Introductory Paragraph

"Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings."- Salvador Dali. This quote means that an intelligent person not having ambition will never take off. They will never get very far without the drive to succeed; Which I agree with. This can be clearly seen in "American Chica" by Marie Arana through the quote "Life is better when we imagine it." These quotes relate because this quote seems to come from someone who thinks of the things they could accomplish but doesn't have the ambition to do so; As if what they could succeed in is all a dream.

"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."-Christopher Reeve ("Superman")

It was the summer of 2014 when Rosalinda, Issabel, and Clarissa decided to walk to the park. It was a nice, sunny day in Mexico, the trees whispered as the wind blew. The girls were walking when they heard a strange sound in the bushes. They became a little uneasy;  Rosalinda decided to take a look at what was causing the noise. She pulled back the leaves, she saw a small dog. They picked it up and began to walk home, hoping they would be able to keep it. When the girls got home, they were a little nervous to ask if they could keep the small dog. When their parent returned home, Rosalinda, Issabel, and Clarissa walked to the living room carrying the dog. The girls explained to their parent how they wish to keep the dog to prove to their parents that they show that they are responsible. The parents agreed that it would be a good idea for them to learn. The girls get to keep the dog.
