"Corn for a hog"
2. Does the quotation characterize Grant, Jefferson, or another character? If so, in what ways does it characterize? 
This quotation characterize Jefferson. In chapter 1, Jefferson is being called a hog. However, jefferson is called a hog to confirm his innocence of the conflict.

If so, which theme and how does it relate?
This quotation relate to the theme of discrimination. However, I choose the theme of discrimination because Jefferson is called a hog during chapter 1. However, Jefferson has been treated as an animal in jail. He have the thought that he is a hog instead a human being. He refuse to accept he is a human.
Chapter 17.

This quote reperesents Jefferson because he in jail n he refused to accept he a human being. Also Grant wanna leave the city with Vivian. However, she dont want to because of her children.

Blog Post Assigment 4: Quotation ch.14

"Not for those who have to work in the field"
This quote symbolize the lack of freedom of a black person.However, during this period of times black people were used as slaves to work the crash crops on the field.
This quote represents the setting of a conflict. For instance, other regular people used to go to church and be with their families. In the other hand, black people were working on the fields, and they did not had enough time to enjoy at home.

Blog Post Assignment 3

I want to visit Hawaii when I grow up. Hawaii has been in my mind since the first day I went to the beach. However, there are a lot of things that I found fun about Hawaii. For example, Hawaii have a perfect climate where nobody can be hot or cold. In the other hand, Hawaii is one state where most of the hotels and resorts offer great low cost attractions for kids, friends, and family. During the trip to Hawaii people can enjoy its envitonment, watch whales, watch dolphins jump and play on many of the ocean cruises. Also, someone can swim with the sea turtles, and snorkel with all sorts of different marine life.  Star gaze in the beautiful night sky and take a walk around the magnificent volcano. There  are many reasons I want to visit Hawaii. They have a good cuisine, beaches , and hotels. Where family members can enjoy their trip.

Blog Post Assignment 2: Temporary escape




There are really hard times when people  feel like their life is heading to no where. What people need or can help them is to think and reevaluate things and try to relax. However, people can do things that could make them happy such as bonding with family and friends, or being close with nature. I think that is why people look for a escape. However, whenever i feel like my life is going through struggle and feel like my life is turning down, I will go out to eat with my family amd have fun. My favorite scape could be a soccer field and a ball,  I think soccer is the cure for me. Soccer had been helping me to realize that i have to work harder if i want to have succes.
