Interview with Mayra Perez

Puerto Rico takes place of a Repubican Democratic. It is under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United States of America as an organized unincorporated territory.

Puerto Rico doesn't have a president but something like it. This person is called the Head of Government and is elected every four years by popular vote. They are allowed to be as old as 70, after that they aren't allowed to run.

Environment

1. The weather has varied days. You could go out and get soaked from he rain, burned from the sun, or just be able to relas on the porch.

2. Job's were scarce, but I was able to work at a bodegas, so me and my family weren't poor, but we weren't rich either. I really don't know. I moved here with my mom, she was the one who wanted to move.

3. It's dangerous, but everyone knew each other. There was a lot of crime, but that's how Puerto Rico is. Everyone was able to go out and get food. Walk around and you see an avocado tree, and you could climb it and eat it. I miss being able to just go to the beach anytime. It was very tropical, nothing like the United States.

1.

You lived in Puerto Rico for the majority of your life. How was the weather and environment?

2.

What was your economic status while living there? Did something political happen that made you move to America?

3.

How was your neighborhood? And did you do anything different over there, than what you would do here in the U.S.A.?

Mountains- Puerto Rico is very mountainous, with crops growing everywhere. The soil is rich from many years of planting and gathering the nutrients.

Vegetation- Depending where you are, vegetation differs. There are rainforests, mangroves, and vast landscapes. Crops were originally peanuts, tobacco, hot peppers, avocados, and cotton. But since colonization there's sugarcane, oranges, plantains, and mangoes.

Vacation- Puerto Rico is a very visited place. Many people come for the beaches, the history, and the environment. It's a beautiful sight to see, and tourists love it, but not more than the down to earth Peurto Ricans.

Puerto Rico is full of culture. To the food like platanos, rice and beans, pastales, sancocho,and empanadas. the music is full of instruments and singing. There's crime in Puerto Rico, just like everywhere else. Some places are very high in crime rate, but others don't have crime and those usually are the really small towns.
