Only Daughter Sandra Cisneros from Latina Womens Voic.docxhopeaustin33688
Only Daughter
Sandra Cisneros
from Latina: Women's Voices From the Borderlands. Edited by Lillian Castillo-Speed. New York:
Touchstone/Simon & Schuster, 1995.
Once, several years ago, when I was
just starting out my writing career, I was
asked to write my own contributor’s note for
an anthology1 I was part of. I wrote: “I am the
only daughter in a family of six sons. That
explains everything.”
Well, I’ve thought about that ever
since, and yes, it explains a lot to me, but for
the reader’s sake I should have written: “I am
the only daughter in a Mexican family of six
sons.” Or even: “I am the only daughter of a
Mexican father and a Mexican-American
mother.” Or: “I am the only daughter of a
working-class family of nine.” All of these
had everything to do with who I am today.
I was/am the only daughter and only a
daughter. Being an only daughter in a family
of six sons forced me by circumstance to
spend a lot of time by myself because my
brothers felt it beneath them to play with a
girl in public. But that aloneness, that
loneliness, was good for a would-be writer—
it allowed me time to think and think, to
imagine, to read and prepare myself.
Being only a daughter for my father
meant my destiny would lead me to become
someone’s wife. That’s what he believed. But
when I was in the fifth grade and shared my
plans for college with him, I was sure he
understood. I remember my father saying,
“Que bueno, mi’ha, that’s good.” That meant a
lot to me, especially since my brothers
thought the idea hilarious. What I didn’t
realize was that my father thought college
was good for girls—good for finding a
husband. After four years in college and two
more in graduate school, and still no
husband, my father shakes his head even
now and says I wasted all that education.
In retrospect2, I’m lucky my father
believed daughters were meant for husbands.
1 anthology: collection of stories and other literature in a
book.
2 retrospect: thinking about things in the past
It meant it didn’t matter if I majored in
something silly like English. After all, I’d find a
nice professional eventually, right? This allowed
me the liberty to putter about embroidering3 my
little poems and stories without my father
interrupting with so much as a “What’s that
you’re writing?”
But the truth is, I wanted him to
interrupt. I wanted my father to understand
what it was I was scribbling, to introduce me as
“My only daughter, the writer.” Not as “This is
only my daughter. She teaches.” Es maestra—
teacher. Not even profesora.
In a sense, everything I have ever written
has been for him, to win his approval even
though I know my father can’t read English
words, even though my father’s only reading
includes the brown-ink Esto sports magazines
from Mexico City and the bloody ¡Alarma!
magazines that feature yet another sighting of La
Virgen de Guadalupe on a to.

You are to interview a woman 50 and older and write up the interview.docxshericehewat
You are to interview a woman 50 and older and write up the interview
in a 5 page MLA paper. You ask questions intended to elicit information about her life
and how it relates to the history of women in the late 20th century. Your paper
should be normal margins, 10-12 pt. font, typed and double-spaced. It should
include the approximate age of your interviewee—it does not have to include her
name.
EXAMPLE QUESTIONS ..........
What’s your first, most vivid memory? Going to my grandma and grandpa’s farm and making grandma walk me out to the outhouse for fear of a mean bannie rooster would peck me to death. He was afraid of grandma.
What was the apartment or house like that you grew up in? How many bedrooms did it have? Bathrooms? I lived with my mother and father mostly in a house in the city that had 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. I had to share a room with my older brother that was upstairs.
What was your bedroom like? Very simple. It had 2 beds made of feathers, a desk with a lamp and one dresser for our clothes. Dallas (my brother got the bottom 2 and I got the top 2)
Can you describe the neighborhood you grew up in? Not really. Every chance I got I went to grandma and grandpas and spent time with them. They lived deep in the country. I had one friend out there that lived about 3 miles away on the next farm. His name was Carl.
Tell me about your parents. Where were they born? When were they born? What memories do you have of them? Both parents were born in Richmond, IN. Memories include more of my mother than my father. He was a drunk that stayed out all the time. He only came home when he was ready to pass out or to beat us.
Who was more strict: your mother or your father? Do you have a vivid memory of something you did that you were disciplined for? Since mom was the main one around I would say that she was more strict. I remember one instance when I was about 16 and mom had kicked me out of the house because she was forced to work with dad being gone all the time and I was telling her that I no longer wanted to take care of my little brother because I felt like I was his mother rather than her and that I didn’t want to do anymore of the house work. It was her house she should have to clean it. She kicked me out. I was sitting on the porch crying and dad came home (sober for once) and sat on the porch with me, got me calmed down and offered to give me a ride to grandma and grandpa’s.
Did your parents have a good marriage? No they had a horrible marriage.
How did your family earn money? How did your family compare to others in the neighborhood – richer,
poorer, the same? My family earned money from my mother working in a diner. Dad worked in a mill but we rarely saw his money. We did alright but I would say that we were on the poorer end of society.
What kinds of things did your family spend money on? The necessities and that was it.
How many brothers and sisters do you have? When were they born? What memories do yo.
With the booklet Touching the Right Chord (written for children between 6-10 years old but most adults like it a lot as well), we want to show the special bond between a little girl and her Spanish grandparents. We would like to contribute to a positive perception of people with dementia.
The books shows that a child can keep a good relationship with a family member who is demented. Next to that it shows that old people, also the ones who are not originally Dutch, play an active role in our society.
This book has been made possible by the support of LIZE, policy adviser of the central government on Southern European communities. We hope this book will help to create more knowledge about dementia, more understanding for the people who have the disease, and more support for the partners, children, friends and relatives who take care of them.
The net result of this book goes to the work of Alzheimer Nederland, a national organization which provides information for people with Alzheimer and their family and friends. The booklet is written by Yvonne Witter (Aedes-Actiz Knowlegde Center of Housing and Care) and illustrated by Yon Prüst.
The English translation is only digital available. Hard copies are written in Dutch.

