Literary Research Paper: "The Story of the Lizard Who Had the Habit of Dining on His Wives" By Eduardo Galeano "The Story of the Lizard Who Had the Habit of Dining on His Wives" seems to be a short, simple, strange story at first. But if a person looks into Eduardo Galeano's biography, the story makes much more sense and seems to say a lot more than just lizard-eats-women/woman-eats-lizard. The story actually says a lot about "be careful what you wish for," "what goes around comes around," the relationships between men and women, and political symbolism about South America. Maybe even most important is the theme of "rich against poor" because of Galeano's background and Marxist political beliefs. Eduardo Galeano is an important political leftist from South America. Raised a Catholic but soon to become a Marxist, he worked in many jobs but eventually became a writer. As a writer, he has fought for the poor, for the people of his own country of Uruguay and for Freedom of Speech. Although he has suffered because of his strong political beliefs, he is also praised and rewarded for being a fearless fighter. His short story of "The Story of the Lizard Who Had the Habit of Dining on His Wives" is not his most famous work and it is only a 4-page story; however, it has many themes. The story has the themes of "be careful what you wish for," "what goes around comes around," the relationships between men and women, and political symbolism about South America. Though nobody mentioned this, his short story also seems to have the theme of "rich against poor," which makes sense because of Galeano's history and political beliefs. Even his short story shows why Galeano is thought to be a major voice for the poor, his countrymen and Freedom of Speech.

What today's youth would know as a Community Center, ‘Settlement Houses' initially sprang up in the 1880's? At these facilities, higher educated singles would move to Settlement Houses and get to personally know the neighborhood and immigrant people that they were converting, studying, and/or teaching. Working together, they passed labor laws and changed the way the US does business. Where these educated professionals stayed with the community and served them, the main intent of these reforms was to transfer this responsibility of social welfare to the government in the long-run.

The government of Africa has been moving toward criminalization of HIV transmission in its attempts to respond to the rising numbers of HIV infections however, those who advocate for human rights are concerned that these laws result in a violation of the rights of individuals living with HIV and ultimately resulting in the marginalization of these individuals.

The question addressed in this research study is one asking if criminalization of HIV transmission is a valid option to slowing the rate of infection among the population.
