    Johnson recommended a visit to the Camp Algona POW Museum, commemorating Algona’s World War II prisoner of war complex. Although unaware of its hours, or even where to find it, she insisted, “As long as you’re here, you have to see it.” She strove to capture my interest by commenting on the experiences of one of her friends, who grew up on a nearby farm. During the war, her friend’s father hired prisoners from the camp to work on their farm. The individual prisoners, whom her father favored, he rehired time and again, which resulted in an affable familiarity. Neva’s friend fondly remembered teaching the prisoners the church service in English and, in turn, the prisoners teaching her the service in German. This and similar encounters initiated lifelong friendships. For decades after the conclusion of the war, Algona families and former POWs exchanged letters and trips across the Atlantic to maintain relationships nurtured in these troubled…

He is a middle-aged man who migrated from Mexico years ago and has lived in Southern California for more than half his life.

    When Trujillo assumed power, the economic situation was appalling in all its aspects. On the one hand, customs, banking and major companies were controlled by US investors. On the other hand, the State had no monetary reserves, plus the economic effects of the San Zenón cyclone and the world economic depression of 1929. The situation prompted the government to enact an emergency law in 1933, Through which it tried to negotiate in 1934 the readjustment of the external debt. With both measures, the economic policy of the government began to be delineated, explained as "a particularized capitalist system" that descended to the level of personal property, because Trujillo became the great territorial proprietor at the same time that made of the…

    The American Dream – the dream of opportunity and prosperity achievable by one and all – has been, historically, whitewashed. The American Dream has been attainable only to those dubbed “Alpha” in our society – the white Caucasian male. However, this glaringly obvious division is brushed under the rug. As Paul Cuadros stated, “Whites deeply resented being labeled racist. But what they didn’t want to confront was that the economic and social structure of their communities favored them, to the disadvantage of others” (44).…

    In this essay racism and discrimination was part of Mr. Cruz’s life, although it was not directly towards him. The “business world” was very merciless with its discrimination tactics. Even when one of his careers hired minorities, it was only because they had to. They made sure to place them somewhere they would get visual attention, but the opportunity for growth and promotions were out of the window. Many people believe that money can buy happiness, Mr. Cruz found himself caught up into a trap, because although he went to school and had high paying jobs, he was not at all content with where he was in life. Which is where assimilation came into place. Stephen Cruz eventually became a professor, making less money than he has made in the past, but it made him happy to go to his place of employment each and everyday. And he was accustomed…

    Elian Gonzalez, a six-year-old boy, boarded a boat with his mother to leave Cuba and sail to the United States. During the passage, the boat capsized. Elian’s mother died, along with ten other passengers. Elian’s father was still in Cuba. After being admitted to a local hospital, Elian’s great-uncle Lazaro Gonzalez contacted the Immigration and Naturalization Service (“INS”). A few days later, Lazaro petitioned for asylum on Elian’s behalf. Not long after, another petition for asylum was filed, signed by Elian. A third request for asylum was then filed by Lazaro on Elian’s behalf after he was awarded temporary custody in a state court action. The three petitions were similar, citing that Elian was afraid to return to Cuba alleging persecution and the potential of being used as a propaganda tool for the Cuban government. Elian’s father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, had sent a letter to Cuban officials requesting that Elian be returned to Cuba. This letter was subsequently forwarded to the INS.…

    Javier Santiago seemed reluctant at the beginning of the interview. It was troubling to see him constantly rubbing his wrinkled face, fixing his watch, and shifting his short stature on the comfortable sofa. Plus, his primary instinct to care for his sick wife did not allow him to fully immerse himself into the essence of the questions at the beginning of the session. I noticed that every few seconds he would glance at my grandmother as if she were to abruptly walk out of the living room. “¿Y para qué es esto mija?” [What is this for?] he asked me as he adjusted the collar of his white, tucked in shirt. It was as if a part of him wished to be somewhere else; perhaps my 81-year-old grandfather wished he were sleeping…

    Jazz (Toni Morrison) Essay

    In his previous relationships that are problematic, such as his relationships with Dorcas, Joe lacks true communication and feeling. Even with Violet, his wife for over 20 years, Joe is unable to share experiences or have even a normal conversation. Joe does not know about Violet’s problems, for he never talks to her: Joe never learns “of Violet’s public craziness” after they move to the city—Violet is afraid to even reveal her own problems to herself, let alone Joe (22, 97). Revealing of the poor state to which the bonds between them have deteriorated, the narrator describes: “20 years after Joe and Violet train-danced on into the City, they were still a couple but barely speaking to each other” (36). In what is supposed to be the strongest relationship in his life at this point, Joe cannot sustain a meaningful link between him and his wife. Preventing these connections that had been present in the beginning of their relationship, in Virginia, when Violet “worked at anything to be with Joe whenever she could” are the changes that have occurred between them—changes that are brought by age and lack of communication (105). Violet no longer seems to care for Joe as she did before, for Joe describes to Malvonne, the woman with whom Joe is pleading to borrow her apartment for his affair, “Violet…
