Victor had many advantages to be a successful student. He was born in a rich family.

Miguel Grande perceives men as the powerful patriarch of a family. Protecting their egos and suppressing weak emotions are the most important characteristics of being the male leader. “Miguel Grande [is] a big man whose presence dominates all family gatherings even though he [is] Mama Chona’s youngest son” (pg. 4). Accustomed to being respected and in control, he sets high expectations for his children. This egotistical, arrogant man feels that his son Miguel Chico should follow in his footsteps. Attempting to control Miguel Chico’s life, impatience and unrest begins to surface, resulting in divisions within the family. As a child, Miguel Chico played with skirts and dolls, which entertained Juanita and his nursemaid Maria. “Miguel Grande had caught them and made a terrible scene…he asked [his son] to apologize and promise that he would never do it again” (pg. 16). Rather than enjoying time away from work with his son, Miguel Grande only scolds and beats his son with a belt. Failing to establish a strong relationship with Miguel Chico, this prideful father is blind to the fact that his son, who is talented and gifted in different areas, has a unique

Among Vietnamese families is to tie a misbehaving child 's ear to a doorknob as punishment.in some other culture a child could be beaten/whip and physical injury inflicted as a means of discipline. To them their action is normal based on their cultural believe. (Mclntyre et al 1992) The American middle-class culture is one of the few that uses positive reinforcement procedures while limiting punishment when deemed necessary, a mild, spanking may be administered, although a more frequent practice is to isolate the misbehaving child, withdrawing love and affection for a period of time (Mclntyre et al 1992). These majority culture parents perceive their methods as being more humane than those that incorporate physical punishment. However, other cultural/ethnic groups often view the dominant culture style as being crueler. (Mclntyre et al 1992). While some culturally diverse guardians may use quickly administered physical punishment, they would never hint at an emotional separation from their progeny that might create feelings of rejection in the child. (Mclntyre et al 1992)

The challenges he faced during his transition from the Spanish Language to English. The challenges you will face with starting a new routine or “Life change” to fit into today’s society. Even though he had his family to share his language with, He was almost trapped in the American society with not being able to communicate. Getting the awareness out about his views on Bilingual Education and share his story on how it affected him in the beginning. That even by teaching children in their home language sounds like a great idea, you are just taking away from their ability to learn. He had something special by being able to understand Spanish after losing the ability to speak it. But that just gave him something over his classmates. I do believe he achieves his point. Education is a huge part of our lives. Yes, believing a child will do better in school using

teacher who was supposed to take him in and teach him, help nurture him, encourage him, and inspire his will to learn did nothing but completely write him off for the simple fact that this child didn’t speak english. She “couldn’t deal with him” so she sat him in a corner and ignored him. The situation was no different when Grillo was sent to another class, yet again he was sat in a corner the only difference this time being that the teacher was a little nicer about telling him he wasn’t wanted. However despite the sweetness she injected into her voice Luis still knew he wasn’t wanted, so due to his mistreatment he became reluctant to talk to anyone; even to ask to go the bathroom. As Grillo got older his outlook on school only got worse, he became a troubled child

The boys, thus, grew up in a patriotic, uniform society where defecting is traitorous. A critical aspect to unifying the nation was to educate everyone around a central curriculum based on every detail of the revolution that transformed the country and the governments version of events.(“Victory”). Billboard signs, erected all around Cuba, state, “In Cuba- Children in School 100%”; they proudly display that Castro has successfully catalyzed a 100% literacy rate (“Victory”). The manner in which Castro induced exemplary education was by providing it free to all children for six days every week and encouraging after school activities, such as boxing. Cuban boys have the freedom to chose if they wish to take government-provided boxing or other activities. The boxing boys learn to interchange their wits and patriotic lessons with discipline and passion; all of which will create a strong, intellectual man. With only one day to be spent with the family, the boys are provided, through government means, a new father figure, their coach. Their coach, a civil servant, molds them into young men through intense, omnipresent training and routine, thus focusing on their habitual self-discipline for the future of Cuba. Coach Yhosvani Bonachea tells the boys while tucking them in at night, “We’re going to put the book here (under the pillow), so you dream dreams of an Olympic champion. Sleep with the angels,

He extinguishes the students’ lives of light and hope. ‘Creí que encontraría a mis vedaderos compañeros. No a unos ilusos.’ Ignacio believes that he has been cursed in life with his disability of being blind and tries to share his dark feelings of depression with his fellow students. But to his surprise they have positive hopes and dreams for their future and believe that they can have lives just like everyone else in the real world. In Ignacio’s opinion the students have been ‘envenenados de alegría.’
