For this week’s assignment‚ I chose Marcos Souza’s review (Unit 3) of “In Cuba I was a German Shepherd” by Ana Menendez. I really liked his take on the story.

Dyke Hard is a celebratory pastiche of multiple B-movies and genre films‚ exploiting their tropes and clichés in a wild LGBT party of a film.

Though "trash as trash can" is the film’s credo‚ these concepts have lost most of their impact today; their milder forms have been

There has been forced labor in Peru since the beginning of the Inca conquests. What made this system somewhat unique in the New World is that the system did not call for permanent enslavement of people. Often people would work a certain amount of time a year and then go back home.

This line verbalizes a sense of nostalgia that the speaker has‚ as well as a sense of determination not to look back at the same time; this is quite interesting and could only be the result of meticulously chosen words. In the forth (final) stanza the speaker again relays a felling of nostalgia‚ when he says "I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence". The speaker closes the poem with a
