0 votedOctober 17, 20142- My Japanese Midterm. I took my Japanese midterm this morning and to be honest I was nervous. I thought I was going to get stuck and just forget everything, but I was wrong. When I looked at my test I was like "Is that it?" I was confident to answer everything in Hiragana and Katakana. I am so happy that I am learning Japanese just fine. Now I wait to see if I was right. So far I still have my A in the class but it is only half of the semester so I still need to be on point. Thanks for reading everyone!October 16, 201401
Where does the expression "To be a Don Juan" comes from.
Firstly, I thought this expression was only used in spanish-speaking countries, but I have seen it several times in english writen texts.
Well, I am writing this partly because I am about to study it this for an exam, so it is good memorizing work, and also I can teach you something else of my culture.
'Don Juan Tenorio' Is a theatre play writen by José Zorrilla, a romantic spanish written in 1844.
It starts with the meeting of two old friends, Don Juan and Don Luis, who both had made a bet a year ago. The bet consisted in included how many women they could seduce and how many men they had kill. Doing They count it ends up with as Don Juan as the winner. But Don Luis not happy and defies him to conquer a novice. Don Juan accepts.
The notice of the bet spreads and it reaches the engaded to Don Juan girl's father's ears to his fiancé's father, Mr.Gonzalo.
The engagement is undone was over, but Don Juan gets to win his former fiancé, Inés, over who has been in a convent all her life.
At last, Don Juan fell in love with Inés, but Don Luis and Don Gonzalo oppose. They both fought Don Juan but he kills them they were defeated.Therefore, he must run ran away to Italy.
When he comes came back to Sevilla 5 years later, he finds found an unexpected grave among Don Gonzalo's and Don Luis's, and Doña Ines's. She has died as a result of the love she knew was impossible.
At the end of the play, the ghosts of all the men killed by Don Juan torment him, leading him to the hell. But Doña Inés intercedes getting they both go to heaven.
Now, you know where the expression comes from and why. Here I leave you a famous little piece:
"¿No es cierto ángel de amor,
que en esta apartada orilla
más pura la luna brilla
y se respira mejor?"0 votedOctober 11, 20142
