my beloved world

Hi everyone, on page 130-132 it says that "Marguerite Gudewicz and I both had a crush on Joe. He was messing around with both of us, being straight with neither. What did he think, that girls don't talk? When he dumped us both for someone else, Marguerite and I became bestfriend." This means that joe was playing with both girls feelings and that they didn't like that so now they speak to eachother and became friends one more time again. They also said in their mind that forget about joe he plays to much with girls and don't respect us at all so that means that he is a player.

.........

Good evening everyone,



     

Other questions about My Beloved World

• On p. 133 Sonia asks herself "How could one become an interesting person?" How would you answer that?
• In Ch. 13, Sonia learns the value of logic when debating someone. However, she senses that emotion is important too. Do you agree or disagree?
• Why does the school nurse have a problem w/ Sonia getting a "likely" from Princeton?
• On p. 175, Sonia's mother asks her to write her paper that she has to write for Hostos. Sonia won't b/c it's cheating. But why else would it be wrong?

The Melting Pot (or Salad Bowl)

In Sotomayor's "A Latina Judge's Voice," she discusses the "melting pot vs. the salad bowl." Do you know those metaphors? How do these metaphors align with Sotomayor's experiences that she shares in the book? Why is it important to have multiple people represented--in schools (both students and teachers), in communities, in jobs? Or is it important?

Diversity and Growth

After Sonia and margarita had met they became very close, sonia looked up to her. They both had so much in common as they came from similar up bringing. The conversation on how men knew what to do with with white and black girls, but have no clue how to handle the hispanic female was funny to see sonia speak like that. Sonia joined the latino club and became a big advocate for them, i feel this is where she really started the growth process into becoming a judge one day. Sonia believes that she needs to pave the way for minorities, and how she needed to open up the opportunities for other ethnicities to work in the administrations.  The administrations wouldnt even respond to the letters written to them from the latino club to speak about hiring someone of other ethnicity. The latino club filed a complaint to the department of health and education and before they knew there was a new assistant dean of student affairs who would fight for the hispanic students voice to be heard. This was such a huge move foward for future students and future job opportunities to others.
