Puerto Rico Narrative
I was flabbergasted at how magnificent Puerto Rico was, when I went there last year for my summer vacation. The weather was as perfect as a star. Everywhere we went, felt like an incredible experience. The water was so clear that I was able to see my whole body while I was in it. The hotel that we stayed at was humongous and the views we had were unbelievable. We saw pirate ships in the water, palm trees with coconuts, dolphins seeking in the water, and more. I couldn’t wait to get outside and take a bunch of pictures. Most importantly, half of my family lives in Puerto Rico, so I was excited to finally meet them. It felt like I was living in a fancy post card, because of how beautiful and perfect everything was. I never knew the world could

    Puerto Rico: The Legend Of The Chupacabra

    The legend of the Chupacabra begins in March, 1995 in Puerto Rico and since its initial report there have been multiple sightings worldwide, the majority being in Latin America but also including: The Philippines, Russia, China, Thailand, and even lower parts of the US like Texas and Florida. The chupacabra’s name is derived from spanish and most literally means “goat sucker”. Chupar meaning “to suck” and cabra meaning “goat”. The Chupacabra received its name because of the method in which it kills its prey, by draining all the blood from the victim and leaving the carcass behind, leaving no evidence that the Chupacabra intended on actually eating the victim . Every documented case of the Chupacabra has these similar characteristics.…

    Personal Narrative: Miami Is Not The United States

    "Miami no es los Estados Unidos" (Miami is not the United States) is a phrase that I heard many times while growing up in Miami. It is problematic, because at its core lies the idea that a city that is teeming with Latinx/Hispanic immigrants could not be representative of what the United States "really" is. An idea that is pervasive but that unnecessarily emphasizes the vibrant culture of Miami, and underplays the socioeconomic inequality that exists in many other cities. As an immigrant I have grown up as a part of communities that are often considered under-served, and that consistently struggled financially. Something that I was aware of from a young age, and that truly shaped the way I looked at my future. With every time that my mom woke…

    When I Was Puerto Rican Book Report

    Esmeralda Santiago's When I Was Puerto Rican focuses on island life in the 1950s. In the immediate period leading up to the 1950s, Puerto Rico experienced a rapid change in the economic situation of the island. The island began to change from a primarily agricultural economy to one dominated by industry and commerce. Sugar plantations (owned by the wealthy and worked by the poor), cattle ranching, and subsistence-level agriculture gave way to a more urban style of living. In the 1930s, many people still lived in bohios, or small huts. During the 1940s, however, people on the island, mainly the rural poor fled to the city seeking work.…

    I’ve been on a few memorable vacations in my life, but my trip to Cozumel, Mexico was by far, the most memorable. Sure, I was on my honeymoon, so that helped make it amazing, but the sites and culture we experienced is what really made the trip. We only spent one day in Mexico because it was part of a cruise, but it was a very unforgettable and engrossing day.…

    How To Write A Narrative Essay About My First Vacation In Columbia

    I live in a country full of rich resources. Our weather is like a bittersweet lotion that replenishes the skin. People from all over the world come to my land for these things called "vacations". Vacations bring in nothing but good memories, smiles, and family. A vacation is a fairytale here in Columbia. The beautiful landscapes are just a pinch of reality that are on the brochures, websites, and posters. Sometimes when I look at these Americanized pictures of Columbia I wish I was there. The true story of Columbia starts in the city of Bogata located in the mountains. I am a young girl. I will not disclose my name or age because what I'm about to tell you about my culture and land are hands on things my soul has been through; which may upset…

    Compare and Contrast: Puerto Rico vs United States

    Puerto Rico is a beautiful place. The sun is always shining and the temperature does not go below eighty degrees Fahrenheit. If you run out of something like sugar or salt, you can always knock on your neighbor’s door and they will be happy to help you out. They treat everyone as if they were family. There is always something to do. Either you can go to the beach, go to the waterfalls, take a stroll through the jungles, or even sit under a palm tree and drink out of a coconut shell. Although there are many pros, there are also many cons. The crime rate in the island of Puerto Rico is high. Many fights involve objects, not just fists. It can be a brick, a stick, or even a broom. Fights are taken very serious. Also, the economy is not in great shape. Despite all of the cons, people seem to focus on the pros. The beaches are breath taking. The water is crystal-clear blue. The people are beautiful and very exotic.…

