American relations with Mexico. From the early 20th century with railroads and mines to post NAFTA‚ a cycle of displacement has become embedded into U.S.-Mexico relations. Throughout the readings of the class and the short documentaries we’ve watched‚ it is apparent that the Mexican American community has been a chief source of the expansion of America.

the United States from Mexico. They sought for a brighter and better future for us and fought tooth and nail to give us the world they didn’t have growing up. Ever since I had stepped foot on U.S soil I never had the chance to go back. The sacrifices that permitted me to be able to attend school for free and giving me a better head start than I would’ve had if we’d stayed couldn’t mask the effects of the move.

OIL PAINTINGS One of the images that I’m most fond of is the “Madonna and Child with the Chancellor Rolin” by Jan and Eck. This piece is one my favorites because it uses oil.

Synthesis of Aspirin from Oil of Wintergreen Objectives: In this experiment‚ the Oil of Wintergreen is put into an Erlenmeyer flask containing sodium hydroxide to create sodium salicylate. The solution is then refluxed which means that the solution will be boiled in a base‚ then condensed in a condenser. This replaces the carbon on the ester at carbon 1‚ with an oxygen atom which will have an ionic bond with a sodium anion. This yields sodium salicylate which will be acidified in methanol
