The first article I have chosen is, “Juncture in the road: Chicano Studies Since: “El plan de Santa Barbara” by Ignacio M. Garcia. I have chosen this particular article for various reasons. One is because reading the first few paragraphs of the article stirred up many emotions within me. I found myself growing angry and once, again, repulsed by the United States discrimination system. The more knowledge I obtain on the United States, on its past and how it develops today, I can finally say that I

In this last event, he was gored by the bull, and eventually died of gangrene from his injures.

The main theme in Lorca’s Lament for Ignacio Sanchez Mejias and Paz’s Central Park is death, something that has always been a major topic of literature. The difference comes in the many interpretations of death.
