In Aria: A Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood by Richard Rodriguez, various stylistic devices and rhetorical strategies are used such as symbolism, and pathos. Symbolism Rodriguez uses in the piece, consists of his home, and the general public. To young Rodriguez, his time at home represented comfort, and safety. Furthermore Rodriguez's Home represented a “pleasing, soothing, consoling reminder” that he was in a sheltered environment away from “los gringos.” In contrast, the general public which consisted of Rodriguez’s neighborhood, school, and the store symbolised a time spent frightened by the english language sounds, the experience of feeling apart from english speaking children, and the idea that his parents were not powerful enough to protect him. Such symbolism is also used in order for Rodriguez to appeal to the audience's emotions in order to persuade them into agreeing with his argument on bilingual education. By Rodriguez sharing his experience of feeling afraid of the public language, he teaches the audience that while “it would have pleased me to hear my teachers address me in Spanish when I entered the classroom” he would delay learning the language of a public society. As Rodriguez and his siblings began to assimilate into the english language, he found that “The house I returned to each afternoon was quiet. Intimate Sounds no longer rushed to the door to greet me. There were other noises inside.” While this marked a lost of intimacy and the private language

Throughout history poetry has been written since earlier 2000 B.C. and it was not until the late sixteen centuries, that poetry for Chicanos, (Mexican-American), were getting written. During and after the Mexican-American War of 1848, is when the Mexican-American poetry became popular. However, the real popularity and the creative literature activity among Chicano authors was in the 1960 through the 70’s; l this era being called the Renaissance Era. Chicano's often shape their poetry and solidify their cultural and the struggles of their minority culture. In this paper I am going to compare and contrast two Mexican-American poets. Telling the reader about the different types of poetry each one used, along with ways that they expressed themselves.

As children grow up in a dysfunctional family, they experience trauma and pain from their parent’s actions, words, and attitudes. With this trauma experienced, they grew up changed; different from other children. The parent’s behavior affects them and whether they like it or not, sometimes it can influence them, and they can react against it or can repeat it. In Junot Díaz’s “Fiesta, 1980”, is presented this theme of the dysfunctional family. The author presents a story of an adolescent Latin boy called Junior, who narrates the chronicles of his dysfunctional family, a family of immigrants from the Dominican Republic driving to a party in the Bronx, New York City. “Papi had been with

Antonio was born from a family who were so attached to their culture and prideful of it; the cultures from his mother’s side and his father’s side were opposite and this created tension on the young boy’s life. He was born in New Mexico to a Mexican-American family during the end of the second world war. His father’s side the “Marez” want for him to become a vaquero a man from el llano; from his mother’s side the “Luna”, they want for him to become a priest. His family has been fighting over what Antonio will become; Antonio struggles with this cultural clash. Antonio does not know what to do, he does not want to disappoint his father's family or his mother’s, he feels a lot of pressure on him.

Enrique’s journey begins when he is left on the porch all alone without his mother in sight. He is confused and questions “Donde esta mi mami,”(page 1)he is only 5, this confusion leads into rebellion then anger which is what finally pushes him to go on journey to find his mother, does she not love me, he questions, he wanted answers but also missed his mother so much that he does not care or even think about how hard and risky his travel will be.

Rodriguez is ashamed. He is ashamed with the fact his espanol is no longer his main language. The author presents, “I grew up a victim to a

The author first makes readers feel cozy when he says, "Within its walls, my young parents created our traditional Cuban home, the very heart of which was the kitchen." The tone that the author uses makes the reader feel warm, giving them the joyful image of the cozy Cuban home. Then Rodriguez continues, "Here, the innocence of childhood, the congregation of family and friends, and endless celebrations that encompassed both formed the backdrop to life in our warm home." The author describes his young life to his readers, making them feel warmth by depicting the memory of the innocent and happy gathering of loved ones. Finally, Narcisco Rodriguez sets a warm mood by recalling his memories of how everyone helped each other out in their times of need. He says, "It was a close-knit community of honest, hardworking immigrants who extend a hand to people who, while not necessarily their own kind, were clearly in need." The thought of such a well-woven community of kind people spreads a warm feeling amongst readers' hearts. This relates to the thesis in the sense that the immigrants created a sincere environment for Narcisco and family. In brief, the story portrays a mood of warmth to its readers using its kind and joyful

Cristina Garcia’s Dreaming in Cuban tells the story about three generations of a Cuban family and their different views provoked by the Cuban revolution. Though part of the same family, an outsider might classify them as adversaries judging by relationships between one another, the exiled family members, and the differentiations between political views. Although all of these central themes reoccur over and over throughout the narrative, family relationships lie at the heart of the tale. The relationships between these Cuban family members are for the most part ruptured by any or a combination of the above themes.

Continuing in the theme of conformity; if the boys are united by their heteronomy, Cuellar’s castration, in contrast, is the source of his ostracism. His unfortunate accident is a wound that ‘time opens instead of closes’, and as the story progresses, Vargas Llosa juxtaposes the boys socially inclusive youthful pastimes of football and studying mentioned earlier in the novel with his comparatively solitary penchant for the ocean and surfing “a puro pecho o con colchón” (94) in chapter five. In this passage, his distance from the others is symbolised by the isolation of the sea; the narrator says the water “se lo tragó” (95) and later, the boys state that “se perdió” (96). Clearly, Cuellar’s failure to partake in the testosterone fuelled rituals of sexual maturity in the city has seen him shunned from the rest of the boys and resigned to hanging out with “rosquetes, cafichos y pichicateros” (96) instead – the modern, metropolitan outcasts. Evidently, Cuellar is incapacitated by this highly heteronormative lifestyle, as the inherent masculinity of the city is a fixed identity that will perpetually exclude him, or anyone else who cannot fulfil Peruvian societies idea of gender appropriate behaviour.

Los dos tienen obsesiones que no coinciden. Ambos persiguen a una persona que esta diez pasos adelante; un fantasma. Coinciden el hecho de que los dos son peregrinos, los dos son desplazados. Aquí es donde pienso que Laura Restrepo intenta romper con el esquema clásico o común del mundo sedentario y el tercer mundo. Aquí uno puede relacionar esta rotura con la pareja. Siete por tres busca un lugar donde sea posible vivir. Huye de la violencia, huye del hambre, y ella, que viene del primer mundo, huye de la falta de sentido. Ella busca un sentido para su vida, intensidad y por eso los dos tienen esta fuerza invisible que les atrae el uno al otro. Siete por tres simboliza lo abierto, lo que queda por resolver y mas allá, significa un reto, y por lo cual, el es una fascinación.

El derecho administrativo se ha conformado a partir de una convicción en absoluto homogénea sino más bien predicable de algunos, es la urgencia ideológica de regular situaciones tradicionalmente regladas por el derecho privado o común (derecho convencional). El reconocimiento de esta realidad conduce a una doble connotación de derecho administrativo por una parte “conjunto de normas” y por otra “conjunto de pautas teóricas” un sector de la doctrina a reconocido estas dos pautas como régimen administrativo, ambas partes conforman un todo denominado derecho administrativo.
