Bernal Diaz del Castillo Bernal Diaz was born in 1492 or 1498 to Maria Diaz Rejón and Francisco Diaz del Castillo, a regidor (council member) of the town of Medina del Campo, in Castilla y León. The family was distinguished but not wealthy. In 1514, Bernal went to seek his fortune in America with Pedrarias Dávila (Pedro Árias de Ávila), Bishop Fonseca's newly appointed governor of Castilla del Oro. A cruel and unscrupulous schemer, Pedrarias excelled at extorting riches by torturing native rulers, looting gems and gold from their graves, and eliminating potential rivals. (Pedrarias had his prospective son-in-law Balboa and four companions beheaded on trumped-up charges in 1519.)

For the Limon family it was hard to come to realize that their home had radically changed its politics and society and had began to spiral into a political rebellion. “... Our world, our Hispanic world, was falling apart. My father...was appalled and disgusted by the era’s violence and lawlessness”. Sonora’s academia de musica, like many other art institutions had vanished . His father served as the

Roberto Bolaño’s Amulet is a carefully intertwined story of Auxilio’s past and present: the memories of a woman amidst the revolutionaries of Mexico, and a woman’s fight for sanity as she remains in the women’s bathroom in the Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) during its occupation. The occupation began on September 18, 1968, was followed by the Tlatelolco massacre on October 2, 1968, in which a peaceful student protest ended with the army shooting in the crowd (Doyle). Roberto Bolaño creates a memoir of these protesters via the narration of Amulet, utilizing a manipulation of time and structure, imagery pertaining to loss of teeth and voice, and themes of death associated with the imagery of valleys. Bolaño seamlessly jumps between

In his work “The Underdogs”, Mariano Azuela is able to master the spirit of villismo regarding both its theoretic, underlying principles as well as the movement’s subsequent physical manifestations. Though significant characters conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the humble agrarian spirit central to villismo’s origin, characters in this text also exhibit the disruptive, callous behavior that is more characteristic of the federalist forces and dictatorships they aimed to unseat. Moreover, Demetrio’s degenerating understanding of the reason he’s fighting, coupled with his few instances of immorality, symbolizes the collapse of villismo morality into its culminating bandit-ridden reality. Cowboys, farmers, and other agrarian people suffering from land and labor oppression united together as the diverse “pieces of a great social movement [to] exalt their motherland” . Demetrio and Solis embody this original character of villismo revolution, as they maintain a moral, humanitarian compass throughout the novel.

A question to be asked is, how is one supposed to act in the situation as the brother is with

Francisco de Vitoria is often painted as the more logical and more fair jurist when compared to Juan López Palacios Rubios. Vitoria, however, is no bleeding heart. Rather, he evades the outright imperial rhetoric employed by Palacios Rubios and chooses instead to hide colonialism under the guise of religion. By first refuting Palacios Rubios’s claims that the pope could give Spain jurisdiction over the so-called “New World,” and that the natives needed to be stopped from committing crimes against the law of nature, Vitoria creates a better persona for himself. But immediately after his initial rebuttal of Palacios Rubios’s justification for Spanish colonialism in the New World, Vitoria gives his own justification.

Discuss and analyze how and to what ends fantasy and reality are intertwined in stories you have studied. In this essay, we will discuss how magical realism uses elements of real and of magic to create the literary style. At first, we will try to give a background of what magic realism, where it comes from, and how a story can be labelled as such. Alejo Carpentier’s “Viaje a la semilla” and Julio Cortazar’s “La noche boca arriba” will be our focus.

Believing the relationship between the temporality and narrativity is reciprocal, Paul Ricouer coins the term, narrative time, to challenge the ordinary representation of time. He believes it is individuals’ concern that determines the narrative time in different degrees of temporal organization, and forms individual, as well as collective identity. F. S. Fitzgerald’s “the Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, stands out to be an appropriate text, showing the impact of time on narrative and identity. On one hand, it, as a magical realistic story whose protagonist owns chronological time exactly in reverse of the cosmological time, directly dismantles the traditional fashion of time, and reinforces the identity of Baltimore upper class; and on the
