Help me with my homework please?

For Spanish we have to make an ofrenda for a famous spanish author, and on that ofrenda we have to put at least 5 things representative of that person.

I have Rigoberta Menchu, and the only book she has is an autobiography. She is well known for her work as a resistance member for the native american tribes in Guatemala though.

Obviously it would be really stupid to bring guns and machetes to school. So I need help on thinking of what to use to represent her.

1. I hadn't a clue

so I looked up ofrenda.

http://www.inside-mexico.com/ofrenda.htm

based on this information, I would think a picture of her, and foods etc. that are native to her birthplace?

You could do guns and machetes in the paper cutout thing, I suppose.

4. Remember , keep it personal

Ofrendas are supposed to come from your corazon, the central place within you where your soul dwells.

So it's not only an homage to the person in question, but a reflection of them through your eyes

5. back up. stop.

she isn't dead, so is an ofrenda for her even appropriate?

I'm not being very helpful here am I?

6. It's pretend.

>_<

To be honest though, I'd rather take a modern author over one from the 1500's any day of the week. ;)
