Life_Change

The cirtcuits. I reedthis book that is about an immigrant who wants to get the American dream and suffers to come to this country to help his family and get good opportunities. This book is about a Mexican boy who lived on a rancho in Guadalupe (mexico) and for some reason he and his four family members moved to california because in mexico his father didn’t have a good job and had economic problems and things didn’t go so well , so his father decided to move to california . They crossed the border and stayed illegally in California When they were in California they didn’t have legal documents and they were scared about the police catching then and the deporting then. They were in california they lived in a labor camp and they constantly moved from farm to farm working picking cotton and strawberries to topping carrots. Panchito the young boy , didn’t speak or understand english . It was hard for him to learn different things. When he went to shool for the first time in this country to learn english he put all his effort into learning to helping his parents to work after shool during the summer. Panchito always worked har der with his parents and collaborated with then an everyting. His parents felt pround of him because panchito helped his parents. Sometimes his mom felt afraid for her family because her husband was working with illegal papers and he could discovered by the police and arrested and be deported. Theme. The general them if this book is family. “how hard it is to grow up”. I choose this theme for this book because I think is the best sentence that describe the whole history. This story describe how a young boy’s life change after migrating to a country with a new language and style of life. How people struggle to come here and work witout papers or illegally . His specific struggle was at school,when people talked to him and he didn’t undertand because he doesn’t speak english very well . For him it was very hard to make friends. Most of the time he was surrounded by people bigger than him. His friends at school made fun when he tried to speak English . He doesn’t even care about that because he really wants to practice his English. Character page # main.

My point of view. My point of view about this book , Panchito that he sacrifice his self to do all the impossible to help to his family and crossed the fronter to have a better life and This is a multi-cultural book because it describes the life of a migrant farmer family in America. It describes the work of the farmers, their living conditions, and how the children are educated. It describes what it is like to be surrounded by people who only speak English when you can only understand Spanish. And I agree with whole the story because it all about a boy try to work harder to get a better life for him and his family. Thoughts. I thought this book was very interesting. It told about the life of a boy who had moved to California from Mexico, where he was born. He had to work everyday after school to help support his poor family. He was very smart and maintained good grades and even got into college, which no one in his family had ever done before. He has to struggle with his father to make decisions financially and about his future. His father does not speak English and gets stressed out a lot. His mother is very understanding and tries to make everything work out for the family. I enjoyed reading this book because it took place not too long ago and the boy was around my age. I could not believe that he had to work to help support his family. I thought it was interesting because whatever money I get my parents let me keep for myself, but everything he had was given to his parents only to help them.
