Location Nº 1. EXT. GATTACA Location: MADRID EXT. Museo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (Alcobendas) The National Museum of Science and Technology has an extension of about 1500 m2.

For 118 years Puerto Rico has occupied a peculiar status within the U.S. Political system.

Since 2011 there has been a lot of controversy around Senate Bill 14 that requires voters to present a photo ID in Texas in order to exercise their right to vote. The bill was pass to reduce voter fraud. Some may argue that voter fraud is minimal in Texas, which is not even enough to make a big difference in elections. Or, they may posit that requiring a photo ID would discriminate against minorities and potentially run contrary to The Voting Rights Act. However, most things in Texas require

The period from 1876 to 1911 under president Porfirio Díaz is often seen as a critical factor in the build-up to the revolution. This essay will examine

“Mis hijas, hoy fue su ultimo dia de escuela. Esta noche nos tomaremos un avión hacia Los Estados Unidos.” boasted my mom as she heatedly threw some of our best clothes into a suitcase. It was a day like any other until I arrived home from school and my mom welcomed my sisters and I with the news that we were going to take a flight to the United States of America in a few hours. Even as I write about it, I once again feel the chills that raced through my body that day. Trembling, I looked at my

pude, entré yo en calor… Ven a mi cuarto, si quieres”. (130) After this both women get into Andrea’s bed. What Andrea fantasizes while comforting Gloria is in my opinion the most shocking image in this novel. “Me sentí hambrienta como nunca lo he estado. Allí …Algo así como una locura se posesionó de mi bestialidad al sentir tan cerca el latido de aquel cuello de Gloria, que hablaba y hablaba. Ganas de morder en la carne palpitante, masticar. Tragar la buena sangre tibia”. (132) Although this scene

From the arrival of colonial settlers to the current policy surrounding immigration, the impacts of immigration impact almost every facet of our country.

In life, people are to do what they want of their lives. And, by doing that, they fall into a process where they start being part of distinct social groups that are likely to change or guide their way of thinking. That is to say, even a person, being part of a general community, tends to relate with diverse micro-societies that share common similitudes: opinions; dress codes; religion; academic background, or even a way of talking (jargon). Thus, it is easy to say that everyone has belonged to something

Fado historian and scholar Rui Vieira Nery states that "the only reliable information on the history of Fado was orally transmitted and goes back to the 1820s and 1830s at best.

Although the origins are difficult to trace, today fado is commonly regarded as simply a

In June of 1980, the federal U.S. Immigration and Naturalization or INS agents rushed into a meat packing plant. Stalin heard the screams, but with all of the flurry of activity, he didn’t connect them. “Vamanos, FUE! Es la redada!” (“Let’s go, leave! It’s a raid!) When he figured out what was going on, it was too late. The agents had already blocked the exits. They took Stalin and seventy-five others. Stalin’s mother cried when Marci called her to tell her the bad news. She tried to console
