Mariano Azuela's 1915 novel The Underdogs was originally published serially in a newspaper and gained worldwide recognition as a classic story of the Mexican Revolution. The novel follows the journey of Demetrio Marcia, an illiterate peasant revolutionary leader, as he fights against the Mexican government from 1910-1915. Through Demetrio's experience, the novel illustrates the changing scope and disillusionment of the revolution over time. It also depicts the vast and foreboding Mexican landscapes that Demetrio and the revolutionaries traverse as they impose their will across the country during the internal conflict. Mariano Azuela was a Mexican author and physician born in 1873 who drew from his experiences growing up on a small farm to write someEx mex jorge castaneda

The Mexican flag has undergone several revisions throughout history. The first national flag was created in 1821 and was influenced by flags used during Mexico's War of Independence, including the Standard of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The colors of the flag - red, green, and white - were established after Mexico gained independence from Spain. The design has since been modified a few times, including by the Second Mexican Empire which added eagles to the flag. The colors now symbolize hope, purity, and religion. While the colors have remained consistent, the coat of arms in the center has seen revisions to make the flag increasingly representative of Mexico over time.MR3
