Draw a connection between at least three different stories from our families' histories (you can include your own project, or not). What pattern or theme can you find running through these three? What does the connection reveal to you?
Family history is essential. Learning about the experiences past generations faced gives perspective to the younger generations. In addition, realizing the connections and patterns between others stories and history, symbolizes simulation and equal, traditional experiences as a whole.
Here is Andy Lau’s Family History:
My mom described how their family had to go to the local public shower rooms that were created for people who did not have showers or toilets in their houses. She described these as dirty and filthy places that she hated going to. Instead, my mom knew a friend who had a bathroom in their house with running water. She would go shower and use the restroom of one of her friends who was wealthy and had numerous bathrooms in their house. She said that she was very lucky and her parents and sister envied her because she got to shower in a clean and safe place.
Camal Saleh’s Fam History:
Growing up in one of the poorest Arab countries in the world, life in Yemen was not easy. My parents both grew up in the same village located a little more than a hundred miles south of the capital, Sana’a. Not a lot of money flowed in and out of this area so the income level was real low.
Grizzel Escobar:
My mom side of the family had very little money. My mom’s parents worked day and night at the market trying to sell fishes, so that there is enough food for everyone in the table. (Just imagine, having ten children and just having the right amount of money to feed and make them attend public school. Is a lot to handle.) The money was enough for every one's food, for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. Including the some of money to pay going to the education of my aunts and uncles.
All these excerpts connect in a special way: poverty and low income. I can easily visualize that education and other resources were a challenge for their family as well. While reading each of their blog post, near the end of them, they all were glad and greatly appreciated their parents diligence and patience. Furthermore, each of the stories i read, have different cultures and backgrounds and its kind-of neat to see how although we are from contrasting areas, we still have similar relations and thoughts.
