Ryan's Third Blog Post
The real life equivalent of the Farm Patrol in my opinion would be the border patrol along the Mexican/U.S. border. Bother patrol along their designated area's and make sure no people try to cross the border illegally. But the question is, why would you even try to cross the border? My guess is mainly to find a better life. Its just like in the book, when Celia is explaining her past, she seems to go on about how much better she heard life was in the U.S. then it was in Aztlan. The same applies in current times where the U.S. has a much better quality of life than Mexico which is basically Aztlan's equivalent. Most people don't illegally move to U.S. for no reason, the main reason is for a better life or to get back to family. Here is an article on American's and Mexican's illegally immigrating to either Mexico (American's) or the U.S. (Mexicans). Border hopping article

Your writing is a little hard to read, but i can get the just of what you are saying. Maybe just change the font type because its hard on the eyes.
ReplyDeleteGood work on the piece by using specific examples from real life and going into the mindset of why a person would go across the border. I think that you should add some examples from the book to prove celia said what she said. I also think that you should provide some detail on how hard life was in Aztlan that forced Celia to want to escape to the U.S. It would help if you could expand on why the americans don't want mexican coming into their country as it would add context to the book.
ReplyDeleteYou used really good proof and evidence and real life connections to back up your claims about what you think about immigration. Maybe have more examples from the book so that its not just real life connection but it also has information about the book.
