“WAKE UP!” Screamed my brother in to my ear. “Owwww” I said But soon realized we were going to MEXICO!
First we had to drive to Omaha to get on our airplane it took about 1 hour 30 minutes just to get there. Then it took the plane 8 hours to get to Cancun. When we got their it had just stopped raining. The first thing I saw once we left the airport was a…….PALM TREE! It was like 6:00 A.M. so I was tired we went to our hotel and slept for 4 hours. Then my dad said “wake up it time to see the pyramids!” I was so excited I forgot I was tired! It took another hour to get there but when we did it was soooo cool. It was in a jungle so I saw lots of birds. I even saw a parrot its feathers were so colorful soon we got to the pyramid. My mom

    When he realizes that these kids are missing and possibly abducted, he doesn’t think them important enough to call the police right away. Instead, he convinces himself that he’s not even sure it was them, and falls back asleep. Viramontes goes on to expertly emphasize all of the ways in which this Cafe owner is not superior to anyone. He is likely an alcoholic, and a terrible cafe owner who probably has quite a few health code violations, judging from the black gunk he wipes off of the top of the ketchup bottles, and the nonchalant way in which he puts away the eggs that he had left out all night. I am convinced that the Cafe owner never planned on calling the cops in regards to those two children, their fate was left to a drug addict who…

    The past holds never-changing events, although those who have lived through those events may have diverging recollections and interpretations regarding the events that had taken place. Perception, along with other factors, are the cause of this. An example of perception possibly altering a recollection of actual historical events is Bernal Diaz de Castillo’s recollection of the conquest of Tenochtitlan (Mexico City). Diaz at the time, was a Spanish soldier during the conquest of Mexico City, which took place from 1519 to 1521. At the age of eighty-four years old in 1568, over forty years after the events had taken place, Diaz produced a narrative from his time as a soldier during the conquest of Mexico City. Diaz self proclaims in his recollection…

    At the age of two my parents made the long and devastating journey to bring me and my siblings to the United States from Mexico. They sought for a brighter and better future for us and fought tooth and nail to give us the world they didn’t have growing up. Ever since I had stepped foot on U.S soil I never had the chance to go back. The sacrifices that permitted me to be able to attend school for free and giving me a better head start than I would’ve had if we’d stayed couldn’t mask the effects of the move. I didn’t grow up being enriched by the colorful culture that Mexico has, I missed out on the opportunity to share moments with my family from abroad, and fought the struggle of trying to blend in, in an environment that was so different…
