Different people react to change in different ways. Some people embrace it. Others avoid it at all costs. Most people, though, handle changes in life, even drastic ones, in different ways at different times. In other words, a person’s first reaction to change won’t necessarily be their last.
Esperanza and her mother have been forced to leave behind everything about their old way of life. In the chapter you just read, they have finally made it to California. Now, they have to figure out how to live in this new land.
Locate your file containing this module’s journal assignment, paste the prompt below at the end of the document, and label the entry with this lesson’s title. Then, type a response to the prompt.
Journal
What kinds of challenges do you expect Esperanza to face in her new life in California? How will her life there be different from her life in Mexico?
When you have written a complete and detailed answer to the journal prompt, save the file so that you can open it again for the next lesson with a journal assignment. (You will submit your journal to your teacher for grading once or twice during the module.)
