    Hernan Cortes Summary

    The interaction between the explorers from Western Europe and the indigenous people of North and South America was shaped by the different cultures and beliefs that each come from. Over the course of several hundreds of years, many different explorers from Western Europe made the voyage to the Americas. Whether they were exploring the different bodies of land in the search of riches, or conquering the indigenous people that resided there, the attitudes of the men that traveled there were shaped by their own beliefs and values that were instilled in them by their home country. This is evident in Hernan Cortes’s account of the Aztec Empire. Sent by the Spanish monarch Charles V, Cortes was meant to find treasure and wealth and bring it back to Spain.…

    Punished By Victor Rios: Chapter Analysis

    In Punished, Victor Rios examines the ways in which the discrimination of the criminal justice system and general society against poor black and Latino boys pushes them towards future criminal involvement. In Chapter 5 Rios describes the criminal actions of these young men as acts of survival or of resistance against the system which oppresses them. In a system which immediately criminalizes them, the young men are unable to get jobs or educations. Without the education and learned cultural capital obtained for a higher social class, they are unable to socially advance and experience class reproduction. They must then resort to criminal actions for economic survival and social dignity.…

    El Sur And El Espíriu De La Colmena By Victor Erice

    In many of the films surveyed in this class, the point of view is from a child; many times, that child is a young girl. Many of these movies were made close to or after the death of the Francisco Franco and his dictatorship. That fact is something very important that I kept in mind as I watched the films. The two films that will be analyzed are “El Sur” and “El Espíriu de la Colmena” both written by Victor Erice. These two films are from the perspective of a child.…

    Modern Interpretation In The Morgue By Andres Serrano

    In contrast to the tradition of post-mortem photography, Serrano's modern interpretation in The Morgue illustrates emotional tragedies experienced by the subject that are portrayed through grotesque trauma. It is evident from the nature of Andres Serrano’s work that he has a profound interest in, or perhaps obsession with, life, death and mortality. There is a tension between his photographic directness and a theatrically baroque stylization of his provocative themes that are characteristic of the artist methodology (Reimschneider & Grosenick: 2000: 458). This series is a collection of cibachrome photographs taken of corpses from infant to old age who have died with varying causes, from meningitis to abuse and plane crash. The photographs are…

    Analysis Of Punished By Victor Rios

    Punished was written by Victor Rios and published in 2011. Rios wrote the book to chronicle the challenges young black and Latino boys faced within their improvised, highly criminalized neighborhoods. Rios grew up in Oakland, California and lived in the ghettos, mainly a poor, minority community; he was also a gang member involved in his fair share of trouble. Rios began looking for answers to the plights he and his community endured after the murder of his friend while they ran from a rival gang member. A conversation with the police whom Rios claimed told him they wanted the gangs to kill each other off, made him seek answers to the prevalence of violence that plagues poor populations.…
