User talk:Jae7419/Pedro Juan Soto

After looking at the current entry, I would propose to expand on the type of literature that Soto studied and connect it to Hemingway’s influence on his work. Also, when they mention that he “published works in Revista Asomante,a Hispanic magazine” they do not detail the contents of the magazine further. It would be valuable to talk about the themes of the works published in the magazine, but also perhaps finding one of his contributions and analyzing it. From the entry, it seems like the Puerto Rican independence movement was a central theme in his work, but I wonder if this had always been the case. Did his interest from literature shift to a form of political awareness and activism in his work? It might be worth researching further. Also, I wonder if he was ever supported a political figure in his works or in helping them pass legislation. I also think that his famous works Spiks and Usmail should be talked about here, along with the implications of the social and cultural climate for Puerto Ricans. If you have the space, I would also suggest talking about his son Carlos’ activism in the Cerro Maravilla incident and how they aligned with his fathers. Guadalupe
