It wasn’t until I transferred to Texas Tech University that my interest in Hispanic culture expanded and became my focus. I was…

station is also compared to their lifestyle as a couple. When you think about a train station, you know that someone is traveling somewhere. The train station is basically a turning point, or midpoint, in both of their lives. Whether it is going to Madrid to have the procedure done, or turning back and keep going along with the pregnancy, some decision has to be made. The stickers on both of their luggage are also a symbol of their travels together. It is another way to show such a long way the…

parents were members of the aristocratic upper class known as the Creoles. Unfortunately for Bolivar, he lost his parents at the tender age of nine. Seven years later, in 1799, Bolivar was relocated from his native Venezuela to the Spanish capital of Madrid to finish his studies. It was during this time in Spain that Bolivar’s uncle secured access to the court of Charles V, as well as a few Spanish nobles. In the year of 1802, Bolivar would return to his hometown, but he would return to Europe…

The Spanish Civil War in 1936-1939 is a historically complex event interwoven in both internal and foreign agendas. This was manifest in the involvement of various factions from militia, unions, and parties of different standings and ambitions.

after goal. The happiness they both can share in a way both will be happy. Again using crime, they both got away scot free. The train station to others was the current point of the argument. I don’t believe it to be true because the train is going to Madrid no matter the choice made. No matter how the argument goes that point doesn’t change. And the train wont suddenly change directions. The train station better represents time itself. That the choice cannot be mulled over forever. Instead of…
