He opposed Austrian, and he was caught.

The words are by his son before Tell shoot the apple on his head. His son believed him, and he succeeded!

BR 1-2 : JENNIFER LOPEZ

I am always going to be latina . That's is me . "
(Rod, 2000, p. 12)

This is a nonfiction story which depicted the life of Jennifer Lopez. She dreamed to be an actress and a dancer, but her parents opposed that. She didn't give up and made effort, and her dream was come true. On the other hand, she also experienced pains.

This is her remark when she succeeded as a Latin American. Before she became famous, there are not famous stars of Latin American. She became famous star regardless her race. Latin Americans are proud of her, and she is also proud to be a Latin America.