    Compare and Contrast on Puerto Rico

    The first thing that comes to mind when a person hears Puerto Rico is "tropical paradise" (Mumford!). What most people don't know is that Puerto Rico is an under developed U.S. commonwealth, and that like most places, it has very unfortunate locations. I believe that Puerto Rico unlike the U.S. has a lot of advancements to make, and that it should become a state.…

    If it’s a laid-back vacation you want, then we suggest you go to Culebra in Puerto Rico. Culebra offers a real Caribbean island experience without the hustle and bustle associated with many tourist spots – whether in or out of Puerto Rico. This is due, in fact, to Culebra’s location. Off the beaten track, this small island is in a way protected from hordes of tourists, so it would take real dedication to get there – a jet flight and a local flight or the ferry – whichever is available at the moment. If you are a backpacker who loves adventure, then this might be appealing to you.…

    The Annexation of Puerto Rico

    It was said that "a book is not justified by its authors worthiness to write it, but by the quality of what has been written.......the real risks of any artist are taken in the work, in pushing the work to the limits of what is possible, in the attempt to increase the sum of what is possible to think" (Rushdie 14-15). Literature has exemplified these certain risks for many years now, however although these artists are increasing what is possible for us to think, are each of them truly expressing what actually happened at that time? For some, literature is used to describe certain things that they have been told, or have heard about through generations of story-telling; for others however, it is simply an open canvas for them to use to paint a portrait of their life experiences. In Imaginary Homelands by Salman Rushdie, this is the very topic that is at hand, and he explains that the difference between one writing from experience, and one writing from an imaginative sense are monumental. For instance, an English man who writes about the components of India is more likely to generate a text based on what is perceived in his mind, more so than an individual living in India at the time. An imaginary Homeland, as described by Rushdie, is a fiction, not an actual city or village, but an India of the mind. In the Prophet 's Hair, along with the various ways in which class, and religious barriers are broken through the magic realism of the narration, the concept of this imaginary homeland is also fulfilled.…

    Cultural Autobiography Analysis

    I saw the prestigious, resort-filled side of the country, as well as the impoverished, third world side of the country. It was incredible. For the first time ever, I was introduced to true poverty, witchcraft and witch doctors, authentic Latin American food, an incomprehensible language barrier, new clothing standards, vulnerable and wholehearted Christian worship, and Spanish music. The entire trip helped cultivate and foster my previous knowledge and I am so thankful for that opportunity that was made available for…

    Dominican republic beaches

    As soon as you step out of the plane, you’re greeted with the sound of live bachata music playing throughout the airport. Then once you step outside your eyes dart directly to the horizon where you see all these beautiful hills and placed strategically across all the hills are these little homes spread out everywhere. Then we hop into this old broken town taxi that looks like it will leave you stranded on the side of the rode and head off to our hotel. Now the roads in Dominican Republic are nothing like the roads in the US. They have gaping potholes throughout most of the road, also there are minimal to none road sign or traffic lights; if there are most of the natives choose to ignore them. Driving in the Dominican Republic is a constant panic attack, but one you reach your resort it’s all worth it. We finally reach the pearly white gates of our resort and as we pull in and drive slowly down the coble road there are these beautiful florescent flowers hidden among the elongated tress along the road. We pull up to the front of the resort and they exchange our bags for these bright pink fruity drinks with those cute little umbrellas in them. Then they lead my family and I to our rooms and as they stopped in front of the door that would be my room the anticipation only grew stronger. They slid the key card in the slot and slowly opened my door and my mouth just dropped.…
