    Latino culture, specifically Puerto-Rican culture has changed through the course of history. Puerto Rico has witnessed a fusion of races and cultures spanning over many years, starting in 1898, after the Spanish-American war. Ultimately, Puerto Rico was annexed to the United States, the Puerto Rican people made United States citizens with limited restrictions and granted commonwealth status. The changes made during those eras did not come without consequences to the Puerto Rican culture. In "Poisoned Story", author Rosario Ferre depicts the political and economic changing norms and tensions between the social classes of the Puerto Rican's culture. In Ferre's story "Poisoned Story" several major themes are prevalent through the story: opposition between the aristocratic and working class, literacy, interpretation of historicity and magic realism.…

    Disrupting traditional notions of linear time, Wilder's play The Skin of Our Teeth (1942) tells the story of the twentieth-century American Antrobus family in three acts. These acts record events such as the very beginning of the Ice Age, the start of Great Flood, and the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Yet, the characters dress and act like twentieth-century Americans. Ending exactly as it began, the play illustrates the cyclical nature of existence, celebrating humanity's resilience, inventiveness, and will to survive. The message of the play is not a new one. It mentions the cyclic nature of human existence. Yet, the quality of the play which makes it one of the most extraordinary plays is its untraditional form. Rejecting the conventions of naturalistic drama, the play provides its audience with an entertaining journey. The characters appear to be middleclass Americans and allegorical figures, and they also drop out of character and speak directly to the audience. As was experienced in Wilder’s earlier play Our Town (1938), this technique breaks theatrical illusion and reminds the viewers that they are watching a play. Along with Our Town, The Skin of Our Teeth is considered Wilder's theatrical masterpiece and an invaluable cornerstone of modern American drama.…

    My own life’s dream is to have a career in which I can surround myself in music. I will not let anything stand between my dream and I; however, I will never allow my dream to come between myself and my loved ones, or my reality. Many have already fallen victim to the pursuit of the American Dream – a fantastic projection of life that varies based upon its dreamer. However, the road to the American Dream, if followed blindly, can lead to nothing more than a dead end. In The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, respective protagonists Jay Gatsby and Willy Loman are blinded by the pursuit of the American Dream, and both meet their downfalls at the hands of their own ignorance. These two authors both criticize the human tendency for self-delusion through the flawed moral characters of Gatsby and Loman.…

    In “The Homecoming” Pinter uses the language shown in the play as a way of it not to be trusted, however what they are thinking to themselves is what should be trusted. Thinking past what is actually being said and the meaning behind it, will uncover what the character is trying to say. The language throughout the play is a game being played by the characters using it to get at each other. The way they are polite to one other is their version of taunting and being horrible to the other person.…

    By connecting children in different global regions we are now able to close the gaps between our cultures and societies.
