Short Story Of Julio Perez

• Escaped from the Puente Grande prison in Jalisco, Mexico in 2001, by bribing guards to smuggle him outside via a laundry truck; a federal investigation later led to the arrest of 71 prison officials. In addition to the prison-employee accomplices, police in Jalisco were paid off to ensure he had at least 24 hours to get out of the state and stay ahead of the military manhunt. The story told to the guards being bribed was that Joaquín Guzmán was smuggling gold out of the prison, ostensibly extracted from rock at the inmate workshop. The escape allegedly cost Joaquín $2.5 million. Puente Grande (Big

If we had known about “Remember the Alamo!” it’s all thanks to Joe who came out of the battle witnessing all of the hardships of the battle. Joe was an African American slave who became an Alamo Legend. He was born into a slavery from Kentucky in about 1813.

Within the works of “Fiesta, 1980” it takes us in the lives of a Latin American family. We are described a traditional style Latino family were there is a dominate father figure, a submissive mother, and obedient children more or less. There are two boys the eldest Rafa and the youngest Yunior and their younger sister Madai. During the transgression of the story it is conveyed through the eyes of Yunior. And like any typical family it has its own story to tell.

In the early 1700s the Spanish set up a mission in Texas to house local Native Americans and convert individuals to Catholicism. The mission was founded by Antonio de San Buenaventura, and was called the San Antonio de Valero Mission. The mission had three locations. The first was near San Pedro Creek, the second was closer to where it is today and the third location of the mission is where the Alamo stands today. Alamo expert, Melinda Tomerlin, of alamo.org says, “While this is the third spot for Mission San Antonio de Valero, it is the only place the 'Alamo ' has ever been” (Tomerlin). In 1793 the Spanish government seized control of many missions, including the San Antonio de Valero Mission. They wanted to secularize the missions, and in the 1800s Spanish troops were stationed in the abandoned mission because of its key location. The mission then became a fort. The soldiers of the fort nicknamed it "El Alamo" (meaning cottonwood) because the fort stood in an orchid of cottonwood trees. After Mexico 's victory in the war for independence from Spain, Mexican soldiers were stationed at the fort until after the

The Battle of the Alamo was an extremely important Battle for the Southern States, and one of the well-known civil engagements in United States History. The battle only lasted 13 days, but was a major strategic point for both forces, the Mexicans and Americans. During the battle, many factors played roles in the outcome of March 6. Many of those factors belong to the Mexicans and the way they approached the battle. In addition, the facts that have lived in infamy since that day are well known throughout the people of the United States; the courage of those men and the famous men we know as Bowie and Crockett. However, there are many other facts that are widely unknown to those

The two burglars were illegal immigrants from Colombia, Hernando Torres, age thirty-eight, and Diego Ortiz, age thirty. They left the house with a pillowcase containing jewelry and approximately $2000 in cash. A plainclothes officer arrived just in time to see the three men facing off across Horn’s lawn, and soon both of the burglars were dead. Torres’s body was across the street in the yard of a Pasadena police officer and Ortiz fell onto a neighbor’s lawn, leaving bloodstains on the sidewalk.

In January of 1836 about 145 Texans were fortified in the soft walls of the Alamo also known as Cottonwood. Some of the important people here were lieutenant Colonel William Berret Travis, Jim Bowie, and Davy Crocket. Meanwhile Santa Anna drove his troops into Texas in the dead of winter to level the Alamo. They arrived and began their siege on February 23.

After DeLuna’s trial, prosecutors told the jury that police had looked for Carlos Hernandez but said he was not a real person, and had been a fabrication made up by DeLuna. However, four years after DeLuna was executed, a private investigator was hired to look for a trace of Hernandez. After just one day of investigating, it was found that Carlos Hernandez was indeed a real person, and not just a fabrication. Hernandez was an alcoholic and always carried around a certain type of knife; a buck knife. Throughout his life he was arrested thirty-nine times, thirteen times for carrying a knife and had been on parole for most of his life. Hernandez was also known for his violence against women. In 1979, he was arrested twice, on the suspicion that he stabbed Dahlia Sauceda and carved an “X” into her back. Hernandez was arrested 4 years before DeLuna and once again while DeLuna was on death row. To continue, only two months before DeLuna was put to death, Hernandez was sentenced to ten years in jail for attempting to kill a woman named Dina Ybanez, with a knife. Still, not one person thought to alert the state of Texas, of this

In Julio Cortazar’s short story, Axolotl, the young man is searching for answers to his life. He finds these answers in the small, Mexican salamander trapped within its enclosure at the Jardin. The axolotl challenges the young man to see the simplicity behind the mysterious guise of the small amphibian. The young man’s daily visits to the Jardin only make the appeal of the axolotls greater. In those visits he begins to see not only the creatures simplicity, but also their neotenous tendencies and connection to death; all of which contribute to his association and union with them.

In their attempts to maintain an accurate depiction of the organization, the authors do not cloud details to try and uphold any political or social agenda. They show how Mexicans felt justified in their struggle and how the Texas Rangers often misrepresented their own actions. One incident revolved around Captain William Warren Sterling of Hidalgo County. In his own memoirs, he made claims that he never shot, or even pistol-whipped a man. He wrote, “Throughout my lifetime, I have held a high regard and deep esteem for Latin Americans. Some of my best friends are members of that important segment of our citizenship” (p.270). Yet, the writers published a claim that Sterling shot and killed, among others, an innocent Mexican boy accused of

I will present today the reasons why I chose this short story called “House Taken Over” by Julio Cortazar. A story not related directly with my culture which is Dominican but it is Hispanic which could be the same in some aspects. First of all, this is a story set in Argentina and it centers on a brother and his sister. The siblings lived in a big family home, which has been in the family for generations. Both of them are in their forties and have never been married. They spend their days cleaning and then doing what makes them happy. She knits all day and the brother loves to read French Literatures. The following quote would be a physical memory of the brother remember his days in his house “It was a pleasant to take a lunch and commune with the great hollow, silent house, and it was enough for us just to keep it clean. We ended up thinking, at times, that that was what had kept us from marrying. Irene turned down two suitors for no particular reason, and Maria Esther went and died on me before we could manage to get engaged” (Cortazar, p.689). One night they heard noises and they refused to go where the noises are originated from, therefore they decided to leave the house and basically left us with the question of who took over their house? I made some connections between this story and my culture back to my childhood. All those anecdotes that my parents and grandparents used to tell me about the way how people lived before and actually now. The FEAR always has been

Sylvester started walking towards a section of town where people hardly knew him. He felt he was making the right decision. Piedmonts Park had something to do with it. If they arrived at the park later this evening, he would not have to worry about bumping into one of his co-workers because they would be off for the weekends.
