People will judge others solely based on their physical appearances. In the short story, “The Story of my body,” the author, Judith Ortiz Cofer comes to relations with this. She describes how she was victim of judgment because she was a kid whom looked different than most American kids. Ortiz Cofer tried to change everything about who she really is just to get by for the day without being judged. She was labled different, all she ever wanted to do was to be like everyone else. This eventually led

Reasons Behind Puerto Rican Migration to America As a Puerto Rican who was born and raised in Hartford, I did not think much about how or why my parents are here in the United States. It was after reading the articles in Hist 247 Reader: Latinos in the USA that I began to question the reasons and conditions of my grandparent's migration. Many think that Puerto Ricans began to migrate to the United States after 1898 when the United States took over Puerto Rico but Puerto Ricans have been migrating

million Puerto Ricans, 25 percent of them living in New York with an estimated 900,000 living in New York City (Kittler, Sucher, Nelms 263). Since there is such a large amount of Puerto Ricans living within New York, their food and culture have made an impact on the cuisine of these highly populous cities. There are many restaurants in New York City along with other major cities that include traditional Puerto Rican foods which will be discussed throughout the paper. Puerto Rican culture is extremely

default. Puerto Ricans are considered Americans. If you are automatically born in Puerto Rico, you are automatically a U.S citizen. They use U.S passports to travel internationally. Some people are inclined to view the Puerto Rican experience as a historical repetition of earlier migrations to the United States. However, the migration experience of Puerto Ricans to the United States is more complex, as well as one of a kind. Similarities do exist between the migration of Puerto Ricans and that of other

into modern English—the kind of English people actually speak today. Hector Figueroa “Puerto Rican workers: a profile.”, 1997. Web. 17 Nov. 2017. The author addresses that many Puerto Ricans have made the move from the island to the States. In fact, over one third of the Puerto Rican population resides in the US. Of those, forty percent live in New York. During the 1950’s, the Puerto Rican experience was one of hard work and little or no rewards. Most Puerto Rican men and women were working in the harshest

love with the environment. She was raised in a very political family. Her father, Jose Figueres Ferrer, served 3 terms as president of Costa Rica. During his terms, he founded the modern Costa Rican democracy and removed the nation’s standing army. Christiana’s mother, Karen Olsen Beck, served in the Costa Rican congress and was an ambassador to Israel. Growing up in a political family had an impact on what the four children did with their future. All four children went into some type of political position

and during the Civil War. Other documents that I believe will have a vital influence on my history are documents from the United States Government. The C.I.A has multiple documents that were produced in the years leading up to and during the Costa Rican Civil War. I believe these documents will allow me to explore the role the United States played. Finally I also hope

to reach today’s diverse culture. There was once a time when the church was made up of one group of people. Today they have become more diverse in population. My church, which consists of about 100 to 150 members has a very diverse population. For example, our congregation consists of Blacks, Whites, Porto Ricans, and Jamaicans. I am very familiar with the Black/White cultures, but the Porto Rican and Jamaican cultures, I must say I was a novice to other cultures. They quickly taught me about their

When arriving to this exhibition I was excited to try and understand the story behind each piece of art. When first entering the exhibition I was shrouded in darkness with only the voices of the people in the videos to keep me company. The first thing that caught my eye was the videos playing in front of me and the ones I could hear playing in the distance I was overwhelmed for a second because it felt like I was taking too much in, but I got myself together and sat down for the first video.
