 * Hispanic Heritage Essay**

I believe there is a way to keep the Hispanic Heritage alive, I believe that we can make sure that everyone will remember the hispanic heritage by explaining their religion, their fashion, and their music. Another reason why we should keep Puerto Rican religion alive because we could learn all about who and what they worshipped.We should keep their fashion alive because fashion expresses about how they act and their personality. Lastly I think that we should keep the music because music has a way of connecting to the people and allows them to be free with their life so that they can show how they feel about music. If we can keep this alive we show others and teach them all about the hispanic heritage. This is my explanation of and about the Puerto Ricans hispanic heritage.

Most hispanics are Roman Catholic because the first Roman Church came to Puerto Rico so therefore it became the Puerto Ricans religion. There are at least 17.08% hispanics in the entire U.S., but there are at least 53,986,412 in the entire world. All the muncipallities in the U.S. have at least one catholic church in them. The first diocese ever in Puerto Rico was authorized by the Pope in the year 1511. The first protestant church in P.R. ( Puerto Rico ) was the Holy Trinity Church established by the angelican diocese of antigua in 1872. Then later Germans settled in Puerto Rico and found " Iglesia Santisma Trinidad " and found out that this was the first ever non-roman Catholic church in P.R. Most Puerto Ricans are very dedicated to their religion and Jesus. This is why I believe that hispanic religion should be kept alive. ( Religion )

Next I'm going to explain why we should keep the hispanic fashion. Puerto Rican fashion is very colorful when they wear colorful clothes, it is like a way of expressing how they feel and how they act. The most colors that Puerto Ricans usually use are these three colors red, blue, and yellow to express themselves. They usually dress up in bright colors when it is a special occasion but it is usually normal. One holiday that is very big and they dress up very bright is the " Cinco De Mayo " celebration in which they have food and drinks. These are the reasons why I think that the hispanic fashion is important and is needed to be alive. To connect to the religion part they also dress up like this when they go to church or to something religious. This why I believe that we should keep this heritage alive because we can learn so much about how they dressed in the past to the present. ( Fast Facts )

Lastly I think that the hispanic music should be alive because music has a way of expressing someones feelings and how they act. Puerto Ricans love music because it is part of and shows who they are and we can keep it alive by showing others how to do it. Puerto Ricans love to dance and have fun to the music that they love. If we keep this alive we might also learn about their dances and their culture so that we may learn how they did it. The way they make music is by using different instruments, they use trumpets, bongos, guitars, and maracas. They also use their music in church or in religious ceremonys. If we can keep this heritage alive we might learn how to make spanish music and to know how they felt when they sang their songs, this is why I believe that we should keep the hispanic music alive. ( The People )

These are the most important things that I believe that we americans should keep alive: religion, fashion, and music. We should keep these three things alive because we can learn so much about the way they lived. This is why I think we should keep the HIspanic Heritage alive, and if you happen to see a hispanic that you know then ask them about what they about these three things and ask them to teach it to you. Now you know how to keep the hispanic heritage alive, now you will be able to teach someone else about the hispanic heritage. You can teach them how they dress up, how they make music, and what type of religion they had. So let me ask you this how do you keep your hispanic heritage alive?
