At first sight, the photo indeed implies the theme that this African American woman looking forward to helping out the other people in need the community. The color is desaturated and the darkness takes over most part of the picture, which serves as a foil to the woman’s florescent pink jacket. Though the figure is small in the photo because of the extreme long shot, her outfit makes her stand out and grab the audience’s attention immediately. Also, when you look into this

In an enchanting excerpt by Sonia Sanchez christened, “Norma”, Sonia concludes the anecdote by turning away and never agreeing again. Sonia has disagreed to many things, but not to a drug-riddled woman predicting her kids would make it against all odds. However, if one looks deeper into the text, it is clear the gesture displays the author’s opinion on the blatantly rigged system.

Its vibrant blue color puts the viewer at ease, making the painting appear to be a tranquil and peaceful scene. As the observer’s eyes drift downward, they see the chaos as the Texans slowly lose the battle. At the top of the left building, a Mexican flag flutters in the wind, and to the right, another Mexican flag raises as the Texas flag is tossed to the ground. Through all this, at the bottom of the painting, hope is still shown: the Texans will not give up. Patriotism is shown as although they are outnumbered and their flag is lowered, they are still fighting. On the right side, it shows a man much larger than the others, shooting a man holding a Mexican flag. This figure represents patriotism in the physical form, and the observer can assume this man is an important figure in the battle of the

Today’s society sees college as a very fundamental step to obtaining success. Carmen Lugo-Lugo argues that instead of being focused on education, college is beginning to convert into a marketplace and a business. She states that colleges are now more interested in making a profit from their students than the actual education they are there for. Due to this mindset, the flow of the classroom environment and how students treat professors is affected. She also makes it known how prevalent systematic racism and racial profiling exist and tells the readers by her first hand accounts. In her essay “A Prostitute, A Servant, And A Customer-Service Representative: A Latina in Academia”, Associate Professor in the Department of Critical Culture, Gender, and Race Studies, Carmen Lugo-Lugo uses emotion and language to communicate her claim. Throughout her writing she demonstrates strong emotion-evoking words, and hyperboles.

A poorly structured government causes the countries people to fight for freedom. This was the case in the Mexican Revolution. This revolution caused a lot of fighting. As a result of the revolution, the people of Mexico gained a healthier government and personal expression and freedom.

Another symbolic image in this mural is the bald eagle. In America, it is also a way of displaying freedom because that is the emblem of our nation. The last main symbol in this mural is the Native American woman because Native Americans were here in the land we call as the United States. They were nomads who traveled throughout the country and even beyond the country since there were no border or a sign displaying if they can pass or not. They were just free to go anywhere with no problem at all. Overall the whole message of this powerful mural is that migrating is natural for the reason that animals and human beings have been migrating since the beginning of time. In other words, they had freedom to migrate from place to place. This message can be connected towards the Latino community because many of them come to America to start a new life where they can have opportunities for themselves and their family. But coming to America, is not allowed without having papers since it is illegal and what Levi Ponce is saying in his mural is that they should come without having a problem because they just want their life change for the

In Jeanne Laskas’ article, “Hecho en America”, which translates to “Made in America”, Laskas recalls when she spent a season with the blueberry pickers and argues how they are responsible for providing the fruits Americans consume. According to her article, “Most of the people who pick our food come from Mexico. They blanket the entire country, and yet to most of us they 're strangers, so removed from our lives we hardly know they 're here, people hunched over baskets in the flat distance as we drive down vacation highways. ” She is basically saying that the fruit pickers are taken for granted. Then, she states her argument that in the media and during election times, illegal immigration is a big problem and something must be done. They are taking American jobs, jobs that no one in America wants to do anyway. All of these things are used to distract America from the back-breaking, hard work these people do.

El Patron needs a new heart and Matt is the only supplier. He wants to believe that the old man loves and would never kill him; nevertheless, he has to face the truth. On page 218 it states, “No matter how treacherous El Patron had been, Matt loved the old man.” Discovering that El Patron only needs Matt for spare parts crushes the boy. He feels that his “accomplishments were a sham. It didn’t matter how intelligent he was” (216). Maria, Matt's childhood friend, tries to help him escape from the clutches of El Patron. While they are trying to figure out a plan she tells him “You’re not a dog. You’re so much, much more” (217). The truth about his purpose only discourages him, but he overcomes it and takes action. Though Matt is still hurt and

The Latino community is ironic at Viana’s college because it was unforgiving if you do not make your Latindad known. For example Viana stated, “Knowing how hard it could sometimes be to accept the group and have the group accept you in return” (Garrod, 2012, p. 113). Rather than being a group to bond with each other and embrace their ethnicity, the group gossips or rejects members. This fact about the group was surprising to me. I am in a club known as National students speech hearing language association (NSSHLA), where everyone in the group is close with each other. Each member tries the help each other especially when we all take the same course, we help each other with homework. I visualized that all groups/clubs members for any organization

As for my Visual Analysis Task, I have chosen to write about this image on the left. This piece was recently created by Shepard Fairey a street artist. This was made in response to the election of Donald Trump- known as the President of the United States. ‘We the People’ features portraits of Native Americans, African Americas, Muslims, and Latinas portrays in Fairey’s trademark style with slogans such as “Women are Perfect” and “Defend Dignity”.

The image portrays desegregation between the black and the white community. It also illustrates the time in the 1950s when the Aboriginals spoke up and started to organise political affairs/ matters, and the non-Aboriginal people helped and further encouraged them. These people were called unionists. From then on, the unions and Aboriginals worked closely together to cause a referendum

Univision News anchor Maria Elena Salinas, one of the most recognizable and respected journalists in Spanish-language media or known as the "Voice of Hispanic America" by The New York Times is stepping down.

The use of propaganda was an effective form of recruitment as well as an expensive expenditure for both the Republic and the fascist. Both sides vigorously publicized doctored views of the mounting progression of the skirmishes they faced in concurrent to their respective causes with the Republic seeking the aid of sympathizers and the fascist seeking that of the Nationalists, most notably, Nazi Germany. Posters used by the fascist, often endorsed a call for military action as a front to increase their number of enlisted men. One illustration of this is the Por Las Armas - La Patria el Pan y la Justicia. The poster depicts an assertive grasp of a rifle, which champions the use of military action as an ultimatum for the security of “[Spain],

An important part of the operations of an organization are the challenges that accompany them. An operations manager needs to work through these challenges and manage their time effectively otherwise the operations of the company could become inefficient. This can be a difficult task as a manger will likely never have time for everything and they will need to choose their priorities. (Zimmerman 2013) However in order to order to analyze the challenges that arise in the operations of La Senza it is necessary to know what operations are being disrupted, it is necessary to know how operations would be run without any problems.
