The essay “El Hoyo” by Mario Suarez is about how the people in El Hoyo stick together and they have each other’s backs. They help each other when they are at the time of need. They all come together party and, celebrate with each other. They all eat the same thing but every group eats it differently from each other. They take up for each other when other people try to change the way things should be. The whole town comes together, whether they like each other or not. So they can have a good time with each other. Even though they may fight and argue with each other they are still like family to each other. Some of the advantages of living in my neighborhood is the school is not far from home. The school only a fifthteen minutes’ ride to the
Despite the efforts of the community to make the ranch feel like home, Josey struggles with this transition. It is too similar to the life he once had. Josey tries to adjust to this community, however, he is reminded of his family and his untimate pursit of vengeance agaist the men who killed his family. Josey recognizes that this ranch is a symbol of a new life, but in order to enjoy this he must first take of what is important to him. Josey is a wanted man and the longer he lingers around this community without killing off those men after him, he puts their life in danger. This is one of many honorable acts of Josey. He knows that he man not live on to see the further development of his new community, but he is still willing to fight for the sake of avenging his family and saving their lives.
One main doubt that many people believe is that home schooling makes a negative approach to one’s child social skills. This is based on the supposition that children who are home schooled are trapped at home all the time. People who still suppose that children are home 365 days a year are mistaken, because home school children have several opportunities to interact with other kids their own age. According to Dr. Brian D. Ray, his studies substantiate that, homeschooled students are engaged in outside activities. They are frequently caught up in activities such as field trips, sports, etc. Homeschooled children do not only hang out with people their own age, but they learn how to socialize with people of all ages. This is a great benefit because they learn to communicate and become amiable (Ray 1).

The Carrillo Adobe is in a dire situation. It has not only fallen into disrepair from the many years of weather and use by so many individuals, but by visitors and citizens have been less that kind and considerate of its age and the prominence that it deserves. After Carrillo’s death her house was given to three of her daughters, Marta, Juana, and Felicidad. Then her belongings were distributed between all of her children. In the first decade after her death her different children each occupied the house at different times. One of her daughters, Juana and her husband ran the home as a tavern. They then converted the adobe into the first post office in the town of Santa Rosa. After her daughters no longer had a need for the adobe it was turned into a trading post where numerous individuals...
Throughout the time I spent between the covers of The Prince of Los Cocuyos, I was astounded by Richard Blanco’s dynamic relationship with the novel’s sole “antagonist”: his abuela. It seemed that no matter how many times he was chagrined at her attempts to negotiate the English language, or was forced to repress his very personhood to meet her traditional standards of manhood, she never ceased to be a pillar of support for a young Richard Blanco. But beyond his grandmother, Mr. Blanco made it quite clear that he was surrounded by a pueblo of family and friends throughout his childhood and adolescence, a village that would confound his “becoming” but foster his growth, make him question his identity and yet be intricately connected to it. It
His execution of imagery, diction, and dialogue throughout the text were very prominent regarding these three factors. The authors use of pathos, sickly diction, and humanistic dialogue were very important agents to bring this piece altogether and alive. Especially with the subject of poverty and how it effects not only Flavio’s family, but as the text says “Pockets of poverty in New York's Harlem, on Chicago's south side, in Puerto Rico's infamous El Fungito seemed pale by comparison. None of them had prepared me for this one in the favela o[ Catacumba.” Poverty effects a lot of people, and awareness needs to be brought up through messages like
In the reading "El Hoyo" the author Mario Suárez deeply describes the city that he lives in which is Tucson, Arizona. In Tucson, Arizona there is a city known as El Hoyo meaning "the hole" in English; El Hoyo is the exact city where Suárez lived. Suárez conveys to the readers that El Hoyo was not the most beautiful place but it had many advantages to those who resided there. He describes a few advantages of the city such as it being a place to get away from bill collectors, hide from the authorities, receive help and a place of celebration. It was a home for Chicanos from all walk of life. The city has its ups and downs but the passion within environment remained the same. Each family was different, came from all sorts of backgrounds and moved to El Hoyo for different reasons. Although different circumstances brought them together it was one thing every person had in common; they were all Chicanos. That realization alone held El Hoyo and its people together.
Another aspect of Fernando’s life that he specifically mentioned as one of the most important things in his and also most other families in Mexico’s life was family. It’s clear that Mexican people are very family oriented and hold the view that blood is above all (or family comes first). He mentioned that his parents were still married as well all of his friends had ...
Blanco talks about real life events that have happened. He speaks of the daily life of kids riding to school on buses, people heading to work, whether it’s the teachers, restaurant workers, grocery clerks or
can teach our country a great deal of important life lessons. This play ties in perfectly with the United States current issue of immigration and gives a refreshing side of the undocumented immigrants struggles for a new life. It expresses the issues many undocumented immigrants face when leaving their old homes behind and trying to become an American citizen and the struggles that they will face. Issues this play brings to life for our society is allowing your voice to be heard. As an individual in our society we are all told our voices are heard but these are lies to prevent us from achieving what we desire. The voices we hold are small face many difficulties when attempting change anything but, as proven in the past, if we work together as a whole are voices can conquer any obstacle that stands in front of us. As our brave main character said at the end of the play “My story 's in the wind! It 's flying home, Mama! It 's in the plaza and in the fields! It 's in the Big Head of the Rich Man. It 's in the arms of the Poor Man, Papa! And he 's putting down his machete, and he 's telling the Soldier, "No Mas!" "No More!"” The story of Miguel and his journey will come to influence others to act upon his behalf. One by one, people will become knowledgeable of what fears he had to overcame when the odds were stacked against him. The current issue of immigration that is brought up to our generation can be a great stepping stone for what the future can bring to America. If we combine all our voices and make a stand for the good of everyone we can create a solution for the problems of millions. The next time you feel your voice is too small to be heard, be reminded of the young Miguel in the play ¡Bocón!, and face you’re fears and gather the courage to stand up for what you believe

On the other hand the neighborhood I live in now isn’t much of a neighborhood at all, it’s just a street that has multiple apartment buildings. I feel more as though my apartment complex is an entire neighborhood in itself than my street or my town actually is. There’s also upsides to a living so close to your neighbors such as you’re able to ask them for anything you might need and you’re able to get to know them on a more personal level. In my other neighborhood we also knew each other, but people didn’t seem to see each other as often or interact as much because everybody was so distant from each
Growing up in a massive neighborhood magnificent. My neighborhood flooded with kids around my age to hang out with. Occupying the edge of this neighborhood was a large park where the neighborhood’s kids and I would spend most of our time eliminating their boredom. When this park would not satisfy our needs, there were
Where I live is one of the greatest neighborhoods in the city to live in; however, it does have its drawbacks. Importantly, it has nearly everything a resident might want, beautiful picturesque scenery, proximity to shopping, and many of the cultural centers. Nevertheless, the roads can be some of the most congested in town, and the streets are not safe to walk late at night. Fortunately, I wake every morning to the most beautiful sun-lit house. I sit on my porch sipping coffee, while I drink in an atmosphere that steals my breath away.
In a traditional school, much time is wasted. The students need time to change classes, get out their homework, pass out papers, etc. Even getting to school is a long trek for some students. In a home schooling setting, these trivial tasks are greatly reduced. For example, the first day of school in a public or private traditional school normally means a lot of paperwork and administrative tasks. Students spend most of the day getting lockers and filling out emergency cards so t...
