I predict by judging by the title is going to be about how to speak up and stand up for yourself. Learn how to communicate?

I think I will start doing this, I think it is a good method. Hopefully there will be time on my side to get to do this, once I get to more important essays to write about like controversial topics. I personally struggle on writing, and I overthink too much and do not know where to start. Specially on trying to search out for sources.

So you talk about a topic and try to search new source of information to support your claim, and make it more meaningful.

This reminds of the time when Austin had like a warning on not to use our water from the house for a few days, because I think something happen from a flood, and they had to fixed it. It took a week, and the entire week we had to drink from bottled waters that we bought from an HEB. We had a hard time finding package of water too because everyone from the district were freaking out. We bought like 10 packages so we can shower as well, also those gallons of water too. I read too you can drink tap water but had to boil it for like 15 min in the stove from contamination. it was crazy.

I did not know bottled water can be much healthier, this is a very hard situation because plastic hurts a lot the environment. I wish people just know how to recycle and throw their trash away because topics like these really do get me angry. at the fact that the reason there is a lot of pollution too is because people cannot take care of themselves by at least throwing their trash away, that is why there is a lot of contamination in the air too.

I pity many women from this time because this time of the generation there was not many, I guess you can say, opportunities. Maybe from that time many women did not have education or have to help their families. I know specially in Mexico, there are many cases were families force their children to get marry at such a young age. They might of had a lot free time to spend a lot to get to know people and fall in love easily and later decide to marry. It is a very hard thing to see how other women, so young, getting married and experience so much sadness only for getting married and then divorced. Until today, these thing still happen but not so much often like the 40's 60's, gladly its a new generation to think through making decisions when it comes to love and marriage.

True, career is important because you are earning a degree for a job you either makes your life's worth in the future while doing something you love and passion about, for some. yes it does not compare of choosing your partner because you will never know when your soulmate can come, it can come at any moment of your life.

a loss of position or status

one who practices or holds monogamy. Monogamy means the state of practice of being with a partner at a time.

A degree of bachelor conferred by universities and colleges.

love, there is different types of love. It can be love from what you are passion it about, like a special someone or a hobby you really enjoy to do. Family, friends, or a partner. Your favorite meals, subjects, music...anything.

I feel like the more you think about how to live your life, the more you waste time and not enjoy it all. I guess your twenties can be "stressful" but I said its a starting point to how it is going to be at your 30's or 40's, when you have something to worry about like kids and family.

to regard or treat, forgive something bad

I love the idea that many students from generations to come are going to be reading this book, especially the Hispanic/Latino community. It is an good book for boys and girls that can relate and have some influence from this short memoir stories.

I respect her words because we do live in a world were there is a lot political problems, and sometimes we got to speak from our hearts to lift many spirits. Especially the Hispanic/Latino community who are going through a hard time but reading the words, people have to make an act and work smarter and move one forward because we can't be living ang going through this. We got to make an act.

having order and things place together into a more logical and intelligent way. Like in interviews have to be kept in order on what you are trying to write about expose to the reader, and having interviews and their answers fit well on what you are trying to say.

in other words, you got to know his/her background before you get to talk to them, because if you go and just interview you are not going to gain any good answers.

In this case it does not matter how much importance a person has or success, I mean it could gain a lot of quality information and interest for the reader. Though someone who has life experiences and not so much success but someone that has a good job and has some experiences can speak a lot too. Other words, it can be anyone.

People this days dislike hearing the truth, nowadays, because it hurts them and its a fact and its true. No one can deny it. I think the book that he wrote was helpful towards its readers but not many people like it because its speaks some truth that no one wants to face. That is how society is now a days.

A form of intellectual that gives the owner right to exclude others from making, using, selling, and publishing their invention and enabling from public disclosure.

Idiosyncrasies means a characteristics or habit done to a specific person, so the author is trying to say how the person is use to putting sentences together.

its saying word by word and comparing it to a talking bird who is saying what he is trying to say. I don't know or im probably thinking it through too much haha. He is writing his descriptive reviews and writing his points across like a bird talking, but the critics are not paying attention to him. No matter how hard he works there is always going to be someone criticizing and he compares his critics as cartoon characters.

judging from the title it seems to be poetic or talking about poems.

the feeling of displeasure and annoyance. Having vaguest feelings of doubt, suspicion on something.

Full of feeling and emotion. joy and delight.

I can somehow relate to do this because sometimes you feel like this is a lot of work but if you don't do it it will affect the future and disappoint the ones I love. There is no other choice but to end up doing the work, even if you're afraid it will turned out wrong or not good enough. You feel stuck.

The author is trying to point to the reader that not everyone has to feel full of enthusiasm to do great things, because not everyone is perfect. Everything has its pace and when you want to do something and take your time with it, you will have great results.

So to initiate is to begin, to start, and to introduce a knowledge of art or subject. I think uninitiated is the antonym or the complete opposite of initiate.

What does her mom who struggles to see have to do with what she is saying, I felt like it was random. Is it the same woman her father knows or is it another woman? because later she describes her mom becoming really mad towards him.

What does this word mean? I looked it up but I think it somehow related to a plant that is not yet developed.

Reading this reminds me of the family photos we have in a huge plastic box. Photos of memories taken from when I was little from birthday parties or trips we have gone. Half of them being random photos just like this one, where half of their eyes are close.

This sentence confuses me because I don't know what the author is trying to say by "the one nobody sees." But I think she is trying to indicate that she would like to change her name into a new one, because she wants a name that could make her feel more like herself. Also a name that she will only know the meaning of and feel more comfortable with.
