Why is Mamacita homesick?

Mamacita, as we know as the big mama of the man across the street. She came here because of her husband who works here, he saved his money to bring her and baby boy here so that she wouldn’t feel lonely. However, she only stays in her room and never came out with the feeling of missing her home so much. Someone said that because she can’t speak English, and even some said because she’s too fat to get down from the stairs. Somehow, maybe, she’s just missing her pink house from the photograph. Whatever the reason, she never came down and wouldn’t so.
First of all, as in my opinion, I think that she’s homesick because she couldn’t adjust to the people who lived there. As well as her basic standard of speaking English is so low which means that she can’t communicate with others and it makes her to feel more lonely because she usually speaks in Spanish in her own country. Based on the story, the author said that she can speak only eight words and this might be the reason that she’s afraid to speak in English. She’s afraid that others would laugh when she speaks and being inferiority finally.
Some said that because she’s too fat to come down from the third floors. The reason is that, so many people were talking about her body shape and characteristics which almost all in negative ways. This might hurt her feeling and feel shame on her and wouldn’t dare to come down to meet other people. The more rumors people said about her, the more she would feel bad about it and reminds her about her home in her own country.
The last possible reason might be because of the photograph of her home in her country. Her pink house with lots of light, this might, somehow, motivated her lots of being sick at the place she’s living at the moment and missing her own country. She sits all day long listening to the Spanish radio thinking about her home and singing along with the songs which also makes others feel disgusted on her. Other people might not understand her feeling but, some might know how lonely we would feel when we have left our own home, our own places to live somewhere else for some purposes. She’s a woman for somehow who has feeling like others, well, it’s not wrong.
Mamacita is just an ordinary woman who has sensitive feeling like others’ women. She’s missing her home so much with some reasons which other people who never left their own places might not understand her feeling. The feeling in which we have to live somewhere else with different languages which we never get used to it is so hard to get adjusted. People made the rumors about her in bad way such like fat and smelly, no one could accept this whether it’s true or not, somehow it’s so mean to that person. However, I think that the main reason is because of the language she uses in usual which is Spanish. People here usually use English and as her skills, she can speak only for eight words and it makes her afraid to speak because she doesn’t know how. Missing home is not wrong, however, she shouldn’t make others feel disgusted with her country by turning on radio and singing homesick songs from her country for all day long.

English essay the reason why short story doesn't need to follow grammar rules. [Kasidit Cherdchuchart Oody 10M ]

When we are writing a short story, the story come from our imagination, so there will be some words or sentence that didn’t follow grammar rules. Mostly short story are fiction and many part will mostly come from imagination. There are some words in short story which we can’t fine on dictionary. Some people think it’s not really matters about grammar when reading. The writer is another reason why there are grammar mistake. But for some people they didn’t care about grammar rules because they know it’s a fiction story.

Novel like Harry Potter also contain grammar error. As we read Harry Potter we will see that most parts of the story came from imagination. So there will be some words we don’t understand when we read Harry Potter. Many children learn to improve their writing and reading by reading fiction story. But most of fiction story contain many grammar mistake, so it would be hard for children to know that their grammar is wrong.

In short story some people didn’t pat attention about grammar. Some people think it’s not really matters, because they just want to have fun with the story and follow with their imagination. The writer may sometime make mistake in grammar, I think the writer didn’t want to have any grammar error in their story but no author will catch every error.

When we read a short story, it would be hard for you to find mistake because your mind will only be with the story not the grammar. In short fiction story, the rule of grammar is not important as the author’s writing rule. People usually concentrate on story not on grammar. So short story doesn’t matter on grammar but the ways the author wrote the story.

Now we know that writing a fiction story doesn't need to follow grammar rules. The first reason is because the readers concentrate more on the story more than grammar mistake. Short story mostly relay on imagination, so short story mostly is fiction. When we talk about fiction story, the first word that comes in our mind is it is not true. So the words author use also will come from imaginary, which we couldn’t find the meaning in the dictionary. This is the reason why short story doesn't need to follow grammar rules.

