New TV show –
Hall Of Fame
We are planning a series of documentary programmes on
famous people who have made a positive contribution to history.
Who would you nominate from your country?
Write a
proposal nominating ONE person from your country, and explaining why this
person is important to the history of your country.
Due to the fact that in my country have had so many
well-known celebrities in a wide range of areas such as science, politics and
literature; it is a tricky question for me to make an outline about the life of only one person but if I had to choose, I would say Miguel de Cervantes.
Cervantes was a Spanish novelist, poet and playwright.
He is mostly known for being the writer of the masterpiece, Don Quijote de la
Mancha, it is said to be the first modern European novel and the most published
and translated book in the world, only after the Bible. Little is known of his early years and about the
reasons of why he had to move to Italy. Shortly after, he was enlisted as a
soldier and took part in the Battle of Lepanto where his left hand was hurt. Coming
back to Spain, Cervantes was captured by a crew of corsairs and spent five
years as a slave. Eventually, he lived his later years in some cities of Spain like
Seville, Valladolid, Madrid, and Toledo and in Portugal.
I believe that Cervantes must be taken into account
for The Hall of Fame as almost everyone has heard about his work; some of his
books are famous worldwide. He has had a tremendous influence on modern
literature breaking the established rules of that era, no one else before had
dared to laugh at religions, royalty, traditional cultures and so on. Needless
to say that Cervantes, Don Quixote and Spain are bound together forever.
Good essay, have a look at the next two points. There're about clauses. Comma is not always the best way to separate two clauses. Read this parts again and try to come up with different ways of connecting the clauses. For example think of words to start compound sentences.
ReplyDelete1) He is mostly known for(...)only after the Bible.
This sentence is a rather long one can you find a way to separate it?
2) He has had a tremendous influence on modern literature breaking the established rules of that era, no one else before had dared to laugh at religions, royalty, traditional cultures and so on.
Similarly those sentences would better be separated by a period I believe, otherwise it makes it difficult to read.
