Quote #1
page 230
"Just reading the Latina writers who began to emerge in the mid- to late eighties helped me feel encouraged and less alone."
This quote has to do with the book because there are a lot of struggles for Latinas and when the author says this it makes it seen that the struggle just gets less or goes away. And that fact that the Latina culture has reached out and has done some extraordinary things is surprising. Most of the stereotypical ones now a days are not as achieving.
This quote has to do with me because I have not reached out into the world like I have wanted to but soon in the coming years I will try to. They write books and I will help animals in need of a place to go. So as you we are just a like but so far apart.
Question #1
What does the word emerge mean?
Quote #2
Page 242
"Latina girls are in crisis, and if we deny it and ignore it, we will doom them with our complacency," an editorial in the same issue of El Diario/ La Prensa warns.
This has to do with the book because it is teling us that the females, as aposed to the prevous quote, are in trouble. It would take a lot to get these girls back on track to get themselves going again. These girls are always forgetting their place and time but they should really just listen to what the past has and the future has to offer.
This has to do with me because well I sometimes lose my way but I always end up having someone to help me. All these girls need someone to help them along. They need a mom or an aunt or a grandma to teach them to go the right way and to be a good person.
Question #2
What does complacency mean?
