how does sacrifies influence/ impact the family?
in life you do have to make a lot of sacrafises sometimes that might affect oneself or family and it is painfull to do. for example having to quit school because you to support your family that can most defitnally impact them in so many different ways. Anohter example can be sometimes parents cannot afford to give there kids everything they want so they have to make sacrafises, but it also makes children learn how it is not easy in life to survive and make them appreciate what they have.In Rain of Gold Juan was in Montana and was away from his family and his mom wanted Juan to come back home she would pray that he would come back home. Juan made that sacrafies to be away from his family for a long period of time. He was away for six yrs. his mom wanted him to come for christmas so she lied that she was really sick and she was praying and hoping that Juan would come back. Which he did end up coming back and promised his mom he would never leave her sight again. Eventhough he was unhappy that he was going to leave his businness in Montana. In life you have to make a lot of sacrafises and theres always going to be obstecles but together you get through it.

  1. i really like your examples and they are very similar on what we red in Rain Of Gold. I'd like to comment further on your point that how Juan Salvador feel about living his family? i think that you have a good point saying that he feels unhappy, but maybe there are more points of view.

  3. You made a very clear point of the sacrificies that sometimes one has to make in order to help the family. I really liked the conncetion that you made with the text and hoe Juan had to comeback and leave everything behind in order to comeback and see his mom "one last time".

  4. You have great examples of how sacrifices affect families, but when you said "Juan made that sacrifice to be away from his family for a long period of time." I don't think it was a sacrifice for him because he felt good about himself, he was doing good and had a life there, like u said "his mom wanted him to come for christmas so she lied that she was really sick and she was praying and hoping that Juan would come back." If being away from his family was such a sacrifice for him why would he have waited 6 years before he went to see his mom after they left Arizona?
    Anyways Great Job
