Esperanza Rising

The name of the novel I read was Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan and the publisher by scholastic. This novel is about this young girl named Esperanza. She would always live on her family's ranch in Mexico. She would have fancy dresses and a beautiful home filled with servants. But all of a sudden a tragedy shatters her world and forces Esperanza and mama to flee to California, where they settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers. Esperanza isn't ready for hard labor, and she struggles by the Great Depression. Esperanza finds a way to rise above her difficult circumstances because mama's life and her own depend on it. The plot of this novel is in Mexico where Esperanza has been rise her own life. The setting of this novel is in Mexico, and the farm ranch. The characters are Esperanza, her mom, and her dad. The obstacles is her fleeing to California. The theme of this novel is friendship, and also love because her and her mama are fleeing to California to camp farm workers. The author uses Esperanza life experience to other life experience in which my parents have gone through.


My opinion about this novel I really like this book. I enjoy reading this book, and I do recommend people to read this book. The reasons why I think you should read this book because the language is different from other books. Another reason is how the book is writer by the author.  The theme I discuss in this novel is love because Esperanza loves her country, and feels sad because they leave to California. First quote is "Esperanza, in this way my love and good wishes will be in the blanket forever."(p.14) The second quote is "Don't worry, Mama. Remember, I will take care of everything. I am working and I can pay the bills. I love you."(p.184) I compare this book to this other book Mango street because it has some comparing. This book impacted me in a personal level because moving to a new city can be very hard.

Wild Card Privacy

                                                 PRIVACY
Privacy is a huge part of the world. Now people are getting into peoples privacy for their identity when they want to apply for a job. In my aspect I think that many people are going on Facebook to check out what the real people are facing in the reality. They have to focus on their personal things. Privacy is a positive thing and it works through the community.
