This is Lesson 17 chat page

1. What did Martí think of the United States? Was he right?

 

2. Is Martí a romantic or a modernist? Please support your argument with citations from the text.

 

3. What would Rodó say if he were analyzing the United States today?

 

4. How do Martí and Rodó help us understand how Latin Americans see the United States? (Use your knowledge of cross-cultural approaches).

Note: In later versions of this web site we plan to have a "chat room" where you will be able to answer the question, post your answer, have other students (and the instructor) read your comments and make their own comments. For the moment you might want to type your answers in a word processing program and let the instructor have them for extra credit. We will also be discussing these questions orally in class.
