Quote#1: "We also have a program for future farmers."
-Mr. Kinkade
Page 75
I chose this quote because it shows how the Americans treated Francisco at school. It shows that he was not really thought of as someone who could accomplish something. the way Mr. Kinkade said we have a program for future farmers Ii think this shows that he just expects that Francisco wants to be a farmer just because he is not wealthy. But really he wants too be a teacher. So I thought that it was unnecessary for Mr. Kinkade to say that.
A personal connection is that sometimes I would just get judged by people when they don't even know me. So I think I know how Francisco felt. I think that it is really annoying and that I thought it was good that Francisco said that he wanted to be a teacher and not a farmer.
Question#1: How would you feel if someone just judged you with out even knowing you?
Quote#2: "Its a paper I wrote in English class on Trampita. My teacher liked it." I said proudly.

I chose this Quote because it sows how the teacher who is an American treats Francisco. I think that this shows how his teacher really admires his work because it was about his brother. I think that this shows that his teacher is not raced at all and his really kind to him. She also complimented him on his story about his brother. I think that this really meant a lot to Francisco that his teacher really liked is writing. I think he was really proud of his work.
This connects to me personally because I really like it when someone compliments me on my work or anything. It makes me feel proud and good. So just like Francisco I would be really proud and want to tell my Parents. Like he did when he got home. I also liked how he wrote the story about his brother and how he almost died.
Question#2: Would you be proud if this same thing happened to you?

I totally agree with that. When I read tt whole section part about Mr. Kinkade talking about different things Francisco could do, I also thought it was a little judgmental. I also don't think Mr. Kinkade should've said that.
Question: I don't like it when people do that. I think it's a little insensitive of them and that they should be more open to what other people think and have in mind.

I thought of something totally different than what you put. I thought that this was Francisco trying to impress and prove himself to his father and mother. Now that I think about it, I guess it is his teacher admiring his work, but I also think it's what I thought.
Question: Of course I would be! From what I read, he wrote a really good piece on his litte brother, and I'd be proud if my teacher told me it was really good too!

I agree with you daniel as well as carly that when you read the part when Mr. kinkade talks about different subjects francisco could do i kind of look at the detail of that response. It gave me a perspective that kinkade was talking about the future and what he wants francisco to be but he doesn't realize that maybe francisco doesn't want to be a farmer. So kinkade was trying to push the future too far.
Question#1: I would be very disapointed because they didn't look at the real me and they decided to think a little too much about my future instead of actually getting to know me personally. I could be a pretty cool guy if you get to know me and judging me before you even know who i am can be disapointing.

I felt like this quote gave more of francisco's opinion and not really what his teacher thought. I kinda of agree with you but i feel like its more of being proud of his work than the teacher liking the quote. I also thought it was a quote that francisco said with confidence whihc meant hes very happy that his teacher liked or in some cases his parents.
Question#2: yeah! i would be very happy, i would be very happy that i could put it in my friends faces, nah. But i would be happy that other people enjoyed my work and liked my kind of writing.

Quote#1-
I agree on what you said that Mr. Kinkade was being judgmental and that he thinks Fransisco is going to become a Farmer like he doesn't really know what Fransisco can accomplish so he shouldn't judge him
Question-
I would feel really offended and mad at the same time because they don't have the right to do that since they don't know me.
Quote#2-
I agree that Fransisco's teacher does really admire his work and the teacher can see that he is really smart. I also think that his teacher really sees something in Fransisco and he admires him for that.
Question#2-
I would be really proud because I like feeling that teachers and my parents believe in me because it makes me feel confident.
