Judith Ortiz Cofer says, “The Island travels with you.” What part of your culture, family, or identity do you feel “travels” with you everywhere you go?

  I think the skill of cooking travels with me. Since i was younger my grandmother used to cook very often. From the morning time to the afternoon all the way up until the evening. My uncle took after her and he would cook every sh day for Sunday dinner; in which me and my mom would attend every weekend. My mom is also a cook which only made it right for me to be.

Prompt: In Letters 46–50, Celie begins to see Albert more clearly—his flaws, his regrets, and the ways he changes when he is no longer in complete control of her.

Growing up they taught me alot and put me through learning experiences so for that im grateful.
