Image result for puerto rico's economyPuerto Rico has been one of the most competitive and dynamic economies in Latin America. Until recently, their economy heavily relies on United States government aid. With their GDP per capita expectancy running at 28,000 USD by the end of this quarter and the poverty line being higher than the national average in the U.S at 14%. It can be safe to say that this impact on their commonwealth status has taken a toll on their economic growth. Puerto Rico’s gross national income is considered when calculating U.S growth, however, the United States officials have not found a valid responsibility or confirmed plan of action to improve our fellow U.S territory. Many factors go into how this is affecting the island but have the officials yet considered whether a prescribed plan can help our nation?

Puerto Rico's Economy is something I researched because it was something I was curious about considering the island is a commonwealth to the United States.Going forward I plan on elaborating more statistics in comparing Puerto Rico's economy versus the United States.One of the things I found difficult was differentiating between their government and their economy and how they cross in order to make the islands economy run effectively.Some interesting things included in this research go into federal programming and how it is different from the states in contrast to Puerto Rico.This can  affect its economy as its own governed nation.There are many ways Puerto Rico has tried to change their economy however there are acts created in U.S congress being that it is still a common wealth that has hindered its growth.

Revision of blog post #4

Today I relapsed on experiencing two stories that consist of possession within human encounters by the name of "Little Cog-burt" by Phyllis Allfrey and "Cotton Candy" by Dora Alonso. Both stories contain two young protagonists, one being Cog-Burt and the other being Lola. In the stories, I believe both authors wanted the audience to feel for a nurturing sense within these protagonists. When reading you get the urge to want to help with the situation these characters go through as well as seeing the main characters gain what they truly long for. In "Cotton Candy" Lola is faced with a corrupt society in Cuba that destines her future as a sewer making fabric for a local prostitute yet gains more and more interest in things that have no significance from her homeland economically such as butterflies and "lions and tigers that make ligers"(14-15). However, with time we find her migrating to a San Diego zoo that allows her to see these beautiful animal
