Question

I would love to know if you celebrate this day, and if so, how. For those of you not wanting to help with homework, I have done all my research and finished my power point. I am looking for info that cannot be found simply be searching the web Paz mis amigos :0

Answer 1

Is there a way to show you guys my power point?

Upload it to a file sharing site and place a link to that site in your reply. I use www.slideshare.net that allows sharing of PowerPoint slideshows for free.

For instance, here is a link to a PowerPoint slideshows I made some time ago.

install US Intl keyboard

You can let us view it on that particular site, make the files downloadable, embedable, etc.

I just set up my account and will upload it tonight when I get home :) Thank you so much, I am a newbie with computers - sunshinzmommie, Oct 19, 2009

Answer 3

La Grita, el dia de independencia."

Is spelled el grito de independencia.It is actually called "El griito de Dolores" because it was yelled in a town called Dolores Guanajato,Mexico. September 16th,1910 at dawn. First one was yelled by Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. The yell was as follows "Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe,abajo el mal govierno, viva el Rey Fernando seventh.

Why was it given at dawn, because the plot to abolished slavery was discovered and the people involved (some of the people) woke up the priest Hidalgo and was told that the plot was discovered so, the priest got up and rang his church bell and gave the grito de Dolores at the same time he waved the Virgen de Guadalupe standard.

In modern times the maximum authority of the town or city or state gives the yell. The president of the republic of Mexico also yells. It consists of viva Mexico, viva Mexico, viva Mexico,viva Hidalgo, viva los heroes de la independencia. At the same time a bell is rang and the Mexican flag is wave.All of this is done at dawn on the 16 of September.

Now, please paste some of the research that you made on this post. It would be very nice of you.

I will do first thing in the morning :) I need to sleep now, I really appreciate your words. Do you have any personal experience with it? - sunshinzmommie, Oct 17, 2009

Answer 4

Ok, Gus I start by talking about the events that led up to the War of Independence (Colón, Cortés, Tenochtitlán, and then Bonaparte) Then I explain who Hidalgo was and then I explain the cry and when it was given and what it meant. I talk about the different classes systems and how he fought for social justice. I then talk about how to this day the cry is re-enacted by the President of Mexico. He is on the balcony facing the Zocolo. The flag is waved the cry is yelled. ¡Viva Mexico!

Is there a way to show you guys my power point?

Answer 6

I do...but just because I can't pass up a good reason to party with La Raza. I don't know if this will help you at all, but all the days of independence run together in June and July. It's crazy party time all over the East Coast. The only thing I look forward to more is The World Cup, at which time I just can't wait to openly talk trash to Heidita!

What do you do to celebrate? - sunshinzmommie, Oct 17, 2009

Lets celebrate life. Clebremos la vida. - 00769608, Oct 17, 2009

Answer 7

There is a problem with your request. We don't know what you have already found. To fulfill your request we would have to do the same research that you have done. That is asking a lot.

I was more looking for personal experiences, not research. :) - sunshinzmommie, Oct 17, 2009
