Cesar Chavez

1.Cesar Chavez was a American citizen and was born in Yuma Arizona.



2.Cesar Chavez and his family became migrant workers after losing their farm in the Great Depression.



3.Cesar attended more than 30 elementary and middle schools. After he dropped he worked full time in the fields and also joined the navy in 1946.



4.The CSO was Community Service Organization. The kind of work he did for them was with immigration and tax problems, and taught them how to organize to deal with problems like police violence and discrimination. H quited after organization turned down his request to organize farmworkers in 1962.

5.What i think all of them have in common are that they are leaders. "The strikers faced odds that could not be overcome by traditional labor tactics."

6.They were farm workers and they started getting hired because they will work for a little bit of money unlike Americans getting payed allot

7.The other ethnic group that help achieve equality minority farm workers.

8.The crop they used to organize a boycott was grape. Yes the boycott was successful.

9.The great leader the grandpa mentioned was John Kennedy. Cesar Chavez was important to him because he had the short handled hoe in my hand and also he will tell him "si se puede"

10 The grandpa and his grandchild celebrated Cesar Chavez birthday in school.

11."The short one,” was a hoe that was only twenty-four inches long, forcing the farmworkers who used it to bend and stoop all day long—a position that often led to lifelong, debilitating back injuries.".

12.Yes there is and they are his birthday on march 31 and a elementary named after him.

13. "We want to be recognized, yes, but not with a glowing epitaph on our tombstone..." I chose this quote because it is better making a change then people to know who you are.

14.Respect for life and knowledge because both of this is good in your life if you want to be someone when you grow up.

1a. George shot Lennie because Lennie killed Curleys wife. Curley was going to kill him and torture him. So George shot Lennie so he wont go tortured or through anything else. Even though Lennie has mental problems doesn't mean he will get treated good.



1b. I think shooting Lennie was the best thing because than Lennie would be punished for killing Curley wife. George killed him because he felt bad and wouldn't want to see anything bad happen to him. Last but not least George needed to move on by himself not with Lennie because than he cant go to places with him for example party, bar and much more.



2a. The father euthanizes his daughter. He did that because his daughter Eluana Englano has been in a vegetative state for 17 years. I think he did this because he didn't think she will wake up, so he euthanized her.



2b. I agree with him . I agree because if he shes been in a comma for 17 years and then she might not be the same. Also she might not like that she cant remember things and shell be saying shed rather of been dead. That why i agree with him euthanizing her.



3a. Mr. Lupoe was negative because he didn't have a job or money. He might of been thinking who will pay the rent, buy food, and take care of his 5 kids. Mr Lupoe didn't have confidence in himself that he will get another job or get help.



3b. The 1st thing they can do is put the kids up for adoption. The 2nd thing is try to get another job. The last resort could be try to sell things they don't need. if they don't want to put the kids up for adoption they could tell a family member if they could take care of them until they can take care of the properly.


4a. Some people think euthanasia is bad but i think euthanasia is alright like in the atricle of the girl in a comma. Unlike Mr.Lupoe he killed himself, wife and sons. That was not a good reason to euthanise your family.

1)Yes it was ok to encourage lennie to fight so people know he can stand up for himself. I dont think there could of been a better solution. I think this because then no one will pick on Lennie when george isn't there.

2)No but at the same time yes because he aint always have someone by his side like George. Yes he should but if he doesnt want to he dont need to. Also Lennie should get the same rights as regular people.

3)If curley will not be aggressive he will get atleast a little respect. If curley will get respect there buissness will go smoother. Also i think half of his workers will give him respect because some might of had problems with the Curleys dad.

4)No because Curley wife is married. Also Slim wouldnt want trouble with the bosses son. 1 reason is because he could get fired or get payed less.
