For my días de los Muertos project I decided to honor my brother Tommy. My brother is 16 years old and goes to Seneca high school. During the summer he worked at Braca’s, a restaurant in Sea isle City.

Some of Tommy’s interest are sports. He does a lot of sports such as baseball, basketball, and he is on the bowling team at Seneca for fun with his baseball team. This year he will be playing golf for Seneca. Also during the winter besides basketball Tommy loves to go snowboarding. He goes snowboarding like other weekend in the winter. During the summer he likes to go surfing everyday. Also during the summer skateboards at the skatepark. A unique fact about Tommy is he is amazing at taking pictures, he is always taking pictures of me in sports

    Don Quixote is a static character, an insane protagonist that has a condition that justifies adventures and quests. He embodies a knight errant, a chivalrous man of the sword, a classic archetype that is a key player during the feudal era, and one of the first things that comes to mind when we think of early Europe.

On one of the first days of their adventures, Don Quixote charges a group of…
