Throughout Rain of Gold, Lupe expresses her life and each part of the day as a miracle, produced by god. As Lupe grows older and progresses through school, how do you think her views will change? Or will they change?
I mean that she will see God in the same way but it might change under the bad circumstances where her family lives. As people grow up they change so I think that might be the same with Lupe.
I see. She will see god as a way to cope with her bad living conditions. That is interesting because at the age of 6, she is fine living in her small shanty with her family. As she gets older, she probably won't appreciate it anymore and think of her living conditions as slums.
Eventhough I think that will happen, I hope she can over come her living conditions and become secure with a family and husband. People who come from poor families seem more driven for a better life than rich people where everrything is give to them.
I don't completely agree with you on that point. To me, it seems as though people who come from poor families have few opportunities in life, and they often give up. They may want a good life more, and appreciate good things in life more, but I'm not so sure they pursue a better life more than rich people.
Well I think some rich people don't necessarily need to try because their parents can pay for their education. I am not saying all rich people but some. In the book Juan's family is going to America so they can have a better life while the rich gain profit from the cheap labor of the haciendas.
The rich benefit from the cheap labor of desperate Mexicans trying to improve their lives(juan's family).That's how I think the only way that Juan's family can cross the border of mexico and live in the united states. The only people who benefit from his deal is the rich hacienda owners.
Yes, I agree with that now, especially from the part in the book. With all the Mexicans working hard to cross the border, its clear that the poor work hardest to improve their lives.
I think it will change as she goes up, but I think she will keep apart of her when seh realizes the reality of living in the slum of Mexico.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by, " keep a part of her when she realizes the reality of living in the slum of mexico?
