The lady of shalott

This essay im going to talk about how the values patience and caring are reflected in the story of The lady of shalott by Alfred Lord Tennyson .Before i start talking about how that two values are reflected i want to define both of it(patience and caring)  so yo can get into context .patience is the quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance , misfortune , or pain , without complaint, loss of temper , irritation , or the like. caring is a state of mind in which one is troubled; worry , anxiety or concern.
The lady of shalott is a poem (that is divided into four parts), the poem is about a women that lives in the island of shalott and the people calls her the lady of shalott but no one in the surrounding countryside has seen her , they know her only by her beautiful singing ,which carries over the river from her home at the top of a tower, the lady spends all her days singing and weaving , also looking city camelot through  her mirror , one day the image of a man appears on the mirror his name was Sir lancelot he was a knight and she´s drawn to him by his beautiful singing, then the lady sets out on a boat toward camelot becuase she wants to know him but becuase of the bad climate she freezes to dead in the route through camelot. 
In my opinion i think that the value of patience isn´t in the poem becuase the lady of shalott when she sees sir lancelot the only thing she want to do was go look for him becuase she get in love at first sight with the knight and becuase of that impatience she has to know him she died, becuase she more than anyone knows the risk of go out her island to camelot but she also do it for him. i also think that the value of caring is reflected in the story because when the lady of shalott dies her boat continue in movement in the water until it ends up in camelot and when that happens the people that where near go look for her also sir lancelot and that is a good action. this story also it leaves us an apprenticeship which is that we have to be patience  because if we do this we prevent to happen bad things , also that if the things didn´t happen as the way we want if because there is not the moment , time or place to have it and we have to learn to identificated  those signs that life gives us . also another aprrenticeship is that we have to care about others no matter if we know them or not in  the story it was to late to help the lady of shalott because she was already death but the intention that the people of camelot and sir lancelot had was what it really count.

THE MODEST PROPOSAL

In this essay I'm going to talk about how two values justice and fairness are or aren´t in the story, before i start i want to write what this two values mean , justice is just behaviour or treatment and fairness is impartial and just treatment or behaviour without favouritism or discrimination , this two values are the same thing, i think that in the story ¨THE MODEST PROPOSAL¨ aren´t this values because the story is about overpopulation  in Ireland that brings a bad economical situation because there where a lot of poor people and Johnathan swift the author(main character) proposed a new strategy to end this economical situation , He proposes that since there are many poor children and parents who have nothing to offer, it is better for the government to buy the children from their parents, feed them and sell them as food to the people who have money.  i think that Swift have good intentions  because he wants to help but the solution he is giving it's not the rig...

The bridge

In a very small town called lost lake that does not even appear on the map and very little adsequible, a group of five medical students one Friday had left early from their shift in the hospital and went to celebrate a disco after a night out. long day, after a long time being there celebrating and already very drunk they call them because there was a massive crash and they needed all the doctors because they were not enough with those who were on duty, when they heard the news they got on the car, when They were about to arrive, passing by the bridge they collided with a truck and they all died. it is said that at late hours of the night when you pass by the bridge you hear the voices of the five students and their laments and other times it is said that cars and people have passed by and they have not left that they disappear into the tunnel, many people who live in the area say that their souls are still in pain and that thanks to the bad energy of the bridge this has become a porta...
