Marissa Wohlferd Dr. Rodriguez Milanés LIT 3823 26 November 2014 We All Wear Masks This semester was packed with new readings on levels I had yet experienced. I was introduced to new cultures, lifestyles, and the histories attached. These poems and novels all contained the most unique characters, all of who experienced the most unusual situations. There was not a character that could match another, each expressing different talents, flaws, and desires. Amongst our readings, one character sat

Bourdieu describes habitus as "a power of adaptation. It constantly performs an adaptation to the outside world which only exceptionally takes the form of radical conversion" (Bourdieu, 1993). Bourdieu's concept of habitus enables us to understand women as a complex amalgam of their past and present (Bourdieu, 1990a), but an amalgam that is always in the process of completion. There is no finality or finished identity. At the same time, habitus also includes a set of complex, diverse predispositions

Summer Reading Assignment The short stories which are to be examined in this document are The Indian Camp by Ernest Hemingway and Two Words by Isabel Allende. Both stories were manufactured in brilliant yet ostensibly natural fashion that ignites in the reader, a fusion of profound interest and awe. Ultimately, the stories unite in their tackling of the sacred solemnity of love and death and the thin filament that separates yet binds both entities. Both tales dwell and arguably thrive in their

was seen was Latin America, specifically Chile, which faced the possibility of a democratically elected Marxist president by the name of Salvador Allende. The U.S. assumed that Allende, having communist ideals, would install a totalitarian government in Chile similar to that of Stalin’s regime if he was to be elected into office. The U.S also viewed Allende as a threat to U.S national security because his presidency in Chile could create a “domino effect,” whereby the fall of one Latin American country

self sufficiency is all dependent on said nation 's economy, a nation with a doomed economy is bound to fall and fail its people. Such is the case with the South American country Chile, in 1973 under President Allende’s socialist regime. Salvador Allende was the short-lived president of Chile ruling from 1970 to 1973. During Allende’s reign, socialist destruction ensued, with crime breaking out frequently, complete totalitarian rule with all forms of media being regulated and controlled by a marxist

Reflective Statement Neruda Poetry Throughout the interactive oral, we discussed Neruda’s beliefs and how they influenced his poetry. Moreover, we discussed how these things not only influenced his writing style, but also his life. Previously, I thought that I could not relate to Neruda because his beliefs differed very much from mine. These beliefs clashed because Neruda is from a Latin American country that is communist, and he is also a communist; while someone like me lives in the United States

Resuscitation Pablo Neruda’s poem “The Chosen Ones” is a perfect incorporation of torment and influence, acting to sadden as well as impact the reader to influence further action against intolerance. Neruda uses allusion when referencing the years of events of significant suffering that are important in Cuban and world history, recalling his own first hand experiences himself, and the significance of understanding these dates and events. Neruda uses a tone that is volatile, characterized by an increase

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: “GOOD” IS NOT ENOUGH, CHILE Introduction Chile's economy is considered one of the most developed in Latin America, and is believed that it will be a developed country between 2018 and 2020. It also has the highest Human Development Index (HDI) in Latin America. According to IMF estimates, the country will reach a GDP per capita of just over 18,000 USD over a period of 4 years (2014). In early 2010, Chile became the first full member of the OECD in South America and second in Latin

Though Chile had been an authoritarian regime under US influence for years, it collapsed in the 1960s, when social movements began to emerge prompting many to question existing social and political policies. Socialist Salvador Allende won the presidency under the platform that more would be given to the citizens of Chile, as opposed to foreign investors. The US had previously been involved in funding political campaigns, but relations turned sour in 1970 when Chile became a socialist state. Many

jungle pursued by Cambray 's dogs occupied only a part of my thoughts” (Allende, 134) Those words are said by Zarité, the main character of the book Island Beneath the Sea by the Chilean Isabel Allende, translated and published in the United States on 2009. It starts on the Island of Saint-Domingue (actual Haiti) from 1770 to 1793 and the second part, take place on Louisiana, USA, from 1793 to 1810. About the main character, Allende said: "Of all the characters I created, that of Zarité for me that I
