There are many people in the world that have made a difference. Every person alive, that has been alive, and will be born, will have an effect on the world in one way or another. Two people that have affected the world are Mahatma Gandhi, an Indian antiwar activist, and Chris McCandless, from the true novel Into the Wild. These two may have affected the world differently, but when their actions and stories are put together, a whole is created.
“You have to take what you can get when you’re getting started,” Selena Quintanilla. Born on April 16, 1971, a prodigy was brought into this world. Selena was born into the music industry. Her father Abraham Quintanilla was a part of a band when he was young, and strongly wanted his children to be musicians. She was a great singer who connected with all of her fans everywhere she traveled.
It can be argued that from the start the film Selena gives the audience the wrong impression that Selena reached the pinnacle of her career when she successfully obtained an English- language crossover status. That is because the film opens with a scene of Selena singing in English to a sold-out concert at the Houston Astrodome which is meant to show “Selena’s career pinnacle” (Vargas 2006). Thus, the viewer’s initial impression of Selena is that Selena became successful only once she succeeded in the American music industry. However, if one were to look at the story of Selena from when she first debuted as a singer one would be able to see that is the not the case.
Selena Quintanilla was a very successful “Tex-Mex” singer, who, from the beginning of her life to the end of it, had an extraordinary life. After one time of singing to her father, a band was created and she was put into the singing world. Since that day, many journeys occurred. She has performed in many places like Mexico and Texas. She even got married and won a Grammy.
All of her albums sold out in large numbers, making Selena successful with her music. I look up to Selena Quintanilla-Perez as my role model. It took a lot of hard work and courage for her to become a successful Mexican-American artist. As a Mexican-American woman, she broke barriers and made recording history with her music. She changed Latino music by combining different genres in her music to connect with other cultures besides her own.

When thinking of a historical figure, many imagine a president, king, or general that lead a country to greatness, but never realized some could be the ones who influence the minds of society. Although not thought of as anything, writers and poets hold the key to shaping the society’s mindset without even knowing it. Being a civil rights activist, social activist, and role model for women makes Maya Angelou a historical figure who has made a huge impact in American society and in American history. Born poor and black, she was a childhood victim of rape, shamed into silence. She was a young single mother who had to work at strip clubs for a living.
Tejano music seemed to be in a hiatus in the WWII years, since there was little interest and little resources. After the war, however, the interest reignited focusing on female duets and orquesta tejana genres. The main sponsors of these musical revival were Paco Betancourt and Armando Marroquin, who founded Discos Ideal in 1947. In the post war years, Mexican American music needed a push and jukeboxes were a great tool to provide everyone with the chance to listen to some good songs.
She also opened up many doors for women and black people. Billie Holiday will always be an important person in everyone’s history and will be remembered eternally.
Courage is an ideal created in one’s mind that can only be gained through self-acceptance. Courage can be a trait others see, however the question is wether or not on sees it in oneself. Stephen Crane’s artfully crafted novel, The Red Badge of Courage, depicts this inner conflict through a young solider in search of glory on the battlefield, Henry Fleming. Set during the Battle of Chancellorsville (1863), the raging Civil War provides the perfect backdrop for the novel. Stephen Crane published The Red Badge of Courage in October 1895 and masterfully portrayed his ‘Youths’ internal struggle.
