Introducción
Un tema popular en la literatura argentina moderna es el papel del gaucho. Hoy, el concepto del gaucho recuerda la imagen de un vaquero valiente, pero esto no siempre ha sido el caso. De hecho, varios autores han explorado la evolución del gaucho con sus trabajos, concentrándose en el gaucho en períodos de tiempo diferentes en todas partes de la historia.
El Gaucho de Sarmiento
Según Sarmiento, muchos de los problemas de Argentina fueron causados por los gauchos rebeldes. Los gauchos eran bárbaros, incultos, ignorante y arrogante. Su mal comportamiento y actitud vigilante impidieron la sociedad Argentina de avanzar hacia un civilización moderno. Sarmiento describe cuatro tipos diferentes de los gauchos.
Primero, El Rastreador es el más respetado y extraordinario de todos los gauchos. Él es el busceador. Es su responsabilidad para seguir el rastro de un animal, para distinguir las huellas de un animal de miles de otros, para saber si el animal está suelto o está viajando con un jinete. Según el texto, “el rastreador es un personaje grave, circunspecto, cuyas aseveraciones hacen fe en los tribunales inferiores. La conciencia del saber que posee, le da cierta dignidad reservada y misteriosa) ya” (249). Si están tratando de encontrar a alguien, un rastreador puede ayudarle.
En segundo lugar, Sarmiento se discute el papel de El Baquiano. El baquiano es una especie de guía. Él sabe la disposición de la tierra, el agua, los caminos y los bosques mejor que nadie. “El baquiano va siempre a su lado. Modesto y reservado como una tapia; está en todos los secretos de la campaña; la suerte del ejército, el éxito de una batalla, la conquista de una provincia, todo depende de él” (249). Como parte del ejército, es la mano derecha d...

...gaucho como “chusma” por sus conductas crudos. En una escena en esta historia, los gauchos castigan el unitario por no llevar la banda de luto en el brazo tras la muerte de la esposa del dictador. Sus castigos incluyen castración y sodomía. Los gauchos ponen a llevar estos castigos sin dudarlo un instante, pero a usted y yo, esto parece tremendamente preocupante.
Conclusión
El papel del gaucho, es evidentemente muy importante de historia argentina. Representan un fuerte espíritu nacionalista en un país que ha tenido que luchar incansablemente por su libertad. En un principio, se las considera como brutal criaturas, no como seres humanos. Con el tiempo, evolucionó hasta convertirse en bandidos y, finalmente, son vistos como luchadores por la libertad. Hoy en día, vemos que el gaucho como el vaquero Argentino. Él representa valentía, honor, y a la autosuficiencia.

This book was written by Machado de Assis in 1908, the same year as the death of the author. Aires Memorial is considered an autobiographical work. It notes a relationship between the novel and the old age of the writer. Without presenting a single plot, the story is divided into several entries from a diary of sorts, featuring anecdotes and episodes that permeate throughout the chapters. The work has the theme amorous idylls and the futility of characters belonging to the Brazilian elite of the late nineteenth century. The author was the brilliant writer more exposed their subjective values, fleeing some of its most striking feature: the narrative exemption.
Alfredo Corchado — is the author of the book named " Midnight in Mexico:A Reporter's Journey through a Country's Descent into Darkness”. We are, probably, all interested in finding out the facts, news, and gossips about Mexico. This country was always associated with something mysterious. For me personally, the title of the book seemed to be very gripping, I was interested in revealing the secrets of life in Mexico, thus I decided to read this book.

it is unmistakable that life situations inspired Juan Rulfo to write this story. He like no other person had a greater understanding of how to portray the theme of family especially missing a father as a role model, death, survival and revenge. Moreover, through the use of local Mexican language it furthermore developed the society in which peasants had to live during the post-revolution. Additionally Juan Rulfo tries to add all five senses in the story forming magical realism and a vivid picture that the readers can understand. Overall, the readers learn a lot about peasant’s approach to life after revolution that the main drive was
El rasgo final es que como hay algo crónico en esta historia. Como del principio del accidente hasta el final cuando muere, hay mucha suspensión, pero dar cosas en listas que ayuda a los lectores.

