The props, characters, and scenery were all specifically chosen to build a “ranchero” theme. Props ranging from the sombreros they wore, to Spanish guitars, and even ponchos added to the film’s Mexican origins. However, there was one prop, which served as a motif and kept reappearing, cerveza, better known to us as: beer.
While there was many Mexican settlements in Texas especially and the majority of the population was Latin, it was not until 1710 when they claimed it. At this time the civil rights of Mexicans or Latinos was considered normal due to the fact that the majority in Texas were Latino. However there was a discrimination between the creoles and and Mestizos. It was around this time and point that while they were not as discriminated and treated pretty well by the civil rights of Texas that their was internal issues.

It also “features a memorable second movement that combines the concept of variations with a simple three-part, or ternary, structure that can be diagrammed as A-B-A.” (145).

The Philippines has always had a rich musical history. It takes its roots from the indigenous tribes of the Philippines, who used it as a way to pass on epics and stories about gods and heroes, a way to celebrate good harvests, festivals, weddings and births, a way to mourn the dead, to court women, and a way to praise the gods. This music was then enriched by the Philippines’ western colonizers. The Spaniards imparted the zarzuela (called sarswela in the Philippines) and the rondalla, adding more Spanish touches to Filipino folk songs. The Americans, on the other hand, influenced the Philippine music scene by introducing pop and rock, eventually leading to the creation of “Pinoy pop”, which included a wide variety of forms like dance tunes, ballads, rock n’ roll, disco, jazz, and rap.

The article “The making of a Mexican American Dream” mentions that Americans have this notions that immigrants ultimately need to assimilate in order to fit the mold of the “American dream”. Sarah Menkedick, the author of this article, cites Milton Gordon ’s book, Assimilation in American life: The Role of Race, Religion and National Origins, to offer an example of this idea and how immigrants are expected to adapt to the American way of life. Mekedick states, “according to Gordon, assimilation depended first upon acculturation: the immigrant group’s willingness and ability to learn English, and to adopt white, Protestant, Anglo-Saxon, middle-class customs, after which point its members would ultimately identify with and marry into the dominant
What people label us is not always what we are and it could be rather offensive at times when people label us because of one’s looks or background. For instance, if I we’re to be asked “what are you?” In my head I would think to myself “I’m a girl, a breathing thing living on Earth.” but of course the one asking might not be awaiting such answer. I would simply say I am Mexican-American, Hispanic-American, or Latina.
