    What makes Nora Rodriguez a hero is that she helps Central American immigrants become mexican citizens and will do anything to help her clients. In the article "Honduran Entrepeneur helps Central American Immigrants gain Legal Status in Mexico" by Mayela Sanchez states that " The immigration office only gives applicants a list of required documents but doesn't advice them how to fulfill the requirments." The evidence shows that Nora helps Central American immigrants fill out there papers to fulfill all the requirements without the form telling them how to. I can relate this to another hero that stood up for what was right. His name is Cesar Chavez. He stood up for farmworkers who were working all day. He stood up for them and never stopped…

    As written by Isabel Allende, the novel “Ines of My Soul” captures the Spanish Conquest of the South Americas during the early to late 1500’s. In this story of Inés Suárez, an actual historic figure who lived in the early-mid 1500's and one of the founders of Chile, she is a very old woman about to die and is recounting the story of her adventure-filled life to her daughter. She was born into a poor family and spent her childhood in Spain, and eventually made her way to the New World. She lived in Peru for a short period of time and fell in love with Pedro Valdivia. Pedro Valdivia was born into nobility as a hidalgo. Well educated and honorable soldier for the Spanish Army, Pedro goes to the New World in search of fame and adventure. Along his journey he meets Ines and together they fall in love and lead an expedition to Chile to found the colony and the city of Santiago. In addressing the question as to who was more instrumental to the conquest and settlement of Chile during this timeframe, we bring to light both contributions made by both characters, Ines and Pedro. But overall after viewing the contributions made, we see that without the presence of Ines Suarez, this would not have been a successful conquest.…

He and his fellow researchers start their observations by giving some of the Dominicans, in Reading, surveys about their homes, health, stress, migration history, and other things. They find that 7.6 percent of Reading’s population is Hispanic, which is double Harrisburg’s percentage (Harrisburg is the community with the next closest percentage of Hispanics).

    Even though most of Latin America became independent of European colonial rule in the 19c, what were some of the cultural influences and other ties that still existed between the two continents? Between 1810 and 1825, all the Spanish territories on the American mainland gain their sovereignty from Spain. Simultaneously, the power of the Catholic Church diminishes, including its patronage of the visual arts. During these war-torn years, cultural production declines. These years witness political reform and the beginnings of self-fashioned societies. Caudillos or military dictators initially fill the vacuum left by the break-up of colonial rule, including Juan Manuel de Rosas (1793–1877) in Argentina, Francisco Solano López (1827–1870) in Paraguay, and Juan José Flores (1800–1864) in Ecuador. Economically, there is a slow adaptation to the world economy. A growing awareness of the continent's enormous natural riches and economic potential lead technological development and an intense nationalism.…

    (Editor’s Note: The author set out to observe a day in the life of her husband’s uncle, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, as he presides over what is one of the most important trials in the country’s history—the impeachment of the Supreme Court Chief Justice. Graciously welcomed by her subject into his home and allowed to tag along to the trial, she came away with much more than just the details of a daily routine. The star of the moment obliged her with a sometimes tearful recollection of his life, enough material perhaps for a scriptwriter like the author and a director like her husband Carlitos Siguion-Reyna to turn into a riveting movie.)…
