The corridos are a interesting topic in literature I believe. Since, the Cortez story wasn’t in writing for quite some time after it was told there really is no way of telling what story was/is right or wrong. They all have the same general plot in each story, but some little details that add certain character to each story. This I believe makes for a great genre of literature in the fact that each story can be told and different everytime, there is no set/deffinate author to the tales. In this specific corrido it gave me a certian sense of propaganda for the spanish during the time. Since, the corrido was made during the spanish/american war I am sure that it was used in motivating the ones involved fighting it.
