Carlos was born on June 4th 1992, making him a Gemini. Individuals born on that day are described to be “captivating and adventurous. Just like a true Gemini, they are also cheerful almost all the time. They dislike the emotions of permanence, ennui and desolation. They are vivacious and very few things can truly affect them, thus they can sometimes appear a bit insensitive. They can also be quite manipulative. They need to leave their selfishness aside sometimes as it could improve their long term relationships significantly.” Although he was born in the UK, Mexican naming customs were used to name him since Mexico was the country of his parents (Javier was the son of two Mexican immigrants & Inés had moved to the UK from there as a teenager).

He rarely showed it; preferring to ignore his boring advice; not sacrificing a thought for the future; not considering how his actions would affect the old man. For years, Carlos took his father for granted, reaping the benefits he had earned while contributing practically nothing. He brushed off his father’s concerns every time the male decided to express them, pouring him a drink, telling how he just enjoyed life while he could. Javier’s death was a rude wake-up call, eliciting feelings within Carlos he had never felt before. He was angry (’How dare you just leave?’), he was scared (’I’m not ready to give up on my life’), he kinda felt regret (’Maybe I should’ve listened’). Carlos knows Javier wouldn’t be proud of him if he knew how he coped with his death (drinking & partying) and how he is now. The man probably hoped that the Coalition would force him to grow up, but it has done the exact opposite. No, the group has only made it easier for the Neverland boy to be the person he has always been: a hedonistic playboy with little to no regard for

...rest became a nightmare. Enrique’s time apart from his mother made them more like “strangers” than family. Filled with anger stemming from the years apart from one another, he refused to obey his mother’s wishes to live healthier. While lost in family chaos, he turned back to his addiction of drugs crashing his dream of a perfect family dynamic. Though his dream became a nightmare, he was able to achieve it through one core trait where his inner strength help drive him to not give up his dream of seeing his mother.

Junot Diaz's short story “Fiesta, 1980” gives an insight into the everyday life of a lower class family, a family with a troubled young boy, Yunior and a strong, abusive father, Papi. The conflict, man vs. man is one of the central themes of this story. This theme is portrayed through the conflicts between Papi and his son. Papi asserts his dominance in what can be considered unfashionable ways. Unconsciously, every action Papi makes yields negative reactions for his family. Yunior simply yearns for a tighter bond with his father, but knows-just like many other members of his family-Papi’s outlandish ways hurts him. As the story unfolds it becomes obvious that the conflicts between Papi and himself-along with conflicts between Yunior and himself-affect not only them as individuals, but their family as a whole.

Logan Gutierrez-Mock’s “F2MESTIZO” takes on the subject matter of intersectionality between race, gender, and class similarly to bell hooks’ theory on drag balls within the film, Paris is Burning. Because the ideas of passing between two races and defining gender identity are interdependent, we see characters enter and exit worlds of powerlessness and privilege, imitate white status to gain privilege, establish a two-fold world of us against them; this reveals much about the internalized racism that arises from the power complexities between races and genders.
