Based upon border lines by Alberto Rios; an award winning poet and author that are known for his commission by the governor of Arizona in 2003 to honor the president Vicente Fox, who was the president of Mexico at the time. We live in a world made of not of paper and ink but of people. People are main cause of why the world is here; if people states the paper and ink creates the map; I would painfully say that they are wrong on such as a statement.  Hatred can be resolved if each person can join hands together and become diverse to create a better tomorrow.

   Alberto characterizes the borders that divides states as division of people verses the division of states on the map. Alberto can classify that people tend to divide themselves for the aspect of identifying the difference between each other’s limitation. We can consider that the world is made of lines that make people feel detached making them feel like they are different from other people. People would like to consider that they are different from other people rather than they should feel like they are the same; in the case that they are made of the same materials, chemicals, and parts.  The population would prefer that the lines should be alienated among those that they feel; they would like to associate with.

Alberto claims; “The world on a map looks like the drawing of a cow.” The statement can be portrayed of how the cow is sliced up to give a detail description of how the world is divided into countries. Also how countries are divided into states. States divided into cities and towns. And how towns are divided into counties; within the counties, it shows how the counties divide themselves by creating streets within neighbors, and how houses are in the streets.         

            Alberto also claims; “The drawing of the cow is also a jigsaw puzzle.” This can be interpreted as the butcher slicing the cow into billion of pieces as the government and the citizens of a certain country cut up and slice up their people to different areas. People can basically bring up negative result like war, discrimination, or neglecting certain peoples need. This can also bring positive results like diversity among people of different races, and social classes
