The first artwork I selected was the “Serpent Labret with Articulated Tongue”; the artist of this piece is unknown. I was looking forward to this the most because this piece was used to advertise/promote the Golden Kingdom exhibition at the Getty Museum. The picture of this piece was everywhere; it was on the wall, signs, stairs, maps, and pamphlets. Just by looking at the pictures I saw and not knowing what it was, I thought that this piece was a hair accessory, like a hairpin because of its long
If we are a sheep hiding in wolves clothing will we become a wolf? In The Underdogs novel Demetrico Macias earns a place as general and leads a group of men for the rebel cause against the government. We see that his reasoning for this is to finally get revenge for the way in which the federalist treated him. Though he had a chance to kill some he did not because of his faith in Gods timing and will. As the novel continues, we see that he is not sure why he is still fighting since his men are doing

On December 23, 1897, Sarah Breedlove who is now known as Madam CJ Walker, was born on a delta on a Louisiana Plantation where her parents, Owen and Minerva Anderson Breedlove worked and were enslaved prior to the civil war. Although she was the first child of her siblings to be born after the abolition of slavery, she faced just as many hard times. Walker was however able to renovate herself from an illiterate laundress and farm girl to a highly successful business women. By doing so she beat all
is General Francisco “Pancho” Villa. To understand Pancho Villa’s significant role during this uprising it is important to understand who Villa was prior to the revolution, and what acts lead to his rise to power. Francisco “Pancho” Villa (born Doroteo Arango on June 5th, 1878) was known as a bandit prior to his life as a Mexican General. Villa was born to sharecropper parents on a hacienda in San Juan Del Rio, Durango, Mexico. After the death of his father, Villa only in his teens became the head
Mexicans opened the twentieth century with the most drastic action that citizens can take against their government: revolution. The open rebellion against the military dictator Porfirio Díaz began in 1910 and led to ten years of violent and destructive warfare within Mexico. When the fighting finally ended, many Mexicans were disillusioned about the revolution as the small political and economic changes that were finally implemented was not worth the senseless violence that wracked Mexico.

symbolizes the fuel of the Mexican Revolution. Heroes like Demetrio Macias brought the Serrano’s hope of giving them what they felt they truly deserved. Although Demetrio Macias, the general (colonel) of a rebel army is hunting down the army of Pancho Villa, he seems to have the same ideals as the enemy. In addition to Demetrio Macias, we meet women like Camilla and War Paint who represent the different roles that women played during the Mexican Revolution. The character of Demetrio Macias proves to

After that, he escaped and he became a bandit. While Pancho Villa was living as a fugitive
vividly bring out the words within The Underdogs into life, in a surreal form. Virtue is held, where the characters are lifelike and where struggle and excitement are blended together. Most importantly, Azuela served as a military doctor under Pancho VIlla ranks. This gave the insight needed to see into the eyes of a soldier pushed into the revolution, from Demetrio Macias, to Blondie, and even Camila. Abandoning his family was the fuel to the fire that set Demetrio Macias against Huerta’s forces, and
