Juan Fernández Islands Essays

The Revolution created a period of incredible change in Mexico. The forced resignation of Porfirio Diaz and adoption of the 1917 Constitution gave new strength to the middle class and rural population. As Susan Dever puts it, there was an increased interest in “nation-building rhetoric” with a focus on “patriotism, ‘our’ indigenous heritage, and the sanctity of Mexican womanhood” . The “our” she is referring to is undoubtedly the Mexican people, and one of the most accessible forms of spreading

On Saturday, November 11, I attended a performance of Cabaret at Dutchess Community College. This musical is set in Berlin, 1931 Germany pre World War I as the Nazis are rising to power. It takes place in a nightclub, the Kit Kat Klub and revolves around an American writer named Cliff Bradshaw and his relationship with an English cabaret performer, Sally Bowles. The cast features six major characters: Sally Bowles, the headlining British singer at the Kit Kat Klub, the Emcee, or the Master of Ceremonies

Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047 The instruments heard throughout the concerto are violins, violas, a cello, a bass, an oboe, a recorder, a keyed trumpet, and a harpsichord. The first movement begins at a quick tempo. Sixteenth notes are played constantly and are passed around the different instruments. Throughout the sixteenth not passages or mordents and other embellishments. The keyed trumpet plays lip trills rather than p laying fingered trills. The phrases of the first

as Evita, was the most powerful woman in Latin American history and encountered a great deal of attention because of this. She was truly a fascinating person who the people admired and looked up to. Eva was the second wife of Argentina’s president Juan Peron and served as the First Lady from 1946-1952. Evita is possibly the most powerful woman of the 20th century and this is due to her being a caudilla: a political leader, even though she was not directly in power and it was her husband who was president

In general the freedom heard in Carmen’s music is not duplicated in Don Jose’s music or any other character in the opera. She is a separate way of life and this is how Bizet successfully stands her out from the rest. Even Sally Macarthur in her online journal writes, “Carmen’s music refuses to be contained. It is used to mercilessly manipulate Don José, who is obsessed with her. By giving Carmen unpredictable, disordered music, she is portrayed as the opposite of Don José.” There is no chance for

Mozart’s Influence In the Enlightenment The Enlightenment was a train of thinking that started with philosophers in the eighteenth century. Philosophers warned against religious division, cultural division, and social inequality. Today, our Declaration of Independence is based upon these same values of equality. In the Enlightenment, music took a different shape. Music was no longer only for wealthy merchants, but was now open to the public. Composers noticed the opportunity and wrote music that

Chaucer’s The Pardoner manages to be a much debated and highly controversial character of The Canterbury Tales, criticized by Chaucer himself in the way he was described. From his ambiguous sexuality and fluid gender representation to his questionable lifestyle of abusing the name of the Church for his own purposes as well as his overall defiance of the social norms of his time, the Pardoner is one character that can be explored from various angles. The Pardoner is first introduced to be travelling

The book I, Juan de Pareja took place during the 17th century in Spain, where Juan de Pareja was a slave. This was during the Renaissance where art was becoming more popular. Everyone at this time, then started to believe science and how everything works and focusing on themselves even more(humanism). Juan was enslaved for about 45 years but was then freed by his master Diego because he felt remorse he did not free him sooner. Another reason was that he developed sympathy and mutual affection for

satiric butts in his version of Don Juan. Lord Byron's Don Juan is different from the original story. The original Don Juan is not native and seduces women. Two satiric butts that stood out to me was the hypocrisy of marriage and divorce. It stood out to me because of the history, how similar it is, and how different it is to today's generation. In Don Juan, marriage and divorce went hand in hand. Divorce was not very common during the time period of Don Juan. It also wasn't looked highly upon.

Eva Perón: A Woman with Controversy Introduction: July 26th, 1952, Eva Duarte de Perón, the first lady of the Argentine Republic, passed away from cancer at 8:25 PM at the presidential residence Casa Rosada. Soon after, her death was announced by the Subsecretariat of Information and the government declared national day of mourning, suspended all activities as well as ordered all flags flown at half-staff for ten days (BBC, Eva Peron Dies). During Eva’s four-day long funeral, the city of Buenos

Lord Byron's poem “Darkness” was published in 1816, a short time after having left England. By most of the critics, the poem has been considered to be a manner to overcome depression. However, his work might not be only a reflection of his feelings when the poem was written but also a great example of how different the vision of the world of the second generation of romantic poets -also known as the Younger Romantics- was in comparison with the first generation. By analysing this poem, numerous romantic

in Argentina? When president Juan Peron died in 1974, Dictator Jorge Rafael Videla came into power, bringing all military officials to government positions. This caused the “Dirty War” in Argentina from 1976-1983. The causes of the” Dirty War” in Argentina were the death of president Juan Peron in Argentina, the people of Argentina fought for power against dictator Videla and the violence that corrupted in Argentina throughout the war. The death of the president Juan Peron caused the conflict in

Peron’s childhood established the foundational principles in which she ruled her life. Born as Evita Duarte to unwed parents, Juana Ibaguren and Juan Duarte, she resided in the city of Junín, a part of the Buenos Aires province. A year after Peron’s conception, Juan deserted his family – five young and their mother – for his own wife and kids, as Juana was a mistress in her relationship. This circumstance left only one option for her family, they relocated to Los Toldos, a poor regional village of

Don Juan vs. Dex In many different cultures around the world, Don Juan can be described and found in many literature stories as a “womanizer”. The Trickster of Seville or in the movie The Tao of Steve, are two perfect examples of that. Even if those stories were written in different country and in different time, the idea of this Don Juan is the same. Can those two Don Juan be similar therefore or do they have their differences? I believe that the story of Dex and the story of the original Don

being a politician herself, as the First Lady she had a massive impact on her community and her legacy is still celebrated today. While Argentina has been represented by many different cultures and people, one of the most iconic is Eva Perón, wife of Juan Perón, whose presidency has had a lasting impact on Argentina. First explored in 1516 and under Spanish rule until 1816, Argentina has been under many rulers. Before the rise of the Peróns, Argentina was under the rule of conservative rulers, known

chose the film Don Juan DeMarco because in Mexico the "Don Juan" are men who conquer many women. The film began when John Arnold DeMarco (1994), 21-year-old, he had the costume of a fox, cape, mask, hat, sword, and he believed to be Don Juan DeMarco, a Spanish. John Arnold DeMarco used this costume but it was the time of 1994, the other people wore different clothes. The way the young man conquered women was to talk to them beautifully, was detail among other things. After Don Juan wanted to commit

most beautiful places on earth to me is Hawaii. As the plane neared the island, My eyes felt like it didn’t know how to blink at that moment as I was awestruck by what my eyes witnessed. All i could see was the unending grains of golden sand, as if the whole island was made out of gold itself. Shimmering blue waters that sparkled in the presence of the sunlight encircled the island. Greenery spread out all around the island, with patches of different coloured flowers that grew In a distant. When
