Appendix A unit 1

1. In a paragraph,explain what Clark means when he says that,in America,the language seems to make him feel as if he is ''looking in a mirror where everything appears the same,except it's reveres.''Include incidents Clark describes when he discovers a word means something quit different from what he thought it did.

Clark thinks that words in America mean the same as in his home land.One day one of his neighbors Mr.Gabinsky greeted him by saying''Hey there,young boy,how is the family doing today?''Clark responded him.Later that day his other neighbor from up stars told him that he shouldn't let Mr.Gabinsk call him boy.Since boy or girl are words that were used to call African American during slavery.So the next time that he saw Mr.Gabinsky he confronted him.But Mr.Gabinsky too did not now that the word ''boy'' meant here in America.He was from Hungary,he too used the word ''boy'' to talk to younger adults.On another occasion Clark was looking for a ''shop''that sold milk.Since over in Jamaica shop is were they see milk.But here in America when you say shop it means you are going to buy clothes.If you were going to by milk you would have to go to a grocery store.Words can have double meaning to theme is all depends were you use it and were you are.

What do you like about your homwtown ?What things would you change?

Well the town that I've lived all my life is Gridley ,California .One of the things that i like about Gridley is that everyone knows each other.But it sucks when something bad happens everyone now about it though Gridley is a small town we still have fast food places and a two coffee shops.There are only a few things that i would chance .I would like that the Hispanic kids that lives there wouldn't get involved with the gangs.There isn't a lot of places for the teens to hang out after school .Another things is that hardly any people drive by the down town.The only time you see people is when its the red suspenders parade thats when every one is all over walking around.

A perfect weather day ,what would i do ?

A perfect weather day for me is when the sun is out.There would be no clouds or wind just the sun.The temperature would be 85 degrees.In the mooring that day i would be watering the garden and reading the newspaper and out seating in the porch.Now in the afternoon my sister and i would most likely take a long walk around the Chico state campus.My sister most likely be taking pictures of the flowers and birds that she spots while we walk.In the night time i would get up on the roof and look out and stare at the full moon.The temperature would be a little more colder at night.That would be my perfect day.

what kind of music do you like?

I like music a lot, i always have my mp3 with me or the radio on in my room.I usually lesson to Latin music since my first language is Spanish.In Latin culture reggeton is very popular with the young people it has a cache beet that makes you want to keep on dancing. Also i like durangense music since my family comes from the state of Durango ,Mexico.The durangense music is like country but fast beet any one can dance it . You have to dance it with a partner.It's really easy to dance it.It's just moving your hips to the sides and moving your feet back and forth.For that past five years that kind of dancing has grown threw out Every time a group that is durangense comes to the area of Chico , my friends and i go dance .We have a lot of fun.I once in a while listen to hip-hop but no usually.
