In the story “’Mericans” by Sandra Cisneros the setting symbolizes how Mexican-Americans, in this case, Micaela and her siblings, live in between two different worlds without being completely accepted into either the Mexican or the American culture.

What is your vision for America? This could very well take some time to think about. My vision for America would be no homeless veterans, an improvement on the education system, and the fast advancing of technology.

Confetti for Gino takes place in the booming fishing market of San Diego’s Little Italy and primarily…

What does it mean to be an American? Statesmen, poets, and politicians have pondered this question, and for years intellectuals and even average citizens have tried to pry into the meaning of being American. This highly subjective question resonates in a different way for me than it does for many of my classmates. According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, an American is “a native or citizen of the United States”. According to history books, talk show personalities, and political analysts,…

Throughout history, and even in modern times, there has always been evidence of the American Dream. The American Dream is the idea that you can go from nothing, working hard through determination and perseverance, that you can achieve wealth, success and equal opportunity. To accomplish these dreams, you need to keep your goal in mind, being proactive and under any circumstances, keep on continuing to work towards your happiness in life.

The U.S.-Mexican border is the most dangerous area in the U.S. and in order to prevent the leak of drugs and crime we need funding for any form of border control. To prove that the border between Mexico and the U.S. is dangerous and in need of better support, I did some research.
