Summary Of In Cuban I Was A German Shepard
The story “In Cuba I was a German Shepard" by Menendez (2002)
I chose this story because the strange title made me very curious to read it. The story is a dialogue between three people and one fourth in a public park dealing with the life of migration, Difficulties of creating a new life, and Impact of poverty on society. Although the dialogue between the characters includes humor, I didn't like it because there was an unpalatable elongation in the details, I think so.

- one quote with APA Citations: " So Bill Clinton dies in office, and they freeze his body " (Menendez, 2002, p.1)
- One paraphrase with APA Citations: "Carlos laughed long. Antonio laughed too, but he was careful not to laugh too much and he gave his friend a sharp look".

    Barry Levinson's Wag: The Dog Of

    In politics, individuals all hold their own political motivations which inspire their actions but however we can say that control and the thirst of power is the definite underlying goal. The primitive nature of this power can greatly affect not only individuals within Government but the general society as they exercise their democratic rights. This is derived from the repercussions of conflicting perspectives occurring within government which ultimately nurtures the growth of political stature for members and parties by juxtaposing one’s political agenda with another. This is especially seen in the use of the media as a platform for the creation of ‘truth’ within Barry Levinson’s Wag The Dog of which the ‘spin doctors’ implement in order…

    Another interesting story was “Anguiano Religious Articles”. This was a very creatively written story which not only utilized a large amount of cultural depictions and imagery, but it was also very religiously humorous. Told from the perspective of a woman, the story describes her hatred toward a store owner. Before journeying to the store, she is told that this store owner is a “crab ass”. The story is very short, but humorous…

    Cultural Devices In Hound Dog

    With a song like Hound Dog, it’s easy to see how the issues of cultural blending, borrowing, identification, and appropriation have very serious repercussions. Hound Dog was not Elvis Presley's; it was originally recorded four years earlier by Big Mama Thornton, a black woman from Alabama. However, the song itself received more attention when Elvis Presley "introduced" it to the world. While Big Mama Thornton died without ever receiving the recognition she deserved, Elvis Presley, a white man, is considered a legend and the "king" of rock n' roll. He is "the father" of rock ’n’ roll music although he didn’t invent it because he had white privilege.…

He is a middle-aged man who migrated from Mexico years ago and has lived in Southern California for more than half his life. He is a stubborn, strong-willed man whose country’s poverty and crime forced him to leave behind his beloved mother, as well as adolescent younger brothers and sisters. Despite the drastic change in environment, he has come to assimilate and adopted some of the Mainstream culture expressed in the United States, particularly in Southern California.…

    John F Kennedy Inaugural Address

    On the way up the elevator, I spoke with some more people. All of them worked mainly on the sixth floor. Charles Givens said that he was going to eat lunch and watch the president drive by. Bonnie Ray Williams said he didn’t really care about John F. Kennedy too much, especially with the Bay of Pigs incident in 1961 (History). I was going to ask a new employee named Lee Harvey Oswald about his opinion of the president, but the elevator door opened to the fifth floor, so I got out and got to work (ABC News).…

    It is amazing, ridiculous, and sometimes scary how the brain deals with trauma. It is also ludicrous to believe that your environment and how you are treated are not always believed to strongly affect children. The first story in this book is a very moving one. I thought it interesting and appropriate that that was his first child patient.…

    Summary Of Gary Shteyngart's Sixty-Nine Cents

    In the short story "Sixty-Nine Cents" Gary Shteyngart, a Jewish writer who was born in Soviet Russia and emigrated to the USA at the age of seven, depicts one of his first experiences of attempted assimilation in the American society. This short autobiographic story shows the dubious nature of any immigrant's life, where not even an ethnic identity but the internal feeling of belonging to a certain culture creates obstacles to quick assimilation and makes a person to feel an outsider.…
