Los Tres Hermano
When I was growing up I was lucky enough to have had several great people who had a huge influence in my outlook towards life. She has always instilled good morals in me as well as analyzing the way that I treat others. Upon reading some of the stories, I found that the writers wrote them in a way to display similar aspects. In stories like “La comadre Sebastiana/ Dona Sebastiana” and “Los tres hermano” The Three Brothers,” Display topics involving humility and the belief in God are portrayed throughout the selections. I will be referencing several stories in which the writers discuss a one’s morals as well as their religious belief and how this affects you as well as your future. These two stories talk about how your attitude accounts for …show more content…
One of the three brothers depicted in the story has a kind heart and much unlike his other brothers. Since he was kind hearted, chances are that his journey in life will be smooth. As the third brother was making his way to find work, he met a woman who guided him in the right direction but asked for bread or water and he kindly said yes, “Yes,” he answered and he shared with her his loaf of bread and water. After eating he said to her, “Take what is left, Senora” (Anaya “Los Tres”). He kindly opened his heart to her and said she can have everything he she desired it. His kind gestures are reflective of his attitude and personality which will depict his overall life on earth and in Heaven. Since he was a good son unlike his brothers, he was granted the privilege along with his parents to go to Heaven, “You and your parents will go to heaven, but not your brothers” (Anaya “Los Tres”). God granted them permission to be by his side in Heaven because he was a good son and put others before himself. These two stories reveal that a person’s attitude reflect the outcome of one’s journey in life as well as end …show more content…
The manner in which you treat others, the humility you display and the belief in God are all important topics portrayed by the writers. In “Los tres hermanos/ The Three Brothers,” The first son much like the second, neglected to share his money with his parents who needed it dearly. Instead of returning home with the money and handing it over to his patents like a good son, he instead decides to take the money goes to the city, “And as soon as he was paid he went straight to the beguiling city to indulge in its delights. He forgot all about his parents and never once thought of sharing his money with them” (Anaya “Los Tres”). He instead chose to party in the city and waste the money that he had promised his parents. Due to his cold heart, Him and his brother ended up being rejected by god and denied entrance to Heaven, “Because they were bad sons, and did not take care of their parents, they deserve to spend eternity in the fires of hell” (Anaya “Los Tres”). Since they did not listen to their parents, they are denied access to Heaven. They lack the kind heart that the third brother

    To underline another significant point, these native Indians are totally defenseless, and vulnerable to every single dangerous attack by the Spaniards. When Indians flee to mountains, these inhuman, cruel Spanish captains pursue them with fierce dogs to attack and tear them into several pieces. In addition to that, if Indians kill only one Christian, they would kill a hundred Indians in return. This is the misconception of our modern times that one individual feels himself superior to other, this one to that, that one to this; thus there occurs hierarchical relationships which can not be changed easily.…

    The author of Diary 34 spoke about how two of his “idols” died a year ago. He knew that after they died, the cholos (poor Mexican boys), would need a good “leader” to look up to. When they died, he cleaned up his act and took that second chance his friends never got. Although…

    Because of the opposing cultures and ideas that collide in the mind of Richard Rodriguez, his arguments tend to break boundaries of traditional philosophical writing. As a Catholic, a homosexual, a Mexican immigrant, and an intellectual, the meaning of family values can differ significantly from one aspect of his life to the next. By gathering input from each of those sectors, Rodriguez composes an array of personal anecdotes and hypothetical examples in “Family Values,” to profess his theory that Americans’ supposed beliefs do not always align with reality. With the use of generalization and paradoxical exemplification, Rodriguez is able to portray his beliefs about family values in America.…

    De Las Casas

    • 291 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In Bartolome De Las Casas’s “from The Very Brief Relation of the Devastation of the Indies” a lot of descriptive verbiage is utilized to paint a distinct picture of good vs. evil in an unjust world. Referencing the Spaniards as Christians is done with a great deal of anger, and sarcasm. These Spaniards performed many acts of evil as they brutally tortured, killed, and enslaved the Native American peoples. According to De Las Casas “they attacked the towns and spared neither the children nor the aged nor pregnant women nor women in childbed, not only stabbing them and dismembering them but cutting them to pieces as dealing with sheep in a slaughter house”. (40) This was such a gruesome, cruel, and violent act of murder, without regard to even those we view as pure innocence such as that of a child. This provokes the reader to feel an intense sorrow and heartache for these innocent Native Americans. De Las Casas portrays the Native American people as innocent, gentle prey to the Spaniards, thus referring to them as “sheep.” They were deemed weak in their efforts to fight back, and they were unable to seek refuge in the mountains where they tried to flee. This piece incorporates multiple biblical representations throughout as well. The “sheep” biblically represent the followers of Christ, and they are submissive followers with little to no resistance like that of the Native American peoples. However, the so-called Christian Spaniards acted like ravenous, greedy animals rather than human Christ like leaders.…

