Emilia Pardo Bazan
Las medias rojas empieza en un monte con una jovencita llamada Ildara que viene de recoger la leña para cocinar, pero ahí estaba el Tío Clodio el padre de Ildara, este ignoro a la muchacho y se ocupo de fumarse un cigarro. Después la muchacha tira la leña en el suelo y se pone a arreglarse el cabello que lo tenia peinado como las señoritas de la época. Lentamente Ildara comienza a encender la leña para cocinar y se agacha para avivar el fuego ya que la leña estaba húmeda de tanto llover, de repente el Tío Clodio ve las llamativas medias rojas y comienza un discusión entre los dos porque en la cual Ildara le dice al padre que compro sus medias con un dinero que consiguió al vender unos huevos lo cual es mentira porque el dinero se lo dio un mercader como enganche para que se fuera a emigrar en un barco. El padre no lo cree y la discusión se torna mas fuerte hasta que Ildara le dice al Tío Clodio que ellas compro sus medias y que nadie se las va a quitar, entonces el le dice a Ildara, “¡Cluecas andan las gallinas que no ponen!” y comienza a golpearla. Ildara gritando de dolor se cubre la cara para que no le pase lo mismo que a su prima, su madre desgarro el rostro. Cuando el tío descubre que su sobrina trata de irse, él le dice a ella”¿Ya te cansaste de andar descalza de pie y pierna como las mujeres de bien?” y la golpeo una y otra vez hasta saciar su ira, luego salio afuera y se lavo la sangre y se quedo con un diente en la mano luego se fue a un doctor. Este le dice que tiene un desprendimiento de retina cosa que la muchacha no entiende pero que consistía en quedarse tuerta. Al final Ildara no pudo irse a cumplir su sueño gracias a el egoísmo de su padre al dejarla desfigurada con el propósito de que esta no lo deje solo sin poder cosechar su tierra.

Question 19

no oyes ladrar los perros

Answer 19

juan ralfo

• dad asks the son if he can hear or see anything in the distance and ignacio says no he doesnt
• they are traveling to Tonaya to take ignacio to the doctors
• The father says he is tired and Ignacio responds, “Put me down.” The “old man” is able to lean against a property wall for a few moments but does not lower his son.
• The father notes that he is not doing this for Ignacio, but rather for Ignacio’s dead mother, who would never have forgiven him for leaving her son where he found him. He says that his wife is what gives him courage, not his son, who has caused him “nothing but trouble, humiliation, and shame.” We discover that Ignacio has been a wandering thief and has even murdered people, including the father’s old friend, Tranquilino, who baptized the boy.
• asks Ignacio if he can see or hear anything, to which he responds in the negative. The father observes that Ignacio should be able to hear the dogs barking even thought the lights in the town have been turned off
• mother, who died when her son was a baby. The memory of Ignacio’s mother seems to make Ignacio cry, even though he never did anything for her. He says his son’s body was always full of evil rather than love.
• The father notes that now “they” have wounded Ignacio’s body. He notes that all Ignacio’s “friends” have been killed, only they didn’t have anyone to look after them as Ignacio does.
• two men arrive at Tonaya, with it’s roofs shining in the moonlight. When the father gets to the first house he leans against the wall. With difficulty he slips Ignacio’s dangling body off his back and separates his son’s hands from around his neck. Now that Ignacio is no longer blocking his hearing, the sound of dogs barking.

Question 20

la noche boca arriba

Answer 20

julio cortazar
-man is riding his motorcycle then swerves in order to not hit a woman; he goes unconscious
-When he comes to, he realizes he is bloody, his knee is hurt, his right arm is in pain, and his eyebrow has a large gash.
-He is taken to the hospital, where a hombre de blanco approaches him con algo que le brillaba en la mano
-he dreams with scent where he’s in the indian world- When he smells the smell he fears most, he wakes up with a fright.
-He just wakes up, and finds himself thirsty and in a cast.
-He has la fiebre (182), allowing him to fall in and out of consciousness.
-He is again in confusion, but soon realizes that la guerra florida había empezado for tres días y tres noches (183). He kills some enemies that attack him, but is eventually caught with a rope.
-He awakens on his back, naked and tied in ropes. He hears the rituals of the aztecas and knows he is ascending the steps of the sacrifice. He knows he will be carried to the top where he will be sacrificed. He wishes this recurring dream will end
He sits in the hospital, glad that he is awake. Yet he cannot manage to keep his eyes open; he sleeps and returns to being tied up, about to have his heart ripped out. At this point, he realizes that his “dream” is actually his reality; when he is about to die, ahora sabía que no iba a despertarse (188). Alguien se le había acercado con un cuchillo en la mano, a él tendido boca arriba, a él boca arriba con los ojos cerrados entre las hogueras (188-9). He dies.

