Gregorio Cortez Thesis

The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela is arguably the most important novel of the Mexican Revolution because of how it profoundly captures the atmosphere and intricacies of the occasion. Although the immediate subject of the novel is Demetrio Macias - a peasant supporter of the Mexican Revolution -, one of its extensive themes is the ambivalence surrounding the revolution in reality as seen from a broader perspective. Although often poetically revered as a ‘beautiful’ revolution, scenes throughout the novel paint the lack of overall benevolence even among the protagonist revolutionaries during the tumultuous days of the revolution. This paper will analyze certain brash characteristics of the venerated revolution as represented by Azuela’s

“Scorned by attitudes, suppressed by mortis putation, destroyed by modern society.’’ “muck explanation and in the fierce heat of racial hatred.” The quotes from the poem “ Yo Soy Joaquin” by Rodolfo Gonzalez represented discrimination. The meaning of his quotes are what he has been thru america. Destroyed by modern society symbolize the deaths of people’s culture, religions and how not all america is great as they say. Immigrants come to america for better life and hopes,dreams ,better education. As an child with immigrant parents i understand what Rodolfo might have been going thru the years he has been in america. Is America really a good america or just America. America is a world where it has discrimination,equality, patriotic

After reading the essay written by Jesus Villahermosa I believe his thesis statement is “Given my extensive experience dealing with violence in the workplace and at schools and colleges, I do not think professors and administrators, let alone students, should carry guns”. In his second paragraph, he lays out reason as to why he feels this way and shows that he can be considered an expert in firearm safety. Giving information into his background reinforces his position and add to his argument against arming people on college campuses. Some may be surprised that he is against having armed professors and students on campus because of his background. However, I am not surprised that he is strongly against having firearm toting professors, administrators and students throughout campuses. He is properly trained, experienced with firearm safety and marksmanship which in turn gives him great support to his argument.

It is easy to mistakenly interpret the fall of Tenochtitlan as a one-sided ravaging, a destruction handed down from the higher power that was the Spanish. The label “conquistador”, or conqueror, given to the Cortés’ forces, reflects such a belief. However, the interactions between the Aztecs and Conquistadors and between Cortés and other natives as depicted in Cortés’ Second Letter and the compilatory Florentine Codex reveal that the exchange that transpired in Tenochtitlan was more complicated than an unprovoked vanquishing on the part of the Spanish. Further analysis of these two texts reveals that Cortés is not the destructive conqueror one would assume him to be, and that the Aztecs may be partially responsible for their own demise.

Dr.Catalina Esperanza Garcia has been many things. She has been a trailblazer, educator, philanthropist. She also was one of the first Hispanic women to graduate to become a doctor. She also was considered an important Hispanic figure.

In 1521 the creation of New Spain came to light and brought future ideas to the Natives and Europeans. Hernando Cortés was one of many men who sailed the atlantic and lead the conquest of New Spain, eventually leading an expedition to the fall of the aztec empire.

Richard Ramirez is also known as the “Night Stalker” that was an American serial killer who killed at least 14 people and tortured over a dozen during the spring of 1985. He was born on February 29, 1960, in El Paso, Texas and around age five he has been experiencing his epileptic fits. He was the fifth child of Mexican immigrants Mercedes and Julian Ramirez. When Ramirez was an adolescent he was heavily influenced by his cousin Miguel who killed his wife while Richard Ramirez was present at the age of 13. Richard Ramirez has dropped out of ninth grade and was arrested for the possession of marijuana in 1977.

We have taken the city of Tenochtitlan on August thirteenth year of our lord 1521. Many people died in the siege because of the long hard fought battle. The city is nearly destroyed from Don Cortez’s soldiers that came in and took all the spoils from the Indians.

Both Cortés and Las Casas have written their own accounts of what happened at the City of Tenochtitlan and the events leading up to it. Las Casas is writing to the King to inform him of the way the Spaniards are behaving and urging him to stop the massacres of Natives, while Cortés is writing to prove to the king that he is not rebelling and should not face punishment for disobeying orders from his superiors. I think the only accurate similarities of the two version had were that many Natives died at the hands of Spaniards regardless of how the story was told.

Description of the approach each of the professionals involved are using that may support or limit Paula’s personal empowerment. Brief description of the case: The Cortez Family Paula is a Latina 43 years of age female. She is divorced from her ex-husband (David). She has a 20 years old son named Miguel. Unfortunately, when Miguel was at the tender age of eight, Paula had to give up her paternal rights due to her failing health issues.

Popocatepetl and Ixtlaccihuatl and Tenochtitlan both took place during the Aztec days. They both also take place at Tenochtitlan. Both had a life in the world. They live in the same city, and were active. They had to each rule their own city.

The two stories “Tenochtitlan” and “Popocatepetl and Ixtlacinuatl” both take place in Tenochtitlan. While both can take place in the same city they are very different in many ways. The stories are different but the same.

Though a trial does not convict the Anglo-American boss, he does not come out of the story unscathed by the wrath of reparation. After the description of the murder, Rivera’s narrator disappears and the story’s format transforms into a dialogue between two anonymous Latinx individuals, who are discussing what became of the Anglo-American boss. One notes that the boss had lost the ranch he once owned, “hit the bottle pretty hard,” “jumped off a tree ‘cause he wanted to kill himself,” is now a “beggar,” and has likely “went crazy” (87). This array of adverse events that the Anglo-American boss undergoes as a direct result of murdering the Latinx boy is sensational and dramatic for its exaggerated abundance of misfortune, however, this exaggeration is not strictly theatrical for Rivera. Rivera exaggerates the Anglo-American boss’ disastrous outcome to caution Anglo-American readers against contributing to the aforementioned discrimination and devaluation of Latinx individuals.

Would you like to live a long, healthy life, or one filled with lots of medication? Either way, the choice is up to you! A fast food place such as El Pollo Loco might be fast and convenient, but you could be ruining your health if you don’t select the right/healthier options available. This restaurant often advertises their “healthy” food options, but consumers need to beware the unhealthy options filled with calories and sugars. Overall, the foods we eat affect our health many ways, so we need to be conscience of the foods we order when we eat fast food.  El Pollo Loco, founded by Juan Francisco Ochoa in 1975,  is a Mexican fast food restaurant that sells attractive, appetizing foods for less. Selling chicken meals, burritos, salads, tacos, and much more, El Pollo Loco has a yearly profit up to $100 million. With one located in Rancho Santa Margarita, many people get a delicious taste of Mexican food. However, after a busy day, many people might not recognize the unhealthy choices when ordering.

“Amigos Mexicanos” and “Mayan Dusk” are fictional stories written by Juan Villoro. Both stories had many similarities mainly with both of them having unnamed protagonists as well as both being written in first person. These stories show a different side of Mexico and Mexican people. This approach taken by Villoro as well as his style of writing and use of humor gives quite some insight into Mexican life and Culture.
