Peninsulares were the Spaniards who were actually born in Spain, not in the New World. They were not typically of mixed blood and were generally part of the higher classes, since in the sociedad de castas, Europeans were at the top of the hierarchy, with people of mixed origins (such as mestizos and mulattos) in the middle and black slaves and Indians on the bottom.

Mestizos

Mestizos were people of multiracial background in early Latin America. Mestizos were expected to be smarter and more able to help society than those of pure Indian ancestry. Successful Indians and Indians who married a Spanish women would usually call themselves mestizos as well.Mestizos were part of the sociedad de castas that determined rank in Spanish colonies. Mestizos were above Indian, but below the Spanish. Although most of these castas were based on color and origin, they were slightly affected by wealth and education. Other multiracial identities appeared during this time, such as a mulatto, of African and European descent.

Mulatto
Mulatto is a term commonly refered to someone who is on both black and white ancestry. It usually is used in an offensive way because the term was common during the time of slavery to describe someone of mixed acestry. Despite being commonly used to discribe people with black and white ancestry it can be used for anyone with mixed ancestry. Despite being used in a negative way Mulatto was an official US census category until 1930. Also, mulattos compose a large portion of South American countries like the Domincan Republic and Brazil. Mulattos often faced discrimination and were often portrayed in fiction as the "tragic mulatto".

ES: Complete your assignment for Friday. (READ THE NOTES ON CONTOUR LINES)

CONTOUR LINES

Parts of A Topographic Map
A. Topographic maps must show landforms on the earth’s surface. THE CI = 20 FEET

B. Contour lines on topo maps connect points of equal elevation.
- a series of concentric circles general means a hill or
mountain at a location
- Contour lines close together indicate a steep slope
- Contour lines farther apart indicate a gentle slope
- Contour lines show us the shape of the land at various
elevations

C. Contour interval is the change in elevation from one contour line to
the adjacent one. It can be anywhere from 5 to 100 feet.

D. Depression contours have small hash marks pointing downhill.
They generally indicate the presence of a hole or volcanic crater.

NOTE: This is a PROFILE OF A COUNTOUR MAP. 0 feet is sea level. WHAT IS THE CI:?

NOTE: A COMPARISON OF A CONTOR MAP AND IT'S PROFILE, SEA LEVEL IS ALWAYS ZERO (0).

WHAT IS THE CI?

Ellen Foster Summary

Ellen Foster is told from young Ellen's (11 years old) point of view. The narrative shifts between memories of her abusive past and descriptions of her present life in a foster family.
The book opens with Ellen's confession that she used to think of ways to kill her daddy, but she did not kill him. He drank himself to death. She just wished him dead. She then shifts to talking about how much happier she is now that she lives with her foster family in a clean home with plenty of food.

Shifting into the past again, Ellen relates how her sickly mother came home from the hospital but could not rest because she had to tend to her drunken, abusive husband. Ellen tries to shield her mother from her father, effectively serving as parent to both of them, but she cannot save her mother, who overdoses on pills. Ellen tries to call for help, but her father threatens to kill both Ellen and her mother if Ellen leaves the house. He convinces Ellen that all her mama needs is sleep, so Ellen takes her mother back to bed and curls up beside her. Even after she feels her mother's heart stop beating, Ellen continues to lie there, wanting to hold on to her mother for a little longer.

Ellen's DaddyAfter the death of his wife, Ellen's father stops doing anything but eating and sleeping. His brothers bring him some papers to sign, and after that they bring him an envelope with money once a month. Ellen makes sure to get to the money before her father does so that she can pay the bills and buy food. Ellen's only friends are Starletta and her parents, a black family that lives nearby. Ellen struggles with her prejudices as she likes Starletta and her family, but secretly feels superior to them and fears that if she drinks from the same cup or eats their food she will catch something from them. Ellen spends Christmas day with them, but although she is hungry she will not eat dinner with them. She returns home, relieved not to find her drunken father there and spends Christmas night alone. This lonely scene is juxtaposed with a scene from Ellen's present life in the foster home, where all of the children are building a terrarium together.

LOGIC MADE EASIER

A conditional statement is a statement that can be expressed in "if...then..." form.

* Hypothesis: This is the part of the sentence that follows the word "If..."
* Conclusion: This is the part of the sentence that follows the word "then..."

It may be necessary when working with conditional statements to rewrite the sentence so that it is in "If...then..." form.

Example:

"All surfers like big waves."

"If you are a surfer, then you like big waves."

Putting a sentence in "If...then..." form before beginning your investigation of a conditional statement will make your work easier.

The converse of a conditional statement is formed by SWITCHING the hypothesis and conclusion of the original statement, with the words "if" and "then" fixed.

Example:
Conditional: "If the space shuttle was launched, then a cloud of smoke was seen."

Converse: "If a cloud of smoke was seen, then the space shuttle was launched."

It is important to note that the converse of a true/false conditional statement is NOT necessarily true/false as the original statement.

The inverse of a conditional statement is formed by negating the hypothesis and negating the conclusion of the original statement.

Example:
Conditional: "If you grew up in Alaska, then you have seen snow."

Inverse: "If you did not grow up in Alaska, then you have not seen snow."

It is important to note that the inverse of a true/false conditional statement is NOT necessarily true/false as the original statement.

The contrapositive of a conditional statement is formed by negating both the hypothesis and the conclusion, and SWITCHING the resulting negations. In other words, it does BOTH the jobs of the INVERSE and the CONVERSE.

Example:
Conditional: "If 9 is an odd number, then 9 is divisible by 2."
Contrapositive: "If 9 is not divisible by 2, then 9 is not an odd number."
An important fact to note is that:

If the original statement is TRUE, the contrapositive is TRUE, and vice versa;
If the original statement is FALSE, the contrapositive is FALSE, and vice versa.
In this case, they are said to be logically equivalent.