Question 21

San manuel el bueno, martir

Answer 21

miguel de unamuno
Told by Ángela Carballino. Raised in a religious household and town, a firm believer in the Catholic religion. She lives in a village Valverde de Lucerna, situated between a beautiful lake and a solitary mountain.

Her brother Lazaro wants her to be educated in a big city, away from the crude town so she is sent outside of the village to a larger city. Everyone here knows about Don Manuel. His presence draws her back to her village where she becomes a personal assistant of sort for him. He is all about caring for his people, and they cling to him, and his magnificent voice, as an anchor, especially Blasillo, a mentally disabled man who hangs on his every word, representing the blind faith of the town. Don Manuel greatly disliked being idle, alone with his own thoughts.
Lázaro returns from the Americas rich and with strong feelings of progressivism: he is dismissive of religion and anything associated with it. He is determined to move his family to a larger and more progressive city. However, when his mother dies, her greatest wish is for him to convert for her, and just before she dies he promises to pray for her. This brings him into greater contact with Don Manuel and Lázaro realizes he is not like other priests. He eventually decides to convert to Christianity, or at least that is what he tells the town, and enters into the orbit of Don Manuel. He never misses a mass, and becomes a disciple of sorts to Don Manuel. The day of his baptizing however he confronts Angela with the fact that neither he nor Don Manuel believe in resurrection,and both are unsure as to what happens after death, although Don Manuel claims at times to believe that a person dies completely, he is fairly uncertain and vague at others. Don Manuel does know that his religion is the consoling of others, and nurturing the belief in an afterlife in his followers brings them consolation, which is why he will never tell them the truth.

Don Manuel is tormented by the possibility, and indeed as he sees it the probability, that there is no life after death, and lives in constant conflict with himself and with the prospect of suicide. The philosophy he follows, to which Lázaro has been converted, is that the non-existence of an afterlife must be hidden to others at all costs so that they may live a happy life. Lázaro argues that Don Manuel is a saint not because of his unwavering belief in Christianity, an organization Lázaro continues to see as outdated, but because he sacrifices his life for the happiness of others (there are continual allusions to Don Manuel’s Jesus-like qualities).

Don Manuel’s physical health gradually worsens; on the day of his death he admits that God exists, but because he has seen God’s face he cannot be admitted to the promise land (allusion to Moses). He wants Angela to continue praying for all people, and to keep her faith, which she is able to do even though her spiritual advisor can not. Then he is taken to the church where he gives one final sermon, begging that the people continue to live a peaceful and happy life, and continue on with their faith. Then they begin to pray, and as the reach the point in the Creed that talks about resurrection and life after death, Don Manuel passes, with Blasillo at his side.
Lázaro dies soon after, following his teacher. Only Ángela is left, and even she is not sure if she retains faith in Christianity. She writes a testament of the events that occurred in the town then hides them. The preceding chapters we discover are that testament. She alone knew the truth behind Don Manuel, and she feels the need to capture it in some way, but she is unsure what to do with this truth.

Unamuno then becomes the narrator. Angela had given him her story and he chose to publish it. He feels actions speak louder than words and the truth wouldn’t change anyone’s mind.

Question 28

what’s this quote from:
“Alcanzó a cerrar otra vez los párpados, aunque ahora sabía que no iba a despertarse, que estaba despierto, que el sueño maravilloso había sido el otro, absurdo como todos los sueños; un sueño en el que había andado por extrañas avenidas de una ciudad asombrosa, con luces verdes y rojas que ardían sin llama ni humo, con un enorme insecto de metal que zumbaba bajo sus piernas. En la mentira infinita de ese sueño también lo habían alzado del suelo, también alguien se le había acercado con un cuchillo en la mano, a él tendido boca arriba, a él boca arriba con los ojos cerrados entre las hogueras”

Question 30

-¿Por qué es absurdo que un indio sueñe con una ciudad moderna?

Answer 30

• “el sueño maravilloso había sido el otro, absurdo como todos los sueños” (67)
