Even as the first colonies to be formed, the Caribbean islands were some of the last to decolonize. This included Puerto Rico which is still a colony today. The paths to freedom include, “independence, integration to the metropolis, and full autonomy in association with the metropolis” for many of the colonies, but for Puerto Rico none of these tactics have worked. All of these paths seem to be blocked off to Puerto Rico, deterring the colony from reaching independence or even self government. Even as it was considered among the most stable entities Puerto Rico’s status is not at all great because of its smaller degree of self government. Puerto Rico’s condition is nothing to gloat about and it isnt geting much better. Especially with the lack of power given and the dependence the citizens of Puerto Rico have for the United States.
Quotation: only 19 percent of residents can speak English with relative ease, and another 23 percent can speak it with difficulty. to the remaining 58 percent, english might as well be chinese.
Reaction: This is believeable. If i was guess what age group spoke english I would say those in highschool middle school and college. My sisters in Puerto Rico have learned to speak some english and they are learning more and more everyday.
