Watch the film and complete the novel listed in this week’s required studies. Then write an

approximately 800-word reflection and respond to both questions posed below. Use specific

details from the text and film to support your answer (including direct quotations where

appropriate). Feel free to additionally include relevant personal observations, stories, and

experiences. Based on your viewing of the film Romero (Duigan) and reading of the book

(Menchu), how are the situations in Guatemala and El Salvador similar and how are they

different? What do you think of Romero’s responses and actions? How does his activism

compare with that of other priests in the movie or with Menchu’s in the book? Support your

statements with evidence from the assigned materials (required), and feel free to include

relevant, independent research (optional). Cite and reference your sources in MLA style.
