Everyone has been through some sort of situation where they can’t understand another person because of the language you speak or what they speak and how hard it is to learn that language, it takes months or even years to learn half of the easiest languages. In the story, “Inside Out” by Francisco Jiménez, the main character, Francisco, faces the same thing. Francisco can only speak Spanish and has to attend an American school but luckily he meets someone that can speak some Spanish, Arthur. Francisco's

He had lived with the Maya for so long that he was now quite fluent in speaking “Yucatec Mayan,” along with a few other local indigenous languages.[57] Gonzalo Guerrero's fate was never known.

are the characters of Gonzalo and Antonio. Gonzalo is a kind old man who is loyal and trustworthy. While Antonio is a power hungry traitor, having stolen Prospero’s dukedom.

In William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Gonzalo, an old lord, describes how the island could be a utopian world and how this world would function. He gives it characteristics that people enjoy but does not take into account how difficult it is for people to adjust to these sorts of changes. The world is as splendid as he can conceive, yet it has problems that he did not considered. These flaws turn his ideal world into one that is not believable. Gonzalo envisions a utopian world as a plantation where

The royals banished Prospero and his daughter to the island where they eventually washed up after their ship was sunk. Prospero and his daughter could have perished on the journey toward the island but Gonzalo supplied them with food and supplies to survive. While speaking with his daughter about their banishment from Milan, Prospero says “Twelve year since, Miranda, Twelve year since” (I.i 53). From this quote, you can tell that Antonio and the royal’s

Alonso's life, following the cruel and horrible deed he committed. Alonso, Gonzalo, Antonio, and Sebastian are looking for Alonso’s son tirelessly. Gonzalo begins to get tired and says he “can go no further”, My old bones ache” (3.3.1-2). Alonso understands Gonzalo being tired because he is “attached with weariness to th’ sulling of [his] spirits” (3.3.5-6). Alonso gives up at the task of looking for his son and encourages Gonzalo to sit and rest. Prospero is then reminded of how Caliban, Trinculo, and

and admonish them for hampering the ship crew‟s efforts: “Yet again? What do you here? Shall we give o‟er and drown? Have you a mind to sink?” which enrages Antonio and Sebastian. Sebastian curses the Boatswain: “A‟pox o‟ your throat, you bawling, blasphemous, incharitable dog!”. This again contains corporeal, gory imagery, and again reference is made to the tortured body (A‟pox o‟ your throat), and indicates this is punishment for the Boatswain is “blasphemous” and “incharitable”. These imply that

Having worked several years in the brickyard under Rosendo’s watchful gaze, Gonzalo worked his way up the ranks by demonstrating hard work and devotion to the Simons new dream factory. With time, his work catches the attention of his patron, Walter Simons, who on the eve of the Christmas celebration, appoints Gonzalo as head of law enforcement in the town, with a “silver star to his lapel and handed over a holster he hung from his waist” ( Morales

In the story “The Tempest” written by William Shakespeare, betrayal is a common theme throughout the story. Betrayal is apart of human nature it involves so many emotions that make individuals want to take revenge. We see this starting off with Antonio, he says “Let’s all sink wi’th th’ king” (page 514, 55). Antonio is showing that he doesn’t have any respect for his brother and wants him to die. Antonio was jealous that Prospero was the duke and decided to take his throne and property. Therefor

lives with his sister, brother-in-law, and nephews including Gonzalo. Tío Juan speaks only one language, a native Indian language. Due to this, he is very dependent on his bilingual nephew, Gonzalo. Gonzalo explains, “He didn’t speak a Spanish, just an Indian language” (Fleischman 19). Tío Juan can not speak a language that is known to many, like English and Spanish, and it is hard to talk to other people and build friendships. Gonzalo continues, “He’d changed from a baby back into a man” (Fleischman

The Tempest written by William Shakespeare is a play that has been transformed into a movie which is directed by Julie Taymor that takes place during shakespeare 's time period. The movie version is very dramatic. One scene in particular is when Gonzalo, Alonso, Sebastian, and Antonio are frightened by a harpy shaped Ariel.

prevent the shipwreck. The play " The Tempest" written by Shakespeare, tells the idea of struggle for power. The tempest is about a ship that has wrecked on an deserted island. Ferdinand falls in love with Miranda, while alonso, Sebastian, Antonio,Gonzalo, and all the shipwrecked lords search for him. Caliban is up against self pity thoughts because he should have got forgivin him. Throughout the events there are lords that get hungry for power. In life, the people that struggle for power are the

This was done in a few different ways. An example comes from Gonzalo Mendez Sr.’s testimony, where he describes the subpar quality of the Hoover School, Westminster’s Mexican school in the following way, “They do not care about our children.” (G. Mendez, 3) He is referring to the teachers at the school who seemed like

nature cannot be civilized, it can help humans to recognize their nature. In nature, hierarchy does not matter. A person with the power to control others’ lives inevitably becomes the top of everything. When Alonso, Sebastian, Antonio, Ferdinand, Gonzalo, and others come out of their cabins on the ship in the tempest and ask where the Master is, the boatswain says, “To cabin! Silence! Trouble us not” (1.1.17-8). On the ship in the tempest, none of the rules of the social class apply from the court

Naples, that Prospero was not fulfilling his duties and that he should be exiled- more of like set adrift in a tiny, rickety boat to die out at sea, and Antonio would take over as full-time Duke of Milan. King Alonso agreed to the plan, meanwhile Gonzalo, an overall swell nobleman, took pity on Prospero and Miranda, his three years old daughter at the time. He supplied them with food, clothings, and books. After they drifted to shore, Prospero has been raising Miranda all by himself and simultaneously

When I was 8 years old, every Sunday we would usually go out to eat. My parents ask Gonzalo, my little brother, and I what we wanted to eat. We both were craving some cheesy pepperoni pizza from Little Caesars. So my parents took us to Janesville which is the only place Little Caesars was at. Little Caesars was inside of Kmart and that's where my family mostly goes for pizza. My parents started to order and told us we have to wait for 15 minutes for the food to be ready. I just want pizza. My brother

begun. The play begins with a “noise of thunder and lightning”. The first word, “Boatswain!” immediately indicates that the scene is the deck of a ship, and the characters rush frantically in and out, often with no purpose. Sebastian, Antonio, and Gonzalo indicated the general level of chaos and confusion. Cries from off-stage create the illusion of a space below-decks. The mortal danger of the storm upsets the usual balance between these two groups, nobles and servants. The storm is not a natural

the victim. In this scene it is evident that Prospero suffered from both psychological and physical violence bestowed upon him by his brother Antonio. Evidently Antonio’s wish was to have Prospero and his daughter killed however they were saved by Gonzalo a trustful councilor who set them up for a prosperous life on the island. It becomes clear that the violence in this play caused by Prospero was brought upon him and is therefore influenced by his brother’s treatment towards him, again we see that
