The Converso community changed drastically during Yonah Toledano’s lifetime. Starting at the moment when the expulsion from Spain was first announced, “Almost one-third of the Jews became conversos because they feared the terrible dangers of travel, or out of love for a Christian, or they had achieved position and comfort they couldn’t bring themselves to renounce, or they had had enough of being despised” (37). Jews who refused to convert were threatened to be killed. Sometimes when a member of a Jewish family converted, their family would say the Kaddish for them as if they had died. The conversos were not usually treated as Old Christians were.
He has a kind heart and good intentions, but he cannot convey his message properly. Speaks to me: I think the issue of not being able to express thoughts in a proper way is a problem much larger than presented in this book. Many people, including myself, feel a certain way about a subject or individual, but we cannot express how we feel in a manner that properly reflects our feelings. Specifically, many people
Ranim Elsafi 712 Sacajawea Lewis and Clark will be lost without me. Sacajawea was a Lemhi Shoshone woman who helped the Lewis and Clarks Expedition. She was sixteen year old who traveled more than four thousand miles by foot, canoe, boat, and horse. She led Lewis and Clark through the American West. In the stories “Sacajawea” by Kathleen Krull and “A picture book of Sacajawea” by David Adler all connect to the theme and central idea.
As in this story he really brought the idea of “the devil” to all eyes. He has a very impressive style of writing, that not most writers have. He likes to express the emotions of the story line through the characters and even the settings. He really makes it feel like you are right alongside these characters feeling everything they feel. In this story, I feel like the main emotion that stuck out to me was greediness, and selfishness.
He was not happy. Since then, his belief and everything he stood up for all turned upside down. He started seeing a new perspective of his life, but in his dystopian society your own point-of-view and opinion is not allowed, which he fears for his own life. They are three traits that I noticed about him in the novel. He was
He simply states what happened and allows the audience to realize his argument on their own. This is an effective way of making his argument because people will more readily accept concepts they come up with themselves rather than concepts they are told by an outside force. When Stevenson tells a condemned man that he will not be executed soon, the “Man's shoulders [unhunch], and he [looks] at [Stevenson] with intense relief in his eyes'” (10) after previously being “nervous [...] cautious [...] [and] worried” (9). Stevenson doesn't outright state that having hope is what caused the change in demeanor, however the audience is able to infer that hope is what made the change during the time between the two descriptions.
Enrique’s dilemma is that he can either stay in the U.S with his mother or go back to Honduras to be with his girlfriend and child. In the story it says “He gives her a hug. Then a kiss. ‘You’re here, mi hijo’ ‘I’m here ,’ he says”’ (Nazario 190).
Hi Claritza, I felt like Mama did the right thing by tricking Papa to build a room for himself as a way of birth control, because it is sure that Papa will never had agreed with her about this. Women also have the freedom to live healthy, according to their dreams. The present day women are really lucky- they have the voice to tell anything without hesitation. Hats off to the ladies of past generation
In his argument against the Cat Bill, Stevenson enhances his reasons for vetoing the Cat Bill by using tone, details, and imagery. While making his argument, Stevenson uses one tone toward the legislature and another tone toward the bill. He uses “the Honorable” to address the members of the Senate, and he ends with “Respectfully” to keep his statement formal. His use of this respectful tone enhances his ethical appeal so that the audience will be more apt to accept his veto despite the fact that he attacks them for passing this legislation. While he uses a respectful tone toward the audience, he utilizes a tone of mockery toward the bill.
On the 29th of December in 2011 Kali Jo Arnzen, a regular high school going 17 year old teenage girl was ice skating in the area between Ritter and the bank when she heard ice break. The manner in which this young girl reacted to the situation at hand is what would classify her as a true hero. In this essay the circumstances of the heroic act that won Kali Jo Arnzen an award by the Carnegie Hero Fund then will be described. Following this reasons why she possibly could have helped and what made her assume responsibility will be discussed.
Hi Rayshonda, I love reading your interesting post. I was very excited reading the part where you mention that your mother was a dormitory director and living in the college campus was a requirement for your mother to get the job. My excitement change when you mentioned that you decided not to attend college. I understand that it was because you only were involved in the social life of the students. In my case it was very different.
What is the definition of a monster? Is it a person, object, or even a demon? Reading “Monstro,” the monster was the disease, La Negura. La Negura was an unknown sickness in Port Au Prince, Haiti that was almost incapable of getting and very dangerous. In this story, a hypothesis would be: If the world was to end, then it would be by the La Negura disease.
He is rarely using his emotions to solve the problems and having an acute sense of justice. He is going to the point where he becomes unsympathetic towards enemies and downright
I, the Divine is like Koolaids as an imaginative novel. It is a postmodern fictional autobiography; it is a work in progress; “provisional” and “shifting,” as poet Lynn Emanuel points out about life writing (The Practice of Poetry 67). Emanuel states the provisional and shifting as “that is all vision: revisions coming at us at the speed of light. Writing presents to us the nullity of ourselves, the inaccuracies of our perceptions of selfhood. We are both nothing and everything – provisional, shifting, molten” (The Practice of Poetry 67).
