Pancho Villa vs. Porfirio Diaz -- Mexican Revolution

Both Esperanza Rising and Elena refer to the Mexican Revolution.  This is one of the many parallels between these two stories.  In Elena, you learned about two men, the rebel/bandit/folk-hero Pancho Villa and the dictator Porfirio Diaz.  Read about these two men and decide whose side you would be on. Defend your decision with reasons based on the reading.  Post your decision and reasons on kidblog.
