: A quinceanera is a coming of age celebration for Hispanic girls and is celebrated at age 15. It's kind of like the American "sweet sixteen" party.

Part of it involves a dance between the young lady and her daddy.The celebration often reflects the family's economic and social status, and has become a way for Hispanics in the U.S. to maintain their heritage even as they become more American.

Amongst Hispanic Catholics, the Quinceanera carries a religious meaning. The young lady affirms her faith, the gifts given to her are religous in nature, and the celebration often includes a blessing from her priest.

Following the religous celebration is a large reception that often resembles a wedding. In fact, it's common for the young woman's dress to resemble a wedding gown. She wears flats and carries a doll that has been made to resemble her. The doll represents her last doll of childhood. Her first dance is with the Chambelan, a young man who has been chosen to be her escort for the evening. After she dances with her father, then the father exchanges her flats for heels and takes away the doll, symbolizing that she has relinquished her childhood and has become a woman. She then gives her hair piece to the next Quinceanera to be, and her godparents crown her.

Amongst Hispanic Catholics, it is generally the duty of the godparents to make all of the arrangements and pay for the party and everything. This is representative of their responsibility in overseeing the religous upbringing of their goddaughter. Amongst non-Catholic Hispanics, this is all generally handled by her family.

Read the excerpt from dominique’s personal narrative. tired of waiting for the bus, which was late for the fifth day in a row, i sat leafing through an old magazine i had stuffed in my purse the previous night. it was terribly warm for a september afternoon, and the sun cast fleeting shadows on the bus stop sign with each car that passed. i wondered when the weather would get cooler and when the new bus driver would start arriving on time. it was about then that i first noticed the apparent agitation of the man sitting next to me. finally, the bus arrived and ambled to a gradual stop directly in front of the restless man. the doors widened, and the bus driver greeted the man with his usual banter in his usual monotone. "good afternoon. how are you today? ” when writing the next few lines of dialogue, dominique should be certain that the lines provide clues about what will happen later on in the narrative. contain made-up details that make the story more exciting. include everyday language that seems real and natural. use precise words that make both men sound educated.

1. at the conclusion of chapter 13, the monster realizes that he has none of the qualities or possessions that human beings value, and so he worries the he will be forever miserable. he says, “oh, that i had for ever remained in my native wood, nor known nor felt beyond the sensations of hunger, thirst, and heat! ” this statement recalls one made by victor frankenstein in chapter 10: “if our impulses were confined to hunger, thirst, and desire, we might nearly be free; but now we are moved by every wind that blows, and a chance word or scene that that word may convey to us.” questions: what do these two statements suggest about the impact of knowledge? how do the statements affect the way readers view the monster and victor?
