Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges was considered one of the best writers during the 20th century because he developed a new type of writing which opened the door for more opportunities in the world. He was known as a "genre blender" since he would mix pieces of literature his with own unique work. A laberinto is a labyrinth which is a an intricate combination of paths or passages in which it is difficult to find one's way or to reach the exit. I believe that the labyrinths were important in Borges work because it would represent the existence of society, the connection of the catholic church like culture, the governor and the life of all Christians. The labyrinth was so complicated that who ever entered got lost which would end up ultimately in no one wanting to enter. It wasn't a labyrinth literally for society or for man itself it was more for God. I believe he was scandalous because he could always escape the labyrinths. El rey de los árabes entered the labyrinth, he was very confused with the passage and where exactly he needed to go. Later he saw that a door was open and thats how he escaped. Upon leaving he told the rey of Babilonia that he had a better labyrinth in Arabia. The king of Babilonia came to the labyrinth of the rey of Arabia only to find out it was a labyrinth for sure but he was stuck in the middle of the desert abandoned.

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....

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.
