Luis A. Ferré

The names were recognizable from some articles I had read about local gang bosses. I figured Max Barroni had some ties to some bad people, but I never considered the mob. He was intimidating and sly, which was why I had started researching him in the first place. His visits to our offices were increasing in frequency and Luis, my boss, was agitated each time he left. I thought I was doing Luis a favor by looking into the man. I had no idea what a mess I would uncover. My in-house research yielded little information about the man himself, however, the money trail spoke volumes. There were lots of it filtering through Luis's campaign and personal…

In some instances they come down there to find out why they were suspended. He spent most of his time showing me how a physician can be put on suspension and how to deal with them once they find out. He works with the doctors most of the time to resolve the suspension issue.

I have heard stories of how bad an encounter can go with an angry physician but Luis…

humour as its upbeat, non-diegetic nature undermines this grotesque imagery. “Historically, this film represents a violent reaction against what at the time was called ‘avant garde cine’ which was directed exclusively to the artistic sensibility and to the reason of the spectator.” This film constantly eludes the predictable nature of classical cinema through its surrealist art. Its rationality is peculiar and the events are never questioned by any of the characters, diverting from classical…

The Renovation of a Damaged People: Mexico’s Post-Revolution Cultural Recovery Throughout history, music, art, and literature have held key roles in dealing with and responding to current political events. This type of culture has been used for good and evil - spreading truth that inspires the masses to make a change, or propaganda in order for a government to cultivate certain ideas within its citizens.

Meanwhile, Paul decides to get out of the bleachers, jump through the air and land right on the coaches back.This is exactly what happened, “Then Tino stepped back, measured the distance, and brought his knee up into Erik’s face… ‘That's…

one person in the novel Tangerine. In Edward Bloor’s novel Tangerine, Luis Cruz fits the mythological archetype of mentor because he aids, is a positive figure to, and trains Paul. Proving to be a mentor, Luis aids Paul. Aiding him means to help him in some way, shape, or form. For instance, when Paul is scared of Erik and Arthur, Luis helps him by saying, “I wouldn’t be scared they’re punks.” And you shouldn’t be either”(Bloor 277). Although Luis tells him not to be scared he also tells him…

Imagination, visions, and dreams were all used to shape his writing (“Literary Notes”). His short story “The Circular Ruins” is one of the best examples, because the…

We all judge too harshly, especially our parents. As Italian writer, Silvio Pellico, once expressed, “Exigir a los progenitores, para respetarlos, que esten libres de defectos y que sean la perfeccion de la humanidad es soberbia e injusticia.” It isn’t until we are much older that we understand why they did what they did. I’ve still got many years to understand why my father is the way he was and is. My dad was born in McAllen, Texas, but lived most of his childhood in Cerritos, San Luis…
