Juan

Andrew Lloyd Webber is a man who made the musical Evita to keep her legacy alive long after her death. Although he does this, he knows that Evita and her husband Juan Peron were people of questionable pasts. I agree with Webber that both of them should be relished for what they did in helping Argentina, but their pasts are nothing to be proud of. People should take caution to putting these two as ideal model figures. Maria Eva Duarte, otherwise known as Evita, and Juan Peron were two of the most influential people that resonated in Argentina, but both have an irrefutable past that cannot be ignored. Maria Eva Duarte, known as Evita, grew up in an unfortunate situation. Her father had another family outside of her and her mother. When her father passed away at age six the other family did not treat her and her mother very nicely at the funeral. Growing up with a difficult family situation was one pressure, and the home living situation was…

Don Juan is a name synonymous with seduction. Today, a young man popular with young women may be called a ‘regular Don Juan’ and many bachelors could only hope for that comparison. This modern colloquialism is rooted in the names’ history. For example, Moliere’s Don Juan is a libertine. He is willing to break hearts, wedge between couples, and lie in his pursuit of pleasure. This zealous seduction raises the question of where Don Juan finds pleasure: In the act of seduction or in the lovemaking…

In the poem “Don Juan Canto One” by Lord Byron, the question can be asked of whether Don Juan is a funny piece like Byron says or if it is not a very funny piece like his publisher John Murray believes. The first canto can be divided into three parts. Part one is where Bryon describes Don Juan’s parents and their relationship. The second part Byron shows Don Juan at age sixteen and Don Juan sleeping with a married woman named Julia. The third and last part Byron shows the aftermath of Don…

The Plot Twist of Men and Women Stereotypes In Pushkin’s The Stone Guest Don Juan is known for his seductive past, who is now willing to devote his life to Doña Anna while surrendering all of the other women he admires. Yet, Pushkin’s character Laura also has seductive tendencies, but she has no regard in settling down. Unfortunately in the 21st century women are known for their sex appeal and Laura’s character happened to enhance how women are portrayed today. Women and men may indeed live on…

The Battle of San Juan Hill was the engagement between the United States and Spain that concluded the Spanish colonial control. The most acclaimed unit that was in Cuba at the time was the “Rough Riders”. Led by Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt and Colonel Leonard Wood. The Rough Riders were camped along the Santiago Road in Cuba during the first day of July of 1898 getting ready for battle. The Battle of San Juan Hill was a pivotal battle for both antagonist. Teddy’s “Rough Riders” was a…

“It was because of your greed that all of this happened. You should’ve just sold the pearl or thrown it away.” I waited as Kino just stood there silently. “So be wise and don’t seek revenge on these men,” I continued. Kino sighed, “You are right, Juan Tomas.’’ Then, as we started to go back home, the pearl buyers came out of another room and told us to wait. Behind us, stood all three pearl buyers, looking really scared. “We are sorry for trying to cheat you,” they said to Kino. “Therefore, we…

Brainwashing people into doing tasks they don’t intend to do can be easily manipulated to ignore the task they do intend to do in “The Censor”, by Luisa Valenzuela that is exactly what happened to Juan. In the short story, Juan goes through changes to make what his original outcome of the situation is much different. He is a thoughtful person that originally meant no harm for himself or his friend Mariana, whom he wanted to send the letter to but got himself into a predicament at the end. He…

Juan is a very good reader from my few interactions that I have had with him and based on his scores when given the different assessments. He is able to pronounce the words and read without much struggle and according to his grade level. There are those words, which he sometimes stumbles upon, just like a lot of us do so as well today, but they are words that may be too advanced for him or not in his day-to-day vocabulary. But, just like any other student his age, there are a few things in which…

way to describe it. Due to the nature of the poem, some readers may not have been ready for a poem quite like this. This meant that at the time of publication, Don Juan was met with a lot of outrage. Or as Andrew Elfenbein put it, scandalised anger. Due to the poems rumoured lack of copyright, it famously lead…

skips classes, doesn’t do homework, and doesn’t study that is succeeding. Camus may suggest that we do not need the education to live a good life. He may suggest we should just stick to what we already know. However, studies show that individuals with college degrees earn significantly more income in their lifetime than those who do not; it would be extremely difficult to live freely as Camus suggests without money. Additionally, what if we felt like doing bad things? Again, Camus would suggest…
