The term 'In medias res' is a Latin phrase which means 'In the middle of things or events'.

Explanation:

The term 'In medias res' is a Latin phrase which means 'In the middle of things or events'.

In Homer's epic, Odyssey, he begins with the phrase In medias res. The story thus begins with the wanderings of Odysseus and then goes on with the Trojan War. Knowing the journey of Odysseus, it creates interest in the reader.  The story becomes enjoyable by the narration of Odysseus's journey rather than beginning with the winning of the Trojan war.

Anni [7]

Answer: "café com leite" (Coffee with Milk). It is a metaphor, of course. "Coffee" is for state Sao Paulo and "Milk" is for Minas Gerais.

Sao Paulo tried to dominate rest of the country at all price and there was a group of states that did not like that (Rio Grande do Sul, Alagoas, Minas Gerais and others). Culmination took place in 1930 elections ....according to elections Julio Prestes was supposed to be a president, but there was a coup made by other states (led by Rio Grande do Sul, i.e. advocate and politician Getúlio Vargas). The coup took place in October 1930 and Vargas got to power. Constitution from 1891 ceased to exist and Vargas changed a political map of Brazil. New Era began: "Era Vargas".
