In making “Evita”, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice sought to present an unbiased portrayal of the life of Argentinian political leader Eva Peron. This unbiased portrayal however was interpreted as, an almost vicious attack to a woman that many Argentinians consider a saint. The musical “Evita” re-ignited a debate that had long since burned in Argentina, was this woman a saint or simply a social climber? The life of Eva Peron (then Eva Duarte) began in extreme poverty raised mainly in the town…

ever be recognized as much as he is today for his work. There were three poems from Lord Byron that were studied during class. There were three main messages in She Walks in Beauty, From Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage Apostrophe to the Ocean, and From Don Juan. First of all, there was one main message in Byron’s poem, She Walks in Beauty. The message that was most apparent in my opinion, was that in most cases, guys want the one thing they cannot have. It becomes apparent that the more a person…

Governments were being overthrown, leader’s assassinated, and left-wing right-wing guerilla groups were utilizing terrorism and strikes against the government and one another. After many changes in leadership, Isabel Peron, wife of the assassinated Juan Peron leader of the Peronist, was ousted by a coup led by a military junta.

decorated frame encompassing her image. She is shown looking down with her head a bit tilted to the left, a pose that characterizes her and distinguishes her from different virgins. She is in the center, with a beige background that most likely represents Juan Diego’s tilma, where her image appeared for the first time. Emanating from her image are diagonal lines that have a yellow, goldish color to them, that not only emphasize her presence in the image, but also represent her power and higher…

novel genres together worked allowed Scott to consider political and social issues of the day through the medium of the socio-political battles and debates of a previous era—sixty years since. Comparatively, Byron’s poetical piece-de-resistance Don Juan, published periodically, branches across many genres, using their conventions as its own pleasure to generate a shockingly unique work from an amalgamation of many pre-existing genres through the appropriation of their conventions.

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.

Due to the fact that as we can sense, Cepeda is not a “razor-thin blond hair” woman; instead she most likely has…

Vasco da Gama was in charge of leading a Portuguese exploration to sail from Portugal to around the tip of Africa and to India. His task was to find a route that could lead to open up European enterprises for…
