Maria Love Tarragona Summary

Stereotypes are what people generalize others to be just because their personal characteristics are different from one another. This has been an on-going conflict in our society because of the fact that it privileges certain people to have the more advantages than others when it comes to jobs, education, and who the people are. But the problem that society has when it comes to stereotyping is that they are not seeing the real dangers of what it has been doing too many of these people. Such dangers have led many to believe that based on skin color, race, gender, and other traits, people are potential threats, less privileged, and thought to be just different in general. In the essays “The Myth of a Latin Woman: I Just met a Girls Named Maria” by Judith Cofer and Just Walk on By: A Black Man Ponders His Power to Alter Public Space” by Brent Staples, the reader is introduced to the real life experiences of stereotypes and how they impact many of these lives in different ways.

Although I do not entirely relate to Mariatu or many of the tragic events that have occurred during her life time, one event during Mariatu’s life I do relate to is when she moved to Toronto. Firstly, I relate to Mariatu during this event in her life because both Mariatu and I moved from Africa to Canada.

Also, as it states in the book Mariatu had a hard time fitting into her new school. Although I did receive an education in Africa and Mariatu did

He then attempted to flirt with the seemingly naive woman, named Mariana. Jake tries to avoid having to deal with the insurance company, however Mariana does not end up buying Jake’s lies and proceeds to ask for his number, insurance, plates, and driver license number. Jake then giving her what she wants but because he does not have insurance, he ends

Nina is Maria Hill’s Nidoqueen. Nidorans, Nidoqueen's pre-evolution, are quite common, so I figured it'd be a good fit for someone who had a relatively normal childhood (I'm assuming...). Nina’s growth into a Nidoqueen felt fitting for the Pokémon of someone who's meant succeed Fury, so yeah, Hill found Nina, then a Nidoran, as a young girl and her parents let her keep the Pokémon.
