The Expository Paragraph

"Una Tempestad"
A. Characters
1. Prospero was the ruler of a deserted island where there were few people. He ruled with oppression by being a bully to Caliban and taking away his and Ariel's freedom. He believed in magic.
2. Caliban was the slave of Prospero. He was mistreated every day by the oppression of his king. Caliban believed in the Gods of water, earth, wind, sky and nature.
3. Shadows were shown in the back part of the play. They showed the freedom that the characters wished to have.
B. Answers
1. The speeches that Caliban did during the play affected my perception of his character. In the beginning I just thought that he was a slave like any other that would submit quietly to the orders of his owner. Then I could see that he was forced to be the way he was and he was suffering so much that he had to take a stand little by little to believe again in freedom.
2. Miranda in the beginning of the play was very innocent. I think that as the play went on she became more aware of what the reality of her father was and how evil he really was. Also she falls in love and this changes many things in her emotional life.
3. Trinculo an Stephano believed that the island hat potential to make them very wealthy and that they could actually reign and exploit it.
4. The lights, the shadows, the sound effects and the props that the Dr, Isel Rodríguez used on stage made the play feel very realistic.
5. My opinion of the play is that it was very funny but at the same time demonstrated the essence of the message the author wished to portray, it was very nice to watch.
6. One theme of the play would be the oppression against the black and it was represented by Caliban who was treated like an animal just because he was black.   

The Descriptive Paragraph

Red Riding Hood
Who is the wolf? I thought as I walked into the woods. Grandma always warned me,
she used to tell me every day “Red, wear your cape before you leave the house! There’s a
wolf in the loose, I don’t want you to get hurt.”
One day I woke up, and something hit my window. A rock I guess, I was frightened
“What could it be?” Some guy popped out from the woods. His name was John, a guy who
I fell in love with. He used to climb to my window on the nights, and we used to talk until
the sunrise.
One day I woke up as usual, but there was something strange… Footprints, traces of
the wolf. They were coming out from my window. Was John the wolf? I started searching
for him, he was working in the woods. I told him we needed to talk. We went somewhere
with more privacy, and I asked him. He wasn’t sure, he didn’t think so. He was confused,
so he decided that in the next full moon I was going to tie him up in a tree. And that’s how
it was, I tied him up in a tree that was very far away from the village. But something was
strange. On the full moon he didn’t change. I changed. I am the wolf, I unconsciously ate
my boyfriend. I was scared when I woke up. I panicked, I was wrong. I went through the
woods, the deeper the better. I started to run far away from everything, crying my heart out.
Noticing I was the beast everyone was scared of, even my grandmother, even me. But I
suddenly fell, something hit me, an arrow. My grandma knew everything, she knew how to
control me. She knew my weakness, silver arrows and my cape. My red cape, the one I
used to hate it was the one who transformed me back into a human shape. I passed out…
I remembered in my dream when I was eating the love of my life, his blood running
in my mouth. I suddenly woke up in my house. Sad and desperate, with many questions and
doubts.  I asked my grandma and she told me about the cape, and my mother… the
previous wolf.
