This year there is controversy over the 2010 Census form. Question number eight asks, "Are you of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin?" Many people are finding themselves unable to answer the question because they are of many different origins. At this point in America it is hard to identify what one ethnicity you are. Also, people are wondering why there aren't other national origins on there. I wonder why this is a question on the U.S. Census form. Some people think it has to do with just numbers. The only other country that has a higher percentage of Hispanics than America is Mexico. I guess the main question people are wondering is why do we have to identify exactly who or what we are. We are Americans.
This week in Spanish we learned about stem changing verbs. There are many different rules for this which makes is very difficult to remember. Words with an e change to an ie for the conjugated form and words with an o change to a ue for the conjugated form.
Me gusto mucho duermo.
Alyssa, sometimes I think all these verbs are going to drive me insane. Regular ar, er, ir, irregular verbs, only "yo" irregular verbs, and now with the stem changes... eye-yii-yii.
