In Cuban I Was A German Shepherd Analysis
I found that all the stories I've read all semester was intriguing, but the one story that truly stood out to me was "In Cuba I was a German Shepherd" by Ana Menendez. The reason why I would say this is my favorite story all semester is that it's somehow nostalgic, as it slightly pertains to my current situation here in the United States. I enjoyed the way the story was written - moving between dialogue and narration, and exhibiting paragraphs that displayed memories of a distant past. Ana Menendez also incorporates humor to mask underlying issues in the story. Maximo tells jokes to his fellow friends at the park, and as the reader we get a glimpse of what life was like in Cuba through his jokes. You could tell from Maximo's jokes that he was

    Fall Risk Nurses: Movie Analysis

    The most important aspect of the film is that nurses should identify fall risk patients and implement interventions to prevent future falls. Interestingly, the image above has quite a few fall risks depicted, for example: the rug, coffee table, and furniture layout. However, one major risk is the large area rug in the center of the room. Often, people trip and stumble while walking on them and its outer corners. To lower the fall risk in this home, I would remove the area rug and rearrange the furniture to promote safer ambulation. Lastly, I would install a small outlet light near the bathroom to brighten the pathway for enhanced nighttime…

    Comparison: German And Persian Pets

    “Comparison is the death of joy”- Mark Twain. When you compare two things, for instance animals, you began to compare and contrast them which loses the value of each individual because they both have the potential to do anything the other is being known for being capable to do. Although German shepherd and Persian cats are both well liked pets, they have tremendously dissimilar qualities that require their owners to handle with them in many incompatible ways. There is a large number of similarities that Germans shepherds and Persian cats share, but at the same time they are very unlike.

    Zoot Suitors Summary

    Throughout this story I feel like the theme that is stressed the most would be how Latin Americans had to deal with being discriminated against. Riots broke out between the Zoot Suiters and the public around the L.A. area during the WWII. Latinos were discriminated and accused of being criminals because of their skin and wild style of dressing They were known as the "Zoot Suitors". The suits that they wore had long, broad shouldered coats. Extra baggy pants that fit tight at the ankles. They wore a long chain pocket watch and a broad brimmed hat with a feather in it. This was how Pachucos dressed in their early years. This was how they felt they were able to express themselves but the public and the press tried to use their tradition against…

    The Importance Of Haitian Sensation

    One of the more interesting things I’ve had to deal with in life was growing up Haitian in the 90’s/00’s. This was wayyy before it became kind of cool and folks started showing love to Haitians with everyone usually screaming out “shout out my zoes” when referring to Haitian with some not knowing what this even means. I dealt with some pretty comical and sometimes annoying things as a kid/teen so let me share some.…

    A Response to Harrison Bergeron

    The short tale of Harrison Bergeron is something that isn't very new to me. Way back in high school, we were tasked to read this in one of our Literary Circles sessions. I took a quick look at it and particularly enjoyed how short the story was. Today, having finally read a good selection of interesting stories, I decided to take a deeper and much more complete look at it. I can definitely say that despite it being rather short, Harrison Bergeron was a story just oozing in meaning and symbolisms.…

    Reflective Essay: An Education In Writing

    The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by Jon Scieszka showed the value of looking at a story from a different perspective. While I used this idea somewhat in my paper, by writing from the point of view of a chocolate bar, Scieszka wrote The True Story of the Three Little Pigs from a perspective that most people do not consider. By writing from an alternative perspective, the wolf is able to persuade the readers that he is not as bad as most think he is. Although I read this book to plan a lesson for my class, it was instrumental in developing my own…
