Quote: " My truth, okay, but I know what I'm talking about. The richest Cubans put out for their daughters. Quinces are special for us. You see, Cubans fathers are very attached to their daughters. The saddest day for a Cuban father is the day his daughter gets married, You're happy for her, but you're heartbroken to be losing her."
Significance: This quote is talking about the upper-class quince. How the fathers of the daughters give more things then the reglaur Quinceanera. Plus they treat daughters very well but sometimes when the daughters grows up to fast then the fathers starts to miss their daughters so much. Especially when they married that's the toughest to get throw that.
Personal Connection: When I watched t.v. shows just like this it's hard to trying not let them go do their own things. But I wouldn't really know because I haven't left my dad but if I did then I would know how it feels.
Quote: "There's a way in which teen pregnancy is an old issue."
Significance: Being pregnant at 15 years old isn't a big a shock. Because of people being pregnant it's so common no one cares. But being gay is a big in their community because no one talks about it.
Question: What do you think is being pregnant a big deal or being gay a bigger deal?

Quote #1:I definitely agree with you in the sense that I think that it would be very hard for my dad to let go of me now. It is also very easy, when you see a quinceanera, to determine whether the family is wealthy or not.
Question #1:No Question
Quote #2:I also agree with the fact that something is talked about more when it is present in your community. I disagree with the fact that being pregnant is not a big deal, especially when you are only fifteen, I think its a very big deal and something that should not have happened.
Question #2: Truthfully, I don't think that either of them can be compared to one another. Both of them are so different and I think that both situations are some what of a big deal, but being pregnant more so.
i agree because it must be hard for a father to give up his daughters to get married. It is also easy because you are happy for them to get married.
Pregnancy is a big issue nowadays, because teenagers are being careless and are being influenced by other children. It has also affected overpopulation.
I think they cannot be compared because they are very different.
