Abstract
Abstract: The González family is wealthy. Their only son, Pablo, runs into a man named Miguel while outside riding on his bicycle. Miguel, upon hearing his name and learning that Pablo doesn’t in fact speak Spanish, offers to teach him in exchange for work. When Pablo goes back inside to tell his parents about this offer from his new friend, they grow concerned and decide to get the police involved. However, their interaction with the police officer doesn’t go exactly as planned.
期刊介绍:
MR also has a history of significant criticism of W.E.B. Dubois and Nathaniel Hawthorne. An Egypt issue, published just after 9/11 on social, national, religious, and ethnic concerns, encouraged readers to look beyond stereotypes of terrorism and racism. As part of the run-up to its Fiftieth birthday, MR published a landmark issue on queer studies at the beginning of 2008 (Volume 49 Issue 1&2). The Winter issue was a commemoration of Grace Paley, which is going to be followed by an anniversary issue, art exhibition, and poetry reading in April of 2009.
