Mariano Garcia Lorca Research Paper
.Federico Garcia Lorca is revered as being one of the best writers of the 20th century and one of the best overall in Spain. Not only that but he was also a gay man. Being that he was a Spanish man in conservatory time period, living in an extremely religious, machismo dominated culture contributed to his need to keep his sexuality hidden. However, not at all nonexistent. Through this, Lorca’s homosexuality drives his works and with it encrypts underlying meanings into his plays, poems, and art to express his true emotions. Myself being a fan of Lorca and finding out he was gay made me more interested in the topic and encouraged me to research underlying connotations that may have meant entirely different things.

    The Second Great Awakening laid the foundations of the development of present-day religious beliefs and establishments, moral views, and democratic ideals in the United States. Beginning back in late eighteenth century and lasting until the middle of the nineteenth century,1 this Protestant awakening sought to reach out the un-churched and bring people to a much more personal and vivid experience of Christianity. Starting on the Southern frontier and soon spreading to the Northeast, the Second Great Awakening has also been associated as a response against the growing liberalism in religion - skepticism, deism, and rational Christianity.2 Although the movement is well-known to be just a period of religious revival, its tremendous effects still influence the nation even up to now. The lasting impacts of the revolution include the shift of the dominating Christian theology from predestination to salvation for all, the emergence and growth of religious factions, the escalation of involvement in secular affairs, and the shaping of the country into a more egalitarian society. These footprints left by the Second Great Awakening helped mold America into what it is today.…

    Arenas writes this book through his imaginations and pastimes in Cuba as if it were his diaries. He analyzes his secrecy with artistic writing and sex. Reinaldo Arenas says, My sexual activity was all with animals. First there were the hens, then the goats and the sows, and after I had grown up some more, the mares (Arenas 149).” This shows the indifference towards women and the rest of the societies interests. In other words, Reinaldo was a homosexual and hid through his fear of the totalitarian government by taking his pain out with the animals. This book represents Reinaldo’s search for…
