English
Thesis and Outline: Topic 4
Intro
• Aldonza finds it hard to love because no one lover her back. However this changes when she meets Don Quixote
• Using his charm and love she changes her perspective on herself and others
Thesis
Aldonza’s gentle heart is masked by her rough exterior, but when she meets Don Quixote his love for her allows her to see herself through his eyes. The years of her mistreatment are washed away by Don Quixote’s captive heart.
Argument 1
• In the song he describes her name as “a prayer an angel whispers” (pg.23)
• He also states that he has been seeking for her and dreaming of her

    Comparative Essay on Don Quixote and Sir Gawain

    In all of the literary works we've read this semester, all of them have contained characters with similar and distinctive qualities. Some of them were similar in the ways they handled what circumstances they were given, and others were not even near alike with their heroic actions or decisions. Two characters that I found to have similar as well as distinctive qualities was Sir Gawain from "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," and Don Quixote from "Don Quixote de la Mancha". These two characters just stood out to me. They both had moral and cultural values; some were more obvious than others.…

    Analysis Of Don Quixote By Miguel De Cervantes

    This next literature I will be discussing is “Don Quixote” written by Miguel De Cervantes which has a powerful message of social classes. This story tells you a lot about social classes and how it everyone is treated differently within the classes. Don Quixote is an old man who has read a lot of books about knights and decides to be come one. He is a very weather man and is one of the smartest people in his town. He set off on a great adventure in pursuit of eternal glory and drops what everything he was doing at home. This is alright for people who are wealth to do this, but people in the lower classes couldn’t afford to drop everything to chase a dream around.…

    Beanfield War

    The book begins by explaining who Amarante Cordova is, and what his life has been like, to set the background of one of the main characters. Armarante and his wife, Elizabeth, had thirteen children, Nadia, Jorge, Polito, Maria Ana, Berta, Roberto, Billy, Nazario, Gabriel, Ricardo, Sally, Patsy, and Cipriano. Elizabeth made her way to the rim of the gorge, ravens circling high in the sky (image 1). As time went on many of Amarante’s children passed away, he was out lasting many of his children, and even at his old age, was in much better health than most of his children that were alive. Sensing that he may be dying, one of Amarante’s daughters sent a letter to all of the other sons and daughters saying that they should come and say their final goodbyes this Christmas. Many wrote back saying things like, “NO! I just came for Mama’s funeral!” (John Nichols, 1974) and “What is Papa trying to do to us all? I’m no spring chicken, Sally. I got a heart condition. I’m blind in one eye. I got bursitis so bad in one shoulder I cant lift my hand above my waist. And I’ve got diabetes!” (John Nichols, 1974). Only a few showed up, and at Christmas dinner a death occurred, but it wasn’t Amarante, it was Jorge, who had a heart attack.…

    Quinceañera Research Paper

    Celebrating a quinceañera was not only about having a big party but also a tradition that helped shape me into the person I am today. To nearly all teenage girls what comes to mind when they think or hear about a quinceañera is the party. They imagine the dress, the limousine, the enormous reception hall and the dance. Problem is; that most eager birthday girls including myself, it takes the whole experience to really understand how symbolic and meaningful the celebration really is. Although it may simply be a big fifteenth birthday party to some girls but, for me it was an eye opening learning experience.…

    I'M Not Scared Character Descriptions

    1. Michele Amitrano- Michele's compassion is his most projecting characteristic that makes him appealing to the reader. Throughout the novel, he exhibits empathy well beyond his years, often making readers forget that he is just nine. This can be seen clearly in three main instances. First, when he goes after his sister when she has fallen over (pg. 4) despite his own fears. Secondly, offering to complete the forfeit in place of Barbra when Skull forces her to complete an embarrassing forfeit. Finally, and most evidently, when he takes care of Filippo. This makes for a positive contrast with the rest of Acqua Traverse who seem to lack any compassion. When describing places and characters he reveals his unique way of viewing things that demonstrates his childlike imagination and innocence. He often combines reality and fantasy, such as when describing the ‘Wicked Witch' (pg. 89) to Maria.…

    Chronicle of A Death Foretold: Moral Corruption

    The author also shows the reader another time when Santiago Nasar’s judgment was very poor in the decisions he had made. “I warned him: ‘A falcon who chases a warlike crane can only hope for a life of pain.’ But he didn’t listen to me, dazzled by Maria Alejandrina Cervantes’s illusory calls.” (pg.65) Santiago Nasar fell in love with the town’s best whore and everyone that cared about him told him to keep away from her. Since Santiago had clouded thoughts he did not listen, and his dad had to ground him for his own good.…
