The Globe Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz Analysis
There is a myriad of historical ideas that surprised me during this reading. My top three surprising historical highlights are The Globe, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, and the Spanish theatre, corrales. Throughout my whole learning experiences, I have never come across the corrales. Usually, I would learn about how Spanish is very religious based and how they are very well-known for discovering New Worlds. I would always hear Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan. I never really learned about the Spanish theatres nor dramas. I did not know that they had to license their plays and that they have an expiration date on them. I thought they were allowed to perform plays as long as it’s religious based and in the church.

Seguin father Erasmo, became a friend to Stephen F. Austin and the colonist in the area.

    Word and Women of God Before her Response to the alleged “Sor Filotea de la Cruz”, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz who was a nun in what was called “New Spain” (at the time) had privately shared a commentary piece she wrote on a decades-old sermon which somehow fell into the hands of a bishop of Puebla who published said commentary in addition to his own thoughts on what Sor Juana had to say without her knowledge or consent. He did this under the pseudonym of “Sor Filotea de la Cruz” so that it would seem to anyone without intimate knowledge of the situation that it was a fellow nun who advised Sor Juana to focus on her secular studies as opposed to sharing her personal opinions. Sor Filotea was a sister who, like Sor Juana, believed in higher education…

    In Christina Garcia's, Dreaming In Cuba, we read about three generations of a Cuban family torn apart by their environment. Political turmoil force the del Pino family to split and cause animosity amongst each other. It is centered on the complicated relationships and bonds between mother and daughter. Garcia expresses the story in a mixture of first and third person narration. This method paints a portrait to show the diverse mother-daughter relationship, allowing readers a multi-view perspective of not only bonds but also complications. The mothers of the story are portrayed to be the villains by their own daughters. We see this through three generations, Celia, her daughter Lourdes, and Lourdes daughter, Pilar. Interactions between mother and daughter headline the majority of the dialogue in Garcia's story. However, the fathers of the story are in the background and respected by their daughters. The story doesn't give too much insight on Lourdes father, Jorge or Pilar's father, Rufino. It's as if the most influential parents are despised, while the fathers are praised. Pilar, the protagonist, travels down a similar road her mother traveled. Pilar wants to be nothing like her mother.…

My admiration and respect for Sor Juana started since I was a child and one of my sisters used to read her poems. Through my literature classes I knew a little more about her and the…

    Mathew Restall’s Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest is a well-written book that serves an important purpose. That purpose being: the debunking of generally accepted falsehoods about the Spanish Conquest beginning in the 15th century. Restall’s book is separated into seven chapters that specifically address general myths most historians and students perceive as basic --- universal truths. Restall uses the term “myth” to describe the inaccurate/fictitious depiction of history “commonly taken to be true, partially or absolutely.” These “myths” are the progenitors of unintentionally self-centered perceptions of events historically recorded in subjectivity. The Self-absorption, relating to the…

    Most people, in this world, have a passion deep down inside of them that lead them to achieve what they put their heart and mind to. Fulfilling that passion is the most satisfying feeling. Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz is a well-known extraordinary figure from the colonial period. She is a great example of persevering to get through many obstacles in her life. Sor Juana developed a desire for education at a very young age and was highly noticeable in all of her literature. In the seventeenth century, it was the intellectual midpoint of Spanish colonial America. During this time Mexico City was politically and religiously the center of New Spain; the terrains went from California to Central America. In Latin American history, the church and state…

    Now why would we want to reexamine everything that we had been taught regarding the seemingly great explorer Christopher Columbus? Possibly, because the Columbus story much closer resembles a work of fiction, than that of a factual portrayal of the discovery of our country. This is nothing more than a grandiose myth. One that should not be taken lightly, as it very well could have serious ramifications. This innocent, seeming tale is often a child’s first lesson concerning encounters amid contradictory cultures and races. Consequently, it lays a foundation for a child’s beliefs about society. This vague, romanticized legend of a heroic voyager tells children whose interpretation of history to accept, and whose to disregard.…

    In the documentary El Contrato by Min Sook Lee, talks about how migrant works are working temporary jobs in Leamington Ontario. This town is viewed as a greenhouse capital, delivering huge amounts of produce foods seasonally. This documentary also talks about the critique of the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP). It’s very sad that we live in a world where we have people working for us for produce and we can not even respect them as humans in anyway. We treat them like they are dogs and not actual human beings. The migrant workers in the documentary faced issues in areas like: working and living conditions, access to health care and isolation (lack of community). Exploring these issues this identifies some of the key problems with…

    How society describes what is meant by a man's role is an important definition in every culture. What is right or wrong for men to do in terms of behavior depends on each community, and on people's own perceptions. Latin American culture has a strict set of values on sexual issues, reflecting a man's role in society. For all of the communities in Latin America there exists a relation between a man's role and machismo. The exaggerated sense of manliness that machismo stands for is evident by parents when raising their male children, and by communities and their expectations. Machismo represents a culture of traditions indeed, but how does machismo define the role of a man in his society?…

    A story that generally remains the same, is that of Columbus’ discovery of the Americas. It is engrained into the minds of American children at a very age that ‘in fourteen-hundred-and-ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue.’ We even gave him a national holiday to celebrate his accomplishment. However, it was not until I took English 3360: Survey of American Literature, Beginnings to 1865, that I was exposed to first-hand accounts of his arrival to the continent. One focus of the course was that of the discovery, conquest, settlement, and the literature of New Spain. It was in this section that we read Columbus’ letter to Luis de Santangel, in which he nonchalantly explains how he has found many islands that he has easily taken possession of because the inhabitants offer no resistance. He gloats how the natives have no way to defend themselves and how they still offer gifts to he and his men despite that he has enslaved some of them. (Columbus, 1493) Letters like Columbus’ and Cortes’ back to the Spanish crown shed a whole new light on the man and event that many of school children have put on plays about. It also extends some understanding to the experiences of the Native Americans and Pilgrims approximately 185 years…
