...Camila Gadala-Maria Clases sociales Rosario Castellano autora mexicana de la colección de cuentos Balún-Canán en el año 1957, se caracteriza por presentarle a su público obras que muestran la opresión de los indígenas y como inician los movimientos de lucha por su libertad. “Un indio asesinado por fiel” gira entorno a las consecuencias de los conflictos causados por la existente división entre clases sociales. Este extracto le presenta al lector un claro conflicto racial en donde los indígenas son esclavizados y desean su libertad. El texto exhibe técnicas del movimiento literario denominado naturalismo al mostrar una cruel y dura realidad mediante descripciones vívidas de lo ocurrido, mas no pertenece al movimiento ya que este es de finales del siglo XIX. Aunque la obra se centra en el trauma del niño que narra los hechos, existe una fuerte crítica a la sociedad ya que esta es la responsable por establecer una división en las clases sociales. El tema central del texto es la división de clases sociales. Esta, a su vez, crea un enfrentamiento entre hacendados e indígenas ya que algunos de estos fieles trabajadores no desean seguir siendo mantenidos por sus patrones. Ellos anhelan su libertad para así poder surgir y dejar de ser miembros de la clase baja. Al introducir a personajes como los indígenas para mostrar la gran división de clases sociales, la autora presenta el típico estereotipo de este grupo. Esta critica su violencia y frialdad. Muestra un indio violento que asesina...

...When one first thinks of Spanish culture, it’s likely that its beautiful architecture, unique music style, or some other prominent feature comes to mind. Perhaps one of the most well-known—yet misunderstood—aspects of the culture of Spain is the traditional Spanish bullfight. People from all over the world flock to the largest cities in Spain to observe what they consider to be one of the greatest customs of the nation, yet most of them have very little idea of just how much historical, cultural, and symbolic meaning lies beneath its surface. For many years, it was thought that bullfighting was a relatively new practice, yet in recent decades, there have been discoveries linking the practice all the way back to primitive cultures that existed nearly 2500 years ago. Pictures of bullfights have been found in Knossos, Greece, and it is thought that the Greek mythological figure, Theseus, may have been the...