Como entendemos los problemas interior y exterior con todas las imágenes, todo esta en una estructura que queda como un rompe cabeza. Todo esta organizado bien y fluye las historia con la drama.
El Recado es un cuento de la esperanza y amor. La protagonista viene a visita Martin, pero el no esta en su casa. Entonces ella esperas en peldano, y esperanza que el aparece pronto. Esperanza es una palabra muy importante en el cuento. La palabra es usado directamente tres veces en la obra 26, 31, y 39. Tambien en el principio de el cuento todo es de un afecto sensual. Mientras ella esta en el peldano vea el jardin de Martin. Da caracteristicas humanos (personificacion) a los flores en el jardin ( 6-7), estos caracteristicas como honesto y graves probablamente tambien de su amante. Luego ella hace una comparacion directa entre el y el jardin “Todo el jardin es solido, es como tu, tiene una reciedumbre que inspira confianza.” Este oracion no solamente tiene un simil, pero tambien ayuda en mostrando la comparacion a un mujer de un hombre. El hombre es personificado con palabras de fuerza, mientras todo el cuento muestra una mujer debil.
The film uses instances of flashback to reveal what happened in Argentina during 1970-1980s, as such most of what “El Secreto De Sus Ojos” (The Secret in Their Eyes). Depicts about that period in Argentina’s history is borrowed from memory. In this film, the influence of memory is captured through certain crucial events, characters as well as their imagination. Since these historical events are narrated from memory, they reflect the passage of time and as such underline the social political transition that this country has undergone.
The Andes had a legacy of resistance that was unseen in other Spanish occupied place during the colonial period. There were rebellions of various kinds as a continued resistance to conquest. In the “Letters of Insurrection”, an anthology of letters written amongst the indigenous Andean people, between January and March 1781 in what is now known as Bolivia, a statement is made about the power of community-based rebellion. The Letters of Insurrection displays effects of colonization and how the “lesser-known” revolutionaries that lived in reducción towns played a role in weakening colonial powers and creating a place of identification for indigenous people.
In conclusion, through its plot, characterization, and rhetorical devices such as tone, George Washington Gomez is an anti-corrido. However, it must be said that perhaps in its purpose as an anti-corrido, the novel is a corrido. In telling the story of Guánlito, the anti-hero of the Mexicotexans, perhaps Paredes is singing the readers his own border ballad, an ironic, cautionary tale to the Chicanos to remember who they are and where they came from and to resist, always, as a corrido hero would.
Juan Domingo Perón is known as the greatest Argentinean politician of all time. However, he is also one of he most controversial. His tactics and alliances are often criticized as are the changes and developments he brought about in Argentina. The one thing that can be concluded by all is that this man led a very complex and important life.
When Camillo left the adolescent stage, he also left behind “his superstitions and his religious [which had both been inculcated by his mother]... “ he was content simply to deny everything” (Machado 128). What he discarded was the belief of the inconceivable and gained the knowledge to deny what he can identity as false. Camillo seemed to live in neutrality until he slowly brings himself to demise as he allows himself to live with his ego being manipulated by the id. The ego should have a harmonized id and superego but Camillo fails to maintain the balance. Villela and Rita had an immense emotional impact on Camillo’s ego when it was weaken from when “Camillo’s mother died, and in this catastrophe, for such it was, the other two showed themselves to be genuine friends of his” (Machado 129). The proximity of their friendship was good for comforting Camillo’s ego but his state of ...
Between the years of 1976 to 1983, the period known as the ‘Dirty War’ was in full force in Argentina. During this period, thousands of people mysteriously went missing, and are referred to now as the ‘Disappeared’. It is believed that many of the disappeared were taken by agents of the Argentine government, and perhaps tortured and killed before their bodies were disposed of in unmarked graves or rural areas. Whenever the female captives were pregnant, their children were stolen away right after giving birth, while they themselves remained detained. It is estimated that 500 young children and infants were given to families with close ties to the military to be raised. Within this essay I would like to touch on the brief history of the Dirty war and why the military felt it was necessary to take and kill thousands of Argentina’s, and also the devastating affects the disappeared, and stolen children are having on living relatives of those taken or killed. It is hard to imagine something like this happening in North America relatively recently. To wakeup and have members of your family missing, with no explanation, or to one day be told your parents are not biologically related is something Argentina’s had to deal with, and are continuing to face even today.
Pablo Neruda is from Chile and gives a voice to Latin America in his poetry (Bleiker 1129). “The United Fruit Co.,” the poem by Pablo Neruda that will be analyzed in this essay, is enriched with symbolism, metaphors, and allusions. These allusions have great emphasis to the Christian religion, but some allusions are used to evoke negative emotions towards the United States (Fernandez 1; Hawkins 42). Personification and imagery along with onomatopoeia and metonymy are also found in “The United Fruit Co.” Neruda’s use of these literary devices makes his messages of imperialism, Marxism, and consumerism understandable (Fernandez 4). In this essay each of these literary devices with its proper meaning will be further analyzed in the hope of achieving a more complex understanding of Neruda’s message.
La multiplicidad del cuento es un tema repetido. El narrador describe el cuento y usa una multitud de sucesos, palabras, ideas y personas repetidos. Durante del cuento, el hombre sueña de crear un hijo sin otro. La creación de un hijo representa la repetición del hombre y la continuación de vida. También, el hombre tiene dos planes para crear el hijo cuales involucran la supernatural y la realidad del mundo. Después de su primer intento creativo falla, él está frustrado y casi quita. Luego, él examina y modifica su método de crear y acude a la intervención de los dioses para intentar un mejoramiento de la creación: "Luego en la tarde, se purificó en las aguas del río, adoró los dioses planetarios, pronunció las sílabas lícitas de un nombre poderoso y durmió." Solamente los dos, El dio, Fuego, y el hombre, saben que el sueño va a estar un realidad a eso tiempo. Sin embargo, el narrador sabe que el resultado no sigue los dos planes de los personajes. La repetición de los planes, los personajes, la recreación de otra vida y la realidad de estos elementos por el narrador crea la ilusión de realidad para el hombre.
