    Mericans By Cisneros Summary

    “Mericans” takes place somewhere in Mexico at a church that the secondary character, “Awful Grandmother” goes to pray. The author enriches the story by first using Spanish words, like La Virgen de Guadalupe and la ofrenda to ease the reader into the story’s setting. As these words play coy to the ear, I begin to visualize a small town church, the warmth in the air, dusty skies and the laughter of children hammering footsteps on the pavement as they play their favorite games. Awful Grandmother disappears through a heavy leather curtain that has a dusty velvet inner, while the children must remain outside. Vendors are set up outside the church, that sell comic books, fried cookies and balloons. You could almost hear the joy that is enlightened in the hearts of children bestowed by their favorite “Familia Burron comic book.” However, Micaela and her brothers are not allowed to partake in these vendors. Then, Micaela states that, “There are armies of penitents carrying banners and flowered arches while musicians play tinny trumpets and tinny drums” as the author flourishes the setting. Next, we are introduced to the La Virgin de Guadalupe, which is sitting, “behind a plate of thick glass” and a “gold crucifix bent crooked as a mesquite tree when someone once threw a…

    Juan Diego and the Virgin Mary

    The legend of the supposed sighting of the Virgin Mary by Juan Diego, from Britannica Biographies, starts of that his first vision of The Virgin Mary was on December 9, 1531. When he was visited, he was on Tepeyac Hill, which lies outside of Mexico City. In Náhuatl, the native language of Aztecs, asking him to build a shrine on the hill. Juan went to tell the Bishop about the incident but the Bishop did not believe his story and wanted proof. On December 12, Juan was visited by the Virgin Mary again and told Juan to collect roses and bring them to the Bishop as proof also she told him his uncle will recover from his sickness. After gathering roses, even while it was winter and not a suitable environment for roses, he brought them to the Bishop. As dozens of roses fell out of his cloak an image of the Virgin Mary was imprinted and visible on the inside of his cloak. Once the Bishop saw the proof he ordered that a church be built on Tepeyac Hill. (Encyclopedia, Britannica)…

    The Influencing Machine Analysis

    Brook Gladstone and Neufeld use a unique way to engage to her audiences by using a descriptive and entertainment style. They use a lot of details and word play in a simple way. By using simplicity in a style, the reader can understand the topic more accurately. However, if something is too simple than the reader will get bored because there isn’t enough material to get engaged with. Also the way they use history in their style to show the changes through the years is very intriguing. A nice example would be where she uses the romans in her illustration (333). Furthermore, the way the story feels when it's voiced is nice. Meaning of that is when someone is reading the story they can feel and hear the voice of the person writing. Feels like we are inside the head of Gladstone and Neufeld, seeing the process of how they think. Not to mention by doing so it really connects people with the authors themselves. Finally they're writing style is very unique and the way they try to connect with the audience differently than a normal author would is very refreshing to…

    The Virgin of Guadalupe

    From reading I learned that the origin of the importance of the Virgin of Guadalupe can be traced back to the religious beliefs and ceremonies that animated the daily lives of pre-Hispanic people from birth to death. Even though the Spanish conquest imposed Christianity and colonialism on the original populations, the Catholic Church allowed--some say even encouraged--the association between specific locations and Aztec deities as a means to effect an easier transition from native religions to Christianity, resulting in the introduction of localized patron saints. Worship of the Virgin Mary was encouraged through a variety of manifestations, such as the Virgin of Remedios and the Immaculate Conception. After the conquest, the church destroyed shrines to indigenous gods and goddesses, and tried to stamp out the cult of Tonantzin, an Aztec virgin deity. Since manifestations of the Virgin had encouraged the conquistadors, many images of the Virgin Mary had made their way to the New World.…

    Virgin Of Guadalupe Analysis

    In the late seventeenth century Mexican art was strongly influenced by the Baroque movement in Europe. By the eighteenth century this new Mexican Baroque style of art had developed in New Spain. Many of the familiar traits of baroque art are present in eighteenth century Mexican artwork such as naturalism, tenebrism, and audience involvement. Many paintings done in the Mexican baroque style featured a naturalist element. Often the paintings featured the very typical, every day life (New Spain was very religious, so the naturalist element was presented in religious genre scenes). There are many paintings where tenebrist lighting is used in less dramatic ways. Another baroque trait that really stands out is the way…

    Guadalupe

    Occurring only ten years after the final conquest in Mexico, the Lady of Guadalupe event served as a crucial point in shaping the newly contacted Spanish and native cultures. Spanish friars initially tried to force their religion upon the natives. They found the native practices of human sacrifice appalling and felt it was their duty to spread the Christian gospel to all those they considered unenlightened. Since the event in 1531 the story of Guadalupe has helped to harmonize the conflict between the two. To this day the significance of Guadalupe is still deeply embedded within Latin American spirituality. Virgilio Elizondo states in Guadalupe: Mother of the New Creation that the idea of Guadalupe comprises an “American Gospel” (p. 134). The apparition Juan Diego experienced with Guadalupe, the Mother of God, encompasses Spanish Catholic elements, Nahua elements, and Mestizo elements that contributed to what Pope John Paul II acclaimed as “an impressive example of a perfectly inculturated evangelization” of the gospel.…

    I read the story and I learned that how the author is great writer to get readers involve deeply. He described his feelings and motives using his characters from each levels in their environment. It made me think about the discrimination through his narrative. I liked how the author made the story occurred with the daring whisper that Josh has heard. In my opinion, this kind of deep thoughts can be told to the readers in different way of writing, but how the author used this “fiction” writing made readers more involved and it was impressing for me.…

    Fever 1793

    The action in this book is very suspenseful. For example, in one chapter the main character is alone in her deserted coffee shop, while her grandfather is asleep upstairs. Two adult thieves came in and Mattie hid. They looked around and shoved many of her special family heirlooms and other items into their big sacks. During this, one thieve almost cuts her with her grandfather's sword from the war. She comes out of hiding and runs. They catch her and tie her up. Her slap her to try and get her to spill were the coffee shop earnings are hidden. Her grandfather awakes and comes downstairs with a gun. He threatens to shoot and does, but the thieves dodge the bullet. Grandfather is thrown to the ground because of the force of the shot. One thieve runs away and the other goes and beats grandfather up. While this is going on, Mattie grabs her grandfather's sword and cuts the thieve on his shoulder. He cries out in pain and runs toward the door as Mattie chases after him, shouting some foul words the author unmentioned. After running a few blocks, she figured the thieves were long gone and rushed back to the coffee shop. To me, this scene was one of the most intense out of the whole book. I think it really does show how powerful this book is and it is packed with a lot of suspense. The interactions between the characters also made this book compelling.…
