Day 1: I have just entered the mouth and so far everything is all right. I blend right in to the colorful cotton candy! Down the slip 'n' slide I go! This will take me to the stomach lining and I will try to kill the stomach cells. Adventure awaits me Day 2: As I approached the stomach cell, I wrap myself in cotton candy as a disguise. A cell membrane security guard starts asking me questions before I can actually get in. "When did you enter the body?, Where did you come from?, Did you enjoy your ride down the esophagus?." I tried answering the questions in a cotton candy's point of view and the security guard bought my story! I have waited for this moment all my life- getting in the cell! Day 3: Inside the cell in absolutely amazing! Everything is detailed to perfection, but it won't be for long because I am here to ruin it for the whole body! I go to the nucleus, where it does does not recognize me and starts to make millions of copies of myself! We all leave and do the same thing to the rest of the cells! I just hope the immune system doesn't find out... Day 4: All of my virus, called hopeitis, is getting rid of the healthy cells! We are making the body have symptoms like vomiting, fever, cramps, and headache, and making the virus more severe as we keep reproducing! It is crazy how I was able to do all of this! I am not even a living thing! Day 5: Oh no!!!!! The immune system found us! The white blood cells and…

Moving ahead to the twentieth century, an unlikely exploiter of women’s power was through the works of Ernest Hemingway, an author whose authentic stories depicted the realities of World War I and the disillusionment of post-war.

When Cervantes was creating the story of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza I wonder if he himself had a Sancho Panza in his life to which these historic characters were based off of. Although Don Quixote might seem to be just a book written about a “knight errant and his squire” going on ridiculous adventures that ultimately end with them being beaten up it happens to be so much more than that. Cervantes has done a great job at providing his readers with themes that are relevant to the time period…
