    Gaspar De Villagrá is considered to be the first published poet in the United States as he recounts his journey through epic poetry. The poem, Historia de la nveva Mexico, is divided into three separate parts and then into thirty-four various cantos. As Manuel M. Martín-Rodríguez comments in his passage describing the origins of Villagrá’s poetry and expedition, “Villagrá’s poem serves a utilitarian purpose: that of justifying actions and highlighting services in hopes of obtaining royal favor,” Villagrá composes his expedition in hopes of appeasing the king and validating his own actions towards the Natives of what is now New Mexico. Villagrá writes in such a way to convince the king and the readers that his actions were heroic and influential.…

    The Girl Who Won For most kids, growing up is pretty tough. For Julia Alvarez, it was even harder. The twisted paths of adolescence became blurred and incredibly confusing to Alvarez after she was, along with her family, forced to leave her native Dominican Republic for the strange United States. This culture shock was difficult to digest at the beginning, but then Alvarez became fueled by the bullies who taunted her accent and the missing pieces that being a “Dominican hyphen American” left in her life (Haley).…

    It is a pleasure and a motivation, for my as student, to read the work of a person to whom i can relate, I mean Americo Paredes was a Mexican American author born in Brownsville, Texas who experience the double life of American and Mexican culture and all the challenges a Mexican American faces.

They highlight the tension, the struggles and cultural diversity that Mexican Americans live through in of the southwestern United States and…

    Ernest Hemingway, a prominent figure in the American modern literature, has an outstanding writing style and a verification of that is the literature Nobel Prize he won in 1954. His writing career as a journalist has strongly influenced his novels and short stories. The telegraphic and minimalistic technique of writing combined with the powerful presence of nature and his iceberg theory have distinguished him from other authors of the time like F.S.Fitzgerald. “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” is exemplary for Hemingway’s writing experience. The story is about the married couple of Francis and Margot Macomber who has decided to go on an African safari altogether with the professional hunter and guide Robert Wilson.…

    Essay On Hidden America

    • 1219 Words
    • 5 Pages

    At the beginning of the semester, we discussed what constituted good writing, as well as what constituted bad writing. Over the course of the last three weeks, we have been assigned to read portions of Laska's Hidden America. After reading Underworld, Hecho en América, G-L-O-R-Y, and Traffic, I have concluded that Hidden America is stuck somewhere between being good and bad writing. Hidden America includes aspects of good writing as well as aspects of bad writing, constituting Laska's Hidden America as an average text in my opinion. The text offers good textual support, great detail, and a good connection to the audience, however, sometimes Laska's sources seem not as credible or biased and at times her passages can be difficult to follow.…

    Jejuri Poem Analysis

    • 718 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Jejuri poems are all about Arun Kolatkar visiting the temple town in the state of Maharashtra where 'every other stone is a god or his cousin'. The poems are delicately written yet sharply observed - a temple door, a yellow butterfly and Maruti himself find equal care given to them all in turn. Jejuri poems oscillate between faith and scepticism. In his plat and colloquial tone, Kolatkar ironically treats the parallel scenario reinforcing it with concrete imagery. Kolatkar's use of concrete imagery, subtle irony and symbolism reinforces the central theme of alienation and perception.…
