2. DOCUMENT INFORMATION (There are many possible ways to answer A-D.)
A. List three things the author said that you think are important:
a.Mexican-Americans wanted to be appreciated by the work they did in the farmers. The article was explaining they are the ones who plant the seeds, water the fields and gather crops. They 're the ones putting in long hours in the field and get no credibility for their hard work. If the Europeans gave them the respect they deserve they wouldn 't be complaining about being mistreated. People shouldn’t be putting long hours of work and get no credibility and having other take your credit of hard work. b.Mexican-American has a strong brotherhood that you can’t ignore. You have to paint a picture of the difficult work they have to endure in the field when picking the fruits with their hands. Though they 're struggling to support their families they still stay optimistic of their stitution and unite as Mexican-Americans. They might take their riches and destroy their culture but can’t take their heart. With love from their heart they will voice their independence of mestizo nation. c.Thier organization goals: unity, economy, education, institutions, self-defense, cultural. and political liberation. Show that they 're not amateur group and that they take their business serious. They don 't show hatred or rebellious to America, but show great morals which consists making the individual better human being for society.

Why do you think this document was written? a.In my opinion this document was written to show awareness that Mexican-Americans were tired of being mistreated and not getting any credit for what they deserve in America. They’re workaholics and were willing to do any kind of work to provide for their families. Mexican-American weren’t asking for much other then get paid for the work they deserve without being cheated. …show more content…
List two things the document tells you about life at the time it was written:
a.One of the thing I noticed by reading the article is that there was work abuse in the farm industry. Mexican-Americans complain that they weren 't treated with respect and Europeans got all the credit for the farming industry. It also didn 't help that their weren 't that many laws that protected the farmers from being taken of advantage. That 's the reason they implemented El Plan espiritual de Aztlan to set foundation for equal rights.
b.El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán was an important historical time in 1969. This gave Mexican-American to live the American dream they always wanted to. If you were Mexican-American you didn 't have the best education, laws to protect them, and economic program for them to run their business. Though they weren 't black they still have equal rights as white which it made it difficult for them to be successful in business
