So far in the book, Sofia in my opinion has not learned anything from her actions. She continues to be disrespectful to h parents and not adhering to their advise. For example, in the beginning of the novel, Sofia was a Domicaican woman that had values of the typical "dominican." She always had boyfriends but she would never had thought of having sex with him in a premarital way. Otto, her lover always asks for sex and he gives it up to him because of the American influence around her. She has not learned from her mistakes clearly. She is constantly arguing with her father over things that are obviously wrong. Also, she does not take the chance to sit down and explain to her father the things that are going on with her but she constantly insists on arguing with her. Well from this section we can realize that Sofia's dad is very supercilious and he does not make her openly date who she wants which leads to conflict ahahaha. This section was prosaic and does not go in great depth with the characters, thus making me lose interest in the novel like Sofia.
From reading this book, i have realized there is only one 'positive' , Sofia marring Otto. From here marrying

STERIOTYPES
1. My personal belief is that woman and men are not equal. Sike! First, I am going to discuss what is exacted of woman in 2012. I feel like woman now are stepping up in life are are taking more responsibility for "man" like jobs. As the years progressed, woman are starting to become more involve in politics, they are CEO's etc. , this a good year for woman to step up! In contrast to woman, i feel men are now taking the jobs of a stereotypical woman. Men are now stay home people who go grocer shopping and do chores while the mom is out getting the bread for the family. This is a quite interesting turn in events because throughout history men were inferior to woman but not the roles are switched! When a man thinks of a woman, they think automatically SANDWICH, COOK, WATCH Children, which are stereotypes that have seem passed down over time. But! IF you are a realist and pay attention to life, men will ook at woman who are strong people who love and care for whatever that do but they are very emotional. On the flip-side, i feel like woman look at men as strong figures who should set the rules and stay strict to what they believe. In addition, woman think men should be loving igures who stick up for their families and have sexy bodies! (heheh) The difficulties of being a woman in this age is that men think that they are worthless and incapable of doing tough strengthens occupations. While the difficulties of being a man is that we have too much expected from us from woman.
2. IF Carlos had the opportunity to break Sopias collarbone, he would defiantly jump for it! Sophia has been very arrogant, disrespect and sloppy!

3 Article Thingy
Article 1-
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7572303/mia-bad-girls-super-bowl-halftime-show-impossibility-selling-out
First to start, i feel like mia is entirely overrated but this article is completely biased. The arthus is talking as if she knows Mia personally. She needs to get her facts straight before she starts making internet sites discussing it. This article is interesting because i am a fan of music and have been listening to MIA for a couple of years and i found it funny that she sold out during this super bowl concert because she in my opinion is not good. In addition, this author brought out a side to the concert which i never thought about before which is very interesting. I would recommend this article to someone who loves to read because this is a pretty lengthy article which took up about 10 minuties of my life to read. I personally do not like to read but if you do , you would love this. This kind of clever paradox has always been fundamental to the idea of M.I.A. The fact that she didn't immediately fit into any ready-made categories lent her an air of opposition. She was a pop freedom fighter, uttering radical sayings and writing songs about pulling up the poor.
Article 2-
I'm not a big fan of nuclear. Noone has figured out how to safely store *any* of the spent fuel. People talk about long term storage, but noone has even tried to do it. If storage costs (or the long term health costs) are included then nuclear fuel is decidedly un-economic.Nuclear weapons are pretty nasty too, but if you don't have one, then it won't be too long till the Americans come and blanket your country with semi-Depleted Uranium like they did to Iraq, which is not better. Building a nuclear weapon is an ugly solution, but probably necessary. I'd be less concerned by nuclear weapons in the hands of the Iraqi state than in the hands of the Americans or the Israelis. This article brought out how important it is for america to stay out of forighn affir. Americca loes to get in everyones life an dmess it up whle we have plant of promblems in america as it is. also, I am an American. While I am not happy about any country possessing nuclear weapons, I am not sure there is much anyone can do to stop it. Iran claims it is not interested in a nuclear weapons program.while I would like them to find a less dangerous source of energy. with dwindling fossil fuels alternative energy sources are a necessity.
Article 3-
I agree completely with this article, he is a very intelligent ball player and thats the best part of his game. I am very familiar with basketball and can connect to exactly what this article is saying. THis article is no way biased, it is all complete truth and is written based of statistics. I mean yes he can drive well, and yes he can hit the clutch 3 but his intelligence is of a seasoned veteran already, its scary to think of his veteran like ways when he's in his 30s with a few rings (hopefully). I am a Miami heat fan and have been for years (before LBJ and Bosh etc) so its not like I have a considerable like for jeremy Lin, but ye I'm aware of his talents on the floor. His turnovers will be cut down, but like norris call( a rookie), he's not afraid of failure and trying things. This will only make him a better player. If knicks had better defense, they would be a scary team, and I say scary because I am a miami heat fan. With defence, the Knicks could have a chance at beating the heat for the title run.

Questions On LIFE!
1. Of course the person is more interesting than Albert Einstein. Personally i would rather marvel at someone pulling a bunny out of their hat than see E=MC my whole life. Albert Einstein helped in the creation of the Manhattan project which led to the deaths of thousands in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I would rather the man that is less harmless and does something that makes me laugh and entertained every day.
5. I would defiantly have my the person attempt to break my soul mate's collar bone. I would not allow it to happen though. My reasoning for it not happening is simply because, i will set up a trap for the person with the wrench. I would have a bow and arrow and shoot him in his knee caps ever three years. One a serious note, I would swallow the pill, because even if every song will sound like that Alice band, i will still get the lyrics from the song which has the deeper meaning.
7. The thyroid cancer will be on the front page because, IT IS THE PRESIDENT. I would not want to hear any nonsense about a LOCKNESS Monster. The president is also African Americana so i feel like more people would be sympathetic for him. In addition, I Feel like science is all witch-craft and will not hold as of a significance as the president would.
12. I would pay him NOTHING! I am sexy how i am. I do not feel like a person should get paid to "look" better. In my own opinion i feel like people with low self esteem would pay money to look prettier but we should all accept how god has made us and go along in life and be grateful!
16. Yes, i would definitely watch it. I feel like if i am going to be obsessed with it, i should start early and learn about the game.In addition, my swag will be impeccable because none of my friends watch Canadian football and i would be the first one. I could possible start a revolution in American sports!
19. I would tell my friend that he was snoring very loud and was constantly fluctuating. In addition, i would tell him that the room smelt soo bad from his gas that i almost suffocated and that i had to kick him in his ribs so that he could wake up and stop this raw, disgusting smell in my room.
20. I would rather watch the Movie and the interviews on my life. I always found it interesting the way that people describe my behavior and my influence on him. I would get more from the interviews because it would inform me on how much of asset i am to people and how they could not live without me in their life.
