    Essay On Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz

    “Sor Juana” is a biography of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz written by Octavio Paz and translated by Margaret Sayers Peden. It is a book of 470 pages divided in six parts that besides Sor Juana’s life and work, explain the difficulties of the time for an intellectual woman. It was published by The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1988. Reading this book gave me the best opportunity to know more about someone that although has been very influential in my entire life, I didn’t know all her history. My admiration and respect for Sor Juana started since I was a child and one of my sisters used to read her poems. Through my literature classes I knew a little more about her and the…

    Christopher Columbus Dialectical Journal Essay

    Alas, in the midst of our exchange, Columbus became extremely furious. His pale skin went from white to boiling red in rage. I had no clue why he was so frustrated, when just a second earlier he was the happiest person on earth. He shouted at his men, but I couldn't understand a word he said. The only thing I knew was that we had done something wrong, so all I could say was, “Sorry,” over and over again.…

    Juan Ponce de Leon

    Juan Ponce de Leon was born around 1460 in San Tervas de Campos, Spain. He was the first Spanish explorer to arrive in Florida. In 1493, Ponce de Leon and Christopher Columbus sailed together on Columbus’ 2nd voyage to America.

In 1506, he had discovered an island close by named Borinquen, and during his time here, he found lots of gold. Once he made this discovery and took most of it, he left the island of Borinquen. In 1508, he was ordered by the king of Spain to return to Borinquen to colonize it. Later on, he had renamed this island Puerto Rico. He became the island’s governor for two years until he was replaced with Columbus’s son by the king.…

    Vasco Nunez de Balboa

    I was born in 1457, Jerez de los Caballeros, Mexico. I am a Spanish explorer. As a young boy I had two dreams: to become a famous explorer and to be an Olympic fencing champion. My Olympic dream never materialized. After I became big I went on an expedition to South America in 1501. One year later I myself found one island of Hispaniola. Several years later, in 1510, I enjoyed the change in fortune when I became acting governor of Darien. From there I led an expedition to Panama Some Indians told me that the land was located across the mountains near the great sea. When I approached Panama I spotted the great sea that I longed to see: The Pacific Ocean! Sadly I lived only a few more years on January 1519, I was sentenced to death. Long time back all explorers had no technology so they don’t know where they are going but I didn’t let my exploration be a failure so I took a compass to see the directions and an astrolabe to look at the position of the stars and know where I am going.…
