Bajo la Alambrada, La Soledad, No Speak English, Mi Nombre, and La Pulga, on the surface, are all stories that seem to be just personal stories of people who are of Mexican-American descent. In actuality, all these stories have at least one common theme of examining the struggle of assimilating to the American culture. These pieces of literature are all reflections of the experience that immigrants and children of immigrants have in a culture that fails to accept them or in even making an effort…

struggles, which led to acceptance of the collision of my cultures. Furthermore, this leads to a division within my personality. I identify with Gloria Anzaldua’s explanation of the tolerance for ambiguity as a tolerance for contradictions in “La Consencia de la Mestiza.” She stated, “She learns to juggle cultures.

The picture “Las Meninas” which was created by Diego Velázquez is a well-known work of art, and for good reason. It’s considered one of the relatively few masterpieces due to both the complexity and the quality of the art. The artist may have known the people and characters he is representing within the painting, and the room used may also have been a known location to the artist. The painting uses distinct differences in value to bring focus to certain points. Emphasis seems to be on the…

let go. Because we are going home. My son and I” (Viramontes 180). Much like La Llorona, who died searching for her children, this woman met the same fate. Viramontes’s use of intertextuality in this short story was imperative so that the reader could understand the grief of this one woman, was the grief of many and forever preserved in legend. It only emphasized the unjust fragmentation of this woman’s family. The tale of La Llorona was an emotional and heart-wrenching backdrop to the real…

On the surface, one might not think that the great Italian opera La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi and the acclaimed indie group Dinosaur Jr. have much in common.

Indeed, there may appear to be no similarities between the effortlessly skilled classical stylings of the UNT College of Music…
