1. Introducción

El tema a tratar en este trabajo es acerca de la novela escrita por Enrique Serna; El seductor de la patria. En primer lugar se hablará acerca de Santa Anna en México, ya que esta novela es una novela histórica basada en la vida de Antonio López de Santa Anna. Posteriormente, nos enfocaremos un poco en Enrique Serna, en cómo su ideología o su estilo influyeron para la realización de esta novela histórica y de igual forma, habrá una pequeña sinopsis del libro. Finalmente, mi perspectiva antes y después de la lectura y si de alguna manera cambió, o no, mi perspectiva acerca de aquella época o el gobierno de ese presidente, después de haber leído el libro.

2. Desarrollo

2.1 ¿Qué impacto tuvo Santa Anna en México?

En 1831 Antonio López Santa Anna se unió con otras personas para rebelarse en contra del gobierno, dos años después ganó las elecciones para presidentes, sin embargo, él tenía muchas ideas conservadoras.

Considero que el impacto más grande que tuvo Santa Anna en México fue que en 1835 en Texas empezó una rebelión ya que los texanos proclamaban su independencia. Más tarde en 1836 la batalla de San Jacinto tomó lugar. Santa Anna, en ese entonces presidente de México, tomó El Alamo pero fue derrotado y capturado por el ejercito texano. Había muchos texanos que querían linchar a Santa Anna pero el soldado estadounidense, Samuel Houston, tuvo la idea de que como Santa Anna era el presidente de México era mejor quitarle algunas concesiones útiles; el estado de Texas. Cuando fue liberado regreso a su estado natal, Veracruz. Ningún mexicano lo apoyaba ya por lo sucedido. Tiempo después, en 1838 ocurrió la guerra de los pasteles en la cual los franceses exigían que se les pagara su deuda y tomaron Veracruz. Sant...

...mica en la que vivimos actualmente como país, por lo cual considero que no es culpa de un solo presidente, ya sea del sexenio presente, del pasado o del antepasado, creo que el problema viene de más atrás y sobre todo que la sociedad influye mucho en cualquiera que sea la situación que se presente.

Disfruté este trabajo porque me dio la oportunidad de aprender cosas nuevas y datos acerca de una época la cual considero que marcó mucho a nuestro país y además la pude aprender de una forma que me entretuvo y me llamo la atención.

  • Why Was Santa Anna Taken To America

    670 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many factors led to the Texicans’ decision to declare their independence. The declaration was due to a lack of tolerance for religion, the repealing of the constitution of 1824, an unstable government with an unstable president, and the closure of the Mexican legislature, a congress of nine declared Texas independent from Mexico, followed by a formal declaration on March 2, 1836. After the declaration, General Samuel Houston was appointed commander-in-chief for the Texican government. Immediately after the declaration, hostilities between Mexico and Texas began. Santa Anna sent back up to Texas, but the Texicans fought them off with bows and spears (Mckeehan). Santa Anna’s first mistake was his decision to go to Texas with 10,000 men behind him with no intention of mercy.

  • The Storm That Swept Mexico Summary

    432 Words  | 1 Pages

    This documentary called “The Storm that Swept Mexico”, talks about one of the most important events in Mexican history which was the Mexican revolution which started on 1910 and lasted for about 10 years. At first this video starts talking about how Mexico lost a major part of their land in Mexican American war. The states that Mexico lost were Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and California in 1848, by president Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Moreover, another war mentioned was the one Mexico had against France called “Battle of Puebla”. After this atrocious war Mexico had 20 years of peace until the Mexican revolution in 1910 took place. This very interesting video dragged my attention due to the fact that it explains precisely every important figure that was involved in such a big movement. Furthermore, in this fascinating video I learned a lot of interesting facts about Porfirio Diaz. For example, he is the president that lasted 30 years in power, and was the president number thirty to rule Mexico. Another interesting fact about this iconic figure is that his period as Mexican president was called the “Porfiriato”

