Story - First generation students
1. I thought the lead was engaging due to the Spanish word used at the end of the sentence. Seeing it made me want to read and figure out what it meant.
2. The story talked about different first-generation people who struggle with identity. Specifically Latinos who speak better English than Spanish and find it hard to fit in at school and home. It also discussed Latino who are come to American at a later time and being doing everything they can to Americanize themselves.
3. The first quote that caught my eye was the one where one of the people talked about being confused and said they were too Mexican for Americans and too American for Mexicans.
The next quote came from the man who although he spoke perfect English was put in lower level classes. and he said he'll never be American in their eyes
4. I think the story was very well-written and though she used a ton of quotes most of them were properly used and the topic was made interesting.
