I can probably guess what you are thinking…. “Tequila’s?” Well, yes. When we first discussed the observation and the different places to do it, I was stumped. I thought for many days about somewhere I could do my observation where I felt comfortable, I was not in an unfamiliar area, I did not know much about it, and I could really enjoy my experience. Finally, it hit me! Tequila’s Discoteque… simply known as Tequila’s. So many people I know eat there and have invited me numerous times, but I…

For my final cultural report, I ate dinner with my family at Gran Ranchero, an authentic Mexican restaurant in Parkersburg, West Virginia. The first thing I noticed about the restaurant was the décor. There were sombreros, maracas, and murals of homes and people in Mexico on the walls on the restaurant.

When people think about this saying, the first thing that comes to mind is do not eat that cheeseburger because you are what you eat. If you eat not healthy food therefore you are not healthy. This idea ties into what we have learned throughout the semester, what we eat makes us up. The food that we eat not only makes us up but it tells others about our culture, religion, gender, and…

In The Tortilla Curtain by TC Boyle, Candido’s headache is representative of his constant struggle between right and wrong, his inability to act upon his thoughts and opinions, and the guilt that he reminisces at the core of his attention. Candido’s headache impairs his ability to make accurate judgements. Boyle says “He didn’t blame her. But he was drunk and angry and he wanted to hurt her, wanted to hurt himself” alluding to his violent behavior due to the headache in his life (187). Candido…

Boundaries are a common symbol in “The Tortilla Curtain”. Walls, Fences and gates are used to separate immigrants and animals from the citizens of Arroyo Blanco in order for the whites to be protected from the “Others”.
