People tend to overlook the geographical location of Figueroa Boulevard and plainly assume residents of the area were working-class Mexican American without realizing that there are three distinct neighborhoods on this very street. In his work, “Los Angeles Geopolitics and the Zoot Suit Riots, 1943,” Eduardo Obregon Pagan notes the three neighborhoods along Figueroa Boulevard “the farther south in traveled in downtown area, the affluence of the neighborhoods grew in proportion to the whiteness of the residents.”5 This appears to be true since the neighborhood appeared to become more modern as one move down from Figueroa Boulevard. The residents of Chavez Ravine were native to the United States with Mexican origin with some immigrants from Central Europe and Italy. The neighborhood is considered to be old-fashioned since it was

In many novels today, it is prominent that the themes and issues are explored through the events, journeys and transformations of which the main characters of the story are involved in. In Isabel Allende’s City of the Beasts, Alexander Cold, a typical teenager at home with a finicky diet, fond of sports and music and in-love with the prettiest girl in school, discovers and endeavours multiple events that promote Allende’s most evident themes of the willingness to adapt and the coming of age. These themes are perceived as important and are developed throughout the story by the main character Alex.

At the beginning of his book “Your Inner Fish” Neil Shubin asks this question: “How can we visualize events that happened millions, and, in many cases, billions of years ago?” There were no eyewitnesses, Shubin says, no humans were around. The percentage of organisms that have been fossilized is very small and only certain species will ever be fossilized because of where they were located. However, this information did not intimidate Shubin on his hunt for his precious fish bones. Neil ties in the theory of evolution to explain how although life on Earth is widely diverse, all species have common ancestors. With the fish bones, he aimed to show how evolution caused one of the great transitions life has ever made- the transition from the ocean to land. Shubin, after six years, finds what he was looking for with the discovery of the fossil named Tiktaalik. This particular fossil is an intermediate between fish and primitive land-living animal.1

The extreme economic differences between people belonging to the upper and lower classes are ridiculously extravagant. One can see the living conditions between the rich and the poor are extremely unbalanced. This trend is evident in comparing two representative districts in Lima. On one hand is Villa El Salvador, a shantytown located in the southside of Lima where dirty, misery, and hunger are part of the natural landscape on the streets. On the other hand Miraflores, a high-end residential district in Lima where people of white descent live comfortably and the settings are dramatically more favorable than in Villa El Salvador. One can see luxury cars, big houses, and domestic servants of indigenous features in Miraflores and contrast

Black Fish uses the death of a recognized Killer Whale trainer at SeaWorld, Dawn Brancheau who was one of Tilikums trainers thorough his twenty years in captivity, almost as a framing device to explore the theory that possessing Orcas in captivity is corrupt and unnatural for the whales. In Black fish, there are many different tragedies that went on while the Orcas were in captivity. Fisher men separated the young from the mothers and took them into SeaWorld. Many of the workers were unaware of all of the immoral actions they were taking part in. Tilikum was the Killer Whale that ended up killing Dawn Brancheau and causing a stir in SeaWorld. Having Orcas in captivity damages them but, the trainers were scared to leave because they want to continue to care for the whales. There is a relationship shared with the trainers and the whales yet it is obvious that very little was taught in the SeaWorld industry about these intelligent mammals.

The relationship between a father and son is extremely important and can impact the son’s actions for the rest of his life. Trust is a crucial component to any good relationship, but especially between a father and son. In the novel Big Fish by Daniel Wallace, William, and his father, Edward do not have a strong connection. Edward’s exaggerated stories and excessive humor prevent them from having a deep and trusting relationship.

Erik Fisher, Paul Fisher's brother, made a number of displeasurable choices throughout his young life. Those decisions affected Paul in great, yet horrible ways. Here are three of the many.

I never thought I would return home until I was an old lady, or, at least, someday with my entire family. Instead, there I was, underneath the celestial sky, on the side of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains, in the town that I once lived in: La Esperanza. That night, a cool breath of air blew throughout the corners and curves of the cobblestone streets flapping the curtains of cement houses around like the skirt of a dancing woman. As I walk through the streets, the night cannot put the living to rest. Small children with dirt-streaked faces and hole-ridden clothes ran around the streets playing

The populist governments, seen in the 1950’s and 1960’s in South America, spurred industrial growth and a sense of “consciousness” amongst the inhabitants of the Latin American countries. The industrial growth greatly benefited the middle-class and the working-class; however, the poor were driven into shantytowns and rural areas. To illustrate the great poverty of this time in Latin America, people living in “shantytowns” resided in vast settlements built of cardboard and other available materials such as metal and sheets of plastic. These “towns” frequently lacked proper sanitation. One could imagine how living in these shantytowns would degrade the human spirit and foster a sense of worthlessness. The abrupt shift in the social classes

Fish Magic is a combination of a charming scene decorated with vibrant colors to make one of the most famous paintings. The painting by Paul Klee has evoked multiple emotions in the audience, as it has it is full of aura. The Fish Magic by Klee was completed during his prime years as an artist before he died of scleroderma. The painting has however remained to be one of the pieces which sparked the creativity of the painter and infused a different level of skills to create a new figure.

I have always like this until I got older though I never knew what it was for but I saw it all over the place then when I got older I knew that it was a christian symbol that was for Jesus. although I still do not know the whole meaning to the fish I still like the way it looks and even though it is a christian symbol I would still have one if I could get my hands on one it looks awesome. Ichthys is the Ancient Greek word for "fish." The "Christian fish," or "Jesus fish" symbol consists of two intersecting arcs tracing the outline of a fish.

Very few people understand and realize the real differences between cultures and how books tend to portray them. Love in the Time of Cholera takes place along the coast of an unnamed city along the Caribbean. The culture in this unnamed city is very strong and very existent. The author Gabriel García Marquez focuses on a more urban society rather than a rural one in this book. García Márquez shows less religion and more social detail in this book than in his earlier works (“Love”). In this book he not only shows the cultural detail of Columbia but, also their everyday life but as well as some common things in others’ lives who live in all different parts of the world. Although Love in the Time of Cholera is set ten to twenty years before the turn of the century,

By around 11 a.m. on what guarantees to be a hot early summer's day, the car influx on the Spanish side as of now extends from the fringe, over the seaside street and back to the town lobby, where Mayor Gemma Araujo is keeping an eye on everything in her office on the second floor, which has a perspective of the train of workers. Araujo is 33, a Socialist and the first lady in her position. It's not precisely the most remunerating employment in Spain. An "emergency torrent" has come to La Línea, says Araujo, and the circumstance is more genuine than any other time in recent memory. "Our city isn't bankrupt, however
