    Don Quijote

    Don Quixote is about a man who falls in love with a fictitious woman named Lady Dulcinea del Toboso (Lady Sweetheart of Toboso). Don Quixote was a lonely man, he lived with his niece and servants, but he was lonely where it all counts- in the heart. So he read; he read books about knights and beautiful maidens. Realizing that there really is love and all is not lost he decides to go on an adventure to look for his lady. Quixote rode a horse named Rosinante, which translates into Broken Down Hag; she was named this because she was an old horse. Meanwhile, Sancho Panza, Quixote’s trusted squire, rode his precious donkey named Dapple. People from the church caught wind of these adventures. The church representative was irked due to the fact that Don Quixote was going on his adventures to search for his Lady Dulcinea. One day the priest heard of these ludacris adventures of the great and noble Don Quixote, so the priest hired his nephew to help Quixote “clear his mind,” thinking it was just a phase, and he does exactly that. Although he does it in an unconventional way, he encourages Don Quixote to go out on his travels thinking if he’s defeated or ridiculed enough this “phase” will run it’s course.…

    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.…

In using this form of storytelling, Alvarez brings the women's different life experiences together, connect time, place, and characters into the politics of their country, the emotions of love, and the journey of self-discovery.…

    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.…

    Dead Stars Analysis

    Alfredo Salazar, a lawyer on his early thirties then, was betrothed to Esperanza, whom he loved so much in his youth–Esperanza, who was beautiful, reserved, elegant, and distinctly not average. They were about to be wedded the following month, May, after about four years of engagement, although Alfredo seemed uncertain of his real wants. It is not to mean though that Alfredo is afraid to commit. He just fell in love with another woman on the six weeks preceding his and Esperanza’s matrimony. The woman he fell in love with was a visitor to their town. He first met her when he decided to do some “neighboring” with his father, Don Julian, in Judge Del Valle’s house. It was not in his nature to do such, but perhaps out of fate, he allowed himself to be swayed. He seemed to have no regrets about it. Not when he met Julia Salas, Judge Del Valle’s sister-in-law. They have found themselves in good company since. It was always a moment to cherish for both, particularly for Alfredo, that since then, he had been making the “neighboring” thing a habit. Each Sunday, instead of waiting for his girl (Esperanza) after mass, he was engrossed in giving his newfound love a visit. Julia had given him new life. He admits the fact that he was incomparably happier with Julia than with Esperanza, but it is, too, a pain for him to hurt his fiancée. Julia is unlike Esperanza in more ways, one being that she was certainly less beautiful (physically) than her. It may be that, but she possesses some traits Alfredo found distinctively hers, and which traits that really caught him off the hook. Alfredo married Esperanza in spite of the confusion and pressure he was feeling because of what he felt for Julia, and for Esperanza as well. A pressure to what the people might think, if…
