A big bird that was sitting
Laura Esquivel is a Mexican writer, famously known for having written: "Como agua para chocolate" (Like water for chocolate).
In one of her texts, she describes how magical and unique were her experiences early as a child when being part of the "ceremony" her mother and grandmother would make in order to prepare the food they were going to eat. In one of those occasions, she was warned by one of the Help not to step on a corn kernel because the God of the Corn was inside it and she had to be respectful to it. Later, she moved away, left the kitchen stories behind, and learned all sorts of things. Among them, she realized the God of Corn belonged to the primitive magical thinking (mythic belief system of the native communities) of humans which has no place in the rational, scientific and modern world. Nevertheless, within the years, she saw herself repeating not only the steps to cook a certain dish but also the stories the women of her family would tell her. That way she integrated her past with the cooking and found herself stopping her own daughter from stepping on a kernel of corn, because, as she was taught, there it was the God of Corn. She learned to give the food the importance it was given many many years ago, especially the corn, which was a symbol of life, fertility and prosperity for the ancient Mexicans.

Reasons for Missouri Compromise
1) Allows the US to add more states. If this is passed, Missouri and Maine will become states.
2) This act gives us a short term solution for slavery. The 36’30 line allows all US state to understand where slavery can and cannot exist.
3) Maintains a balance of slave and free states in the US Congress.
Reasons against compromise
1) Doesn’t provide a long term solution to slavery. With this act, it establishes a temporary line but what happens when a new territory wants to come into the US and throws of the balance of slave and free states in Congress?
