This video connects to the chapter because it represents how the students walked out to fight for their rights. It also connects to the chapter because the students were abused from the cops like in chapter 3. This chapter represents our chicano culture as educated people. They knew what they were doing.
I liked this chapter because the students were very brave and never gave up.
I will remember this chapter because I feel very proud of being chicana when i read about the students walking out to fight for their rights. I will also remember that we as chicanos have to get educated to fight for our rights and dreams.
As the epitome of Chicano revolutionary literature, this novel is a disgrace. As a symbol for every Chicano, this novel is anything but inspirational. A doped up law-breaking minority sexual abusing lawyer is leading the front of the Chicano revolution against the pigs and gabachos that hold every Mexican down . . . in America.
The struggles for equal rights seem to be well documented as to the true monumental figures for Chicano Rights Movement, with a few scenes containing Cesar Chavez and Corky Gonzales. Oscar Zeta Acosta, or “Buffalo”, in comparison, is a revolutionary anarchist. He seems to have no focus in his movements, but does what others tell him. His friendly revolutionaries want him to represent Robert Fernandez, and he does. That sets into motion a series of events that lead him to the questioning of every judge in the court. His argumentation in court is recorded laughably, and his case, if represented correctly, is laughable as well. He continuously badgers not only his witnesses, but the judge and opposing counsel as well. I personally don’t know how he ever made it past the bar test.
However, these are forgivable offenses. Sure, he doesn’t take anything seriously, has little real fear of getting caught by the law, the law which he himself is a representative of. He carries guns illegally in his home and houses fellow anarchists that have done several illegal acts. However, there are two influences in the novel which cannot be overlooked. The fist one is the apparent sexist theme. There is no major female character in this novel that is not somehow projected as sexually motivated. Secondly, the sexual abuse of two young related teenagers.
I found this blog by Browne Molyneux in laeastside.com
Browne writes about politics, transportation, economics,feminist, culture, working class urban class, media and art.
Works as an artist and a radical feminist.
I like this blog because it talks about how the U.S. is using the test scores to see how many beds they should be creating for prisoners. I think that racist because not everyone that have a good score in the test might end up being a good person maybe some of those might end up in jail.
This relates to many chapters of the books were "white" people looked down at Chicano specially Acosta because he was a lawyer but he was Chicano.
This connects to the chapter because of the walkouts going on for a better education. How Chicano students just walkout of classrooms and protest for their rights for a better education system.
I liked the chapter because it shows that theses studetns weren't afraid to stand up for their rights. Even the little kids were standing up fir their rights to a better education. I will remember a quote i a picket sign that was use in the walkouts because its telling others not to gibve up and that one day Chicano will be anything they want to be in life.
I found this blog written by Browne Molyneux in LA Eastside. Browne Molyneux writes about transportation, politics, dark green issues, economics,race relations, feminism, culture, working class urban life, media, art, Los Angeles and literature. She works as an artist and is a radical feminist. She likes to blog, she is a freelance writter and writes columns.
The reason I liked her blog was because it reminds me of how Acosta was being treated bad by the law enforcements. The cops were not only treating Acosta bad but other Chicanos because the police and other law enforcements saw them as inferior. Chicanos had a poor education because they were not getting the support from the educators. Browne says that in America test scores are very important and if you do not score well, then you might end up homeless or crime. I agree with her but believe that this is not fair for those who do not score well because one is seeing the other factors that have contributed for the students to get those test scores.
I got the picture from this blog named "Anal cancer survivor seeks someone in same boat" I think this blog somewhat related to the chapter in the part were Brown is heading to the Blakc juror ladies house, were he notices that the place is similar to theres.
I like this blog because it relates how both sides (in this case black and brown) are having or have had the same problems, the poeple in watts had already gone through similar things and now it was the brown people.
What ill remember about the chapter is the information that she gave brown on the juror that sat next to her, how she was being informed (or was acting on her own infitrating as a juror) to be able to mess with the jurors opinions on the case. Im not surprised that people would go to these lengths to keep certain people or events from acting out.
