Immigrant Project Reflection

My literature circle book was What is the What. This was a good book because the way it was written kept your interest throughout the whole book instead of just being good at the beginning of the book. I was okay with the book was really long so sometimes I would fall asleep reading my book. I learned a lot of things about African culture during this book like how their kids had to work at a really young age so they can help their parents afford a house and food for them. At the beginning of the book it was very weird because these people were robbing him but he mad up random names for them because he didn't know who they were.I liked blogging better because when I try to write I always get writers block and forget what I was just about to say.
For my painting, I chose to do a cover recreation of the original cover. I put Africa in the middle surrounded by four symbols from the book. It is similar to a crest. The background are colored more darker colors because it shows his hardships in Africa and America.
My interviews went well. Sometimes though I couldn't understand what she was saying because she still has her accent from Guyana. The first interview helped me out with all the other interviews because after that interview it was easier to make up questions. In the interviews i felt so personal with her because she told me that she only visits Guyana if one of her family members die. That is pretty harsh circumstances to be going back to were you were born and raised.
