Quote #1:
"Neither of us had never been to the Bahamas, but how can you go wrong with white sandy beaches, warm water, and swaying palm trees?"
~Firoozeh page 167
Significance:
The significance of this quote is that Firoozeh still keeps her Iranian ways, but she also tries new things. Firoozeh and Francois liked to take time of from their everyday life, so they could relax and spend time together. It was a nice bonding time.
Personnel Connection:
I can connect to this quote because sometimes I need a break from my normal everyday life. It can get stressful and sometimes I just need a break, so I go on vacation.
Question:
Do you have a favorite vacation spot? Why is it your favorite?
Quote #2:
"In Abadan, we never had to think about money, not because we were rich, but because the National Iranian Oil Company took care of all our needs."
~Firoozeh page 180
Significance:
This quote is important because Firoozeh still makes ties back to her home country. She tells you the differences between Abadan and America. It is a good way to learn the differences about both countries.
Personnel Connection:
Since I have never been to Abadan, it is a good way for me to find out their lifestyle and how it is different from how I live. You can learn a lot from just reading little sentences.
Question:
What is a big difference you noticed between here and Abadan?

Responce 1: I thought that your quote that you chose was really good. I think this because I could also agree that sometimes you just need a break from life and just relax.
Question 1: I have 2 favorite vacation spots and that is Puerto Penasco and Bahia de los Anjelas. I like these 2 spots because there both really good places to relax and also go fishing because I love me the fishing.
Responce 2: I also like this quote that you chose to. The reason why I like this quote is because you are right it shows the big differences between how they live and how we live.
Question 2: Well there are a lot of big differences. But to me I think that the most important one is that in Abadan you dont need much to survive because since they dont have all the things that we have they have found out how to make a living and I think that really there the smart ones because they dont have almost any technology and and manage to make a good living,but here in America I think to some people they would go crazy if starbucks all of a sudden dissapeared.
