The next case that I have read articles about is the Latin singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez. My reading standard is 11.R.5.1. I have summarized this on a different document. This is the second case I have read about. Selena was a popular Latin singer in the early 1990's. The other day, I watched the movie Selena. It was a very interesting movie about her life, but ended very tragically. In the movie, Jennifer Lopez played the roll of Selena. Jennifer Lopez and Selena actually almost look alike. In the articles and the movie, it said that Selena was shot by her fan club president, Yolanda Salvidar. Selena and her father, also the manager, found out that Yolanda was stealing money from the club and Selena wanted to confront her about it. On March 31st, 1993, Selena was killed.
Here is a link to the biography of Selena Quintanilla-Perez: http://www.biography.com/people/selena-189149
Evaluation: Till this day, no one really knows why did Yolanda shot Selena. Many people have said that it was for the money. After Selena's death, Texas has established "Selena Day" on April 12th in Texas. Texas is the birthplace of Selena. Selena is remembered as "The Queen of Tejano".
Hey Josey I remember when I was little I used to dance to one of her songs in my room. Because it was so catchy but that was like along time ago.:)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE SELENA!! We had an exchange student from Panama when I was in HS-- my friend Cathy and I would sing "Como la Flor" to her, over and over. I'm sure she loved it.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad how she died though. She was a really good singer. It is also a really good movie!
