Something Interesting About the Book I'm Reading
The book I'm reading now is about a kid who has big dreams. But like always there is an obstacle in the way. But in this story the obstacle is MONEY. He wants to go to 4 year university and become a teacher. His parents work in the fields everyday and during his childhood he missed like 1 year of school because he had to support his parents and help his family get money. I thought that it was sad because he had to move place to place to follow the crops up in California. So far that's what I've read.

Author in Progress
I need to work on paying closer attention to the story because I get lost while reading the story. Also I need to work on finding out what are the main ideas of stories or syntax or anything else.

Choice of Literature Analysis #3
The book I'm planning to read is the book Reaching Out by Francisco Jimenez. I find his books really interesting, because his books tell really important chapters of his life and how many struggles he had to face in order to achieve what he wanted. In my perspective I can just feel all his pain leaving behind his family in order to accomplish his dreams, spending Christmas by himself in his dorm in New York while his family is back in California. There were happy times in his books like getting married having kids, and there were sad times like not having enough money to buy a plane ticket to go back to California and see his family. But also he was raised here, here in Santa Maria California. I could sort of relate to his stories because my parents work in the strawberry fields for 10 hours and 6 days a week. I find him as an inspiration.

Letter on Big Question
Dear..................................
Hello. I have a really big question. I'm really interested in learning about the Indian culture. I just think that India is a really spectacular place to visit. Hopefully when older I get to visit this place. I would really like to visit the Taj Mahal someday I just think that the story how the Taj Mahal was built is a beautiful love story. But anyways the big question is that last time I went to Universal Studios and I saw a lot of Indian women. I noticed that most of them had a red dot on the center of their forehead. But then later on I saw a lady that had a black dot in the middle of her forehead. What is the dot and what does it mean? Also I would like to know what the differences are between the black and red dot? But then as I kept on walking around the theme park I also noticed that they also had red stuff on their parting of their hair and a little bit dropping down their forehead to. What is that and why is it their? Also I noticed that most of them had piercings everywhere on their face and pieces of jewelry hanging everywhere I would like to know what does that mean. I'm a really curious person so that's why I ask so many questions. I could go on asking so many questions about India but this is what I really want to know for now.
