Once Upon a Quinceanera #5
Post #5
Quote I
"The Quince Años blessing publicity acknowledges this historic role.” - Page 179
Significance
This quote stood out to me because, Monica acknowledged that most I think. Which shows that she is one of the women in the book who cares a lot about her historical background. The quote also signifies that Monica also can tell that more people grasp the tradition and culture that a quinceanera really comes out to be. Even though more girl that now live in the United States lose touch with.
Personal Connection
I can connect to this because sometimes I don't appreciate or acknowledge what my historical background really means. I just think it's there and never ask what brought our country to be like this? or why we celebrate? I always just go along with it and do what your suppose to do during that celebration. I agree with this quote because I hear from my friends that a quinceanera starts as just a party but mean so much more than what it seems, at the end.
Question
Does Monica think more girls don't know a lot about what you celebrate during a quinceanera?
Quote II
"That we can feel less alone and encouraged in our efforts to put the pieces together into a larger versions of ourselves." - Page 197
Significance
I picked this quote because at first I didn't really get what it ment at first but once reading it over, I liked what it ment. I'm not sure it means this but; I think it means that people from where we come from are still different from yourself as a person but when you learn about all of there people and understand where they come from, we all come together to me one.
Personal Connection
I like this quote because I agree with it. I think that all of us are different even though we come from all over, but at the end we have a lot more in common than what we expected. I've met a lot of people and the first time I meet them I think that we might be good friends but not have a lot of traditional or culture background similarities, but when you get to meet all these people you end up realising that they all are one visions of ourselves.
Question
Do you agree with what the second quote means?

Quote 1: I agree with this quote and the significance. I like how you explained how Monice seems to be the one keeping the tradition.
Question 2: It depends. I mean, Monica may know more then the other girls aand they might know a little more then here. It depends how much their family teaches them about it.
Quote 2: I agree with you a little. I think that it means that the girls have gone so far and done so much but they dont feel appreciated for it.
Question 2: Yeah. I agree with you. And also, I didn't get it at first either.

Quote #1: I completly agree. Monica really cares alot about her historical backround. I like this quote because it really stands out and its true.
Answer #1: I think that she thinks that not that many people know what the traditions are in a Quinceanera. But I think she'll try to encourage others to see what the traditions are.
Quote #2: I agree with you when you said that "I think it means that people from where we come from are still different from yourself as a person but when you learn about all of there people and understand where they come from, we all come together to me one." I agree with you because thats sort of what I thought when I read this quote.
Answer #2: Yes I agree with what the second quote means. I agree because I do think that people from where we come from are still different from yourself as a person but when you learn about all of there people and understand where they come from, we all come together to me one.
