The Fascinating Revolution Heroes of the Mexican Revolution

A photograph from the Mexican Revolution may appear to be nothing more than a photograph, but the tale behind it is very astounding. The teacher showed us this photograph during the first seminar. After first seeing the photograph, my perception of “it’s just a photo” changed. “Ten Tragic Days,” an essential incident in the Mexican Revolution, has subverted my cognition.

Overthrowing the government by force is considered a revolution. When individuals use the word “force,” they are indicating that they are no longer able to solve the situation and that something has to be altered. Problems spark revolutions. In 1910, liberals and intellectuals began to oppose dictator Porfirio Diaz’s government. A fundamental reason for the revolution was Porfirio Diaz’s economic policies, the unequal distribution of land, profound economic inequality, and the lack of democratic institutions.

This film highlights the revolution’s major events and turning points. It begins by presenting the important revolutionary figures in this revolution, then discusses the dissatisfied peasants and factory employees, as well as Diaz’s abdication. Explore this fascinating revolution down below!

The Purse That Changed a Kid

The found poem above I took was from the 1st and 2nd pages of “Thank You, Ma’m” by Langston Hughes. The conflict of the article is man vs man conflict, it shows that the protagonist has a hard decision in his mind about whether he should run away from Ms. Jones or not. The story’s climax is when Ms. Jones lets go of Roger and give him a chance to run away, but he doesn’t. He wants to make it up to Ms. Jones and wants her to trust him, eventually, that did happen and that leads to the resolution of the story of how Mrs. Jones trusts him and gives Roger $10 for the shoes he wanted for a long time. The conflict could change to be a life-changing moment, and we see how Roger’s characteristic changed through out the passage. The story teaches the readers how people could be nice to others,  even if they did something wrong, bad people could still learn and change to become better people.
