(Page 1702) Only to get a well deserved beating. Although Sancho sometimes just simple warns his master to avoid trouble. When Quixote mistakes windmills for giants. He tells him, no those are just windmills. (Page 1701) Sancho is able to live in both worlds, reality and fantasy. It is whatever suits him at the right time or occasion.

Now, by accepting their encouragement and succeeding on his own, without their support, he had become a stranger. They taunted him and tried to distract him during class. When the other boys realized that raul was not going to be intimidated, they gave up and halfheartedly joined him. He only ate beans everyday, because his family didn’t have much money; also there was pressure from his father to get a full-time job so that he could contribute to the family’s meager income. He was stabled by Alberto Mendoza who jealoused at him about the academy awards. I think he can overcome these obstacles because he had the confidence and potential.

    Gregorio Cortez was born on a ranch on June 22, 1875 between Reynosa and Matamoros on the Mexican side of the river. He then relocated to Manor, Texas and a couple of years later he began working in a farm in Karnes and Gonzales counties. As we can see Gregorio Cortez is an ordinary man in an “ordinary world” just trying to survive and have a decent life. His “call to adventure” came when Sheriff Morris questioned Mexicans about a stolen horse, thus Gregorio was approached and questioned about the situation. Everything was going smoothly until the interpreter misunderstood Gregorio’s reply by failing to identify that in Mexican Culture there is a distinction between a horse (caballo) and mare (yegua). Gregorio said he never traded a horse…

    The first individual he discussed in his writings was the leader of the indigenous people of Mexico: Montezuma. Racially, Castillo believed him to be quite in-shape with adequate mussels and build. He was of “usual Indian complexion” and his hair was not long like most Indians, but short above his ears (24). Culturally, Castillo saw Montezuma as being mostly grandiose. He had many mistresses and two wives. He was very spoiled with numerous amounts of servants that adhered to his every need. Even Castillo seemed amazed that at every meal prepared for the leader of the Mexicans, thirty different dishes were prepared and that he sometimes even fed on the flesh of young boys. Being that the weapons they had were more adapt then his own, “[swords] that cut much better than our swords,” Castillo was vastly impressed with the arms Montezuma possessed (24). Not only were the weapons better, but they were significantly decorated as well. While Montezuma was viewed as very elegant and over-the-top by Castillo, the peoples of Mexico were regarded slightly…

    The Mexican Revolution occurred around the 1930s to the 1990s and during this time the United States imperialism and notion of civilization and progress was taking place in Mexico. The three main characters each have different stories and different reasons for being in Mexico to achieve redemption. Ambrose Bierce also known as the old gringo was a journalist for William Hearst in the 1900s. His whole family left him because they were so shamed by what he wrote. He describes his writing as mocking God, his Homeland, and Money; and his family thought when would they be next for him to go against them, judging them, telling them their no exception, they prove the rule, and are all part of the ludicrous filth, the farts of God, we call humanity. (Fuentes, p.75) Some of the family left him through death and others left by just choosing to never see him again. The old gringo joked, “I think my sons killed themselves so I wouldn’t ridicule them in the newspapers of my boss William Randolph Hearst” (Fuentes, p. 73). Through his journey of redemption he met up with General Tomás Arroyo’s revolutionary group on the Miranda hacienda in northern Mexico. His plan of redemption was through death, “He wanted to die because everything he loved died before him” (Fuentes, p. 37)…

    Sixteenth Century Spain was a time where the citizens had to do whatever was necessary to survive. The story of two young men in Michael Alpert’s interpretation of Lazarillo de Tormes and The Swindler brings truth to the sacrifices one went through to survive.

The mindset of Spaniards being honorable, truthful, religious, are all discounted in the travels of the young picaros. The adventures of these young men will prove the point that not all Spaniards lived by this motto in such a way that you will not put the book down until you find what the next day will bring to their crazy lives.…
