An Essay on The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

In the subject of Writing, we studied what is a Literary Essay and how to writte one, to write we should write about the themes, tones,etc from the story "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", which we read it in the subject of literature. We shout writte It between 350 To 400 words. 

In "The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", by Robert Louis Stevenson, a doctor named Henry Jekyll, thinks everyone has a double personality. He creates a potion to separate the two sides and turns into the evil one, it is Mr.Hyde which takes him to death. The themes of this story are "The Duality of Human Nature, the Importante of Reputation and Rational versus Irrational"

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde centers upon a conception of Duality of Human Nature. Jekyll says that "Man is not truly one, but truly two." And he imagines one side is the "ángel" and the other side is "devil". So Jekyll creates a potion that separates those two sides, Hyde respresents the "devil" because he kills and commites crimes. And Jekyll is the "ángel" because he is respectful and nice. His "devil" started to dominate once he lets it loose.

Another topic is "The Importante of Reputation" it is shown when Jekyll starts to not get out of his house at night because Hyde will be discovered and everyone will know he is Hyde and when he has a place only for Hyde to live.  In many oportunities of the novel Utterson wants to preserve Jekyll´s reputation but also Enfield wants to preserve Hyde's one. So,after telling the incident of the window to Utterson, he said: "Here is another lesson to say nothing. I am ashamed of my long tounge. Let us make a bargain never to refer to this again"


The last topic is Rational versus Irrational. Jekyll is rational because he knows that what he is doing and planning, the creation of a potion to separate our bad side from good side is wrong. He is also irrational because separating bad side from good side in a person is totally irrational. Hyde is irrational because since in the story he represents a beast, he kills by instinct. 

As a conclusion, what I learnt from this book is that everyone must be careful with the things we create or invent, potions, things, problems, etc, because they may be dangerous and can cause damage and hurt someone or something, including ourselves.

For and against essay

In the past years until now, many people talk about the teachers that teach in public schools that go on strike or not attending to their jobs as teachers. Some people think this is ok and some do not. It is hard to see the difference in number of people that believe each side of this discussion.  On the one hand, people that believe this is ok, or most of those people believe those teachers have the right to strike because they are not being payed. They also believe that teachers have that right because they teach in schools where they are not paid but they also have to deal with children or teenagers that are not respectful and are hard to handle, and often get hurt. They, the teachers, tend to get pregnant or not appear at work at all, but once again people think it is ok because they are not being paid.  On the other hand, other people believe that this is wrong because those children and teenagers that miss days of school have less chances of a better future, those childr

Relato de un Nafrago & Life of Pi.

Lengua: La extraordinaria vida de un naufrago. Relato de un náufrago: Life of Pi: Velazco ve una película en donde un barco con marineros  se hunde. Velazco era un marinero de un barco llamado Caldas que iba rumbo a Cartagena. A causa de la película Velazco tuvo un mal presentimiento sobre su viaje a Cartagena. A Velazco por la noche le ordenaron ir a la cubierta del barco porque la recarga hacia contrapeso. En vez de tirar la recarga al mar, todos los marineros se movieron para el lado contrario para hacer peso, entonces como había mucho peso para el lado en donde estaban los marinos algunos de ellos cayeron al agua, Velazco fue uno de los que callo. Este subió a una balsa militar donde tuvo que sobrevivir en el mar solo durante 10 días. Hambriento y sediento tuvo que estar allí hasta que llego a una isla en Colombia y un señor y la hija con el perro lo rescataron y lo llevaron a un hospital. Un hombre llamado Piscine que  vivía en
