Jose Doroteo Arango Arambula also known as Francisco Villa or as we know him Pancho Villa was born June 5, 1878 and was one of the most important Mexican Revolutionary general in Mexico. Pancho Villa was born Doroteo Arango, the son of a sharecropper at the hacienda in San Juan Del Rio, Durango. While growing up, Pancho Villa witnessed and experienced the harshness of peasant life. In Mexico during the late 19th century, the rich were becoming richer by taking advantage of the lower classes, often treating them like slaves. When Villa was 15, his father died, so Villa began to work as a sharecropper to help support his mother and four siblings.

As Albert J. Beveridge pointed out in Document B, “would not the people of the Philippines prefer the just, human, civilizing government of this republic to the savage, bloody rule… from which we have saved them?” Just, human, civilizing?

He played to his strengths by encompassing many aspects of La Guardia’s time growing up, especially his personality. Jeffers’ captures La Guardia’s personality earlier in the book by utilizing quotes from other people to describe him. For example, writer Fannie Hurst remembered La Guardia’s “magnificent unrest coupled with a desire to be a leader on his own terms” (pg. 38). Jeffers’ also made sure to include La Guardia’s formative influences as a youth; in this way, it would be clear why the tenacious little man acted the way he did. Jeffers engages in little “biographies” of people like Bucky O’Neill and Theodore Roosevelt and described their efforts that led to a young Fiorello to look on in awe.

Damien Chazelle’s American musical film, La La Land (2016), with Director of Photography Linus Sandgren, won about six awards at the Oscars. One of the awards they received is in the Cinematography category. I personally agree with this voting because this beautifully-made film shows, not tells, the story. In the beginning of the film, the viewers see the story from Mia’s point of view, but the story later goes back and switches to Sebastian’s point of view.
