The 1959 novel, Pocho, by José Antonio Villarreal is an insightful cultural exposition told primarily from the vantage point of Richard Rubio, the coming-of-age son of immigrant Mexican parents who eventually settle in Santa Clara, California, after many seasons of migrant farm work. Although fiction, the story likely mirrors some of the experiences of the author who was born to migrant laborers in Los Angeles in 1924 and was himself a "pocho" - a child of the depression era Mexican-American transition. ("I am a Pocho," he said, "and we speak like this because here in California we make Castilian words out of English words." p 165)

The Paracas culture is based in Peru, which is the same area as the ICA (Paracas, Britannica Encyclopedia). The people in the Paracas culture wrapped the mummified corpses in an embroidered cloak, but the embroidered cloaks are considered to be the first type of textile art making. While it appears that the textile designs were offered in multicolored designs, it is related to the painted pottery of contemporaneous and eventually the Nazca culture. These people in the particular culture are involved with the artificial deformation of the skull, and it happens during or when a child or kid is at an infant stage of life because the skull of a child is softer and it is able to be more flexible in order to deform the skull.

“‘I would walk into town to see what the uproar was about, and this is what I would see: just what we’re seing now. Nothing. No one. The streets as empty as they are now” (41). The streets are always empty in Comala. It has been left completely to ruin and is now inhabited only by the spirits of those who once lived here. But even spirits must have a reason for staying and not going on to heaven? In following with the Catholic faith, the people of Comala must wait in purgatory, the “‘Refuge of Sinners’” until they have repaid the sins they have committed (16). The town is a hotbed of sinning, the very “image of damnation”, it is said “‘That town sits on the coals of the earth, at the very mouth of hell. They say that when people from there die and go to hell, they come back for a blanket’” (52, 6). The instances in which people are actually able to get out are few and far between, as seen by the quote “‘they’ve gone so far that it’s easier not to come back. He’s been trying and trying to leave, and I think this is the time’” (56). This is owing to the abject poverty of the town, leaving people unable to pay their tithes in order to make it to heaven. These poor soulds are not even kept in remembrance, so they may never reach heaven. As their descendants remark “‘we don’t even make the effort to pray for them anymore, to help them out of their purgatory’” (52).

In Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Páramo, various forms of oppressive behavior are manifested in the town of Comala – these range from the simple, readily apparent abuse of power to keep a population in line, as Pedro Páramo, having complete control over Comala, regularly does, to the very sinister use of religion as a means of reinforcing the patriarchal ideal held by contemporary Mexican society. In describing the oppression of society-at-large, Rulfo shows the sinister relationship that exists between power and the corruption of one’s moral standards through Pedro Páramo and Father Rentería.

A nation’s sovereignty and self sufficiency is all dependent on said nation 's economy, a nation with a doomed economy is bound to fall and fail its people. Such is the case with the South American country Chile, in 1973 under President Allende’s socialist regime. Salvador Allende was the short-lived president of Chile ruling from 1970 to 1973. During Allende’s reign, socialist destruction ensued, with crime breaking out frequently, complete totalitarian rule with all forms of media being regulated and controlled by a marxist government, a grief-stricken economy, as well as the abolition of all free trade, with tariffs up to 100%, extremely crippling the Chilean society and economy. As Chile was in shambles, it was inevitable a revolution

The main universal theme of Pedro Paramo is that death is inevitable. This is shown by the fact that everyone is dead in Comala. The author of Pedro Paramo is Juan Rulfo, he was born in Sayula, Mexico. His book collections such as The Burning Plain (1953) and the book Pedro Paramo made him a big literary figure. In Pedro Paramo, Juan is sent on a journey to find his father (Pedro which who the book is written after) who sent his mom away because she kept asking continually to see her sister.

The termination of one’s life is closely affixed to time one has to live; therefore, the actions made during one’s life are influenced by the knowledge of inevitable death. In the novel, Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo, this quality of being is a constant as characters approach death. Often paired with religion in the novel, death can no longer be simply regarded as a state of existence but instead as entity. Rulfo epitomized death’s interpretation in a scene where Susana (Pedro’s sickly wife) refuses absolution from Father Renteria (the town’s priest). This scene develops the relationship between death and manipulation through conflict and amplification. This makes it a crucial moment in the woven timeline of character’s existences to contribute to the theme: time causes mortals to manipulate death reflexively.

I also chose a picture of Disney princesses created by AleXsandro Palombo. There are a few reasons he states that are the inspiration behind the images. The first being that he suffered paralyzation in some parts of his body after surgeries to remove a rare cancer that he had. He is now disabled and experiences what he says is discrimination and humiliation. He wants to create an awareness of this problem. The next reason he gives is there are no Disney movies depicting a princess with a disability and he believes that now is the time for Disney to consider creating a princess with a disability because there are now more than ever so many people with disabilities. He wants Disney to get the message that “Disabled people have rights and are part of the world."

The next year, Pedro started the season in Bakersfield. He earned enough to live on his own for the first time. At the end of May, through ten starts, Pedro had a record of eight wins with no losses, and an ERA (Earned Run Average: the average number of runs allowed by a pitcher per nine innings) of 2.05. With his impressive start to the season, the Dodgers promoted Pedro to the AA San Antonio Missions team. During his stint with the Missions, Pedro continued to improve his pitching location. This allowed him to pitch further into games and as a result, four out of his twelve starts were complete games, and his ERA improved to 1.76. The Dodgers then called him up to the AAA Albuquerque Dukes, in New Mexico to finish out the season.
