedom because they have a theory that when a boy go out to do his business he wont come back pregnant. But for a girl child if she is given the same freedom as the boy do, for her to go outside to do her business. there is a 50-50 possibility that the girl will come back bring shame to the family
Looking at what cisneros think, i have a lot in common with her. I also feel like girls and boys should be raised up a very different way.But i disagree with the part that boys should be giving more freedom. It should be given to both gender no matter what the situation may be.

Height
Everybody in my Family has a different height. My pop’s Height is like a tellitubie, chubby and small. And me, my height is the shortest.This cute boy from across the street told me that I'm short because i don't get enough sleep. Beatrice is short and skinny, like a pen. Princess is the youngest , but somehow the tallest. Not taller then my father and Beatrice, but taller then me.
But my mother height, My mother height is like the mixture of three of us,Princess,my father and me. She’s chubby like my pop’s and round as me. She is a few inch taller then princess. When you see her walking down the street, she will remind you of the three of us.
The funny joke
Sitting around in the living room. That is something my family and i do every weekend. uncles, Cousins,Sister, and I.
Adralyn, Beatrice, Princess, Patience, Sarah,Thomas, Uncle Sam, Constance. Constance is one of the funniest people, but he will never be funnier then me. i always say he will never be funnier then me because most of his joke he tell are not funny but my family laugh at them anyways. He funny like a clown, which are meant to be funny but are not. One day he was funny. He was funny because he said this joke.
“One dai la African boi wen tu sku and la teacher tei he to read. he tri to read in American and he say..the boy and the girl. but he say a very low in a American accent. And la teacher say Wat. so he repeat his self. and la teacher sta not understan he. so he got mad and staleah spiken in African. He say la boi and la gal.” That was the only day Constance was funny as
me because that was the joke he said that made me laugh.
Hate talking on the phone
Talking on the phone is something I hate to do. talking on the phone something I try not to do. Talking on the phone is something all my friends love to do. I decided to try it once because my girl crew wanted to have a talk. i had a thought in my head that my voice might sound shaky or my friends might make a weird face every time i say something they don't like. Most of the people i know like to hide behind closed doors but in the end it will come to light. so for me i like to keep it in the light. talking on the phone make me feel like my throat got dried out of words. I get small like an ants and my voice get muted out.Talking on the phone is something i hate to do. talking on the phone is something i try not to do. talking on the phone is something my friends love to do. talking on the phone is something i will never do.
Soccer
I remember one day I had a writing homework that was talking about soccer. So it reminded me of when i was in soccer camp. soccer is just run, run, run, run, back and forth, back and forth, relentlessly, with only a few seconds of relaxation when a goal is scored, and that happens 1 in 5 sometimes never. Soccer is full with embarrassment of red and yellow cards. Its full with breaks and snacks. When I'm playing soccer i feel like a car that has ran out of gas and cant move no more. also when i though back to soccer camp i thought of the nose that was made on the bus by me and my friends. We sounded like a bunch of hawks flying and making noise over a dead body. The early in the morning walks to the bus stop when we all are to sleepy to even move. When remember the time i was in soccer camp i remember my time of fun and my time of sleepiness.
The bad girls club remix
the bad girls club is a show my friends and i watch on TV. Walking from walmart was when the idea pop in my mind. That we should do a bad girls club remix. My cousin got so juiced about the idea that she started spitting words like she had a bad taste in her mouth. My dumb little sister who doesn't know what we were talking about thought we was making bad girls club because we was walking on the side walk of a heavy traffic. Worrying that i don't get hate by the cars in the traffic i was scared to spread my legs apart and walk. my cousin had to come and pull me for me to move. taking it back to the bad girls club idea she told me we should speak our pigean language and then put it on YouTube. The bad girls club show a show we watched on TV has became our show that we put on YouTube.
Me, myself and I
me myself and i is where i live. me myself and i is my soul. me myself and i is a person i talk to. me myself and i is who i trusted.I say me myself and i is who i trust because when i am with my self i have privacy like i was lost on a island by myself and what ever i say wont leak out to some one different. I is for i stand alone. I know on judgment day i will be standing by myself so i try not to depend on nobody and be independent. Me is for me and only me. it should be all about me. It all about me. It all about me. It all about me because a birdie told me that when i want to achieve something it should be all about me and no one else.When I'm in the world of me myself and i. You can never guess what the three important things are. Me, Myself and I.

HOUSE ON MANGO STREET BLOG POST
“ She looked out the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow”. (pg. 10)
“and then Rafaela, who is still young but getting old from leaning out the window so much, get locked indoors because her husband is afraid Rafaela will run away since she is to beautiful to look at”(pg 79)
“Do you wish your feet would one day keep walking and take you far away from mango street, for away and maybe your feet would stop in front of a house, a nice one with flowers and big Windows and steps for you to climb up two two upstairs to where a room is waiting for you.”(pg.81)
No speak English(pg 76)
The first two quotes to me is like the same. For example both women are being locked in doors, they are force to do something they don't want to do.The first women is being locked in because she is married to a man she don't want to be marry to.
Then the other girl is being locked up because her husband is afraid she might run away.
Its seem like all the mens are doing is locking their women up so they don't run away. And the women are still trying to get notice so they are looking out the window.
.
in the other quote on page 81 is somehow different from the other two. They are talking about house with big windows which is going to look like they are rich and they live somewhere beautiful. Living in a house with big window and when is open will make everybody on your block look at your house which is also looking at you.
the other last quote never really said anything about window.All it really talked about was how people don't know how to speak English.
