Time Zones.
I want you guys to realize something throughout the book, especially in "Snow" (166-167) where Sister Zoe was teaching Yolanda about the Cuban Missle Crisis. Yolanda was obviously scared from hearing about the missle crisis, but how else do you think it effected her life, and her familie's lives. Give me one example from the text, and give me one of your own personal thoughts.

I think this probably scared Yolanda in more than one way. Her whole family was in another country and she didn't really know what was going on there. Her family had run into dangers in their country and she was probably afraid that more people would be caught or hurt due to their political beliefs. When people are away from each other, they miss and worry about each other.
ReplyDeleteWell, their lives, well, from Yolanda's point of view, changed dramatically as they had a more strict curefue than ussuall, and they also had to go through daily bomb shelters. This was only the children's life; the parent's life must have been a lot worse. This is so because the kids had a small understanding of what happened, the parents knew a lot more. They knew what would happen if Cuba fired their missiles, and that made them more afraid because they completely understood the vilosity of that crisis.

It also effected her life because she had to come into a new country while this was happening, not knowing english, and had to learn about the missile crisis; which in fact did scare her because she screamed "bomb" because she's never seen snow before so she thought it was a bomb.
