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.

Daniel of the envy and rage he had because his brother was with the woman he loves, kills his brother  And so no one suspects of him , he  buries the body of his brother under a tree not so far from the village.

REJECTION OF WOMEN IN SOME WORK FIELDS.

In this essay i'm going to talk about how is the rejection of women in some work fields, before i start im going to define what is women ,  is the word that refers to a female individual,Over the years women have been regarded as weak sex ,why? because long time ago the women had a very established roll that was to be the housewives and the man was the one who worked but one day the women began to think that they had the same capabilities as a man and it seemed unfair that the man was the one who worked, studied, etc ...so then started a revolution because women start to fight for their rights and for the gender equality, but that fight has lasted many years because it has not been easy, but today women are more included in aspects such as social, political and employment. But still the woman has not been included totally since there are jobs in which women still can not work or in other cases in which if she can work there is an inequality at the level of pay...
