    In the text, Pocho, by Jose Antonio Villarreal, education plays an important role of explaining the characteristics of the immigrants during the 1930’s. Education is one way for readers to have an experience of what they have been through. During the investigation between the protagonist Richard and sheriff, Richard speaks out some words that the sheriff does not understand. Villarreal writes, “ You mean homosexual? No, he wasn’t- this was a new word to the man. He was on the force because his sister had married a man who had something to do with the Chief of Police… Goddamn! Where’d you learn the big word?” (Villarreal, 89). This is an example of education because here the sheriff is investigating Richard by asking him for information about Joe Pete Manoel. Richard responds with a big word “homosexual” to the sheriff that he did not understand. This is a highlight of the time period when it does not need any education to be a patrolman in Santa Clara.…

    Analise Rodriguez Thesis

    I chose this person Analisse Rodriguez because I did not want to be mainstream and choose notorious idols such as Selena Gomez, Shakira, or Jennifer Lopez. Highly-ranked individuals such as Selena Gomez and Shakira already carry such endearing personalities and that disperse to their fans in a form of empowerment. For that specific reason, I believe that we overlooked the everyday people that surround us, for a lot of individuals are part of the Latinx community. We don’t realize the overall impact that our friends, family, or neighbors around us with the smallest effort they put into our society because of the booming hype of celebrities. A voice that embodies the world, and it starts with one of us no matter how minuscule the difference we contribute. It comes from somewhere, and all of us are influential to one or another whether it may be virtual or real. I found Analisse on a social media platform, known as Instagram. I followed her through a mutual public figure Michael Le when I discovered the two were in a romantic relationship. Being the nosy teenager, I followed the girl, and what I didn’t know was that Analisse only starts the beginning of inspiring others.…

    Guatemalans have a great sense of hope. The relative calm in Guatemala is as fragile as the sense of hope and psychological space on which it rests. If the space were to close, the sense of hoplessness that led the rebels to rise against the oppressive military would return, perhaps leading to another uprising. Nurturing hope in Guatemala is particularly incumbent on Americans. Now, Guatemalan immigrants who live in the U.S. send a substantial amount of money to their families in Guatemala. Without this money, these families would be destitute, leading to a state of unrest that could quickly disintegrate into war.…
