Throughout history, numerous men have tried to change their country. El Líder in Dreaming in Cuban and Vladimir Lenin both are some of these men.

Through these revolutions they tried to do what they thought was the best for their country even if it was not. El Líder is a character in the novel Dreaming in Cuban by Cristina García. Within the novel, El Líder is a rather controversial figure…

The first chapter of Dreaming in Cuban, by Cristina Garcia is very significant as it sets up the characters, what drives them, the place of the novel, societal issues, and establishes relationships to the theme of the novel. The opening sequence displays Celia’s loving character by illustrating the relationship of Celia with Cuba and her husband Jorge. Being voted the primary lookout for Santa Teresa del Mar at the beginning of the chapter, Celia is greatly proud and honored to have such a role…

response from his Sixth Meditation to his dreaming argument from the First Meditation. Descartes’ Meditations are the processes of thinking that he attempted to create a stronger basis for our ways of thinking by doubting on various beliefs that are skeptical. In his Sixth Meditation, Descartes found an answer to his doubt and used that to refute his first premise of the dreaming argument. He knew that he could actually tell the different whether he was dreaming or not by matching the…

Dreaming Dreaming is known as the journey your mind undertakes while in sleep with ongoing series of visuals, thoughts, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind. Many people tend to dream as they sleep, but within minutes of awakening they tend to lose all visual thought of their dreams, with only bits and pieces reminiscing in mind as the day progresses. Leaving one to wonder if their dream had a purposeful meaning, or if its just a natural part of the sleep cycle.…

I am dreaming” (Descartes 80). Descartes can feel the warmth of the fire in his dreams and in real life, making it difficult to distinguish the difference between the dreaming state and awake state. Descartes can’t trust his senses in telling him whether the fire actually exists when he’s awake. With that said, we cannot tell the difference between the dreaming state and awake state because of their similarities. Descartes mentions that there are no specific signs to determine the dreaming…

you’ll land among the stars. In our 8th grade English class, this unit, we studied the effort of dreaming. We had read many books and viewed cases where people had decided to follow their dreams. Our overall goal was to look at the outcomes and decide whether or not it is worth it to dream. Frankly, I now know, it is worth it to dream. They give us hope, happiness and the will to persist. Dreaming is worth it because, with the right mindset, one can never fail. As the Les Brown’s quote shows,…

Dreaming means something that might not always come true. Realistic means something that can come true and that it’s going to happen. Even though everyone has a choice to either dream or be real, but I choose realistic because I don’t want to dream something that might not come true. I choose realistic because it’s facing reality and I know for sure that it can come possible. For example, in the movie “ The Hunger Games “ is about several teams trying to survive by killing other…

Brown Girl Dreaming is an emotionally touching children’s book that contains vivid and descriptive language—this makes this book a well-written children’s book. Such language describes Woodson’s childhood, specifically growing up in South Carolina and New York during the 1960s and 1970s—it changed her life. Throughout the course of this book card, I will focus on how an educator can make a difference in a student’s; especially when it comes to motivating students to chase after their dreams. As…

In Brown Girl Dreaming, for me at least, it was hard to find direct quotes that represented feminism and women empowerment. Instead, I looked at the book as a whole. As I previously mentioned, feminism does have woman’s rights in sight, but it also aims to reach for gender equality. Woodson goes above and beyond that. As a child, she became fascinated with poetry, especially the works of Langston Hughes. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing and looked at poetry as a code for white…

regularly, however many people read significance into them and numerous theories have been proposed to explain the phenomenon of dreaming (Haralambos et al. 2002). Although it is universally accepted that dreaming is “a stage of sleep characterized by the experience of visual imagery and rapid eye movement (in the REM stage)” each theory proposes a different function/aspect of dreaming, most theories belonging to either the neurobiological or the psychological classification of dream theories…
