Quote Pg. 72: "Boys are born men but girls become women"
Sigificance:
I think this quote is somewhat true. Because not everyone boy becomes into a man and they get into a certian age when they become a man. But girls do become a woman at a certian age but in this book at 15 they turn into a woman. But in the real world not everyone changes at that at 15. Or becomes a man at the same time.
Question: Do you think it's expensive to have a quinceanera?
Quote pg. 93: "This is a wonderful opportunity to invole young people in thier faith community,"
Sigificance"
I like this quote, because it talks about how young people has a great opportunity to have a great education. Also to get into thier culture and with the lord aswell. Being to religious in girls celebration when they become 15. To me that's great to see in young boys and girls being so reglious and learning about thier culture aswell. But sister Angela tells girls, that about her quinceanera how it is expensive and later on the future their daughters moms, still paying the money.
Personal Connection: Julia said that she is writing a book about girls having quinceanera and how it's so difcult. Because you have to look good for your quinceanera but you have to learn it's not only a party but your becoming a woman dealing with the real world. Which is true and Mexicans, Cubans, and Latinos have religious beliefs about thier culture and thier quinceanera's.
Question: Do you think it's a good thing to learn about quinceanera's, and asking differnet people about thier quinceanera's?

Quote #1: In some ways I do think this quote is true and some ways I don't. I don't think it is entirely true because people grow up and mature at all different paces and not everyone becomes and man or a woman at the same time.
Question #1: Yes, I think it is very expensive to have a quinceanera. As is said in the book, you have to include expensive things into your budget such as the dress, catering, location, and often you half to help with air fare for those who are coming by plane.
Quote #2: I agree with the significance you wrote because I also believe that everyone in America has the equal rights and opportunity to be able to have a great education and be successful in their future career. I also think that it is great that teens are keeping up with their religion and still practicing their Latino culture.
Question #2: I think that it is great that Americans who are not Latino get the chance to learn about other cultures and especially learn about quinceaneras because they are so important to the Latino culture. I also believe that if you were having a quinceanera, asking other people or family members about their quinceaneras is a great way to learn from their mistakes and try to avoid them during your quinceanera.
