Descriptive Mexico

Should the US have all of Texas and California or should we not have them? The US went to war with Mexico in 1846. In this war the US wanted to have the Manifest Destiny come true, so the US fought over land which is now called Texas. After the war had been fought over Texas, the US had a little later had attempted to take more land. In which, they were successful and now we call the land they fought for part of California. The US was right for going to war with Mexico for three reasons, Manifest Destiny, there was a vote on it, and Mexico attacked first.

Mexico is bordered by the United States on the north, the Pacific Ocean on the west, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea on the east, and Guatemala and Belize on the south. It is characterized by an extraordinary diversity in topography and climate and is crossed by two major mountain chains, the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental. The high central plateau between these two mountain ranges historically funneled most of the human population toward the center of this region. Mexico features volcanic peaks, snow-capped mountains, tropical rain forests, and internationally famous beaches. Mexico City is an enormous metropolitan area and dominates the rest of the country's culture, economy, and politics. Nearly

The world is made beautiful with rare beauties such as the Tuscany sunset. Its perfect display is one of the blessings granted to human the human world. It appears as the best distraction to people, pleasant, refreshing, and soothing. The rays emitting from this magnificent gift makes one forget the noise in the city, the pollution, and the sad faces in the streets, as well as the stress that never seem to

To an Italian family it is imperative that their recipes live on for decades. The richness of the food and wine is what Italy’s reputation is known for. The wonderful food and drink did not just come about over night it has been occurring and advaning for decades. When most people think of the Italian Renaissance

My family never had the opportunity to have luxurious goods; we started out at the bottom of the food chain. They never even had the opportunity to take their education higher than middle school. From the beginning, as soon as we they were old enough, they would head out to a small ranch in the valley and work. Mexico is a cruel place, especially when your family is barely making enough money to survive the week. All of my family originated from Mexico, and all of us know what it’s like to be living in the shadows of society. Back in Mexico, my future was engraved in stone, that is until my family ditched their way of living so I wouldn't go through the same struggle. Little did they know that I would still face many struggles. The journey

“A million square feet of Italian delicacies.” (Rail 1). Although it’s popular for food, it’s also popular for being the romance language, possession of lovely scenery, presentation of famous artworks, historic value, and the abundance of history within its life. All of this is already realized, but what isn’t really known is just how amazing it must be to witness the true foundation of Italia. Individuals would be greeted by a feeling of freedom and relaxation and what a magnificent feeling it must come to experience. Why is it such a wonderful sensation? The speaking in foreign tongues people hear is in all likelihood the strangest, but most real encounter. “It is a journey that will examine the history of Italy, its complex politics and the whole spectrum of Italian culture” (“Activities in Italy” 1). The buildings and architecture one can discern, the cobblestone streets, and the chatter in foreign tongues is bound to be a great memory. Perhaps the most important thing to understand when visiting this beautiful, small country, is the history. The most interesting thing one could learn about is certainly the Renaissance, and just the long history of Italy and how it got its shape and recognition. Everyone who has lived and who’ll live, they’ll learn about this foreign country because of the Renaissance. The Renaissance was Italy’s golden age, and they are now living in a Post-Renaissance

Food is an essential component to the creation of an Italian identity, as it offers not only sustenance, but also provides narratives that reflect community and conflicts, tradition and innovation. When searching for an appropriate recipe, reaching out to family and friends for a recipe they swear by, a family ‘secret,” which seemed consistent with Italian culture. The passing down of recipes and techniques

Ah, Mexico, my Mexico, such a rich country in many aspects, full of natural resources, with a spectacular biodiversity, unfortunately, the huge problem here, mexicans, something for not feeling proud about, and I do not blame them (or should I say us?), I blame the educational system we have, which leaves so much to be desired. A proof of it? Every street with garbage in every corner, even with a near trash can. Certainly, touristic attractives are not the exception, whether you go to a journey in the forest or for a swim in the beaches, there is always the same problem, contamination, and the problematic issue here is that we are so used to our panorama, that we no longer feel impressed about it.

