This week, our readings examine of roster of lived experiences by women throughout the Americas, hence, in solidarity.

• In the article, Someone is Always Trying to Kill You, the author discusses the multiple reasons why women flee.  Provide 4 examples from the article and develop a US-based policy that supports women in this situation. https://www.mediafire.com/file/o0whbmmbtm7koo9/Someone+Is+Always+Trying+to+Kill+You.pdf/file
• Many of us know of the legend of the La Llorna.  Provide a detailed account on how this week’s reading, La Otra Llorna Loca differs from the traditional model. https://www.mediafire.com/file/h7lyet5g6pgex2r/La+Llorona+Loca-The+Other+Side.pdf/file
  • Note: If you are unfamiliar with La Llorna, read the following:
    • La Llorona drowned her children in a river in a rage at her unfaithful husband. As a spirit, she was condemned to wander the shores of the river forever searching for her dead children. In Latin America the song is associated with the Day of the Dead.
• The creative pieces/poems, When Was the Last Time You Saw Mami Smile – and Twice a Month is Mother's Day, describe the struggles faced by the women in each community.  For example, could the women in Mother's Day evolve into the character about Mami Smiling?  Why/Why Not?
