Martin Fierro the gaucho (ARGENTINE HISTORY) Hello, how are you all, good day, good afternoon or good night I come to present a story of my native country Argentina I hope you like it, I also warn you that my English is not very good✌ First of all I will mention the meanings of some unknown words to people from other countries: Gaucho: It derives from the Quechua term "huachu", which means without parents. This word was used in the regions of Plata, Argentina, Uruguay and even in Brazil, to designate the horsemen of the plain or pampa dedicated to livestock. Payer: Popular singer who, accompanied by the guitar, improvises verses. Well said this history is nicknamed Martin Fierro The gaucho Martin Fierro It is a poem in which the homonymous protagonist recounts his misfortunes, which represent those of all the gauchos in the last decades of the 19th century. In his song, Fierro presents himself as a payador who flaunts his musical skills and his bravery in dealing with conflicts. He also challenges his listeners through his laments, seeking in his way a way to denounce the injustices he has suffered. Martín Fierro says that he used to live happily together with other gauchos working in the fields. There they lacked nothing and everything was joy. Until one day the Justice of the Peace arrives and takes him to serve on the border, defending the land from the attacks of the Indians. There, Fierro suffers the mistreatment of the authority, which strips him of his belongings, forces him to work the land and does not pay him for his services. To fight against the Indians they are also at a disadvantage, since they do not have the necessary weapons. Fierro here builds a negative image of the Indian, whom he sees as a heartless being who comes to devastate and destroy everything. On a payday, the older man treats him like an animal and tells him that he doesn't get paid because he's not on the list. Martín Fierro, for now, does not see enough reasons to fight and decides not to enter into conflict. He is also punished for claiming his salary, after the bosses send him to the ranch for a misunderstanding with a gringo. Tired of living ragged and poor on the border, Fierro decides to desert and escapes on horseback to return to his payments. When he arrives, he finds that his ranch is in ruins, that his wife has run off with someone else, and that his children are lost. It is then that Fierro swears to become a gaucho matrero, as revenge for everything they did to him. Since he has nowhere to go, they treat him as lazy and start chasing him. He finds himself in this condition when one day he goes to a grocery store to drown his sorrows in alcohol. There he provokes a black woman and a black man, mocking them in a contemptuous way. The man goes to meet him with the knife and Fierro kills him. On another occasion, he gets into a fight with a gaucho who is a protégé of the commander. After this duel, which ends with the death of his opponent, Fierro escapes so that the police do not catch him. However, the police finally find him in the middle of the plain. Fierro begins to fight against several officers who attack him. He is about to lose when one of the police officers, Sergeant Cruz, decides to side with him. Together they win the battle. They then walk away from the conflict to chat. In this part of the poem, Cruz takes up the song to tell his story. He has also suffered abuses of authority: a boss of his took away his wife and his farm. Cruz began to live as a matrero, confronting whoever provoked him with a knife. That was when he got a friend of his to compose it with the judge. Cruz went on to become a police sergeant, but he mistrusted the commanders, who had plans to bring soldiers to work on appropriated land on the border. That is why he decides to go back to being a gaucho matrero and offers Fierro his company in misfortune. Fierro accepts this company and proposes to Cruz to leave the society and go with the Indians. He says that there they will be able to live well, without having to work. It will be dangerous to cross the desert, but as a good gaucho he is not afraid of anything. After this decision, he breaks the guitar to end his singing, and with the intention of never singing again. He also challenges those present saying that no one is going to sing where this gaucho has sung. Then a new voice appears in the song that relates in the third person the last part of this story. He says that he saw Cruz and Fierro cross the border and that he does not know if they died in the desert or if they are still alive. He closes the poem by saying that he has told, in his own way, evils that everyone knows, but that no one had told before.
