¨The receptionist asked me in Spanish, ’Are you here for the English class?’... ‘I’m sorry. Our new session starts today, so I just assumed that’s why you were here.’ I was about to say no, but I stopped myself. Maybe it was luck that brought me here, or maybe it was providence... Maybe I would even learn enough to be able to help Maribel with her homework¨ (Henríquez 58). Alma does not know how to speak English when she comes to America.

Through her personal experiences, Lugo-Lugo reels in her audience by connecting with them emotionally. She recalls many stories of when she was a victim of discrimination due to her race and sex. As a professor, students viewed her differently from her colleagues, due to the fact that she is Latina and a woman. On the first day of classes Lugo-Lugo explains one of the incidents that took place in her classroom, “Student: I do not feel like being in the classroom today, and since my parents pay for your

Throughout the essay, Lugo-Lugo wants one to become informed on prevalent issues in the average college classroom by allowing the reader to appeal to her through emotions. She uses personal stories and thoughts on college profiting accordingly to portray the issue amongst her classroom. As she mentions in her essay that her “...position within both U.S. society and academia is an important component of [her] discussion… A woman of color who is a Puerto Rican…. And those markers mean something at the beginning of the twenty-first century in and outside the U.S. academy” (Lugo-Lugo 190). She also describes how her image and identity is automatically judged, “These identities, they inform the way I position myself in relation to other gendered and

Marie developed an independent personality early on and rarely relied on her family for help. She was accustomed to collecting her school records from one school and enrolling her-self in the next school. A particular principle stands out in her memory, by looking at her records, which were from Texas, he told her that he was going to hold her back a year as the Texas school system was behind the Pennsylvania school system. This made Marie very angry because she sure didn’t want anyone to think she had failed. So she bargained with the principle, asking him to let her be in the grade she should be in and if she couldn’t do the work

Linda had an easier time learning English than her parents did because of help she received at school. Upon enrolling in public school in the third grade, Linda was immediately sent to ESL class where she quickly picked up on the new language. Her parents, on the other hand, had a more difficult time adapting to American culture and the English language. Linda’s parents started out working low-wage jobs and eventually, through hard work and dedication, saved enough money to open their own travel-agency business. Linda’s father even had to enroll in language school in addition to his undergraduate education in order to increase his chances of

She was only 15 years old when she got pregnant with her first daughter. She decided to drop out of high school, because like many of us, we cannot handle the responsibility of a child and school. She tells us that it took her 15 years to get back in school and earn her high school diploma at an adult school in Alhambra in 1971. She mentions that what drove her to get back in school was her 15 year old daughter. Lucero didn't want her daughter to experience school, if Lucero, herself, hadn't experienced it. It is very important to for us, as parents, to always give our children the best education and to be a role model to follow. Even if it means getting back in school 15 years later. The most beautiful thing we all find here is that both, daughter and mother, were working on getting their high school diploma together. Lucero only needed 3 more classes to be able to receive her high school diploma. At the end, her daughter was very proud of her mother for achieving what many mothers

Of all the short stories that we were assigned to read, I would have to say that Giovanni Verga 's short story, "La Lupa," was my favorite as I found it to be the most interesting and entertaining of them all. "La Lupa," latin for 'she-wolf, ' is named after the main character of ,Verga 's short story, a woman, who was often called a she-wolf ' by the people in her village due to her extremely strong sexual desires, which remains unmatched by any other in the village. Moreover, la Lupa was often regarded as a promiscuous woman who "was never satisfied" and was known to aggressively chase after men that she found attractive in an almost predatory-like manner("La Lupa," p.3). In fact, la Lupa 's reputation within her community got so bad to the point that whenever any other woman would encounter la Lupa, they would make the sign of a cross as they walked past her as a way voicing their displeasure towards her and her promiscuity. Furthermore, many women feared that la Lupa would "bewitch" their sons or their husbands by seducing them and causing them to fall deeply in love with her as she had done with many other men, including the 'holy ' priest (p.4). Verga 's description of la Lupa here, as well as in the first few paragraphs of the story, sounds eerily similar to how one would describe or attribute to an evil witch, which seems to be one of the main themes of the story.

This was highly unusual for a girl. Despite her expulsion from her high school due to poor behaviour, he father still envisioned her true talent when she was a teenger, he enrolled her into a German college, and not many girls during that time in Mexico had the opportunity to receive that type of advanced education (Youssef). Not only did she attend this German college, but she was also one of the 20 girls at the all boys school.

Growing up in both Central American countries, the only language she had even known was Spanish. When her mother finally decided to settle in Miami she knew her life was in for a big change. English can be a hard language to learn her father had always told her. So she decided to take matters into her own hands. A few months prior to making the journey to Florida, Camila had turned 7 years old. For her birthday, she had asked for all of her favorite books, but this time she wanted to read them in English. This would be the best way to learn she thought to

There has been plenty of stories about men in history but none like the one of Francisco Paulino Hermenegildo Teódulo Franco Bahamonde. Francisco came to power promptly after the start of the Spanish Civil War. He led the Nationalist Army to victory. After the war ended in 1939, Franco held complete control of Spain. His administration was similar to a Fascist autocracy. He carried out the functions of chief of state, prime minister, commander in chief, and leader of the Falange. In this, he adopted the title of El Caudillo, “the leader”. Although a fairly recent figure in Spain’s history, Francisco Franco played a significant role in Spain during his time and in the years since.
