My book report was on “Esperanza Rising” by Pam Muñoz Ryan. The genre of this book is Historical Fiction. The publisher is Scholastic. It has a total of 253 pages plus the author’s notes. Esperanza Rising was published in the year of 2000. Some unusual facts about this book was that it had some Spanish words in it but English after so you know what it means. This book is a Pure Belpre Award winning book. The Pure Belpre Award means excellent portrayal of Latino experience in children's literature. I chose this book to read because the author seemed familiar and the cover of the book really caught my attention including the title.

The video La Famiglia talks about the emigration of Italian’s to America during the 1800 and 1900’s. It talks about the poverty that Italians had in their homeland, near Naples. I believe that this is the most influential and important factor as to why they decided to find better opportunity in America when it comes to income and security. What they encountered, as the state in the video was a lot of hardship and tribulations. Many of times the male would leave the house and look for work in America only to never return. Working in hard labor jobs like mining, Italians would be forced to work long hours for horrific pay and also time spent away from their families. I believe the message we can take away and the message that I took away was

The theme of the poem “Family Ties” is disconnection from the land. Jimmy Santiago Baca was from the Mexican and Apache heritage. He lived in New Mexico and was abandoned by his parents. At the age of 13 he ran away from home. Baca was in prison for 5 years and that’s where he accomplished reading and writing poetry. He published his first poems while he was in prision. Baca was abandoned from the people he loved by death or parting, which caused him to become violent and bitter in his teen years. Literature for Baca, were the seeds he would plant to grow roots in a land that was always discriminated against, ignored, and rejected, not just Baca but the Mexican and other Latino immigrants, African Americans, Asian Americans, as well as many

Growing up in a Hispanic household has its ups and downs. As a first generation Latina, I have family members that are always encouraging me, wanting the best for me, and pushing me to succeed in life so that I don't go through the same hardships that they went through. I have seen struggles my parents have gone through to get to where they are now, but giving it their all to giving my siblings and I the best.

A gang is an organized group with a recognized leader whose activities are either criminal or, at the very least, threatening to the community. (Walker, 2011) Throughout history there have been some infamous gangs that have gotten media attention and others that have gone under the radar. One of the more underground gang structures are prison gangs. The Nuestra Familia may not be in the news as much anymore compared to other gangs, but they are nothing to be taken lightly. Prison gangs have been around since the late 20th century and only seem to be getting stronger if nothing is going to be done to prevent them. Gangs in prison have members in and out of prison. One of the more popular gangs that has been gaining steam recently is

Families come in all types and sizes. There is no one perfect type of family. Every family is influenced by the world around it. The culture, socioeconomic status, workplace of parents, laws, and the media all have a part in influencing how families function. Families function as part of a larger system. According to Schaefer (2015), “Familism means pride and closeness in the family, which results in family obligation and loyalty coming before individual needs” (p. 189). The family plays an important rule as it is at the center of Hispanic life. Whenever an individual becomes friendly with a Hispanic individual, that individual is treated as a family. Although the tendency of Hispanics to maintain close ties with extended families which often

My grandfather was the patriarch of the Castillo family. Every word he uttered was law. He was a throwback from the old day, “un hombre de verdad” he often joked that he was one of the original caballeros, since Santiago was known as Santiago de los Caballeros. He was a proud man counting every penny. He made sure there was enough money for him to pay for his own funeral and even give his sons abroad money to come to the Dominican Republic when he died.

Feb 13 2017, adrenaline surged though my body as the thought of mission trip raced through my mind. “What is it going to be like? Who am I going to meet? How am I going to talk to the kids when I don’t even know how to speak Spanish!.”All these thoughts and more kept turning in my mind as the anticipation of our first flight drew nearer and nearer. “Bolivia”, just the name had a rustic feeling to it. In a quick 32 hours, we would reach our final destination for the next two weeks… Familia Feliz.

As expressed by Professor Waldinger, there are two factors that influence citizenship decision; cognitive and affective. Cognitive refers to does decisions that require critical thinking, it requires individuals to process things and making decisions based on the costs and benefits (Topic 8, Slide 34). The affective factor refers to those decisions made based on emotional costs and benefits and identity (Topic 8, Slide 34). Reflecting on these two concepts, Greta Gilbertson and Audrey Singer (2010) examines the reasons behind the Castillo family’s citizenship decision. With that in mind, this essay will seek to examine how cognitive and affective factors influence the citizenship decision of the Castillo Family.

Almost every woman in North America has some form of a relationship with their daughter and/or mother in their lifetime. However, these relation can vary in amiability and affection. Whether due to similarities or differences in personality or circumstances in life, mothers and daughters can be close confidants or fierce foes. These familial relationships have been studied in part by Marianne Hirsch and Sharon M. Varallo in their essays on “the familial gaze” and “the genre of family photographs,” respectively. In this essay, I will be using the work previously done by Hirsch and Varallo to analyze two different mother-daughter relationships presented in the television show Gilmore Girls. The two relationships differ vastly in their outward appearance, however both relationships show underlying characteristics of both friendship and animosity. Overall, these two mother-daughter relationships demonstrate that the love between a mother and a daughter can be expressed in various ways.

The family portrait that hangs on your living room wall says more about you than you think. With each snapshot of your loved ones comes a snapshot of history, illustrating the continuously evolving components that make up "The American Family." Here's what your family may have looked like at different periods of time.

This is the Rope: A Story from the Great Migration is about a little girl that recalls the journey of her grandmother when she migrated from South Carolina to New York City with her family. The rope is passed down from generation to generation and is used as a household item, to play games with, and hold objects in place. The rope also represents the changes, struggles, and memories that bind the family together. I would use this book in a literacy and physical education lesson with 2nd-graders. I would read this book out loud to the whole class. I would have students discuss, identify, and write about themes, traditions, migration, and how the rope was used in the story. Students would also focus on the vocabulary words; generations, block, college, reunion, migration, and locate South Carolina, New York City, and Brooklyn. As a class, we would then perform different physical activities using our own rope (walking, jumping, creating symbols and shapes). I personally liked the way this book used the rope as a meaningful metaphor to link a historical time period when African Americans left their southern homes in search of the freedoms found in the north. I believe this book creates a great starting point into understanding structure, sequencing, and the important historical events that changed U.S. history. I love integrating books with physical education. It allows students to be active, engaged, and creates lasting memories.

I was born into a relatively large family. Family was all I was ever surrounded by and, ever since I could remember, the idea of family and its importance has been drilled into my mind. Living in a mexican american household, this much was expected. And none were a greater example of these ideals than my grandfather, Rogelio Cabrera Sr.
