Meravigliosa Italian Narrative

This is a story that was kept a secret for a lifetime. One about an athlete who created his own path in a road where he became a hero and savior, these such individuals only come around occasionally. Such a character was Gino Bartali, in my Italian Secret the story unfolds the amazing and unforgettable story of Bartali, who was an Italian cycling expert, and of his secret mission to save Jews from the Holocaust during World War 2.

Since I came to America, I made great progress not only with foreign languages but also with my adaptive capabilities. From what I saw, read, and talked with my friends, I realized that I am improving more and more. In the past two years, I learned a lot more here. This experience not only broadens my view but also enriches my life. It changed my life for the good.

The Italian Renaissance was one of the most colorful, vital, and exciting times in history. Renaissance eventually comes from the French word "Renaistre," meaning "to be born again." The Renaissance was a revival or a rebirth of cultural awareness and learning among art, law, language, literature, philosophy, science, and mathematics. This period took place between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. The Renaissance in Italy flourished in the 15th century and spread throughout most of Europe in the 16th century.

Castiglione's The Courtier presents a set of female and male indications for being ideal or well-rounded persons, spread across four books of what was to become a Renaissance-specific manual for achieving the human etiquette ideal. A parallel is to be traced between these precepts that were drawn five centuries ago, and the current situation.

This last summer the Foreign Language Club traveled to Costa Rica, a Spanish speaking country; this was a transforming experience for me because I learned many more things than just Spanish. It was the first time traveling without my parents and that was a little bit scary. I just turned 18 at the time.

I moved to America from Albania when I was little. English was not my first language so, I had to learn it by practicing my fellow classmates' example. I was a part of HILT, High-Intensity Language Training, in elementary school to help my language barriers. Before middle school began, teachers thought I no longer needed HILT. It was because I had worked hard to get be in the same place most other students were in. In high school, I found things I was passionate about. In my sophomore year, I joined Future Business Leaders of America and became joined the mentor

A naturally tanned Riccio dutifully complied as he stooped over exposing his gorgeous stark white framed stark butt cheeks. Principal Reardon could not believe the size or the perfectly shaped rounded melons that came into his sight. The so-called Reardon dick responded by ballooning up in a curved-up solid eight inches of lustful desire.

Men in Italian literature are portrayed in this very bipolar value of either a positive figure, or a negative influence. At times, the father figure is presented in good light, as someone who was there to support their family, and thought of family as the most important part of their life. One of my favorite male characters represented in our readings, was the Doctor in “The Other Son”. He was a good spirited man, that helped the poor in whatever way he could, while also being one of the only people in the village that could read and write. This is the only doctor I will ever love because, he helped poor Maragrazia write a letter to her sons, that went off to America, when everyone else just played with her and wrote scribble letters (Pirandella 38). Another example of a good young man is Remo from Rosa’s story. He singled himself out early on, as the first love interest, and was such a Romeo as he “was waiting when I came home from the mill” and loved Rosa with all his heart (Rosa 134). Remo was such a pure good boy, that I thought for certain he would be the one going to America and taking Rosa with him. There was also the man that helped the two boys in “The Biography of a Bootblack,” that got them out of begging, and made them into honest men. He was probably the most generous man in all the readings so far, because not only did he adopt these boys, but he also taught them how to read and write, and let them leave on their own to America to make a name for themselves.

Dorian looked at his left arm, seeing the red markings from Vittorio. Widening his eyes, the markings started to glow. Sawyer wanted to shoot his chains out at Vittorio, to drain more of his aura. Knowing he wouldn’t be able to drain enough of Vittorio’s aura in time, he stood there hopelessly while the red markings continued to glow brighter. A neutralizer ball shot at Vittorio, stopping his power for just for a moment. Vittorio looked over to Paisley, who was barely conscious, delivering the last move. Not hesitating for a moment, Dorian’s arms glowed a bright white, preparing the last move. The white markings on his body transitioned to his arms, while Dorian’s aura became visible to the eyes.

The Significance of Mercutio in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is about two lovers whose families are at war and how the two overcome the family feud for their love for each other. Mercutio is one of the central characters in the play; he is one of the prince's kinsmen and is best friend to Romeo of the Montague household. The name Mercutio is derived for the word mercurial which means eloquent, active and changeable; Mercutio is all three because through out the play he changes his mood from a light-hearted joking to fiery insults in a short time. Mercutio is very persistent and is always ready to do things which again show the relevance of his name because of his

Arcangela Tarabotti, a Venetian nun and early modern Italian author, spent the vast majority of her life in an Italian convent writing various texts centered on issues of forced enclosure and the patriarchy. Throughout her lifetime, she published five works, but one of her most poignant, Paternal Tyranny, spoke to these issues in a uniquely powerful way. Indeed, Tarabotti focused on three significant main points: the hypocrisy of putting daughters in convents, the problems with male patriarchy as a whole, and her own interpretation of the Bible. She presented these points with the help of several rhetorical strategies throughout the novel, such as, her ability to turn around popular claims about women and apply them to men, her strong use of references to the Bible and popular literary works, her use of parables throughout the work to clearly give examples of her arguments, and many more. By exploring each of her arguments, we can see how she used these various rhetorical strategies to her advantage.

After having spent several years traveling with the U.S. Navy including a tour in Italy where I learned to speak Italian.

The splash of the cold puddles chilled Malvolio’s ankles as he trekked on through the night. The pounding of the rain plastered his graying hair to his head, and he cursed aloud as he asked himself not for the first time, if it was worth it. But of course it was. He had wanted revenge for so long, and now it was so close he could almost taste it.

Back then, I did not know soft skills were a part of my skill set. Until I stepped foot into my high school, into an academically-rigorous
