Hey,
today I first gave you your grades for the poems: congratulations to all of you for the good job you have accomplished. I will publish them on the blog as soon as I have scanned them.
Then, we moved on with the study of the text and here is what we said about the difficult situations Ana had to face:
Have a good holiday and Merry Christmas to you!
See you next year!

Difficult situations:
- She went to the Arizona desert
- She doesn’t have any ID
1) She had to find money to pay the smuggler/coyote[i].
• Helpful people: her sister gave her 1000 dollars.
• Opponent: poverty in Mexico – find a reliable smuggler
2) She had to cross the border in dreadful conditions. => Crawl – trudge – scrunch – land
• Helpful people: the smuggler
• Opponent: border patrol – the climate
3) She had to find a job and earn money.
• Helpful people: Christina, a teacher who employed her.
• Opponent: immigration services
4) She had to hide from the police / border patrol.
5) She had to climb the social ladder.
6) She had to abandon her children.
• Helpful people: her mother
• “Opponent”: far from her children and family psychological problems.
I hope you're having great holidays and that Santa Claus will come and spoil you with gifts.
Take care,
M. Hattais.
PS: how come you uploaded the lesson for Alexandra ?

Happy New Year to you and I'll see you on Tuesday.
Take care,
M. Hattais.
