The Separation between the Fantastic and the Real in the Stories of Julio Cortázar Throughout the following research paper, we will develop the literary analysis of the stories "The night face up” “After lunch” “The Axolotl” and “Cefalea” by Julio Cortazar. I chose this author because we can enjoy his literature in which reality is transformed into fantasy, which catches us and forces us to interpret it. The author chosen belongs to the "boom" of Latin American literature. That is why his style is avant-garde and uses surrealism as the only way to represent reality. The main characteristic of his fantastic narrative is the application of unusual and suggestive elements; always part of daily situations combined with paranormal…

The similarities of the rentier economies in these three regions vastly outweigh the differences as they are all plagued with the two classic problems all rentier economies face: economic dependence and vulnerability due to the boom and bust cycle. There are some nuanced differences between the economies in the regions, such as Dutch Disease occurring at a higher rate in…
is broken, then a lot changes and the aircraft needs to be as streamlined to do that. To make an engine more streamlined it becomes smaller and more part of the wing of the plane. The engine might be smaller but it has to move more air than a subsonic engine which means the rate at which the engine rotates will be higher, increasing the noise. With hearing protection this might not be a huge deal, but for people who live close to an airport and have to listen to lift off and landing might be…
Do you know what a sonic boom is? Do you know how a sonic boom is created? After you read this paper you will be able to answer yes to both questions. A sonic boom is a thunder like sound that can only be heard on the ground. A sonic boom is a shock wave created by an airplane or another aerospace object flying equal to or greater than the speed of sound. A physicist named Ernst Mach established a way to measure airspeed to the speed of sound. (Wonderpolis pg.2). Mach 1 is when you are flying at…
Capitalism is one of the most talked about subjects today by many economic geographers and how much commotion it can cause. Capitalism has been debated since its invention so many years ago. Capitalism is crisis prone and truly only works because it is so dependent on crisis. Capitalism is based on the theory of boom and bust cycle and creates outwards of flow during a boom and causes many jobs to be lost during a bust. David Harvey mentions in his article about the dependency on crisis for…

Foster, caused hundreds of thousands of steelworkers to walk off their jobs. In Seattle, a general strike led to the entire city being shut down for a lack of workers. Terrorism and violence led to injuries of…

Landing on the hard consonants and using them at the beginning of the word to propel the pitch forward worked perfectly. However, where there were any uncertain parts, prime example being the "Fa la la" section of “Fire”, our intonation, as well as all the other technical aspects declined rapidly in quality. As far as rhythmic accuracy goes, “Fire” may have lacked that quite a bit in the “Fa la la” section of the song, as well as small hiccups in some of the alleluia phrases of the Latin piece…
