Hey. I recently read the first 6 chapters of the book, Breaking Through by Francisco Jiménez for a school assignment. The book was extremely captivating because it was based on the author's experience as an immigrant. My favorite part was when the author and his brother had to adapt to American culture by learning American songs and even how to dance. In my opinion, they worked even harder than most American kids just to fit in. This book is all about Francisco's life as a Mexican Immigrant. It's a eally good book and i hope you have the chance to check it out.Monday, September 1, 2008

Can you relate to wanting to "fit in"? When I was in high school, I think the craziest thing I did to fit in was eat a bug... actually, now that I think about it, it wasn't really "fitting in" so much as "standing out" (but the effect was the same!).
