    The meeting between Alek and Reb Menashe is similar. Although Reb, seems to be less inclined to state that belief is different. His aversion to the lack of modesty (his definition of modesty that seems to require every bit of flesh to be covered), in the room is a topic of his innermost thoughts. However, he does realize that his perceptions are just that: his own. He recognizes this, and because the immigrants in the room do not feel ashamed, perhaps they are innocent.12 He and Alek are entirely different from each other, but their conversation is beneath the surface, and “both understood each other.”…

    Traditions that should be saved for future generations should be Christmas, Rosca de los Reyes, and the day of the dead, because some would teach how to share and others how to give and have fun with the family/ socialize with their future relatives. Christmas would be one because it could teach the kids of the next generation how to give. The children will be taught how to give the people in need, it would also be good to be grateful for what they’ve received, and how to share their gifts with their family and friends it can also impact the rest of the world by doing gift exchanges and etc. Rosca de los Reyes would be another one because it could show them how to socialize with relatives and cook for the family.

Many of those heading to the mainland were “Puerto Rican revolutionaries who were conspiring on U. S. territory to break once and for all with the yoke of Spanish colonialism.” The four-century-old resilient stronghold of Spanish imperialism over the island was beginning to be confronted when, in 1868, the first pro-independence uprising against Spanish rule occurred in the town of Lares.
