Henry Reyna was a chicano, a mexican born in America. Most Hispanics come to America in order to seek out a better life for their children and to give them a better opportunity, however, people saw it as hispanics coming to steal their jobs and money. In the play, there was a lot of discrimination, even if you were caught being around a chicano, you would get the same punishment as said chicano.

Newman's partner in the film who is engaged to a young Latina woman, pressures his future wife to sleep with him and she eventually gives in to her strong Anglo man against her original beliefs opposing sex before marriage.

I agree with many of the things you say” I can relate to this because i always thought some of my family members really never related to me and that would cause me to not have a good relationship with them but i learned that it's better to just agree with each other on basic things and understand one another. George jackson really focuses on this wich is the relationship between his and his mother while he is in prison. he connects much of his unhappiness to his mother's decisions and actions while she raised him and educated him. George jackson felt as of his mother never really told him the truth when it came to the outside world he believed he never got fully educated on how in those times there was much racism and injustice when it came to colored people. He felt anger towards his mother by not knowing that these things could happen to a person simply because of their skin color. This caught my attention because it shows how much being uneducated about racism and injustice can make a person angry. I believe This relates to much of the world today because some people are not educated about racism and unjust that there are in different types of the

I grew up in a family that was what would be called a blended family. My siblings and I all have the same mother but we have different fathers of different ethnicities. My father is from Mexico, my sister’s father is of English descent and my brother’s father is African-American. Due to our multi-ethnic backgrounds and all of us being raised by my mother she always made it a point to teach us to be accepting of all people no matter their race. We are all a product of our environment. The short story by Sherman Alexie, “The Senator’s Son” captures this beautifully. The story shows much different parental influences than my own though. There are two different parental influences highlighted in the story, that of William’s father, the Senator and Jeremy’s father. Each have different expressions of microagressions and macroaggressions toward other cultures but each are detrimental to their son’s vision of others.

The author stated that, "We left home, married, had children of our own, found the s eeds of meanness blooming also within us." So, I believe that this means the children didn't hold anything against their father. They knew his meaness was out of love and to make them better fucntioning and responsible adults. My husband has told me many times stories on how tough he had it with his father growing up, especially over his sisters but he still loves and respects his father. I believe my father in law being so tough on my husband and making him start working on a farm with him at the age of 8 has made my husband the hard worker that he is today. He has taken a lot of the traits that he thought were beneficial to his life and uses the same with our children and omits the ones that he felt were to harsh growing up. I sometimes wonder if my fasther in law feels somewhat like the author sometimes because he is especially nice and lets his grandchildren get away with things he would never let my husband do when he was a child. Although that could simply be a grandparent thing that happens to all grandparents. I believe the author and my father in law have the same character traits and are both stubborn, strict but loving fathers to their

Mark (38) and Sean (40) are parents of a 14 -year-old son named Elijah. The couple has been married for two years, but have been domestic partners for over 18 years. They adopted Elijah, Mark’s nephew, when he was a one-year old after Mark’s sister and brother-in-law died in a car accident. Mark and Sean are the only family Elijah knows and he calls them both dad. The couple feels like a “traditional” family, but they have been recently reminded that it is not as traditional as it seemed when some of their son’s junior high classmates who had been taunting the boy took to pelting the house with stones and beer cans. Elijah shrugged off the incident by saying he does not let such things bother him but his uneasiness, his yearning to isolate, and his recent verbal attacks on his parents indicate differently.

If I were to evaluate mine and Jaime’s mother, I would use the following five criteria: 1. How organized they are, 2. How affectionate they are to their children and family, 3. Time they spend with their family, 4. How they talk to their children, 5. How devoted they are to Christ. They would be measured with low, median or high. Both mother can be evaluated with both criteria since me and Jaime agree that those are important aspects that mother should have. Indeed, this evaluation could be strengthened with more than five criteria because there are more than five criteria that describes a good mother. In fact, I would use a similar criteria even if my audience was my professor because it may define how good the character of a person is. Moreover,

The speaker of the poem “Mother to Son,” by Langston Hughes is a mother who is giving advice to her son. Her life has been difficult and hard at times. As readers, we know this because the speaker talks about how life is a staircase and her staircase has had “tacks and splinters in it” (line 3-4). This means that her life has not been perfect and she had many challenges to deal with. Perhaps she was born into poverty, because the images in her poem reveal a ragged, old staircase, like you might find in a decrepit, old building. Further, the speaker’s accent reveals that the speaker was not well-educated when she was younger, such as when she says “I'se been a-climbin' on” (line 9) which is not proper English. Since

In the 20th Century, the definitions of honor and loyalty to family changed. Cultural norms once expected a son to continue his father´s business or craft. This became the exception in the modern era with more emphasis put on the individual´s talents and interests. In ¨Barn Burning,¨ William Faulkner describes the tension of loyalty between a son and father. Mr. Snopes, a proud and unruly man, burned his neighbor´s barn after an unresolved disagreement. His son Salty is nearly called up on to testify against his

At age three I said “I love you mommy.” At age seven I said, “Mom, stop kissing my cheek!” At age fifteen I say, “You’re so annoying – I can’t wait to move out!” At age eighteen, I’ll be saying “I miss home.” At age twenty-seven I’ll be saying “I miss my mom.” At age forty I’ll be saying “I miss you so much; I wish you didn’t have to go.” My mom is the sun to my shine.

When raising a child one is taught values by their families that they feel are important for their child to have. I believe that family values consist of certain actions and qualities that are important to a family to uphold. Values that are important in my family are honesty, trust and to have respect for others. Each of these values is equally important in my family. They played a big role into making me the person I am now.

We are commanded by God to honor our father and mother. This is a principle taught so often in the scriptures that it has been drilled into our memory. Even if you don’t happen to belong to a religious family this is still a principle that is passed down from generation to generation.
