      You can tell where she's from when she speaks English, and more when she speaks Spanish.

She didn't only grab the attention from those who would listen to rap, but now also those who listen to reggeton.

    11. “While I was pregnant, I kept telling myself, I can’t wait till I’m back out there. I’m going to look hot, and I’m going to be that bitch.”

    1. The Internet, on the other hand, contains both good and bad information.

      This is because the internet can give you information from different sources, but too many is overwhelming.

    2. A database is a collection of related data, usually electronic, set up for easy access to items in the collection. Library bibliographic databases contain articles from newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals, and other publications.

      Its also very easy access, and gives you exactly what you need. From cites to everything else.

    3. ry entering the search term “bottled water quality” into Google, without quotation marks around the term. How many hits do you get?

      by entering the quotations, it shortens the amount of sources and gives you the most relevant information you could use.

      they've done expierences where they check the waters pH level. maybe that could be useful for this.

    7. Congratulations on getting started early!

      This is something all students should do to help them turn in better work. When something is done last minute it could be good enough, but its a good feeling knowing you tried your hardest and receive a grade with that feeling. Also seeing what you're capable of, of finding out skills that you might've never thought you'd have.

      Her happy place, her peace.

    2. She describes her time in Mexico as being in a state of joy where she is constantly daydreaming.

    3. feel it’s our responsibility to support young Latino and Latina writers who are probably being discouraged

      I feel this is still our generation today, but not as difficult. A lot of influencers now in days are hispanics, latinos and even immigrants. Where they're not afraid of showing the pride they have for their race. They show who they are and help others not be ashamed of their skin color or body.

    4. He has it locked up with a key in a safe somewhere. It will probably help pay for my nephew’s tuition,”

      Her brother believes its a good book and knows its going to be very valuable some day.

    1. But much of the skill is mechanical. The rest is instinct—knowing how to make the other person relax, when to push, when to listen, when to stop.

      Being able to see the persons reaction and facial expressions tells you how comfortable or uncomfortable they are, so that where the interviewer can come in and either change the question or say "tell me more".

    2. musty

      Musty like ... stinky?

    3. This is a person talking to the reader directly, not through the filter of a writer

      By saying "not through the filter" they probably mean not hiding anything and being crystal clear.

    4. Nothing so animates writing as someone telling what he thinks or what he does—in his own words

      Being able to get more expression and emotion to what their response is, and being able to see how much they mean it when they're saying it.

    1. we tend to blame the partner – and call it a day

      Guilty of doing this. It's not always just with our significant other, but with the people around us like friends and family. We never want to admit were wring or see where we're wrong. So we blame it on the other person and slowly the relationship start going down hill.

    2. or we’ve never been so good at explaining what’s going on when we’re worried

      Communication is key.

    3. All of us are crazy in very particular ways

      We sure are.

    4. It isn’t that such desires are wrong, they are just not remotely precise enough in their understanding of what we in particular are going to require in order to stand a chance of being happy – or, more accurately, not consistently miserable.

      It's not something realistic to be out in search for. Yes it's important to be able to have fun with your partner and all, but we have to think more deep into that if we want a relationship to last and work out.

    5. Choosing the wrong partner: We try to get together with people who don’t really suit us, because we don’t understand our needs

      This is true. We come to think that there isn't someone out there for us, so we just try and deal and stick to someone where there is no spark. Only because we don't know ourselves and who we think we'd get a long with better.

    6. we have a greater chance of avoiding errors in our dealings with others and in the formulation of our life choices.

      We'll know what to do and what not to do. So that we can make decisions that are best for us, and dodging whatever is not the best result for us.

    7. Self-knowledge is important for one central reason: because it offers us a route to greater happiness and fulfilment.

      It's important to know who you are as a person, and learn to be yourself. Also like they say "love yourself before loving others".

    8. what kind of taste do you have

      Like as in tastebuds or men? lol

    9. what are your talents at work

      This is because whatever you're good at and is helpful at work will make it easier. And could make your day go by smoother knowing how to work things.

    10. what kind of person are you characteristically attracted to in love

      We know this because we want to fall in love with the right person, and someone we can get a long quite well.

    11. In other words, not everything that we can know about ourselves is all that important to find out.

      What I think this sentence here is saying is that we have a lot of information about ourselves but not all information is really useful or major helpful.

    12. How does your relationship with your father influence your career ambitions?

      This is were the heritage comes from, most grow up to get the family business passed down.

    13. On what day of the week were you born?

      It's considered self-knowledge because it's something we all should know. Helpful for self-identity as well, which is why we know it... like a social security.

    1. It just goes to the property boundary When my neighbor steps back and says, “Oh. You’re not from here, are you?”

      Did your neighbor ask you that since you just moved into the neighborhood? Why did it bother you that he said that?

    2. Can you earn being from a place?

      Why is this a question in the article? Maybe trying to state since it's such an asked question everywhere ou go, you should get payed for being from "somewhere".

    3. doesn’t have roots like trees.

      I like this phrase, I think this is a good phrase for this article because he's talking about how he has moved from state to state and unlike him, trees have roots that don't move from places. So he doesn't have roots like trees. Like a metaphor that he can't use to compare himself with.

    4. I am from the things I hang on my wall

      What do you have hanging on your wall?

    5. I am from the work my father did.

      What work did your father do?

    6. I am from three states and six different cities.

      What was the cause of moving from place to place?

    7. where are you from?”

      Is the answer a place you're not proud of sharing?

    8. 22

      Why did you choose 22 as your header? Age?

    9. gave it fruit and seeds

      This probably means the family grew big.

    10. and invented mine

      Do you know how he came up with the name? Any meanings behind it?

    11. He lost his family’s name

      How did he lose the family's name?

    12. His legend

      How do you know he was a legend? How did you find out about him? Who mentioned him to you?

    13. I carve my crooked name, my name.

      She refers her name as "crooked" as she's writing it several times, why?

    14. I carve my crooked name, and again at night until my hand and arm are sore,

      I like this because she is printing a picture in my mind showing me that her handwriting is probably not as neat.

    15. Something like Zeze the X will do

      How does this name define who Esperanza believes she is?

    16. I have inherited her name, but don’t want to inherit her place by the window.

      She doesn't want to inherit the experiences her great-grandmother had, just because she has inherited the same name as her.

    17. She looked out the window her whole life, the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow.

      Her grandmother never looked passed that and never forgived him for doing that to her. An image of what her name reminds her of.

    18. It was my great-grandmother’s name and now it is mine.

      Does it mean something to the writer? Is it something to feel grateful?
