Victor Jara

During the coup d'etat of Augusto Pinochet, Víctor Jara and thousands of other people who supported to Salvador Allende were placed in a stadium in the capital of Chile. There, Jara was assassinated by Pedro Pablo Barrientos. The boy Luchín is poor and plays with a rag ball and with a cat and a dog. Luchin eats earth and worms and the poetic voice wants to help the child, that is free of poverty. A prayer is a prayer. In "Prayer to a Labrador," the poetic voice is addressed to the farmers, the peasants. The songs "Mobile Oil Special" and "I like students" are similar because they both talk about student revolutions. The two songs celebrate students and student movements, supporting students. In Chile, Chileans say paco to the police / carabineros and a guanaco is an animal similar to the llama. In "Canto libre," there are many metaphors such as "the verse is a dove that seeks to nest," "my song is a free song that wants to give to whoever shakes hands," and "my song is a chain without beginning Nor end. " The three metaphors describe the power of a song.

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.
