Tourist Day

On March 28 I had the role of being a tourist in the town of Fajardo. I found the task of going to fajardo hotel INC. I had never been to the place, for this reason I missed to get, but google map then helped me find the right location. When I enter to the hotel parking lot I did not know if it was for visitors or were for employees. I was confused and no one was around to ask. I parked there and the family of my girlfriend got me. First the hotel staff greeted me and informed me that I had to pay ten dollars if I just use the pool and would not stay. After paying the money the staff took me to the pool area and I was there all day enjoying it. I could see that they had very little staff. The hotel is not so big, so it must be the reason for having understaffed. But anyway I felt good; I had a nice time with the family of my girlfriend. . Puerto Ricans have similar characteristics in our physical and we can recognize if you're from Puerto Rico. For this reason the treatment of us will be different, because the staff recognizes if you are from Puerto Rico. But then came a group of US tourist, and to them was provided a tour guide who took them and gave him walk through all areas of the hotel. They did not do that. It can be concluded that it was for the reason that I was only going to go to the pool and the family of my girlfriends was already in the hotel and knew the area, however, the other tourists had no family and did not recognize any part of hotel. For this reason, I can deduce that if I had gone alone to the hotel they had given me the same treatment as other tourists. I had been guided by all the facilities and guided me about the hotel and tourist areas near it.

The relationship between Puerto Rico and United States

Antigua represents what is Puerto Rico relative to the United States. The Americans colonized Puerto Rico in 1898. This has benefits and has disadvantages. Many people have agreed to this while others are not. The fact that the US has cast owner of different islands in the Caribbean reflects that they had much power long years ago. Not only money power, but also the power to threaten. When they invaded Puerto Rico, the weapons of the Indians were not going to overcome them. I do not agree with their invasion. I think that each territory can have the power to develop and have a competent world economy.

America has brought benefits to the island, but they give to receive something in return. I would not say that the United States has brought us tourism because it is not. If we were independent, we were also tourism. It may not be as accessible as it is today, but remained tourism. The people like to travel and see new places and Puerto Rico is a very beautiful place for tourists.

In the case of comparing old with Puerto Rico, there are some differences. In the text read, mentioned that tourists felt afraid when traveling in taxis because they did not know how that person would react. Puerto Rico is totally Americanized. Many puertorriccan has been influenced by the cultured of the united states.I am not saying that we are equal, because both cultures have their origins and even though this island has been Americanized, we still have the African culture in our blood. Anyway, I have been never agreed that a country will owns another country, but that is the situation we live. I am not against the American people, but with the system implanted in our island. They have much power to control whatever. Finally, colonial and former military situation of Antigua is very similar to Puerto Rico, just which Puerto Rico already looks like a US state.

Literay Context Award Ceremony

The literary contest activity was very organized. It began with an introduction talking about how to improve as a writer and develop to writing habit. For me it was pleasant to see all participants who won with much joy, and to those who participated. However, what most caught my attention was the girl convicted that allow her participate and express her thoughts. Was incredible listening her talking about the reality of the jail administrator. She also felt grateful for the opportunity they gave to participate in the literary contest. . I think it was a contest of integration and see the mindset of our generation.
