I M Wendy Cabrera Analysis

Decent Essays
Hello, I’m Wendy Cabrera. For me at least, what I find important in life is the pursuit of happiness. I’ve gained bits and piece of this goal from having a wonderful boyfriend, a cuddly dog and a place that I can call home. I work at the outlet mall in a store called Scotch and Soda, where I’m happy to say all my coworkers feel like family even on the tough days when I just want to be home. I’ve studied psychology in high school and a little of my free time to learn how to be a better support to my friends and myself during hard times.

    Beginning at the young age of eighteen years old, for some even earlier, we begin to question what we must do for the rest of our lives. This subject may seem frightening to many, including myself. We often question ourselves “What steps must be taken in order to live a successful, meaningful life?” In Wes Moore’s book, The Work, we are provided with knowledge as well as a sense of reassurance about how we must find and fulfill “a life that matters”. Just at the very start of the book, Moore includes a quote from the very influential Doctor Martin Luther King stating “Everybody can be great.…

    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.…

    In Fredrick Douglass’s “Learning to Read and Write”, the reader experiences a brief portion of the life of a slave as he’s trying to learn to read and write.

They gave tongue to interesting thoughts of my own soul, which frequently lashed through my mind, and died away for want of utterance….

They both have the same title and are similar at the same time. “This I Believe” by Jennifer talks about how people should treat others the way they would want to be treated. This is very important in life. You should never treat someone worse than you would expect them to treat you.…

This happens in both Mexican Whiteboy, by Matt de la Peña, and I Am Joaquin, by Rodolfo Gonzales. Both of the main characters, Danny and Joaquin, come from two different cultural backgrounds which makes it very hard from them to fit in and feel comfortable in their own skin. Danny, being both Mexican and white, struggles to fit in with the white kids at his elite high school, and struggles find a place with his Mexican cousins and their community. In a similar manner, Joaquin struggles to find a balance with being half Aztec and half Spanish.…

    Addressing the complexities articulated within the act of ethnic identity enunciation, the art of writing is granted the power of eliciting a counter discourse. Ethnic identity, be it a heterogeneous construct fashioned by and through the narrative it sustains, unravels the interplay between competing discourses of power .To transcend the boundaries of marginality infused in the supremacy given to certain languages over others, voicing minorities plight of exclusion can only be maintained through the re- appropriation of their own linguistic medium .In the same way that language creates and determines discourse, identity is re-constructed; it is manifested in the very act of writing and narrating the shared experience of a given…

    My life is rather very complicated. Of course, I know that I’m not the only one that lives like this, and that other people may have it much worse than I do. Whether its struggle with bills or all together as a family, I still try to do the very best I can. Although we have troubles, I don’t express my emotions of that matter, but rather be who I am, which is being happy and making every day possible.

    Emily Dickinson is well known for her unusual poems, however during her life she wasn’t famous till after she passed away when her family started to find 1000’s of her poems stuff in tiny spaces all around the house. Dickinson’s writing wasn’t well understood during her time, she had a uniqueness that was ahead of her time; she had an amazing use of symbols, capitalism, themes and tones in her writing which make reading her poems so intriguing. While growing up she wasn’t the average women, she had her own thoughts and beliefs which is something I love about her which brings me to one of my favorite poems by her: “I’m Nobody! Who are you?” I 'm Nobody!…

    As I reflect on my personal life I value life itself to the point I live each day not knowing what to expect the next day. Positivity is a major factor in all that I do to the point of trying to view all things in a positive way and leaving the negativity out the door. As a mother, partner, educator, and entrepreneur I strive to be mindful, spiritual, and conscious of all my actions. I value these things because this is what makes up my life and what I live for each day. My life is a fourth generation person and I relate because I “want to live, love, learn, and leave it like a seed with balance and joy" (Covey, 73) the quality of my life is more important than planning it out.…
