    Enrique's Journey Case Study

    This causes Lourdes to stop sending as much money if any money at all back home, and thus creating a longer time span between being able to either have enough money to go back home and set up her shop or bring her children over to be with her in the U.S. The greatest hardship that Lourdes’s is facing is not her accidental pregnancy or menial jobs, it the simple fact that the U.S comes with its own set of challenges. Lourdes is unable to rely on any kind of steady income with her alcoholic boyfriend and odd jobs. The copious amount of racism and her own illegal status greatly affects the limit of her earning potential. Though she can send money home, her own pregnancy limits her ability to do so. Though Lourdes is able to prosper somewhat in the U.S., it requires significantly more sacrifice than "The American Dream" led her to expect, and also requires her to accept a certain sense of shame. The country is less open to immigrants than she had once believed. Lourdes is using her children as her means of strength to survive, she wants to be strong for them so they never feel the pain that she felt growing up in an impoverished…

    Lieutenant Nun: Various Experiences of Catalina de Erauso

    After reading through the various experiences of Catalina de Erauso, it is very clear to me that she wanted to escape the strict and binding socio-political norms established in Spanish society. While I do not doubt the religious faith of Catalina de Erauso, I feel she placed a great social value on those working under the crown in the New World. She did not want to be bound by a religious convent like her sisters. Catalina left the convent in Spain in order to escape the civil and religious limitations placed upon women in Spanish society. The New World served as a way out, an escape from the life she once lived. In my opinion, I believe she put a very high social value on that of being a man fighting under the Spanish crown, but that’s not to say she didn’t still see religion and God as being a big part in her path to forgiveness, redemption, and rescue. While she did not want to live a life strictly bound by the ecclesiastical authority, that’s not to say she did not still have a belief in God and faith. This battle between reason and faith often caused her many troubles and contemplations. By dressing as a man, Catalina reasoned the opportunity to escape and discover was worth the risk; something she couldn’t receive had she chosen the life of a nun. Whether she put one over the other is hard to say, she relied both, in ways not comparable to the other.…

    The Role Of Faith In Julia Alvarez's In The Time Of The Butterflies

    Is struggle always a part of believing in something? A part of having faith? A part of religion? Struggle builds strength and allows people to grow. Oprah Winfrey states, “Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.” In Julia Alvarez’s novel In the Time of the Butterflies, struggle, religion, and faith have always been a part of the Mirabal’s family. While the three of the sisters, Minerva, María Teresa, and Dedé, lose touch with their faith, Patria battles to keep a strong bond with hers.

This struggle builds a stronger person, and eventually makes her faith deeper than anything in the past.…
