Florida International University Agustín Marroquín Discussion – Description
Answer BOTH questions below.
Question 1: Agustín Marroquín (Write a 200 word response)
Based on this brief biography, it is clear that Agustín Marroquín lived an extraordinary and dramatic life. It is also clear that he was deeply involved in criminal activity long before his career as a leader in the Independence movement. Using evidence from this chapter, do you think Marroquín’s life offers any clues about the Independence struggle in Mexico and the involvement of the thousands of ordinary people who followed Father Hidalgo? Or do you think Marroquín’s life was so exceptional that his experiences and personal connections cannot be representative of anything beyond his own lifestyle? Make sure your response includes specific evidence and examples from the reading.
Question 2: Maria Antônia Muniz (Write a 200 word response)
This short biography tells us as much as about the life of a specific family as it does about difficult times in an embattled frontier region. How was Maria Antônia Muniz’s family life intertwined with the ongoing borderlands conflict between Portugal and Spain and then Brazil and Paraguay (and Uruguay)? Why do you think there was so much violence within Maria Antônia Muniz’s family? Make sure your response includes specific evidence and examples from the reading.
