the house on mango street

By: Sandra Cisneros // Alex Berrios

house

"A real house."
Honestly I cant say much about this slide mainly because I mainly have only lived in one house an haven't really moved. As a kid I never lived in a house per say I was put in an orphanage as a three year old. Before I went to the orphanage I can't really remember much of my life because I was so young. I also choose to block out most of the things that I experienced in Europe. Although I have only lived in one house I have had a lot of experiences in it. Not all the experiences I have experienced were good, they were lessons i had to learn to make me the person I am right now and the man I will become. I guess I can relate to her because I never really had a place I could call a real home or at least I can't call it a real home in my heart.

what not to wear

"Today we are Cinderella..." page 40
The reason I picked this quote is because I like shoes. I honestly believe that shoes can make or break a person when it comes to jobs or day to day activities. What I mean by that is, if you wear a bad or messed up shoes to an interview or during your day people will at first glance think less of you.I also like shoes because I like the way the look and I like the way they feel on my feet. They also have practical purpose such as protecting your feet from dangers like nails and things of that nature. You can also use them for sports. Personally I like basketball shoes the most. There are a few other kinds of shoes I like such as flip flops or slides and I like any white shoes because I think it looks good the way it sticks out. To me I believe that shoes get better the more we develop or grow. As a person that can sit there for hours and draw shoes and can look at shoes I would say that it is something that can also control peoples lives. I know shoes so much I can actually state things about certain shoes, I can name the name, who its made by, and specifics like weight. The way I relate to the quote I guess is because to me depending on the shoes I'm wearing it can sometimes make me feel better knowing that I own a specific shoe or just the fact that I have the shoes I always wanted.

death

"YOUR ABUELITO IS DEAD" page 56
To me death is something that is not scary. I have had a grandfather that died, but I did not know him because he died right before I was born. Sometimes I wish I could have known him and heard stories about his life. I don't understand why people are scared of death. I believe that people should be content with loosing their life at any time. We shouldn't even be alive due to like half the things we do. We are an evil creature that has been given to many chances. If we are not content with what has already been given, than we should be dead for not being grateful for the things that we have been given that we do not even deserve.
