In Pedro's story, he writes and tells us of how his family is from Mexico and the history behind how his grandfather establishing a small town in Mexico. I remember this one story she told me about how my grandparents started a village that is now well known.
"I remember this one story she told me about how my grandparents started a village that is now well known."Pedro's family story tells of how his family came to be in his hometown and his families hometown of Mexico. Later in the story, he talks about mini-stories that his cousins used to tell him about La Llorona and the Devil. I can relate to those same small stories my family once told me.
In Marco's family story, he talks about how his grandfather was really from El Salvador and how he moved to Honduras when he was really young. The thing that I related to with Marco's story was that his grandfather died when he was only three years old and he never really got the chance to meet him.
"I did not even know my grandfather was from El Salvador, and I found out years after of his death. I never got to spend much time with him. I have only one memory of him with me. I was too young to remember more about him. He died when I was three years old."I can relate to Marco's story because for a while when I was younger, I never really knew who I was in terms of race. Finally, at some point in my childhood, I learned the difference between my family's ethnicity and my father's ethnicity. I learned that my father was Salvadorian and I later learned that I have a Spanish background. At the same time, I never got to meet my dad's father. I never got the chance to meet him and spend time with him like other kids do.
Our cultures each interact. We are all Latinos and we have similar backgrounds. If I were to actually sit down with both Pedro and Marco, then we would each find that we have many simmiilar things in common. I like the feeling of being able to relate to two other people based on our cultural background.
