Once everything is lined up, we get our tortillas we made earlier and fry them. We have to be careful not to over fry them, but a little crispy is preferred. We usually deep fry about six at a time, take them out and drain them on a napkin, to get the access oil off. We then put them on a plate and began to assemble them in the following order. To our tortillas, we add a pinch of beans, a pinch of chorizo and potato, chesse, sprinkle cabbage and drizzle the spicy tomato sauce over everything. Once we have completed this with all six of our enchiladas and added a piece of chicken,…

injustice, hunger and job insecurity is how they described maquiladoras. Maybe some of these issues are not obvious enough for people to see them as problems. From my point of view I think that the government keeps a lot of information from people, for their own benefit or to prevent riots from happening or maybe to stop legal actions done against them.…

Madison Spence 17 February 2013 Spanish 2312 Professor Elsa Coronado-Salinas Santa Rosa de Lima The country of Peru is home to many holidays and festivals each year. From the New Year’s Day celebration to the Christmas day celebration, Peru has set aside an abundance of days to observe the country’s many historic events. A very popular holiday in the country is Santa Rosa de Lima which takes place each year on August 30. The holiday dates back to the 17th century and celebrates the death of the patroness of Lima, Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa was born on April 20, 1586 by the name of Isabel, but was later nick-named Rosa because of her looks and her rosy cheeks. She spent a majority of her childhood in the small town of Quive, in the hills of Lima. As Rosa grew up, she became extremely religious and started practicing very extreme forms of religion. She grew up to be a very very beautiful woman, but she came to resent her looks. She did everything to ‘undo’ her beauty. She fasted herself, cut her hair, and wore a thorn crown to divert attention away from her beautiful looks and towards God. Rosa wanted to join a monastery but her family was too poor to afford it so she moved away from her family and into a cottage she built herself. Rosa’s days consisted of praying and feeding and caring for the sick and poor people in her town. She sold flowers and needlework to support herself and her family. At the age of 20, Rosa was let into the…
Secondly, feminism is needed worldwide because of the extreme issues that are happening in other states. These are issues that are brought daily into national and international news. There are so many countries that don’t treat women equal to men, mostly because of their traditions but also for financial benefit as in China with the female dominated workforce. However they don’t have the majority in the workforce because of women rights but on the contrary to exploit both women and men. China is not the only country that “prefer” women to work in factories many countries do this including Mexico. Once again I had never paid attention to the maquiladoras that are just across the border where I have family members that work in some of them.…
