They soon realize that Cesar, whose family has been part of a gang in their hometown has now finally reached him. Through laughter, tears, and rapport one lives these moments with them. Through their struggles, Spanglish, and playful moments you can truly feel understood and represented in the culture, and struggles they face. ]]> 2023-02-11 19:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477484323 nreyes217 https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477492964 Although media has historically presented "happy endings" we all know that's not always how it goes. Triumphs and losses go hand in hand, friendships are lost, and time is an enemy no one fears but always falls victim to. ]]> 2023-02-11 20:05:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477492964 nreyes217 https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477518398 Not only does this show the point of view, and struggles of Latino and black teens face. It also represents the culture and matters that can only be understood by a Latino or black individual. It helps to feel understood, even as an adult looking back to one's teen years. It brings our culture, struggles, and worldview to mainstream media. ]]> 2023-02-11 21:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477518398 nreyes217 https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477518642 Of course, I would!  Not all are evil, well maybe a little. In this show, we see how even a gang member is as human as us. Although some stereotypes depict them as heartless. ]]> 2023-02-11 21:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477518642 nreyes217 https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477539030 This show makes it even more relatable with an episode showing the struggles of immigration and deportation. It shows the effects of deportation, along with the separation of families. However, it also shows the resilience of the Latin community, and the willingness to help each other. ]]> 2023-02-11 22:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477539030 nreyes217 https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477540317 Latino culture is present from festivities of quinceaneras to religious artifacts seen commonly in a Latin households. We also see this in the forms of tattoos, as well as language such as sayings. ]]> 2023-02-11 22:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477540317 nreyes217 https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477547851 Growing up education was not only presented to us as a necessity but a path to a better future. I really resonated with this being a part of On My Block. ]]> 2023-02-11 23:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477547851 nreyes217 https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477550196 This scene shows exactly how classism and stereotypes of the Latin culture can be abused of. As well as discrimination due to social status. This again was very relatable to something I as a Latina have experienced. ]]> 2023-02-11 23:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477550196 nreyes217 https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477552258 I am sure we can all relate to those first butterflies, crushes, and kisses. As Cesar and Monse discover these feelings for each other we also see their relationship run into some turbulence. As well as her father not being accepting of Cesar due to his gang affiliation....again relatable!]]> 2023-02-11 23:25:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477552258 nreyes217 https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477553419 Jasmine although loud.... and sometimes annoying shows us how to be happy. Later in the show, we learn her sad story, however, she always tries to be a positive and bubbly person.  ]]> 2023-02-11 23:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nreyes217/rl55x3x6vofngv9f/wish/2477553419
