...Three works of literature, labeled immoral, unfit to read and even satanic, completely criticized for their use of vulgar language and “blasphemes” way of speaking their mind. What critics fail to see is the true creativity of the humor in Candide, the morality and kindness in Huckleberry Finn, and the passion of Don Juan. All three of these great works of literature have suffered the injustice of biased criticism and have been rejected from public schools, which wastes their educational potential. Candide has been place into the index of prohibited books, Huckleberry Finn has been banned almost every public school, and Don Juan has succumb to a similar fate. What people don’t understand is that these novels and works of poetry can show us more about how humans treat each other, how realistic some ridiculous things can be, and how we can understand ourselves. Candide is a novel written by the French writer Voltaire, it’s about a germen man by the name of Candide who goes on quite a journey meeting a variety of people, constantly running into political and religious figures with bad results. Meeting up with old friends and characters he believed dead, the novel consists of unrealistic situations in a comedic fashion but in the end, through all the hell he can say let’s just forget about it and move on in our life. This story can give you a real life perspective and show you that life shouldn’t be taken seriously, if a guy like Candide can go through what he did without a thought...

...Hines’ Paper I believe that the article written by Ruth D. Hines is an alternative view of reality through Don Juan’s personal experiences. The main idea of this article is how accountants and outsiders may see things differently. The article begins with Don Juan talking with his apprentice about a valley, he asks the apprentice to describe what he sees along with other simple questions. The apprentice answers with the first thing that comes to mind, which is the obvious and simple answers. Don Juan continues to steer him in other directions with his answers, forcing him to think outside of the box and to go against the flow of what others might think. I think that this article is showing us that accountants really do think differently than others. Don Juan is trying to make the apprentice think the way he does, the way of an accountant. He is trying to show him that accounting gives life to things such as goodwill and revenue at the time of realization. I think that he is trying to make the apprentice see things differently so he can better understand accounting in general. If we think of these simple things in a different way, it will help us in the long run when we come across these situations in our future life and jobs. With the knowledge of accounting, we can create an impression that we did not realize before. After reading this article, I too have started to think of reality differently. Although I have been studying accounting for a while now, I never really stopped...

...Journal Entry HIS/110 The Spanish migration to North America was an interesting topic in this week that piqued my interest. Learning more about this topic in the second chapter of US History through 1877 was a good starting point to keep my attention because it is something that I have been fascinated with beforehand. I used the artwork from this chapter because it is beautiful and seems to tell an excellent story of migration and the survival skills that were needed in this day in age. I researched more about the Spanish conquistador and was able to read on "Came Men on Horses: The Conquistador Expeditions of Francisco Vazquez de Coronado and Don Juan de Onate". This book speaks of any myths that may have been written or spoken of about the way the conquest of America. The Spanish was the first Europeans to enter the America Southwest. Stories about the city of Gold is what lured in a lot of people in hopes of riches. The conquistadors were fighting the decision to search for the city of gold or not. They did not want to have the burden on their shoulders of not attempting to search for it, and someone else find it if it deemed to be true. There were seven cities that were expected to contain gold for the conquistadors to search out. The conquistadors depended on navigation when it came to their needs of survival. This would be of great service to them when it comes to finding their way to their destination...

...based on greed, what makes this tale especially gothic is the presence of murder, incest and suicide. When the story begins, we are introduced with a case of murder by poisoning. This form of assassination was very common in the middle ages. However, later on we realize the true identity of the killer. What pushes the murderer to kill is greed; one of man’s biggest weakness. The mystery behind the true identity of the assassin is yet another example of dark literature. On the side, it is also worth noticing the gruesome details of the torture scene: “…the joints snapped audibly into their sockets with the elasticity of a bow.” The pain is so amazingly described that even the reader can feel it. Also in the beginning, we are told about Don Juan’s incest crime on his half sister. Nevertheless, the Portuguese insists that he is in no way allied to Josepha and that he is innocent. Even though the subject was never talked about in the older days because it was and is still considered a taboo in most societies, in this tale the act of incest is another major theme. Finally all the complications and deaths cause the father of the poisoned girl to commit suicide. This is yet another topic that was never spoken of during that era, since the church condemns it. These casualties and murders also lead to the breaking up of the family which is another reason why this tale is considered gothic. To conclude, the story of The Poisoner of Montremos revolves around the subject of greed...

...ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR Organizational behavior is the study of both group and individual performance and activity within an organization. Internal and external perspectives are two theories of how organizational behavior can be viewed by companies. Question that is asked in the Manager of Don Juan: What are the common problems that your company/establishment usually encounter with regard to the organizational behavior? Actually for now, we doesn’t have any problems with our employees but there are times where we are having problems in our organizations like misunderstandings, lack of manpower and tardiness of an employee. Of course, everybody has their own attitude, sometimes they are not listening on each other’s suggestions the reason why some employees doesn’t understand each other’s point. It is difficult for me to handle this kind of problem because we’re just in one team, and they don’t care to understand the point of each other. Another common problem is that although we have lots of waitresses, still, we are not capable to satisfy the guests without the waiters. We all know that men are more flexible than women. Our restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and also on midnight because Don Juan is also a bar and because of this, we need waiters more than waitresses specially on midnight to satisfy the needs of the guests really fast. Another problem is that employees are sometimes late, tardy, and stressed. As a manager, I’m always asking them what’s their problem and try help...

They set out downriver for St. Louis on the last day of June and arrived there within ten days. Chouteau's consolation, quickly recognized by newspapers all over the United States and by Jacob Astor himself, was that he had taken a steamboat higher up the Missouri River than anyone had done before.

Miguel Gregorio Antonio Ignacio Hidalgo y Costilla Gallaga Mandarte Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla es, para la mayoría del pueblo mexicano, el “héroe” más significativo durante el proceso de independencia. Ya sea por lo aprendido en la escuela o por lo enseñado por nuestros padres, este individuo pasó a la historia de México como una persona de rectitud envidiable y valor intachable. Pero, ¿fue realmente la persona que idolatramos como pueblo? Comúnmente pensamos que murió a sangre fría y sin consideración a manos del ejército realista. Lo que la mayoría de la gente no conoce es sobre el proceso militar y eclesiástico al que fue sujeto. Mismo proceso que nos disponemos a comentar. Antes que nada, es necesario aclarar que este no es un estudio sobre la independencia de México o sobre el movimiento insurgente durante el mando del Cura de Dolores. Tampoco es una explicación sobre la lucha armada entre el ejército insurgente y el realista. Y menos es un artículo sobre las causas de la independencia de México. Simple y sencillamente, es un comentario sobre el proceso militar contra...

...1. American Sport Movies There are few countries in the world in which sports permeate national life to the degree that it does in the United States. Sports are a big part of the fabric of American life. The centrality of sports in American life is amply reflected in the American cinema. For decades movie makers have successfully mined sports to produce some of the most inspiring, poignant, exciting and memorable American movies ever made. The genre of ‘Sport Movies’ established in the Fifties and the Sixties. At the very beginning it was hard to see it as an independent genre because there was a lot of mixture. There have been propaganda movies as well as comedies, dramas, gangster movies or even westerns combined with some sport scenes. So the movie industry defined three categories of sport movies. Category 1: movies in which the main part of the narration is about sport or an athlete Category 2: movies which tell the life story of an athlete Category 3: movies which use sport scenes to describe a special milieu In addition to that there are a lot of movies of another genre which use sport scenes to dramatise the story or to create a good suspense. The first sport movies were all about the so called American Myth of victory and glory. Fair competitions and the better athletes defeating the weaken. The fascination of sport inspiring the people was used to lure the public. Then in the eighties and nineties there have been made a lot of biographical movies...
