MARIQUITA: MARCH 30, 2011

IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE CHARACTERS IN THE NOVEL, WHO WOULD YOU BE AND HOW WOULD IT BE FOR YOU?

  1. If I was Mariquita, I would cry every day and night if I knew my husband was a POW. I wouldn't know how to deal with the invsion and seeing my husband being torchered constantly. I would hate to see my family in terror and that I can't do anything about it to make them feel better. Due to the fact that I would be scared and in terror myself. I wouldn't be able to deal with seeing my family be torn apart by Japanese, who think that they are dominant and stronger than the Chamorros. I would try to be strong for my family, husband, and children for every day that comes.

  2. If I was Mariquita, I would feel depressed every day and night. I would be wondering about Edward being in the prison. I think I would hurt myself. It's also right what she said she would do. She rather die than to sleep with the Japanese leader. Thats what I would do to. I'll rather die. I would do the same thing what Mariquita did in the story.

    Yups, I agree on you with your statement. Thats what I would do if my husband was in prison. I would cry every day and night.

  4. if i was chris in this novel, i would be scared, but try my best to not show it. i would try to act all grown up and be the man of the house since eddie is gone. if i was chris i would comfort my mom as much as i can every day and when eddie comes, i will tell him how i steped up and was the man of the house while he was away. i would hold in all the pain that i might endure just because i dont want my familly to feel sad, even though i was like 4 years old at the time. i would pretend i dont know whats going on and that i was happy, even though it kills me to see my family hurt like this.

  5. @Darlyn your comment was nice, i agree with you. mariquita knows that eddie is alive and she was right to feel like that. if i was in eddies position, i would rather she lived, but its up to her...
