Chapter One The boy Left behind page one forth paragraph: Quote, "Give me a Kiss mom" he pleads over and over
Significance: I dont know if i'm right but most people would look at this like the kid just want's a kiss from hes mom nothing elcs there is no meaning there is no point to this. The way I see it he is reashuring that his mom still loves him and will kiss him when ever he wants a kiss. Imagen how the boy felt when his mother did not gve him a kiss. It is like a slap in your face she basicly said she does not want to love him any more with out saying any thing. To a 5 year old boy that is a slap to the face. I would understand if this boy grow up hatting his mom I would to.
Personal Connection: When I was little i said this all the time to my mom to kiss me at random times at the store, before i go to bed, at the mall, moives any where and ever where. i needed to make sure that she loved me and woud want me to be hers so when I read this my heart aiked i wished that i could help the kid but I can't. nothing like what happend to Enriue happend to me just putting that ok there.
Question: what would you do if your mother did not tell you that they love you would you try to make them love you or just give up?
Page 16 paragraph 3: Quote. "Death never annouces when it is going to come"
Sigificance: What this is saying that death does not say or shows it self to any one that it is coming it pounces on people like a tiger in the dead of night they never see it coming. There are some many poeple trying to tell when death will decides someone elcs death people always live in fear of dieing the next day, but they are looking at it in the wrong way they should love life be happy with it let there lives be filled with joy and not keep your self bottled up in your home.
Reflection: When I read this I remberd my grandpa and he died in his sleep I was to young to understand that I can't see him any more, but now that I know that I can't see him I feel so bad there is saddness that fills my heart. I wish that I could see him one more time, but I can't untill the day I die I will not be able to see him agen.
Question: did you have someone close to you die when you where little?

Hey Noah,
ReplyDeleteI like the personal connections you made to each quote, very deep and meaningful. Don't forget to connect these quotes to the 7-8 questions I listed on my blog about immigrants' experiences at home and America.
QUOTE 1 Responce:
ReplyDeleteYour personal connection is really nice and I agree with you to a five year old not recieving a kiss is like a slap in the face. Also I can see why you would hate someone when your older who didn't love you when you were young.
Question Answer:
Well if my mom didn't say she loved me I wouldn't really know for a fact that she hated me.. she just doesn't say she loves me. But if I knew she didn't love me I'd first try to make her love me, then if that was fail then forget it.. I don't love you either. I meana if thats the ways you want it.
QUOTE 2 Responce:
Well, first of all your quote is like super true. And your right we shouldn't be bottled up. You never know or expect someone near you to die, until your at their funeral watching them being buried. Thats when you finally realize it that your not going to see that person ever again.
Question Answer:
Yes. I have. I have no grandpa's. One died of cancer on my birthday 1996 and my other grandpa was murdered in december 2009. :[
