José Enrique Rodó - Ariel

Rodo stated that American admire the United Stated because they can and they do. But he also says that they can’t do it to an extent because then it will allow United states to appear higher than Latin America, since one nation is copying them.  Like we stated in class on Wednesday, using the culture or politics or ways of life from America wouldn’t be a positive thing for Latino America. Rodo states that he isn’t for United States because of how good of an example it shows for the other nations around the world. If he were to take this in consideration It wouldn’t be admirable because it would show the copying and not the naturalness that it takes to make your own laws or government. The main thing he fears is that the Latin American countries that are looking at the United States for reference will try to institutionalize the same thing that America is doing.


For me I believe Rodo makes an understanding point about imitation from America. I believe that every country should have their own laws, own politic structure especially culture that describes that country or the people well. If we have a nation full of America ways especially the way America is in law its way different than those Latino countries. I know that countries do look at others for advice if they need structure but everyone shouldn’t look at just America. I personally wish we have the legal system of some Latin American countries, because here we go by the book, over there they go by the truth and find out the truth as well. I believe that it’s very important to do your own thing, but use others for reflection.

Gabriela Mistral

The themes that reoccurred in the poetry of Gabriela Mistral portrayed a lot of kiddish vibes. She was a school teacher which was acceptable for her to about things like that. Her sexuality was a huge controversy. Because of her job and how much she adored kids, there never was a man in her life which allowed for suspicion in society. She addressed the rumor in a single passage in a journal saying that it was very insulting towards her.  I don't think it matters if she is a lesbian or not. No matter what her poetry should be looked at like a blind file. We should all appreciate and love her poetry no matter what.  The themes that I see in the poem "Meciendo" is about death and the live of a mother. Which can be categorized as a social norm without having the thought of a social preference. In my opinion its a very suttle that holds a very strong point without being harsh. The poem has a rhythm that's very calming. It reminds me of a mom rocking her baby to sleep,...

Alfonsina Storni

Alfonsina Storni was very different form the other poets that wrote in the time or era she lived in while writing her amazing poetry. She was a poet originated from Argentina. A couple things that make her very different form the other poets were the choice and wording and language she used for her poems. She also wrote a lot on feminism and her works were very detailed about her opinion. In the poem "Hombre pequeñito" the canary in the poem represents women during that time era. The women of suffrage especially and the cage metaphorically represents the ideas of those men. In my eyes it represented metaphorically a locked up scenario in which the women would be forced to do things which in this sense be placed in the cage to basically be told what to do. In the poem "Peso ancestral" I believe the tu represented the men in society who weren't appropriated to show emotion, or could've also been those in the community who weren't able to do so....

Jose Marti

José Martí era una poeta nacional de Cuba. Él era una figura importante para Cuba porque sus ideas ayudo unificar a Cuba. Martí está hablando de Cuba y que cantidad él está orgulloso a Cuba. “Nuestro América” es Cuba porque la cantidad de veces que empieza hablar de. Un problema con las universidades en Los Estados Unidos es que no hay una universidad de América. También las universidades ensenan el arte básica del gobierno. Ellos no saben nada sobre el político en que está pasando. Los jóvenes son ineducados y no querían la educación. Los jóvenes también entienden que no hay cultura fuerte en Los Estados Unidos. También querrán crear  las ideas de los políticos.
