    I had never heard of “Cristela” before having to watch it for class. The first two episodes are quite comical and I was sorry to read on IMDB that the show only aired for one season before being canceled. An interesting fact about “Cristela” is that Cristela Alonzo, the star of the show, “is the first Latina to create, produce, write, and star in her own primetime comedy” (“All Jokes Aside,” 2014). Another fact about the show is that every single character is based off someone that Cristela Alonzo knows (Saraiya, 2014).…

    Through the stories of Esperanza, Esteven, and Taylor, America is not seen as a classless society. Esperanza and Esteven came to America with the dream that they will be treated as equally as everyone else in the society, but the reality is that they are often referred to as “illegals”(261). Being referred to as illegal enrages Esteven because he is an English teacher and he can truly bring benefits to the society, but due to his ethnicity, he is unable to remain in America. Even after the various efforts to remain in America, in the end, the government still wants to eliminate the Indian population. Therefore, this causes Esperanza and Estevan to feel as if “they do not belong in any place”(261).…

    I can definitely relate to Gualinto’s character in the manner that I consider myself both Mexican and American as well as being part of a new culture all on its own platform, Hispanic. Similar to my stance, Gualinto yearned to belong and adapt successfully to both worlds while always recognizing that, “he was not an immigrant come to a foreign land,” despite other’s beliefs; unfortunately, in today’s world there are still some individuals that see Mexican Americans as foreigners in the land of Anglos and make it hard for us to live peacefully in our communities. (148) Moreover, I do believe that racism continues to exist in this world and people look down on individuals that come from different backgrounds; hence, Trump and his outspoken negative…

    While producers of operas often cast extraordinary singers and performers, it is quite difficult to find the appropriate actress to portray Carmen and Don Jose. Unexpectedly, Jennifer Johnson Cano appeared to be a good fit for the role, both in beauty and voice, though not ethnicity. Her gift in performance was clear in her commanding presence upon the stage and she was quite appropriate for the role of the femme fatale. Aided by theatrical elements and her role, it was clear the audience could not take their eyes off of her when she was on the stage. At times, she also appeared to be the best female singer, with her full, mezzo-soprano voice.…

    Don Quixote is a static character, an insane protagonist that has a condition that justifies adventures and quests. He embodies a knight errant, a chivalrous man of the sword, a classic archetype that is a key player during the feudal era, and one of the first things that comes to mind when we think of early Europe. Nonetheless, our knight errant Don Quixote exists in the wrong time, and if Sancho Panza wasn’t his squire and loyal companion he would be a two dimensional character in a one dimensional world; Sancho Panza’s duality of character allows for Quixote to gain depth, and take form as the insanely chivalrous character he is. It’s safe to assume that if it wasn’t for the multi-faceted Sancho Panza, we would have a much shorter account of Don Quixote. On one of the first days of their adventures, Don Quixote charges a group of…

    Charlotte Lennox wrote her famous 18th century novel The Female Quixote with the intention of exploring how fiction can be used to describe women’s lives and the societal expectations that surround women. Lennox’s spin on the classic quixotic character who suffers from romantic delusions was the perfect avenue for constructing a satirical novel which prompts the reader to question many societal norms surrounding gender roles. Lennox structures her novel as a series of comic “adventures” of Arabella which bring to light the clash between Arabella’s outwardly beautiful and graceful appearance with her quixotic reliance on romantic whims. Unlike many other 18th century women characters, Arabella feels empowered by her physical beauty due to her…
