    There's a deeper reflection that existed in the act of telling stories of any kind. Growing up as child the entailment of small talk and tall tales act as a mean to develop the ability to express ourselves in an understanding fashion. The necessary skill of making ourselves known to the world becomes a strong element in gaining a step forward in a direction without guidances. Cisneros “wipes out any illusion of life-likeness, revealing the fictive from of the text” on how the facts incorporated in the novel set the setting as a distorted illusion to reality (Salvucci 170). The paradoxical shift in time throughout the story, created by Celaya’s narrative skill, develops into the formation of her identify “the migration with her family put her sense of self at risk even as those very migration define who she is as a Mexican-American female, and as a storyteller” (Alumbaugh 69).…

    Most people believe “El Chupacabra” is a myth while others don't. Although many have claimed that they have seen it, they don’t have proof. It may just be some stray dog, or canine-type creature. One of the pieces of evidence goes something like this "It can change colors at will, has a hairy, reptilian body with spines all along its back and an obsession with blood. El Chupacabra translated into English means "the goat-sucker," because that's exactly what it does.…

    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.…

    Requiem for a Spanish Peasant is Ramon J. Sender’s famous book. The setting of the book is an unknown village, during the Spanish Civil War.

    Sandra Cisneros, an author who is deeply inspired by her Mexican American heritage. This inspiration is clearly shown throughout each and every one of her writing pieces, such as “Salvador Late or Early”, as well as “Eleven”. Both short-stories focus on adolescents with a mature mindset and adult precision, and each story does a marvelous job portraying Cisneros constant writing style. “Salvador Late or Early” is focusing on a young boy, Salvador, with heavy burdens to carry on his shoulders, which is unfortunate because he is such a young boy with an old soul. The responsibilities he has are unimaginable due to the fact they don’t pertain to his age.…

    And then I guess, Pilar Hernandez, a role I played for Dreamteam, a long running TV show in the UK on SKY1 and FOX. I was part of the regular cast for two seasons, and the challenge there was to keep--keep--keep exploring--to stay curious even when you’ve played the role for a long time. And because Pilar was such a ballbuster, I had to find the moments her vulnerability could shine through and give the role more depth. What would you say was your most challenging role and why? What has been your favorite role so far and why?…

    La Guera Summary

    As for this week’s reading assignments, I was introduced to two pieces of readings: Judith Lorber’s “Night to His Day,” and Cherrie Moraga’s “La Guera.” Having read and thinking about the issues of the readings, I was aware of the process that the society has used to construct gender over the years (in “Night to His Day”) and how mistreatment, like racial discrimination or gender inequality, is involved in the construction of gender (in “La Guera”). Let’s talk about Lorber’s article. As I read, I noticed what the author indicates: “For individuals, gender means sameness,” and “for society, gender means difference;” I believed that it was true. From my perspective, each individual in this society complies with his [or her] group’s expectations…

    The Story of Pedro Serrano, as told by el Inca, Garcilaso de la Vega, had a deep impact on me. More specifically, the part that was most was the first interaction between Serrano, the main character, and the other unnamed survivor that was introduced halfway through the short story. Serrano had been stranded on the island for three years and had acquired hair all over—so much so, that it was compared by de la Vega to “an animal’s pelt.” The new survivor on the island was still dressed as a normal Spanish sailor, whereas Serrano had seemed to morph into a different person all together—one who was as mentally unstable as he was physically. When these two very different characters met for the first time, they were both shocked.…