  • The Alamo Research Paper Outline

    Flores is a Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the College of Liberal Arts and a Professor of Anthropology and Mexican American Studies at the University of Texas. Flores says that one of the reasons Texans wanted to gain its independence from Mexico was because of the government Santa Anna had. Texans and anyone going against Santa Anna wanted Mexico to go back to a federalist republic they did not want a centralist government. Stephen F. Austin proposed the idea of making Texas an independent Mexican state that had control of its own affairs to Santa Anna, but he refused the idea which then added on to the Texans desires to become independent. The tension grew between the Texans and the Mexican government when Santa Anna got rid of the Mexican Constitution of 1824. Flores states that saying the Battle of the Alamo was a battle between Texans and Mexicans is wrong. The “Texans” in fact were not truly Texans, only thirteen native-born Texans fought in the Battle of the Alamo (eleven of those were of Mexican descent), the rest were Europeans, Jews, African Americans, United States Americans and Mexicans. Flores discusses the severe effects of the Texas Modern on the Mexicans. He says that most Mexicans were unemployed, lived in poverty, and had little access to public institutions. He also says the Mexicans were maintained by

  • Essay On Autodemolicion

    El texto se puedo relacionar con el poema “Hombre pequeñito” porque compara el papel de una mujer con un canario encarcelado en una jaula. Al principio el canario quiere volar y saltar de la jaula; la mujer es el canario. Luego en la línea donde dice “digo pequeñito porque no me entiendes”, el hombre no entiende a la mujer porque ella quiere volar y no quiere estar enjaulada. Al final la mujer nomas ama el hombre durante media hora y nada más. El poema no tiene una rima específica, pero usa la anáfora de “hombre pequeñito” al principio de los versos. El poema también es una metáfora de la relación entre una mujer y un hombre, pero el hombre no sabe cómo tratarla. Este poema es muy feminista porque el hombre se llama pequeñito y se ve como un tonto, que nunca entenderá a la mujer. La autora Storni básicamente se burla del hombre.

  • Texas Becoming a State

    Now, the Mexican Revolution was just a small beginning for the eventual state of Texas. Back in 1809, Texas was just a provenance in the Spanish Empire and its inhabitants were mostly converted Native Americans and people of Spanish descent, but not native born of Spain. The Spanish born people had more rights and were, according to the law, superior to all others. This and more oppression by the Spanish against the Mexicans (i.e. the Native Americans and non-Spanish born), caused an uprising by the common people that was started by a Catholic priest in 1809. It would take 16 more years before Mexico had won its independence from Spain like the US had from Great Britain.

  • Tensions Rise between U.S and Mexico

    The huge dispute about immigration and slavery in 1820’s at Texas foreshadowed an upcoming war between U.S and Mexico. In the beginning the Mexican government allowed American immigration to Texas. They also turned the other way when Americans brought slaves in order to help grow cotton. But when tension grew the Mexican government prohibited slavery, raised taxes, and stopped American immigration. Because Americans thought it was the United States’ manifest destiny to expand west they decided to venture across Texas anyway, resulting in a fight at the Alamo which led to a lot of Texans dying. When Sam Huston and his newly trained army defeated Santa Anna’s army in 18 minutes and captured Santa Anna, they forced him to sign over Texas in exchange for his life. Only to have the compromise disregarded by the Mexican government.

    La autora Puertoriqueña Rosario Ferré sin duda pertence a ese grupo the escritores que critícan la sociedad en la que les tocó vivír en sus creaciónes literárias. Ferré nació en Ponce, Puerto Rico la ciudad mas grande y poderosa del sur de la isla. Su familia es una de las mas importante economicamente y politicamente poderosa. Su padre fue gobernador de la isla durante los años del 1968 al 1972. Como todas las mujeres en esa época se casó y comenzó una familia, destinada a una vida como dama elegante y ociosa. Pero se dió cuenta que su vida pertenecía a la literatura. Ella rompió un taboo y molde cultural, que convertía a las mujeres de clase media alta, en muñecas. Esa generación de mujeres exigiendo cambios en la sociedad se encontraban en el medio de la revolución femenina. Cualquier mujer que quisiera cambiar su vida o trabajar era considerada extraña o loca. Esta opreción se convirtió en su inspiración. Ferré nos comunica a travez de esta novela, la realidad de la mujer puertoriqueña a mediados de siglo. En La Bella Durmiente, Rosario Ferré muestra la mujer como sujeto y objeto. Esta obra es un manisfiesto de los derechos de la mujer y del inconformismo femenino que eventualmente lleva a la mujer a rechazar la realidad. Analizare y demonstrare por medio de este ensayo, los papeles que le toca jugar (a la mujer) en esta sociedad, la corrupcion moral y social que le rodea y su reacción ante todo esto resultando en un trágico final.
