Answer:

Family is very important to the author, so it makes me think that family is important to Hispanic culture. Even extended family members are close in the story. It also seems like the author has a strong sense of family history. The author’s ancestors are remembered by passing on their names to the children. Hispanic heritage has always been a big part of the author’s life. Some parts of it, such as having to introduce her big family to her friends, embarrasses her. But it’s her family and her Hispanic heritage that supports her and helps her deal with the challenges of being an immigrant.

Answer and Explanation:

After reading the essay "Names nombres" written by J. Alvarez, we can learn how difficult it is for a family of Spanish origin to maintain their names and traditions within a totally different culture like that of the USA, especially when that family comes from a country considered to be "third world", seen as inferior and often shameful and devalued. This affected the way Alvarez saw her own identity, associated with her and her family names. These names were pronounced so differently by the Americans, it seemed that they were erasing the Latin origin of it and imposing an Americanized and more "normal" version.

In this essay, Alvarez approaches her youth as a Latin immigrant in the USA. It shows how difficult it is to live between two cultures and how it affects various elements in people's lives.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A set point in the historical time line stands as the medieval period. The medieval period in history was the era in European history – from around the 5th to the 15th century, coming after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and preceding the start of the early modern era. This historical time period has been long since been the victim of film directors and romantic novelists, which has lead to the common, but false, idea of the medieval period consisting of knights and damsels in distress, wizards and dragons, and castles and battles. Although mainly wrong in most parts and being highly historically inaccurate – some aspects of the dramatic works do play true to the original time period.  

Certainly within British/English history we…show more content…

Another relevant role of the medieval period was the development of parliament later in the period. It is of high relevance to society today – as the controlling force of the country arose from the proposed council of 25 (Magna Carta) and developed into the fully fledged House of Commons and Lords that we know today. Magna Carta also played other, hugely influential roles in the world as we know. The first written constitution is very important in America – with the declaration of independence, signed in ... - being based on this very document. However, the Magna Carta was not always this important, as it was annulled by Pope Urban shortly after King John signed it.

Why do you think the Terrible Things take away the animals one group at a time?
Alex73 [517]
<span>his book basically represents what happened during the holocaust ... just in a different form. The terrible things (a.k.a. the Nazis) take away the animals (a.k.a. the different groups of people persecuted during the holocaust) one at a time because it was easy. The Nazis in real life did the same thing. By taking groups one at a time no large uproar was caused. If they had taken more animals, there might have been a larger negative reaction and possibly a revolt. The animals were able to justify the other animals being taken away, and by justifying the terrible thing's reasoning and actions they made it easier for the terrible things to continue. As for the last question ... often people do not listen to one lone voice in a crowd, especially one that in young and supposedly "inexperienced." Unfortunately for us, children are often able see things in a different and more "black and white" light, and by not listening to what they have to say we all lose out. H</span>
