Salvador Alvarenga
When you are at home, you have repeatedly thought of what would it be like to endure the humidity of a rain forest or the aridness of a desert. You may think it is a walk in the park however you don’t envisage how hard it is to get through asperous conditions.
One famous example of such daunting feat was by a man named Jose Salvador Alvarenga. On November of 2014, he set out on a fishing trip with another co-worker. After about two days, Jose and his co-workers began to go back to El Salvador when fierce winds hit him off course (50 miles off his original destination) and punctured the bowl of the fishing boat. He spent 13 months on a small dinghy with the another man (who unfortunately died). During his peregrination, his dietary consumption

    Hernando Cortez

    Was Hernando Cortez a good or evil man? This debate has been argued over the years and still is today. Those who say Cortez is an evil man seem to focus singularly on the actions that the great Spanish conquistador has inflicted upon the Aztecs and the surrounding Indians. Not once do they look at the reasons why he performed the actions that many say were horrible acts of violence and manslaughter. These accusations of greed and murder of the Aztecs, as well as his own against Cortez have been corrupted in order to give a false and savage image of this great Spanish man. Hernando Cortez was, in fact, a great man contrary to what most is taught to believe.…

    The poet that I am willing to grasp the knowledge of is Jimmy Santiago. Santiago, a former inmate of a maximum security prison altered his life through the power of poetry and writing. The reason why I chose to delve into his philosophies is because he was a former prisoner. His life is inspirational due to the fact that I work at a local jail and witness the obscenities of the system and inmates. To dramatically change one’s life in prison, like Santiago, I would like to present his teaching forms of poetry, which include, Chicano Poetry, American Southwest barrios, addiction, injustice, education, community, and love.…

    Emiliano Zapata

    • 1513 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Emiliano Zapata, born on August 8, 1879, in the village of Anenecuilco, Morelos (Mexico), Emiliano Zapata was of mestizo heritage and the son of a peasant medier, (a sharecropper or owner of a small plot of land). From the age of eighteen, after the death of his father, he had to support his mother and three sisters and managed to do so very successfully. The little farm prospered enough to allow Zapata to augment the already respectable status he had in his native village. In September of 1909, the residents of Anenecuilco elected Emiliano Zapata president of the village's "defense committee," an age-old group charged with defending the community's interests. In this position, it was Zapata's duty to represent his village's rights before the president-dictator of Mexico, Porfirio Díaz, and the governor of Morelos, Pablo Escandón. During the 1880s, Mexico had experienced a boom in sugar cane production, a development that led to the acquisition of more and more land by the hacienderos or plantation owners. Their plantations grew while whole villages disappeared and more and more medieros and other peasants lost their livelihoods or were forced to work on the haciendas. It was under these conditions that a plantation called El Hospital neighboring Zapata's village began encroaching more and more upon the small farmers' lands. This was the first conflict in which Emiliano Zapata established his reputation as a fighter and leader. He led various peaceful occupations and re-divisions of land, increasing his status and his fame to give him regional recognition.…
