Bill Moyers once said, “What's right and good doesn't come naturally. You have to stand up and fight for it - as if the cause depends on you, because it does.” He is absolutely right. People have to fight for what they want and what they believe in to get what they want. One can’t just get things you want for free, people have to work for them. In the story 90 Miles to Havana, by Enrique Flores-Galbis, The theme of the novel is to stand up for yourself and what you believe in.

So in the book, 90 Miles to Havana, by Enrique Flores-Gulbis, the main character Julian had to move away and had to struggle without his family and wanted to find a way back home to his family.

So my theme is to never give up on the ones who love you.

Firstly, in the short story “Volar” by Judith Ortiz Cofer the setting plays a key role in understanding the characters and their lives. This story’s particular setting is in the tiny apartment of a barrio in an urbanized American city. In the following excerpt Cofer gives the reader

The novel “The Street” by Ann Petry demonstrates the relationship of Lutie Johnson and urban setting by personifying the wind, using imagery to show how brutal the wind was, selection of detail and figurative language in which refers to a deeper meaning of the wind-racial discrimination.

The authors are able to convey the theme of poverty by creating similar settings in New York City and Ireland. Lutie, the main character of The Street, walks down the frigid sidewalk of New York observing the setting surrounding her. The author illustrates the cold by writing, “She shivered as the cold fingers of the wind touched the back of her neck…” (Petry). This quote shows the way the author portrays the wind. She uses personification to give it life.

Imagine there is a small village living in fear of constant death from many probable causes disease, hunger, poverty, and corruption while nearby another group lives a life quite opposite of this small village. Where the small village can only dream of surviving to the next day, the others indulge in pleasure only imaginable to this small village. This image can be a visual representation for many things such as various dystopian societies in popular culture, the real-life conditions of the Jew’s in world war II or perhaps a corrupted society found in today’s world. This is how Tim Neville portrays North Korea in his article, “The Great Pleasure Project” where he and his colleague decided to visit the secluded country for its new ski

“I Am Cuba” explains the need for revolution in Cuba. The film captures the political oppression and the large disparity in wealth and power experienced by the people under the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista prior to the Revolution. In one scene, it portrays the foreign contribution to the prostitution and poverty epidemic in Havana. The American tourists degrade and dehumanize the prostitutes; the men consider the prostitutes to be “something on the side” after their drink orders, and they refer to them as “tasty morsel” and “dish.” However, one of the American tourists announces that"[he’d] like to see where these women live," and a prostitute named Maria reluctantly agrees to take the man to see her home. Here, the man encounters her poor and dismal living conditions. Her home is merely a shack. The mistreatment and abuse by American tourists on the Cuban people created lives consumed by suffering and destitution.

In the book 90 Miles to Havana, the author Enrique Flores-Galbis has developed many different conflicts and problems. One of the biggest problems in the story is on page 8 and 9 when Julian was fishing with his family and he lost the Big Fish that supposedly cost the family a lot of bad luck. One reason this is the biggest conflict is that throughout the story Julian and his family have had a lot of bad luck and everyone is blaming it on Julian for losing the big fish. Another reason this is the biggest conflict is this is one of the reasons of why Julian and his brothers were sent away to the US. When the story ends there are many themes that can show up one theme is “BELIEVE IN YOURSELF”.

As I stepped off the gargantuan, snow white cruise ship, I gazed at a colorful sea of retro-style cars zipping through the narrow streets littered with potholes. The day I had been anticipating and fearing was finally here. I was in Cuba. The customs office at the end of the ship terminal was institutional looking, with stark white walls and bright lighting. Eventually, my family left customs and officially entered Cuba. Before meeting our tour guide, we located a restroom. Outside, there was a rugged and dirty looking man selling toilet paper to American tourists, who forgot their own roll. However, the cruise line had forewarned us, so we bypassed him.

Cuba is an island nation that was adopted in 1902. One third of it consists of mountains and rolling hills. It lies in the West Indies, and is said to be a beautiful island. Havana is Cuba’s capital, and the center of government for Cuba. Some important cities are Santiago de Cuba and Camagüey. Santiago de Cuba is near the south-eastern area of Cuba, and has a population of about half a million people. It’s considered the second most important city in Cuba, probably because it’s an important sea port. Camagüey is the fourth largest city in Cuba, according to Wikipedia. The symbol of Camagüey is a clay pot, mainly because there are clay pots everywhere. They can be very small, or very big. They’re used to capture rainwater to be

Trinidad, an island ravaged by colonialism, leaving its imprints on many, notwithstanding our prized writer, V.S. Naipaul. Miguel Street, published in 1959, is a collection of short stories about a fictional street in Trinidad and its occupants during the 1940’s. Each chapter focuses on a character and the experience had with the protagonist, a young boy. The British flooded the island with English literature and education, leaving many of the islanders lost in the sea of the forced external culture. Naipaul captures the effects of this colonialism, especially so in chapter six. This chapter is focused around a man, known as B. Wordsworth, who speaks proper English and dresses well. The story shows us, as Beck states, “the colonized subject responding to the English literary canon thrust upon him by colonial education and an imposed foreign culture.”
