p.106-130
-"Margarita prays for her 22-year-old brother, ricky- run over, llate night, by a full truck. next to a 7/2. sometimes, froma small envellope she pulls out his broken bones, or she finds his torn fingers at the bottom of a cup of coffee."
- i found this quote rather interesting because it was very realistic, but you could easily imagine it in your head. which wasn't very pleasant. at the beginning, you can see how she must miss her brother a lot but then towards the end, she says "who are your hearoes" which means that she is happy about the death of her brother which is very unusual.
-"For years, in that shadow, she smokled and kissed a stray that crossed our window."
-in this quote, they are tallking about the mother who takes care of this cat that is always close to their house. the cat that crosses infront of the window. they say she kissed it and smoked it. it was a small quote, but it showed a lot of emotions in the paragraph and meant a lot.

-"My plutomobile... runs on transvaal liberation dances, runs on the skin of a woman ghana drum, runs on free on free on free on free."
- this quote describes what his "plutomobile" runs on. there are many ligns describing what it runs on and i found this rather interesting and funny. there isn't reallly a theme to all the quotes he says, but they are suppose to described the "gas" his plutomobile runs on.
-"Do you qualify? or are you unqualified? you may not belong with us?"
-this quote shows that he thinks that ot be part of a group or a gang of people, you have to qualify to get in. not any one can be one of them and not evryone is equal. that is what he is saying. personnaly, i dont agree because i think every one is equal and that everyone should be given an equal chance.

-"get horny with the wrong images, pull weeds with my tongue out, revive lenny bruce, carve llotto numbers on soap,..."
-i chose this quote on page 61, not because i found it interesting, but more because it didn't make much sens to me. the title of this page is: things religion makes me do. i didn't understand how that had to do with what it says afterwards. i believe in this case, it doesn't talk about the normal religion that an everyday person follows but somethign out of the ordinary. towards the end, i think it's trying to show that religion is somethign that won't let you do everything you want. so its liek if you weren' free.
-"...i didn't know if she was watching for tex, the mixed dog, to eat the laundry or if she was going higher up, over the houses, the moving sky, torn clouds going west away from all the chavitos with peanut butter on their faces, far from the clap of dust, trastes, pink erasers, a kitchen table, beaten with hours, with pencils."
-this quote makes me think that all he is doing is looking outside the box. the way he wrote this, seems liek he is trying to imagine what she is seeing up in the clouds or it could simply be some random words put together. it shows that he doesn't jsut look at the obvious of the women looking out the window, but actually thinks more then that and even tries to see what she is seeing. this is a quote that doesn't end. it finishes this way and you don't know what happens which means that it lets you think what ever you want after. i personnaly think that he wonders so much about what she is looking at because he wants her to be looking at him because he likes her.

paper #2
-this is my intro for my comparison paper...
The Dharma Bums and Death of Justina provide examples of the search for discovering who you are, what you want out of life, and how to know when you find it. While the characters in these books are in different places in their lives, they share a similar search for their innersole. Using journey as a metaphor, Ray and Japhy, in The Dharma Bums, and the father, in The Death of Justina, each set out, either inwardly or outwardly, in an effort to understand whom they are and rearrange their priorities. Being able to know and realize what you really want is one thing, but knowing who you are as a person contributes to ongoing happiness.

notebooks of a chile verde smuggler
p.30-55
quote #1
-"Tabaco socks, lleather forks, redwood boxers, spit instead of tears, the obscure insides of aa swatch watch, guiness record, tattoos."
-i found this poeme interesting and kinda weird. it doesn't make much sens the first time you read it, but there is a quote present in this poeme. the way he wrote this, was by taking random words and putting them together to make a new meaning to them.

quote #3
-"i drop my burdens, from my feet that guide them, i drope my burdens..."
-i found the saying they use, i drop my burdens, very interesting since it could mean many things. to most people, you would look at these two pages as something that doesn't make any sens and jsut repeating it self. what it means, is that he dropped his worries and everything that he didn't want. and he describes the parts of his body and what they did to be a part of these bad things.
quote #2
-"The father guitar cuento song eternal, the mother no longer sacrificiaall, yet holy, the son, now walking, always walking, the house, gone up in tribal ashes, gone south to emptiness, gone to the earth sky river melody, no chain, no shame, no name."
-i love this quote because it represents a fmaily inside their house. but not only that. they talk about the family and what they do and then tell us that their house, where everything happened, went up in ashes aaand now there's nothing left.

CCC questions
here are the 10 questions I asked the psychologist I interviewed
1- what motivated you to become a psychologist?
2- what are the different kinds of types of psychology?
3- and what is the difference between those and a multidisciplinary psychologist?
4- what do you enjoy most in working with kids and helping them out?
5- Do you find your job unusual/ different then a “normal” job? Why or why not?
6- Psychologists know how to almost read someone’s mind and are able to understand any one that walks into their office. Do you learn to do this or its something you develop?
7-what age group of kids do you work with? Can you work with people outside that age group or you just choose not to?
8-what is the hardest part of your job, and why?
9-do you consider you job important? If so, to who and why?
10- do you think your job has an impact on the way people live their lives? Are you able to change the way a person lives? Or you can only help them to find the way they live?
