The Legend of The Chupacabra

El chupacabra is a legendary creature that has been running around Mexico, and various parts of Centralcentral America after its initial sitting in March 1995 in Puerto Rico when a farmer found his 150 livestock animals were dead bloodsuck. But the chupacabra also dates back in Mayan culture stories reveal a creature with a bat or lizard like face two arms and has the ability to turn into a statue. It even had a sharp snout that lends itself as a service that could suck blood from animals. And findings have been found identify terms like “goat sucker” in Mayan literature

The Prince of Los Cocuyos certainly touches upon the topic of “Coming of Age”. Everyone experiences it at some point of his or her life. “Coming of Age” is the transition from one’s childhood to adulthood. While this transition is taking place, one gains more responsibility and privileges. It may affect a person both, physically and emotionally. Everyone experiences it differently. During this transition, you develop as a human being.

Thesis: The Chupacabra has been a well talked about mysterious creature for years; some do not believe what our new recent evidence has provided.

Thomas King's "The One About Coyote Going West" encompasses a Cherokee variant on Native Creation, the role of Coyote, the effect of white people on Natives, and a moral lesson classic to Native mythology. Also prevalent is the clichéd "don't fix it if it ain't broke" idea wherein matters of concern deteriorate when tampered with.

Esteban Echeverria’s story “The Slaughterhouse” uses symbolism and horrific details that recount the time during the reign of the ‘Unitarios,’ more specifically Juan Manuel de Rosas. Rosas was the ruler of Argentina from 1835 to 1852. Echeverria and some friends to combat the reign of terror that Rosas put on Argentina founded a the “Association of May.” Once Rosas caught wind of this uprising he forced Echeverria to emigrate to Uruguay where he later died just before the downfall of Rosas’ reign. During his involvement in the Association of May, he wrote ‘Slaughterhouse’ or “El Matadero.” This story went on to become of the most influential pieces of political propaganda in Latin American history.

Recently, I read a story of “A Coyote Columbus Story” by King. The story included history, the discovery of island by Columbus. However, this was written in different point of view, not similar to general history books. He was described as an invader from the other island, rather than a hero who explored the new land. From First nation people’s eyes, Columbus must have been a foreigner who stole everything from their land. His characteristic was told to be rude and disrespectful. Why does it contain different story comparing history books? Why is Columbus described as an invader? I realized story depended on who is writing the story. I started thinking about how history books were written, and furthermore, considered why novels were written.

The Chupacabra is the legendary hairless, dog-like creature that is responsible for the cattle mutilations in Latin America. This “strange alien-like bipedal monster with red eyes and a long, thin row of spikes down its back” rips its victims apart and removes the ears, eyes, lips, and some organs (Coleman). Also, it sometimes drains the blood completely. The creation of the Chupacabra says a great deal about humanity. The legend of the Chupacabra shows that humans want an explanation for abnormalities, let their imaginations run too wild, and need a scapegoat for their carelessness.

In the reading “Monsters” By Andrew J. Hoffman in the section by Mike Davis called “Monsters and Messiahs” talk about the Urban Legend The Chupacabra. In the section, Davis uses the word “Messiahs” in discussing The Chupacabra because the monster was considered a leader of a particular group. The particular group would have to be in Mexico The Chupacabra was first brought in Puerto Rico. But then travel to California in the city of San Fernando. The Chupacabra has a made a big impact on people's viewing. The chupacabra is an urban legend, it is combined with varieties of animals put together. The chupacabra was called a Messiah because it was a lightning rod for immigrant anxiety. Meaning whenever something tragic would happen in the community

There are some people who inaccurately believe that sightings of the chupacabra date back to the 1970s, but the chupacabras first sighting report did not come until 1995 in Puerto Rico. The chupacabra seemingly suddenly sprang into existence and no one knows for sure why or how the chupacabra came to be. The chupacabra had a zenith of about five years, when it was wide-ly reported in Mexico, Chile, Nicaragua, Spain, Brazil, Argen-tina, and Florida among other places (Radford Tracking). In Hawley, Texas there was a report of a goat man and they called it “The Hawley Goat Man.” The strange thing about this is that in the report of the goat man in mentioned a creature covered in scales and fur, which bears little resemblance to most re-ports of the chupacabra, this alleged encounter happened near Fort Worth which is over 160 miles east of Hawley (Radford Texas).

Chupacabra is Spanish for “goat sucker”. The creature’s name derives from stories in Latin America of several dead goats with puncture wounds in their necks and all the blood drained from their bodies.

The Huichol people were hunter-gatherers back in pre-Columbian time. Hunter-gatherers are a society whose main survival way involves straight procurement of not poisonous animals and plants from the wild. “Huichols were a nomadic people who followed the movement of large game such as deer and also sought out the various plant lives that they could use as food” (Furst 2006:56). Huichols spent rest of their time in farm back then. As Zingg states “Huichols evaded being conquered by the powerful Aztec empire” (Zingg 2004: xxxiii). The invasion of Mexico by Spain had an incredible effect on the entire native people of Mexico in sixteenth century. Huichols and rest of indigenous people were under stable risk of being arrested and forced to be labor in the mines after a big level of silver mining bean after victory of Mexico (Zingg 2004: xviii). Huichols started to move to central Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mountains during the time that Catholic disciples have been forcing them to change those Huichols who had been imprisoned. This became very difficult for Spanish to apply their influence. The chaos which happened from this movement of being independent from Spain proverb Huichol from moving as the new government of Mexico rook claim so much of their lands in nineteenth century (Zingg 2004: xxvi). Mexican revolutions’ violence was to force Huichol people to move more in to the Sierra Madre next to the states of

In 2014, ten thousands of unaccompanied men, women, and children primarily from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala traveled to the United States seeking asylum. This mass immigration was characterized by the United States government as a humanitarian crisis and gained widespread media and congressional attention around the United States. Large majority of this attention was speculation about the cause of increase in immigration and plausible U.S. responses. The United States government along with the Department of Homeland Security created specific strategies to control immigration along the “Northern Triangle” and throughout Mexico. Yet, the assumption that such strategies would effectively deter Central Americans from trying to cross the

The legend of La Llorona has been embedded into the Mexican and Chicano/a culture for more than five hundred years, primarily bringing fear, caution, and death to young children. Said to be dresses in all white with long black hair, La Llorona revolves on bringing fear to kids and emphazises the mourne of the loss of her children. Many of the kids who are told this story serves as a threat to not go play by a river or to stay out when the sun has fallen. Reverting back to the time period of the Spanish Conquista when Hernan Cortez was battling for settlement, La Malinche, (also referred to as Doña Marina, Milinalli, or Malintzin) a Nahua woman, was brought to him as a slave amongst twenty others like her. Having caught his attention, Cortez entitled La Malinche to be his translator, advisor, and mistress.

Diaz often analogizes religious worship of native deities to Satanism, criticizing Moctezuma that “those whom they look upon as gods are not so, but are devils, which are evil things, and if their looks are bad their deeds are worse and they could see that they were evil and of little worth” (139). To emphasize the devil-like characteristics of indigenous gods, Cortés warns Moctezuma how “these Idols hold it that they are deceiving you” (152) and Diaz describes Huichilobos, their god of War, as monster-like, with a “broad face and monstrous and terrible eyes” (150). During Cortés tour of the temple of Huichilobos, Diaz describes how “there was another small tower which was also an Idol house, or a true hell, for it had at the opening of one gate a most terrible mouth such as they depict, saying that such there are in hell” (154) and then further describes the idol house as “the Infernal Regions” (154) in order to emphasize the Satanic representations of Nahuatl religions.
