For this cultural report, I will be talking about my experience when I visited a significant and historical architectural site. On July 21st, I visited the Castillo San Felipe del Morro, or “El Morro” in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The fort was attacked by the English and Dutch in the 1590s, and suffered significant damage from the U.S. Navy during the Spanish-American war, where the lighthouse

We The Animals, by Justin Torres, is the perfect example of such a novel. There were endless messages linked throughout the novel linking story lines to one another from beginning to end. However, it is not as easy, ad the reader, to such details because
III. Structure Structure in Beat Poetry Beat poetry often took on a free verse structure and rarely followed the norm of stanzas and couplets that much of western poetry did. Ginsberg often wrote in a manner that seemed to mimic a conversation or the fashion in which someone speaks.

books plot is at the beginning of the story on page three when Felipe reads an advertisement in a newspaper that was addressed to him and nobody else. The magical element that was added was that an advertisement in a newspaper was addressed for only one person, but it doesn’t make the rest of the story unbelievable. It is subtle magical elements like this that embody magical realism. Another example of magical realism is on page 91 when Felipe watches Aura hurting a child and walks into the other room
Both Aura and the La Llorona stories based their stories around beautiful Mexican women who are tricksters. Aura seduces Felipe Montero and tricks him into falling love with her/Consuelo.

Normally, she would barrage him with questions and conversation, but today she is silent.

The story ends as they exchange “I love you.” This story is a very important
Eat, Pray and Love by Elizabeth Gilbert Eat Pray and Love is a really good book written by Elizabeth Gilbert. Years after the book was published the movie was made.

This happens because a movie has to tell the entire story in a certain period of time, in this case 145 minutes. So a lot of small details from the book have to be cut. Also
