Analysis Of The Forgotten Victim From Florence And Normandie By Steve Lopez

537 Words3 Pages

The reading " The forgotten victim from Florence and Normandie " written by Steve Lopez has good points being said that, I agree with them . The main points I connect with was made by Fidel Lopez is and how he was unfortunate to be brutally beat in the L.A. Riots but he encouraged his family to move forward to better . Fidel Lopez's idea that nobody should be treated differently by how they appear is meaningful to me because everybody isn't always accepted equally. He didn't want the leader of the L.A. Riots to be punished too harsh because he grew from the experience he got. This shows that Fidel stood strong from the attack and while telling his story over to Steve Lopez. Although he was a victim he didn't ask for help but people were still giving their support by doing fundraisers for his family. Steve Lopez did a good job portraying the victim's family position after the attack. He reminds me of today's society of people being brutally beat for supporting black lives.

It's all about being humble and not being a victim to take action for better. Also , going back to when Fidel was being beaten it is not correct for anybody to do that to someone and police officers not to help the people. That still is been going on today of injustice to many people because police officers aren't doing there job . In the news you hear that police officers are beating people as well which shouldn't be done . If in Fidel time it wasn't correct now it's worse and what's to come of the future. It's good how Steve wrote about the attack in Fidel perspective. It helps see people you can make the

Though born to two Spanish parents, Martí never waivered in his identity as a son of Cuba, and he would spend—and eventually give—his life fighting for the cause of Cuban independence.