Siri was not the average person for Porto Corsa, Italy. she was used to tall hotels and bright lights. Not fancy stone bridges. She had no interest in wearing fancy clothes. Instead, she wore a short sleeved t-shirt with her hair knotted and messy, wearing a disheveled look. Ever since she moved from Las Vegas a week ago, people eerily looked at her in disgust. She would start school tomorrow not knowing the name of the school. She was so nervous. As she gazed out of her grandparents medium-sized house at the beautiful Italian bay, she began to cry. She did not want to start in a new school even though she did speak Italian. She was worried.

unobstructed view of the Mediterranean. Vince ordered the John Dory fish for dinner and for me the pear and pumpkin ravioli with mussels. Every mouthful was delicate and heavenly delicious. We shared a bottle of wine and toasted to our life together, our love and to returning to the Amalfi Coast, one day. It all felt so surreal; sitting under this bright star studded sky with my handsome Italian husband, eating this Capri. We just didn’t feel like going out for a meal. Later, we walked into a pastry shop to buy a bottle of wine, pan pizza slices for dinner and croissants for breakfast in our room. We had an expansive view of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. In the evening, we opened the doors and windows. Serenaded by the sounds

This past spring, my family and I went to Europe for spring break. One of the places we visited there was Riomaggiore, Italy. Riomaggiore is a fisherman village located on the northwest coast of Italy. It is just 1.5 hours west of Pisa, Italy, where the Tower of Pisa stands. Riomaggiore, along with several other fisherman villages in the region, belongs to the province of La Spezia. The country of Italy is a peninsula located in the southern portion of Europe that sticks out into the Mediterranean Sea. It can be easily identified on a world map by its boot-like shape. While walking the streets of Riomaggiore, there were many different and new sights I saw and experienced. These sights made me feel calm and excited at the same time, a feeling I’ve felt no where else, and are also what make Riomaggiore one of the best places I’ve ever visited.

It was a beautiful day in Rome, Italy. The sky was a clear, baby blue and the weather was warm, just hot enough to need a fan in the August day. People were walking on the streets, hand gestures everywhere as if they are so passionate about what they are talking about. I hear ‘Ciao Bella’ and ‘buongiorno’ from the friendly Italians I come across. I know what they are saying and find myself laughing, the mere sound of the language amuses me. Walking down the street, I took note of the siesta time, also known as riposo time in Italy. The stores and restaurants close down from noon until about 3:00 pm, giving people the time to go home and rest or take care of other things. From my room in my hotel, I noticed the acoustics in the city are

Since I am interested in Italy, I decided to find out a little more about it. One of the first things I would like to find out is some basic information about the country. Another thing I would like to find out is what happened in Italy’s history. Furthermore, it would also be interesting to learn about the country’s current leader. Information about the capital city is another thing that I want to discover about Italy. In addition, I would like to find out about popular attractions that are located in Italy. Finally, I want to learn about a famous person who was born in Italy. Those are some of things I hope to learn from doing this project.

Here I was, asleep on the plane dreaming of my time in Italy, a place that once used to be apart of my imagination. I dreamt of Milan and the fashion trends that I’ll never quite understand, of Venice and the anxiety-filled gondola ride through the city’s canals, of Florence and the hike up the Pre-Apennine Mountains, and of Rome with its historical sites that most will only see in textbooks.

In the afternoon we visited the Castel Sant'Angelo which was exquisite and the view from the top of it was simply fascinating. After having taken hundreds of pictures we visited the most fashionable street in Rome which is Via Condotti, which is filled with boutiques of Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton and Prada. Actually, we did not buy anything because our budget did not quite stretch to Jimmy Choo high-heels. In the following hours, we also visited Piazza del Popolo and ate probably the best and the most delicious sundae that one can possibly buy in
