In “El Norte”, Gregory Nava states that Guatemala was dark place to live there, and that the people were pick out food with their hands. There was a lot of people working and becoming slaves for picking out the food. Another thing about El Norte is that the brother named Enrique and the sister named Rosa.

The Determination of the Rio Grande being the Texas official border was influenced by many policies and beliefs. Although one large piece was influenced by the Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny was a belief that God wanted America to expand all the way to the west coast of the American Continent. The Americans wanted the Rio Grande to be the Texas border because of this belief. However, Mexico objected and claimed that the Nueces River was the Texas border. The United States did not want the Nueces River to be the border because it did not fulfill the Manifest Destiny. So then the only way to make the Rio Grande the border was to push Mexican out of the area. American had to make Mexico recognize that the Texas border was the Rio Grande.

The creation account of the Mexica/Azteca is called the five suns because it represents the previous attempts of creating life/ or the birth of a new sun. Throughout the process, four gods had to sacrifice their own life. This mythology reflects on the idea of birth, death and rebirth, which is exactly what happened with the past four suns. The first cycle of life or the first sun is known as Jaguar, the second sun is Wind, the third is known as Rains, the fourth sun is Water, and lastly the fifth cycle, which we live in, is known as Earthquake. The reason we are now in the fifth cycle is because the first four gods sacrifice their lives for the existence of creating a stable world, which is the one we live in.
