Homework: Dear parents/guardians, please assist your child with
today’s homework.
Read: Rituals of
Memory by Kimberly Blaeser. Answer questions below using complete sentences and
evidence form the text.
Option 1:
Memory begins with various wonders. For my friend
Mary, it began with hair. Her hair grew tightly curled…Brushing and combing
brought tears. When Mary tried to run her fingers through her hair as she saw
others do, her fingers became hopelessly captured by curls. …Because her locks
had never been cut, the loops never broken, her fingers became entangled in the
loops. Perhaps that story delights me because it stands as a wonderful example
of our always innocent attempts to explain the world or …relationships of
family, place, and community… No matter how long our lives, no matter how far
our experience takes us from our origins, our lives remain connected, always
loopback to that center…

Opcion 4:
La memoria comienza con varias maravillas. Por mi amiga María, comenzó
con el pelo. Su pelo creció muy rizado ... cepillar su cabello le traia lágrimas.
Cuando María trató de pasar los dedos por el pelo, ... sus dedos quedaron enredados
en sus rizos. ...Tal vez esa historia me encanta, ya que se erige como un
ejemplo maravilloso de nuestros intentos siempre inocentes para explicar el
mundo o ... las relaciones de familia, el lugar y la comunidad ... No importa
cuánto tiempo nuestras vidas .... nuestras vidas permanecen conectados, siempre
bucle de retorno a ese centro ...
