    The Aztecs: A Very Short Introduction by David Carrasco is a succinct but comprehensive history of the, in many ways infamous, ancient Latin American civilization known as the Aztecs. His book goes through an overview of the foundation and creation of the Aztec culture and way of life, their expansion, their taboo rituals of sacrifice and reputation as a violent and warlike group, and eventually the fall of the civilization as a whole. The book as a whole speaks volumes in its simplicity; it gives readers an excellent sense of what this strange and once very powerful culture once was in, as the title suggests, a very short amount of pages. The book begins with the description of the massive and intimidating wonder that was the city of Tenochtitlan.…

    Laurie Ann Guerrero’s Ode to El Cabrito can be perceived many different ways, but any way the reader may look at this poem it is captivating through its incredible word play and powerful imagery. When reading Ode to El Cabrito it is obvious that if the reader was to perceive it latently then it would basically mean that Guerrero was making a fresh batch of cabrito which in Mexican heritage is a roasted kid goat. Therefore, when Guerrero says “I tear away your muscle, bubbling fat, and warm tortillas over coal, in the onion and cilantro” ( Guerrero 12-14). Guerrero’s lays a foundation in this poem that can take the reader down many different roads while trying to perceive the true meaning of this poem, although there may not be a true meaning.…

    A liberal education is believed to offer a more expanded range of studies that is supposed to offer its students more wide range knowledge rather than what is gained from a traditional University. Newman talks about how much more is beneficial from Liberal arts which one gets form attending. Although I do agree with Newman’s definition of liberal education I don’t agree that having a liberal education is the only way to gain a accomplished mind of knowledge because a person can become well-rounded though life experiences and personal interest, also because, I don’t believe in the long run the cost of attending a liberal arts school will benefit a person more than attending a vocational, technical college, or a University and still earn their…

    The article, “Health Care Access, Use of Services, and Experiences among Undocumented Mexicans and other Latinos,” by Alexander Ortega (2014), compares access, use, and experiences with health care services. The author says that the Mexicans without proper authorization or citizenship have few visits to physicians compared to those that are US-born. Similar results were found among the Latinos who were undocumented. The reason why the undocumented immigrants were not willing to pay physicians visits is because they fear they will be deported. Moreover, the health care facilities need to have proper documentation to be treated, which causes barriers to access of healthcare services.…
