    Poem Analysis: I Am Joaquin

    This week's readings involved introductions to problems faced by the Chicano community. It depicts how far back these cultural problems have arose and how the community continues to struggle and overcome it. For example, in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, it is a historical document stating peace, friendship, limits, and settlement for the people of Mexico and the United States. This treaty was drafted in 1848, which ended the Mexican-American War, in hopes for a better relationship between the two countries. In contrast, in the poem, I am Joaquin, the poet brings light how the treaty is broken and how the Chicano people and all people represented in the poem are oppressed socially, economically, culturally, and politically, by the "Gabachos".…

    Francie In Betty Smith's A Tree Grows In Brooklyn

    In A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, Francie and Neeley Nolan are children growing up during the early 1900’s. The brother and sister have to learn how to survive on bread crumbs (literally), and make the most of what they do own. Francie is the main character of the novel, and from the very beginning, the readers can grasp the independence that inhibits Francie from a young age, unlike Neeley who is very dependent on his parents (especially Katie, his mother) to help him get along. When Neeley and Francie are together, Neeley’s dependence brings out Francies individualistic way of thinking, ultimately providing evidence for the end of Francie’s coming-of-age tale.…

    Seedfolks

    Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman is a 1997 children's book about the impromptu creation of a community garden in an inner-city Cleveland. As it comes alive, it breathes new life into an erstwhile sterile neighborhood. This book is not told from the perspective of a single character, but in a series of vignettes written from a first-person perspective of a very diverse group of characters. Some of the characters are young, some are old; some are new to America, some were born there. They all have their own reasons for coming to the garden and the significance it takes on for each of them is very different. They represent a variety of colors and cultures but come together to form a real community.…
