water and salt in an "amphibious" land inhabited by numerous species.

Nature & Landscape
Woodlands
They are a minute part of Camargue but they play a major role in the
overall balance of nature. Some are along the Rhone, others are on
former sand dunes south of Vaccarès (like the Rièges woods in the
national wildlife preserve). The forest hosts many mammals (rodents,
foxes, and boars) and insects eaten by nesting birds (little egrets
and night herons).
The sansouires
The low-lying salt plains, which dry out and crack in summer, are
carpeted with glasswort that the wild bulls and horses love to graze.
Submerged in winter, by spring they provide wetlands for marsh birds
(godwits, sandpipers, black-winged stilts, etc.). The glassworts and
salt crystals used to be incinerated to yield soda for soap making and
glassmaking, but by the end of the 19th century, the plant soda was
replaced by industrial soda made from salt.
Ponds and marshes
They cover a large proportion of the river delta. Partly dry in
summer, the shallow (20 to 80 cm) marshes are subject to the
unpredictable seasonal weather patterns of the Mediterranean climate.
They are nevertheless, with the ponds, habitats of choice for both
migratory and sedentary birds. Egrets, night he...

...e land means the loss of natural plant life, such as
reeds, and this then affects wildlife which depends on the reeds for
their habitat. Farmers use more and more fertilisers to compensate for
the loss of fertility. These fertilisers are washed into the soil and
find their way into the rivers or wetlands. Pesticides used on
farmland can build up in the water and kill off aquatic life.
Pollution from farming ruins the salt pans.

The Camargue Regional Park was set up in 1972 to oversee and manage
environmental pressures. There is funding from the EU to support
developments to protect the environment. Within the Camargue there is
zoning of various activities such as agriculture, industry, tourism
and nature reserves. Housing and farming are forbidden in sensitive
areas like the flamingo breeding grounds.

One of the primary unifying forces of the Cuban community in South Florida is La Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, or Our Lady of Charity. In 1898, after Cuba won its independence from Spain, she became the official patroness of the island. The Cuban soldiers credited their victory to the Virgin's intervention in their crusade for independence. The Virgin is seen as a religious tradition that strongly unites Cubans on both sides of the Florida Straits. In South Florida, Cubans throughout the United States gather each year to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of Charity on September the eighth. Alongside the traditional Catholic service, many within the exile congregation offer their hopes and prayers, to the Virgin, for a Cuba free from communism.
Carlos Santana Ryan Conroy All the world knows the special magic of Carlos Santana. Since 1966, he has led the group that bears his name, selling over 30 million albums and performing before an estimated 13 million people. In every performance, Carlos shares with his audience a personal communication that crosses all boundaries and differences. Carlos was introduced to traditional music by his father, Jose. An accomplished mariachi violinist and experienced musician, he taught Carlos the basics of music theory and gave him an understanding of the value of a note. Although Carlos' excitement for music would be sparked by his first experience, he quickly discovered the limits of its traditional form and wanted more.

Doroteo Aranga learned to hate aristocratic Dons, who worked he and many other Mexicans like slaves, Doroteo Aranga also known as Pancho villa hated aristocratic because he made them work like animals all day long with little to eat.

Los Vendidos means the sell-outs. All the characters in the play sold-out at some point during the play. The characters sold out both their races and their way of life. I would say that the person who sold out the most was the Mexican-American because he sold-out both his Mexican, his American heritage and way of life. He wanted to be perfect, so when he found that the Americans and the Mexicans had their flaws he sold them out. He now has to search for a new and perfect race to identify with.
Trip savvy says “Governor Portola moved northward from San Diego in 1769, looking for the Monterey Bay. His party found a small river and a coastal valley near the present location of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. There were many bears there, so they named the area La Canada de Los Osos, Valley of the Bears. Over the years 1804 - 1832 San Luis Obispo produced 167,000 bushels of wheat, barley, corn, beans, peas and lentils.

There are two major themes that are associated and unique to Nuyorican and Dominican-American literature. The first is that of an identity crisis. Although Mexican-American/Chicano literature also addresses the theme of an identity crisis, there exists a major difference between these two ethnic groups. A majority of Mexican-Americans and Chicanos were willing to give up their culture and manipulate their identity to assimilate into society better. El Norte is an excellent representation of this difference. The two main characters in the film, Rosa and Enrique, illegally immigrate to the United States of America for a better life. Once they cross the border, they do their best to shed off their former life. In order to do this, they practice
From the United States to Hispanic countries like Spain, the countries share their love for the same sports even though they are oceans apart. While they have their similar interests, sports interests differ in each of the countries as well. Without sports in the world, our cultures we know and love would be completely different and dull. They help shape our cultures and the people within them. Sports like soccer, football, and baseball are sports that we know and love in Hispanic and American countries. We all know what they are, but the way they are played, their histories, and our passions for these sports differ and correspond.

En la tiempo de sus obras las mujeres estaba tratando salir de los estereotipos de antes. Esta problema social tomo un afecto en Elena. Aunque ella no viene de un movimiento literatura directamente, ella escrita con el concepto de compremetido. En su narrative El Recado ella crea un mujer estereotipical que no puede controlar sus emociones. La titula es eso porque ella viene a ver su amante, pero el no esta, asi ella escribe las cosas que sentia. La perspectiva es de un personaje y ella nunca interacta con otros personajes.

Porque ellas es la unica perspectiva que tenemos es sencillo a sentar compasion para una protagonista de quien nombre no aun sabemos. Ella da la descripcion de toda que vea, y mas importante todo que se sienta. Tambien tropos y figuras retoricas dan un tono significante al poema.
