Abuelit A Fictional Narrative

Living in Mexico throughout her teen years was very rough. Unlike other teenagers where their parents constantly provide for their children, Marisela’s life was a lot different than the usual parent- child relationship. She lived with her Abuela ( Grandma) Lupe, along with her 3 brothers and sister. She constantly had to take care of her brothers and sister at such a young age, that she became the mother-like figure of the

And my family goes too." (Page 2) I had expect Maria to soften and feel bad for her father who worked hard and wanted to take a break to spend time with his family, yet she just walked away. But slowly during the time that her family left her alone she started to feel bad for arguing with her father and that the turned into worry. "She felt bad for her mother and two brothers that would have to spend the next three hours in the car with him. Maybe he would do something crazy , like crash the car on purpose to get back at her..." (Page 4) she then worried more and more, I believe that she was regretting not going with them. Finally, when Maria had thought " How dare they have so much fun? While she worried herself sick about then,they splashes in the waves, stayed at great America until nightfall, and eaten at all kinds of restaurants. They even went shopping for fall school clothes." (Page 8) The reason why Maria is upset, I believe, is that she wanted to have fun with her family, I think she wanted to be here with her family more than worrying about her family. She listed a bunch of very fun things and "How dare they have so much

It was a bright hot summer day here in Little Pine First Nation, where the events took place. The chief and councillor’s had organized a fun filled day with family and friends spending it with one another. As the hot dreadful heat of the day goes by slowly the community is together as one enjoying the music blasted. The bass was pounding on my concession booth the good old country music that everyone likes. Kids are screaming, parents are cheering, cars and trucks are ramming, horses are stomping as they too are getting excited for the big day to start.

She learns to value her family, not be ashamed of them or herself, and not to wish to change her life. Only by the end of the story, did she realize how truly blessed she was. She felt so disappointed with her family after her mother began to work. She thought that it was dishonorable that her mother was being forced to work, so she attempted to hide it as best she could. At school, someone carried a pure white umbrella. She pictured it as everything she wished for that she could not have, whether it was beauty, good grades, or even wealth. Only after she received one of her own did she see how lucky she really

The sun was shining bright and a clear ocean blue sky in Mexico. It was a great start that morning until, Elizabeth had to make a difficult decision that could change her whole life. She has four siblings and her mom and dad. Her parents didn't make enough money to pay for school and for other multiple things. So Elizabeth and her siblings would just stay at home and help out their mom clean around the house. Sometimes they would just mess around at home not helping out with their mom.

And with that, things start to go bad for them. “But now the income of teh family was cut down more than one-third, adn the food demand as cut only one-eleventh, so that they were worse off than ever,” (Sinclair 128). Maria loses her jobs which she was great at, and at first she is reluctant to work anywhere else. She doesn’t want to work at the slaughterhouse, so instead of taking the

Mac left before the Sheriff or anyone else got to the center as he wanted to see how passable the trail was and if he could take the any vehicles up the hill. It was the smallest vehicle they had and it might make it. In several places, the trail wasn’t wide enough to take the quad so he gave up the quad and walked up. The distance to the site Jackie described wasn’t far.

To begin, the film Maria full of grace, presents a young woman, Maria who lives in a household where it is seen that her family is struggling financially and that her family essentially relies on her and her mother for financial income. It could be inferred from the film that the family is struggling because once Maria quit her job in the factory, her mother and sister whom who has a child are appalled at this act. As mentioned, prior you get a more personal feel to this film in contrast from the book. This is shown through her interactions with her family, coworkers/ friends, and boyfriend. This film touch base on how being struggling financially would lead you to perform jobs that aren’t exactly legal. Once Maria quit her job at the flower factory and her family begged her to go back, she wouldn’t which fundamentally led her to become a mule in transporting pellets into the United States for money. Maria’s life is an example of those who live under this umbrella of poverty.

Maria and John lived in a poor, low income community where majority of people were uneducated. The people who were uneducated work in factories surviving on low pay for long hours. There was no health insurance to protect workers from injuries happening at the workplace. If a worker get sick or injured they were on their own to cover the medical expenses. It was a difficult time for the low income families who strive to meet financial mets versus the wealthy families. Wealthy families can afford health insurance and get a higher education. For example, both Maria and John parents drop out of school to help their family to earn money. There were no resources provided by the government to help the poor community to strive for a higher education while earning a living.

Juana looked at him with innocence and spoke, " My parents are going to visit some family members." The guard looked at her parents and said, " Okay, let me see your visas" in a vociferous voice. Juana stared at the guard and her heartbeat began to increase, not from running but from the anxiousness. The guard looked at Juana in the eyes and spoke with confidence, " I'm so sorry but you and your parents can’t leave the country", Juana immediately grinned. Juana's parents were told they needed more documents, so Juana was still at risk on leaving her country. She ran and told everyone the news, Juana was happier than ever. 2 Years went by and
