More Research

            The topic I am most passionate for is Puerto Rican Literature. Some of the foundational work/texts I plan on using for my project are Manuel Alonso's "El Gibaro" (1849) and Manuel Zeno Gandia's "La Charca" (1894). Both of these pieces of literature are among the most important novels to emerge from Puerto Rico in the nineteenth century. The modern Puerto Rican text I plan on using for my project is Pedro Cabiya "Historias Tremendas". This piece of literature was voted best book of the year by the Pen Club. A list of questions I will use for my research and reading are "Who are the authors of the literature/texts/" and "Why did they write this certain literature about Puerto Rico?"
