My First Trip to Mexico It was one early December morning around 10 am, I receive a phone call from an unsual number. I didnt really recongnize. I answer the phone curiously wondering who it could be "hello..." in response, I get a answer in Spanish "Hola soy tu abela de Mexico, como andas hijo?" (hello I'm your grandmother from Mexico, how are you son?) I'm feeling shocked I haven't spoke with my grandmother since my 10th birthday, The moment sunk in feeling happy and excited. "Hola abuela, estoy bein aqi com mi madre trabajando para la familia con mi padre." ( Hi grandma, I'm fine here with my mother working with my father for my family.) In response "Estoy bein hijo, Resando todos los dias para tu familia. Te estranho hijo, te…

We all judge too harshly, especially our parents. As Italian writer, Silvio Pellico, once expressed, “Exigir a los progenitores, para respetarlos, que esten libres de defectos y que sean la perfeccion de la humanidad es soberbia e injusticia.” It isn’t until we are much older that we understand why they did what they did. I’ve still got many years to understand why my father is the way he was and is. My dad was born in McAllen, Texas, but lived most of his childhood in Cerritos, San Luis…

used in the Jaripeo that I attended. These riders hope that the spurs alone will be enough to keep them on the bull. This style of bull riding dates back to the 1980s. This style has caused many deaths for both riders and bulls. The hardest style of Jaripeo due to the risk is the Colima style. It comes from the state of Colima, Mexico. This is also the style that is different from any other style because of the way the rider 's legs are positioned and how the rider rides; instead of having both…

In some instances they come down there to find out why they were suspended. He spent most of his time showing me how a physician can be put on suspension and how to deal with them once they find out. He works with the doctors most of the time to resolve the suspension issue. One way he is able to help is by assigning most of the deficiency components to their residents for completion other than signatures. I have heard stories of how bad an encounter can go with an angry physician but Luis…

humour as its upbeat, non-diegetic nature undermines this grotesque imagery. “Historically, this film represents a violent reaction against what at the time was called ‘avant garde cine’ which was directed exclusively to the artistic sensibility and to the reason of the spectator.” This film constantly eludes the predictable nature of classical cinema through its surrealist art. Its rationality is peculiar and the events are never questioned by any of the characters, diverting from classical…

The Renovation of a Damaged People: Mexico’s Post-Revolution Cultural Recovery Throughout history, music, art, and literature have held key roles in dealing with and responding to current political events.

one person in the novel Tangerine. In Edward Bloor’s novel Tangerine, Luis Cruz fits the mythological archetype of mentor because he aids, is a positive figure to, and trains Paul. Proving to be a mentor, Luis aids Paul. Aiding him means to help him in some way, shape, or form. For instance, when Paul is scared of Erik and Arthur, Luis helps him by saying, “I wouldn’t be scared they’re punks.” And you shouldn’t be either”(Bloor 277). Although Luis tells him not to be scared he also tells him…