    Loyalty In Don Chipote

    • 1240 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Here, the novel reveals the unequal friendship between Don Chipote and Pitacio by displaying Pitacio’s exploitment of his host’s generosity. For example, Don Chipote offers his friend hospitality along with food and shelter as a testament to his kindness. Instead of expressing appreciation for this gracious gesture, Pitacio takes advantage of the situation in order to benefit himself. The fact that he tells lies to his friend in order to receive food for the coming days makes matters worse since he intentionally misleads Don Chipote. This dishonesty damages the friendship between the two characters because one side is using the other person for personal gain. In this example, the text highlights the negative trait of dishonesty and manipulation that constitute a faulty and unequal friendship. In addition to the negative traits of dishonesty and manipulation, Pitacio exhibits unreliability in keeping his promises. One could argue that by Pitacio staying behind in Mexico to help Don Chipote’s family while Don Chipote is away, he exhibits good friend characteristics. However, the text undermines this opinion when it notes that “[g]ood buddy Pitacio was more than happy to do this—for the first few months” (Venegas 129). In this moment, the text…

    After reading the short text called “A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies,” by Bartolomé de Las Casas, I was surprised at the brutality and coldheartedness of the Spaniards towards the Indian natives. I knew that they did some horrible things from previous history classes and what not, but actually reading about some of the specific things they did was a bit hard to take in. An example of this is the following quote: “And thus pregnant and nursing women and children and old persons and any others they might take, they would throw them into the holes until the pits were filled, the Indians being pierced through by the stakes, which was a sore thing to see, especially the women with their children.” Throwing defenseless and harmless…

    The Roman Catholic Church is something my family and I are familiar with. In Los Angeles I went to a co-ed Catholic school called St. Eugene. When I first picked up the book I was excited to find out the back story of the organization of Las Hermanas. “In the forefront of liberation of the Mexican American community are beautiful and courageous women, women who know how to fight,” Canciόn de Las Hermanas. That quote summarizes the movement dealing with Latina women in the Catholic Church.…

    In the story, the author is getting pulled in various directions. Rodriguez wants to stay true to his Mexican culture for his parents' sake claiming they, “...grow distant, apart, no longer speak,” but also wants to belong in American culture where his education has driven him to a position not many Mexicans get to or have to opportunity to be (Rodriguez 105). This story confronts the idea that anyone can succeed as long as they are willing to sacrifice their cultural identity in the process.…

    My immediate response to Las Casas’ account was one of sorrow, dread, and horror. I cannot even express in words the emotions that ran through my mind and soul as I read this terrifying report exposing the truth of our country’s beginnings. My voice cracked as I read aloud Las Casas’ words, and I felt myself holding back tears as a roar against injustice raged within me. I wish I could believe Las Casas was a liar, but his brutal honesty wipes away every possible doubt.…

    The passage starts out with a tone of easy humor, which then changes into a heavy sense of obligation and irony. An easy, carefree relationship is quickly established through the mother’s words, which hold such pride and hope for her children, coupled with humorous descriptions such as the “blue wig” on her head, or a coat so large “you’ll only be able to see [her] eyes”. This lift in emotions only serves to accentuate the sudden weight that is attached to Rodriguez’ words in the following paragraphs. Words like “tired”, “uncomfortably warm” and “listless”, which, when coupled with a focus on material value in the second paragraph, evoke a sense of obligation instead of joy. This change in tone also serves to show the irony of the situation, for even though the predictions proudly made by the mother had come true, they now carry none of the initial joy they had in the past. These descriptions, when contrasted with the opening paragraph, work to reveal the lost relationship, a change from the carefree past to the present.…
