                        Anita's Death 

There Is always an unexpected thing that can happen in any event like a lot of things can happen  like something tragic like someone can die and you cannot do anything to stop that or a lot things can  happen  on accident but it can be your fault in some parts of the event. In Across a Hundred Mountains by Reyna Grande there is a girl name Juana who was responsible of taking care of her little sister in a stormy night in a flooded house. Juana is sleepy but she had her sister in her arms. But Juana accidentally falls asleep and Anita was not in her arms when her mom comes home. Ama is responsible of Anita's death.

Ama should have not left Juana with the baby. Anita did not want to stay with Juana," The baby let out a cry and opened her arms to her mother"(9). Anita was not countable that Juana was going to take care of her because Anita wants her mom to carry her not Juana. But Ama still wanted Juana to take care of her sister but a good idea that the mom could of think of is that she could of taken Juana and the baby with her wherever she was going she was going but Ama did not think of that so she just left Juana in charge of the baby.

In addition Juana did not trust herself taking care of her sister by herself in a flooded house. Juana tries to tell ama that she don’t feel comfortable taking care of Anita by herself but Ama dose not let her talk, "I'll go look for help," Ama said, She walked back to Juana and handed her the baby..." But Ama-"(9). Ama wanted to go look for help to bring Apa home from work but the house was flooded and it was raining really hard and Ama wanted to leave Juana by herself with the baby and Juana knew that something wrong could of happen. Juana knew that she could not trust herself with the baby because she has never taken of Anita by herself especially in a flooded house. But Ama did really care, all she wanted was to go look for help.

In addition, to that Juana feel asleep and dropped her sister in the water. Juana accidentally dropped her sister, “What had she been holding so tightly right before she fell asleep?" Juana where's your sister?" Ama asked (13). Juana accidently dropped her sister. It was not stoppable that Juana could not fall asleep she was really tired. Ama was cognizant that Juana was not holding her. 

Even though, others may argue that it's not Ama fault because it was Juana responsibility. I believe that it is still Ama fault because why did she leave an infant with a minor that felt unsure with herself taking care of a baby in flooded house

"You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right."- Thomas S. Monson

What this quote is saying is that you can not be right by doing the wrong things and you can be wrong by doing the right things. For example, you are home alone and some friends come over and they throw a party but your mom and dad don't know that the right thing to do is tell your mom or just tell your friends. But lets say you let the throw the party are your mom finds out and you lie and say that it was not you and you did not know about it yes you did not throw the party yes you did not know that it was going to happen but if you told your mom or just told your friends no you would not be getting in trouble. What i'm trying to say is that when you do something bad or let something bad happen dose not mean you did the right thing because you would get in trouble or they will think you were part of it and you can not be right by doing something wrong. There is a big difference of being right when you do something right than being right when you do something bad.

"Enthusiasm Makes the Different."- Dr. Norman Vincent Peale  

What this quote is saying is that your attitued makes a big different in things you want to do for example, if there is a big test you have to take but you are telling yourself you are not going to pass it of that is hared that you are not going to do good and when you take the test and youn still have a negative attitued you will might fail that test you might have to retake it because of that low score you got but if you had a positive attitued like teling yourself that you are going to pass that test that you are going to try your best you could pass the test with a B or a C or a even higher grade what made a diffence was you enthusiasm. Another example can be is that you go to work and you are in a bad mood and evrything bothers you and you are taking it out on peolpe of course you are going to have a bad day but if you were in a bad mood and told yourself once you get to work you are going to try to make your day better and your day would change you will have a better day beacuse you changed the way you think you changed your attitue. So your enthusiasm makes a big diffence.
