Comment on Angela's Post

Nice blog Angela! I enjoyed reading your blog and relating the economic similarities of the past and present. I mean we are learning about how modern Latin America came to be! Anyways, I looked at your article and thought of the questions you asked within your blog. I wonder the same things too. It's just interesting to look back and think of how these laws that you mentioned played out, and how many reacted. You also brought up something I did not think of. You discussed their wealth being used by foreign countries instead of themselves. However, I do wonder if this was because their debts that they owe many countries. All in all this was a good blog, and I enjoyed reading it!

Comment on Brianne's Post

Brianne, I really enjoyed your post this week. I totally agree with your idea that there is languages within the different ruins and historical places seen and visited. I enjoyed the poem by Gioconda Belli as well. Comparing it to Pablo Neruda's this last class made me realize how important these ruins are to people and how they mean and say so much. I too have felt a sense of memories through unspoken things, and it as powerful as, maybe even more powerful, things that we have heard and remember through spoken occurrences. Also, its often an unknown language to people who weren't there when the historical places were cities instead of ruins, but not knowing helps us question and try to understand the past which makes it that much more beautiful! Nice relation with Pablo Neruda! Nice post too! Good luck with the rest of the semester!

Nice post and video AJ! I too enjoyed the trip to Chicago. I was also really fascinated with how many connections we were able to make with the artwork at the museums. Although, I am not one that usually is able to understand art, being able to relate things that we learned in this class with the artwork made it a whole lot easier to understand it. Understanding the history and story behind the artwork also made it much more beautiful! I also favored the Mexican art museum too! However, I liked a few artworks, so I cannot say I had a favorite. Some of my favorite art pieces were from the Cuban art museum too. I enjoyed reading your post this week and watching your video!
