interaction with the reader, which make the essay both persuasive and interesting, Vonnegut also follows most of the intellectual standards quite well. He is very clear on all of the points he makes, and his statements are also very relevant to what he is trying to say. He spends a lot of time deeply discussing guessers and Semmelweis, and overall he does well in being specific with the statements he makes.

The greatest flaw in his essay is that Vonnegut doesn’t discuss any opposing viewpoints: he exhibits fairness in his development from different starting points, but he doesn’t spend time presenting other lines of reasoning. Vonnegut’s essay clearly shows the dangers of guessing and the heroicness of one who acts out of knowledge in a persuasive and intellectually honest way.…

Question #1 Chicanos have gone through a lot and specifically thought out the 1970’s. The Chicano movement in the 1970’s can be described as powerful, political, and history changing. It was just not the adults who struggled, the Chicano youth took a part too. For instance, the youth were struggling with identity, equal education, and just plain discrimination. Chicano youth struggle with identity because when they are in the United States they are pressured into giving in into the dominant…

“Huelga! Huelga! Huelga!” grandma screamed alongside Cesar Chavez and hundreds of other protesters outside the Delano, California vineyards. The rays of the burning sun, searing their skin were the least of their concerns. Protesters were there to proclaim justice for all the farm workers that had been denied the right for proper working conditions in the fields. Bertha Silva came from a Mexican decedent, her parents moved to Delano, California when she was the age of 11. Soon after arriving,…

As far as american history and civil rights goes, the education system should not teach us that black and white racism was the only issue at the time. In fact, schools managed to ignore the civil rights struggle involving Mexican Americans, Asians, LGBT community etc. I became heavily interested in this topic my first semester here at state once I took a latino studies course where we touched bases on the Chicano movement that occurred in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