The Train from Hate (1994)John Hope FranklinMy pilgrimage from.docxchristalgrieg
The Train from Hate (1994)
John Hope Franklin
My pilgrimage from racial apprehension—read just plain confusion—to racial tolerance was early and brief. I was 7 years old, and we lived in the all-black town of Rentiesville, Oklahoma. My father had moved to Tulsa where he hoped to have a law practice that would make it possible for him to support his family. Meanwhile, my mother, sister, and I would occasionally make the journey to Checotah, six miles away, to shop for supplies.
One day, we went down, as usual, by railroad. My mother flagged the train and we boarded. It so happened that when the train stopped, the only place we could enter was the coach reserved for white people. We did not take notice of this, and as the train picked up speed, the conductor entered and told us that we would have to move to the “colored” coach. My mother explained that we were not responsible for where the coach stopped and we had no other alternative to climbing aboard and finding seats as soon as possible. She told him that she could not risk the possible injury of her and her children by going to the “colored” coach while the train was moving. The conductor seemed to agree and said that he would signal to the engineer to stop the train. When the train came to a halt, the conductor did not guide us to the coach for African Americans. Instead, he commanded us to leave the train. We had no alternative to stepping off the train into the woods and beginning the trek back to Rentiesville.
As we trudged along, I began to cry. Taking notice of my sadness, my mother sought to comfort me by saying that it was not all that far to Rentiesville. I assured her that I did not mind the walk, but that man, the conductor, was so mean. Why would he not permit us to ride the train to Checotah?
My mother then gave me my first lesson in race relations. She told me that the laws required racial separation, but that they did not, could not, make us inferior in any way. She assured me that the conductor was not superior because he was white, and I was not inferior because I was black. I must always remember that simple fact, she said. Then she made a statement that is as vivid and clear to me today as the day she uttered it. Under no circumstances, she said, should I be upset or distressed because someone sought to demean me. It took too much energy to hate or even to fight intolerance with one’s emotions. She smiled and added that in going home we did not have far to walk.
5 It would be too much to claim that my mother’s calm talk removed a burden from my shoulders. But it is not too much to say that her observations provided a sound basis for my attitudes and conduct from that day to this. At that early age, I had made an important journey. In the future, I remembered that I should not waste my time or energy lamenting the inability of some members of society to take me as I was. Instead, I would use my energies to make me a better person and to distance myself from the perpetrato ...

3. Sthephen King
People love a good horror, or scary, story. That’s why Frankenstein and the
stories of Edgar Allen Poe are still favorites. And that’s why Stephen King has so many
readers. He knows how to scare us and tell a good story at the same time. He has done
that in more than thirty books, many of them are best seller.
Stephen was born in Portland, Maine, in 1947. When he was only two, his
father left the family. Ater that, Stephen and his older brother David, lived with their
mother. They lived for a while in different parts of the United States, but then they moved
back to Maine. Stephen’s mother didn’t get much help from Stephen’s father or from her
family. She always had to work to pay for the food and the rent. At different times,
sheworked in a bakery, in a laundry, and in a home for sick or old people.
Because their mother had to work, the boys spent a lot of time with babysitters.
When the boys were very young, there were sometimes problems with the babysitters.
One babysitter made Stephen eat sevent fried eggs when he was four years old. He got
very sick, and that babystter was sent away. Another babysitter didn’t always watch the
boys carefully. One day, six years old David climbed out the bathroom window and onto
the roof. Stephen stood at the bathroom window and watched him. He wondered if his
brother was going to fall. Finally, a neighbor called the police. That babysitter lost her job,
too.
When he was in first grade, Stephen got sick, and he had problems with his
throat and his ears. He missed most of the school year. During those long months at
home, he read many books. He especially liked books abaout adventures. Then he
began to write stories. His first stories were taken from camic books. He showed one to
his mother, and she told him to write a story by himself. So he did. He wrote a story that
was four pages long. It was about magic animals that rode around in an old car and
helped little kids. When his mother read it, she said it was good enough to be in a book.
That made him extremely happy. He wrote four more stories about the magic animals,
and his mother him twenty fove cents for each one his first mone from writing.
