Hey :)
I have a project due for Spanish class on Don Quijote De La Mancha. We can come up with something original or something that people in earlier years have done for their project.
So far I'm looking at just drawing a picture of Don Quijote and Sancho but i'd really rather do something that nobody has ever done. We can either do something about the play or we can do something about that time period in the story. If anyone has any suggestions on some good project ideas plllleeeeeaaassseee let me know :)
Thanks a bunch!!! :) :) :)
Peace and love to all :)

Beyond Metaphysics: Semiotics and Character in Don Quijote

Can't Post |

In Les mots et les choses Michel Foucault suggests that Don Quijote is the first modern work of Western literature because it reflects the new, post-Renaissance order of the relationship between words and things. Foucault observes that this relationship had traditionally been rooted in the concept of similitude, and indeed Fray Luis de León, a competent professional linguist of the sixteenth century, insists on the idea of a necessary, organic relationship of similitude between the name and the object named.

A few suggestions:
1. timeline with Don Quijote's adventures
2. write a play--Sancho and Don Quijote are brought into the present and they face culture shock.
3. stage an interview with Don Quijote and/or Sancho
4. research the food that was eaten in Spain during that time and bring in some samples (while playing music of that period).
5. interview people that have read the book and analyze their answers---use graphs, pie charts, etc.: I'm a senior in highschool. Sorry. I should have put that before but I didn't even think about it.: Peace and Love!
