Mr Chavez Narrative

The “Struggle in the Fields” has always been a controversial issue. In the PBS series, we get to learn how many obstacles came along, when many Filipino farm workers along with Mexican American workers began to demand a change in the fields.

César Chávez, a civil rights activist in the mid-1900s, stood up and made his voice heard for what he thought was wrong. In the twentieth century he noticed that farmers were being treated unjustly and he wanted to give them the rights that they deserved. He led many strikes and ended up being a great role model to the farmworkers who wanted more rights and better wages. His voice spoke to the people, especially the farmworkers, about injustice and what is right for them. César Chávez led with determination by fighting for the rights of farmers by orchestrating an organization for worker’s rights, battling the government, and never giving up from his cause.

Throughout time there have been many people who have wanted to enact change or make a difference. Cesar Chavez helped migrant farmers with their unsafe work conditions and their lack workers rights. Mother Jones marched for children’s rights and to create child labor laws. Van Jones is fighting for human rights currently. These people all did amazing things and all fought for a singular purpose.Cesar Chavez, Mother Jones, and Van Jones all helped fight to enact change, by making people notice their cause and by having the perseverance to keep fighting for others to have better lives.

The article “Cesar Chavez Saved My Life,” written by Daniel “Nane” Alejandrez reflects on Mr. Alejandraz’s past, covering some very unfortunate events, but with a purpose of pulling emotion from the reader. While reading some parts of the article, I had to reread it over a few times to comprehend the point that the author was trying to make. The most important thing about knowing his past is that it is significantly different, and much more positive in the future because of one person, Cesar Chavez.

“If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat with them. The people who give you their food gives you their heart.” Cesar Chavez and his family moved to California he lived in a poor town called. Sal si puedes which means escape if you can .Then when Cesar Chavez was nineteen he joined the Navy in 1946. For two years but he stopped and joined the CSO in 1952 while working he began to work for latino civil rights. In 1965 the NWFA joined the AWOC in a strike against the grape growers . His bravery was with him the whole time .

Chavez used his life experiences in order to better the lives of many migrant workers in America. Key points in Chavez’s life that had

During his time at the CSO, he had met Dolores Huerta, a woman who shared his passion for obtaining farm worker’s civil rights. His plan was to fight for the rights of the migrant and resident farm workers in California. To achieve this goal, Chavez set out to form a “viable union” among the thousands of disenfranchised farm workers.

Cesar Chavez published an article on the tenth anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This article consisted of the importance of nonviolent change, and how the outcome will always be for the better. Chavez effectively justifies the morality of nonviolence, as well as demoralizing “senseless violence.”

Rhetorical choices can be made by a writer to perused readers of their point. They help the reader gain a better understanding of the argument, as well as add passion to the words. In his piece in a religious magazine, Cesar Chavez uses rhetorical devises to strengthen his argument advocating nonviolence in a religious magazine. Chavez uses rhetorical devises to form a persuasive writing style and appeal to the reader’s conscience and sense of reason in order to promote nonviolent resistance.

His final stage of the hero’s journey was the Return stage. Chavez had to adjust to a new lifestyle because after he went 25 days without food, he lost 35 pounds, and he was too weak to speak for the next 28 years. He mastered the 2 worlds when he won 3 awards for his leadership in the public/community service. He won the Pacem in Terris award in 1992 for public service with spanish cultures, he won the Jefferson award for public service. The Jefferson award is the highest award a civilian can get, so he was very honored to receive this award. Finally, he received the …

Civil rights activist, Cesar Chavez, in his article, argues that nonviolence is more powerful than violence. Chavez’s purpose is to prove that violence is never the answer and we should all receive justice using nonviolence. He adopts certain appeals in order to describe to similar feelings in farm workers. In Chavez’s article, he uses rhetorical devices such as ethos, pathos, and logos to describe the importance nonviolence has over violence.

Cesar continues by remembering an anecdote in which he continues to build the credibility: “In scattered instances, in San Jose, Sacramento, Oakland, Los Angeles and other places, priests would speak out loudly and clearly against specific instances of oppression, and in some cases, stand with the people who were being hurt”. Chavez continues to add to the credibility and appeal of the church by mentioning an encounter they had with priests from the church which is from a time when the priests spoke out about the injustices and even stood with the people. Chavez then appeals to the farm workers by mentioning “Frs. McDonald, McCollough, Duggan and others” they are people who fought side by side with them and they could be very important to these people.

Laborers all over America are, even today, feeling the effects of Chavez’s activism. He helped to spread awareness of the injustices and unfair treatment felt by the working class.

Who knew that in March 31, 1927 in Yuma, Arizona a wonderful man would be born to make a change? Chavez at a young age never knew that one day he will be known for what he did in his late life, however in the article ‘Cesar Chavez: Champion of Migrant Farmworkers” discloses that “It is hard to imagine how a man of such humble beginnings, and with little education--he never graduated from high school -- was able to galvanize

Cesar Chavez shows us in this piece just how upsetting violence actually is. The author relates to the audience through pathos and logos. Chavez also uses diction in such a beautiful way and he also makes a great deal of connection with his readers.