Do you like Mamacita? Am I? - by Oat 10M

Do you like Mamacita? Am I? - by Oat 10M

No Speak English is one of the few stories that I read recently. It’s not as much fun as it could hold my breath, actually quiet boring, but do get my attention. When looking at big mama Mamacita, I think she’s not so goon person so I really don’t like her. She doesn’t care how much her husband work for family, doesn’t care to be adaptive, and doesn’t care about her child’s future. I don’t like this kind of person who being too stuck to something without caring others.

First of all, I don’t know why she doesn’t appreciate how her husband works so hard for family. Her husband worked two jobs, left early and came back late everyday just to keep family together. Mamacita seems doesn’t understand why he work hard for. That’s for her family, for their child, and yet for her to have those wonderful shoes but she still complain. She’s not the one who work hard for family, as a good wife she should do her best job take care of house works not just sit down there and sing a songs.

Mamacita is a kind of bullheaded person. She doesn’t care to make friends, to greet people, or at least she should try speaking English! That’s would make things easier and their family could live happily. Because of negative attitude, Mamacita often had a fight with her husband, she cried, but that’s because of her. I don’t know why she would make things more difficult, just open her mind and her heart everything would be fine.

Now a day English is important because it’s widely spoken around the world, by refuse it means you may light-off your future just like Mamacita want for her son. I really don’t know why she hates English so much, she may say no to it, but that doesn’t mean that her son should follow her too. He’s too young and things he receives will surely have a great impact in his life. If Mamacita don’t let him speak English, her child will lost a great opportunity to have a good job to work. A good mother shall care about her child’s future more than just her stubbornness.

As a conclusion, I would like to repeat again that I really don’t like Mamacita. I didn’t mean that hate her, but many of her characteristics are unacceptable by me. Mamacita may love her old days, but that’s too much that made she overlook many important things. I don’t know that the story end here or not, but if not I really want to know how Mamacita will live it through. I think I had learned many things from this short story and I’ll make sure that I myself won’t be like Mamacita for sure.

Why mamacita is homesick?

Why mamacita is homesick?

By Kornchanok  Eiamsantipaisarn (Erng)  10M

            Homesick occur when we need to move to different home environment as a feeling of missing home. Mamacita is one of the characters in a short story called “No Speak English”. In the story, she lives with her husband and her baby boy. I will say that mamacita is homesick because she has to leave Mexico, her old country, and came to America, she is afraid to speak English, and she always sat beside the window and played Spanish radio and sang all homesick songs about her old country.

Mamacita husband has jobs in America; he works very hard to save money to bring her and her child to Mongo Street, America. When mamacita arrived in her new house, she missed Mexico so much. She never leaves her country before, and she never leaves the house not because she is too fat and cannot pass through the stairs, but she doesn’t speak English. Although her husband has already changed the color of the house to be same as her old house in Mexico but she still cried. A new environment can made her become homesick. Nowhere is better than her own house in Mexico.

She is afraid to speak English or in other word she doesn’t speak any English. English is an ugly language that she couldn’t understand. She knew only eight words and only knew how to say: “He not here” when the landlord comes, “No speak English” if anybody else comes, and “Holy smokes”. It is hard to survive in the United State without knowing English. She asked her husband about when they will move back home (Mexico) which made her husband disgusted and screamed at her: We are home. This is home. Here I am I stay. Speak English. Speak English. Christ! Her child that she brought from Mexico also breaks her heart because he learned and can speak English in which she couldn’t understand and doesn’t want her child to speak English instead of Spanish (her country’s language). She doesn’t want to learn English because she is missing her home town and want to go back. She can accept only Spanish not English. This make her became lonely and wanted to go back home.

She always sat beside the window and listened to Spanish radio, sang all homesick songs about her country. This has shown a very strong feeling of homesick.  She can’t understand English so she is afraid to go outside meeting with new friend.  When she doesn’t understand what is other trying to say to her then she chose to be lonely and listen to Spanish radio which I think she might think that it will help her feel like she is home.

In conclusion, I could say that mamacita is homesick. Homesick can happen to us when we have to move to somewhere else that is not our home.  It may need a very long time to feel ok in new place. Home sweet home, nowhere is better than our house, nowhere is warm like our house, and nowhere is saved like our house!
