In Pocho, Rubio could not identify with any group because he didn’t want to be categorized. In fact, Rubio didn’t have a hard time fitting in with the Pachucos or queers. Although, Rubio seemed understanding about other peoples chooses he ultimately decided to identify as American. This was seen when Rubio joined the Army, as a means to escape his reality. Another theme presented was in regards to fighting social inequalities. This ultimately led to Chicano protest, which became essential to the Civil Rights Movements. The strong will of these Chicano/a activists were similar to Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzalez and his “Crusade for Justice”. The film “Quest for Homeland” acknowledged Gonzalez as an important figure for the Chicano Movement because he inspired people to demand for equality. Even though the Chicano Movement had a tragic ending with the death of Ruben Salazar, Chicanos made their voices heard. Similarly, the Chicano walkouts were the beginning of “consciousness”. For instance Castro mentions, “Chicano’s have long been sleeping giants” he continues by stating looks like we woke up”. This shows that students living in these areas were oblivious to their ability of obtaining a higher

Born as Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, Mr. Guzman soon became known as the infamous “El Chapo Guzmán” due to his height of five feet and six inches. With very little information regarding a birth date, he was questionably born on December 25th 1954, or April 4th 1957. Joaquín was born into a poor family located in a rural community known as La tuna de Badiraguato, Sinaloa, Mexico. However, many generations of his family lived and died in La Tuna. It is recognized that his father was a cattle rancher, but some sources argue that he may have also been a gomero, which is a Sinaloan word for an opium poppy farmer.
He was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, the son of Eleanor and Pedro Olmos, who was a welder and mail carrier. His father was a Mexican immigrant who moved to California in 1945 and his mother was Mexican American too. His parents split up when he was 7 years old, and he was primarily raised by his great-grandparents as his parents worked. He grew up wanting to be a professional baseball player, and at age 13 joined the Los Angeles Dodgers' farm system, playing as a catcher. He left baseball at age 15 to join a rock and roll band. In the late 1960s and the early 1970s, Olmos branched out from music into acting, appearing in many small productions, until his big break portraying the narrator, called "El Pachuco," in the play Zoot Suit, which dramatized the World War II-era rioting in California brought about by the tensions between Mexican-Americans and local police. He and this play relate to what we have discussed in class because we learned the different forms people express the Mexican American culture and he is a great actor who does an excellent job in expressing
The Pueblo Revolt was a battle fought against the Spaniards and Indians in 1690. The revolt killed nearly 400 Spaniards and sent 2,000 settlers out of New Mexico for twelve years. After the twelve years, the Spanish decided to reoccupy New Mexico with little opposition. The reason Spain invaded the pueblo villages was because in 1539, a man by the name of Fray Marcos de Niza, went out on an expedition to a native country. On his expedition he claimed that this native country provided wealth and gold. Fray Marcos de Niza reported back to Spain of his discovery of gold. The Spaniards then believed that there were seven cities of gold. Unfortunately, the Spaniards were mistaken because the native country had little or no wealth at all and there

In the third grade, El Chapo drops out of school and originated his own marijuana plantation with four aloof cousins. "At home, he is often beaten by his father, protects his sisters from being beaten and receives emotional support from his mother." (Halls, n.p.). In addition to the tedious maltreat towards Chapo, " Eventually his father kicks him out of his house, so he goes to live with his grandfather." (Halls, n.p.). Soon after the circumstances get atrocious, Joaquin vamooses from La Tuna in forage for congenial crime opportunities.

Chapo soon becomes the Sinaloa cartel monarch, overt as the worlds
In Mexican Cinema, some of the biggest stars provide their popular personas within their characters on the screen, especially in the golden age. Stars outside Mexico also did have a similar approach, such as Charlie Chaplin, but the Mexican stars provide characteristics and performances that distinguished from the rest of the characters to provide a deeper context of the class system. Such Mexican character types include charro, pachuco, pelado, and malinche, and each may contain different type of performances from actors, but still altogether display the state of Mexican society. Mario Moreno plays a pelado character named Cantinflas who is part of the lower class in Mexican society, and uses verbal humor to satirize social norms. Ninon Sevilla
