In chapter one of the book The Prince of Los Cocuyos, the author, Richard Blanco, writes about his grandmother and the difficulty for her to assimilate in this new strange place full of “gringos”. The difficulty of assimilation is portrayed the most when Richard tells us readers of his grandmothers fear of even stepping into Winn-Dixie, which is of course, an all american store. She is afraid of trying something new, therefore, she keeps returning to La Sorpresita, which was a small grocery store where she has shopped ever since she moved to Miami.

Marisol was written by Jose Rivera, premiering in 1992. He and other Latin American writers are known for creating works under magical realism. This genera of art traditionally depicts down and out suffering. He highlights topics about class, race and gender by skewing the reality the audience knows with allegory and symbolism. After the clash between the senile God and the Angels ensue, the New York becomes an unsettling dystopia. In this world, all foods are salt, it rains acid, and men can give birth. Throughout this desecrated world, the characters search for a way to keep on living. The actors portray these characters with honest intentions and clear acting choices, which allowed me to believe and empathize with their characters. After seeing this play, I understand that one cannot grow by dwelling in the past.

I remember when my mom would get me ready for bed putting pillows and covers in my bed, but most importantly right before she went to work she would read me a bed time story. “Donde viven los Monstruos” by Maurice Sendak was one of the books my mom read to me she would put a lot of excitement in order for me to get happy of what was going on in the book but also so I could knockout in bed. Both of my parents where hard working people they worked day and night earning minimum wage they decided it was time for them to come with a game plan during the day time my mom would teach me how to multiply at the age of 5 and at night my dad would be teaching me how to read and write.

In Wim Wender’s Buena Vista Social Club, a sense provoking landscape is created through sounds and visuals of both Havana and the collaborative musical effort of the members of Buena Vista Social Club. Although we have examined many examples of landscapes through photographs and paintings, the documentary offers a unique observance of landscape through its incorporation of moving images and the sounds that accompany them. This is especially important when analyzing this film’s landscape, as the music embodies not only the main achievement of the group, but of the sounds of Havana and its past. Buena Vista Social Club offers an interesting perspective on how Havana’s landscape has crumbled, changed and disappeared, only to be reconstituted through
