I think the four moments in a person’s life that Eldorado poem petrays are:
ReplyDelete1. The first moment is Youth. When people propose themselves several goals to reach with entusiasm.
2. The second one is medium stage when people show perseverance to reach the goals.
3. The third momet is the adult stage when people had lost a great time of their life trying to reach their goals, without enjoying it.
4. And the last moment is the end of life, it means death.
I’m searching a better life with an economic estability. I want to have a good job, get married and start a new family. I want to help another people and be a better person. I would like to travel and know a lot of places. I have heard that only what we have eaten, danced or traveled is that we will keep when we die.
I think that depend of the things we propose to reach, we will reach it. We have to propose things that are into our posibilities, things that we can reach putting in them our heart. By being persistents we can reach all that we propose to reach.
The theme on the piece of paper I got talks about perseverance but as a bad thing because the knight spent his whole life searching for something until he dies, alone without nothing. Perseverance has been something important in my life because thanks to that, God and the support of my family I can reach several things. I think we have to be persistents in the way to reach our goals but without keeping away our values, or the things really important as family, friends, health and enjoy life.

ReplyDelete1. The first moment is when people are Young and we are prepare for a long Journey: the life and our goals and you are strength and want to pursuit you goals.
The second show us the importance to take the right decisions on time, the time goes by, and we getting old.
The Third, when you grow up. Only you know if you fulfilled your goals.
The fourth, when you die. Part of the life, we can do anything about it.
2. I want for my life: a Good job, my own house. I am preparing for be a teacher help people and motivate them to talk English. I have no plans to live in another country but I would like to visit Colombia and Spain.
3. I think we can reach our goals; if we focused every day on the goal, remember what I want. The bad things are so easily to do, also the bad decisions, the Good things are never easy they require sacrifice, it is a constant fight. A famous star of sport said: “Never die easy, die hard” (Walter Payton) so I stayed with that quote.
4. The piece of paper I got is perseverance: well, the Knight fails to understand the cause of his happiness. He laments his failure, never having found Eldorado he show perseverance and he continue to searching the treasure. We don’t have to lose our perseverance that’s important because we are not invencibles, sometimes we make mistakes, and we have to learn about that mistake for the future. Perseverance help us to stand up and stay focused on our goal. Perseverance is something that never disappear and help u in that situations when we feel without motivation.

ReplyDelete1. The first moment in the poem is a person is young and prepares for life looking for the happiness, the Second moment is when we see our porpuse or goals made and we are happy or sad about the result. The third moment is when we are in the end of the our live and the fourth momenti is when we are after the death.
2- when we are still young, we search a purpose for our life. about me, I search a good Job, learn to dance Folk dance, I want to be a dance folk instructor, I want to be a teacher because the people in Hondurasneed to speak English and other lenguages. I want my own house.
3- I Think I if we persevere and we take good decision, we would get what we want in the life. We to be constant and disciplined, we neeed never to give up, we need to cling our dreams, we need to see the goals not the difficulties, we neeed to se brave.
4-The pace or paper is about the Isolation of the gallant Knight in the poem. I think that at some point in the life, I felt in isolation because everyone went through difficulties the make us feel that we can’t fulfill our dreams, but I see the goals not the difficulties, I need to be BRAVE, The Isolation is a part of the our live, We need to go through that part, we to go through moments of the DIFFICULTIES because only then will we get our dreams

ReplyDeleteI think that the four moments in a person's life that the poem portrays are:
1. first when someone is following his own dream.
2. then when you see the time is passing in front of you, and then look around you ansking yourself how much time have you lost in the same thing.
3.next when you reflect about the thinks, and thinking if you can find a hope to find your goal.
4. and finally when you are reflecting about everything, you realize that it's too late.
......................................................................
A lot of thinks, like a person how really love the way that I`m. a good job, have my own company and finally have a healty life.
......................................................................
I think that a lot of things in this life can happen and if you are focus in your goal and you believ in yourself you have everything, But we need to know that sometime life is not easy as the tv show to us, in the real life you need to fight, sacrifice and effort for all that you want. But when you are arrivig to the goal there you will know that everything was worth it.
...................................................................... Probably I would apply this in each process in my life,because the poem show me, when how sometime we lost grate moments for stay searching something. I think that is something that make me feel clinging maybe for a long time being this something that does not allow me continuing in some personals points. And the simple facts that i´m attached to this is cause it to get a longer and do not get anything.

ReplyDelete1. Person’s life that Eldorado poem portrays are:
I think the first one is “Young”, when young people start looking for their goals in life.
The second one is when people show perseverance to reach the goal even though there’s a long journey to pass through.
The third one is when people waste all their life looking for something and forget what it’s really important “enjoy life”.
And the last one is when people are near to die and they recognize that their life just pass away and they lost the opportunities to do something different.
2. I’m looking for success in general. I want a successful life, a good job enjoying my work. I want to be happy, find someone who spend my life in happiness. I want to be someone who helps others. I believe in God so I want to go to the heaven.
3. I can’t say a certainty yes, but I hope so. I only can work for it and believe into myself, trying to do my best in every part of my life and focus in that every single day but without wasting all my energies in that, it’s good to have goals but is better when we are reaching for it while we’re enjoy life too.
4. I think on the piece of paper means in my life “One day a at time”. I know that sometimes it’s hard to be perseverant, and I can get lost quickly, so I have the ideology “live my life as if it were the last” without losing my purpose in life. Every day it’s an opportunity to improve. For example if I failed at something, tomorrow I won’t do the same.

ReplyDelete1. I think the four moments are:
ReplyDeletea. That person begins his journey with the hope of finding what he is looking for soon; he begins with much animosity to pursue that dream.
b. He realizes that a long time since he began to follow his dream, he realizes that he has aged.
c. When you notice that you are old, your energies diminish and you hope to find that place too; He knows that death is near and he begins to despair and ask where that place is.
d. Death finally catches him and he can’t find that place.
2. I’m currently looking for my personal achievement, to graduate and have a job to improve my economic stability, enjoy what I do and that this brings me good benefits.
3. I think that yes, I believe that the only limit we have in life is ourselves.
Of course, from time to time there may be many obstacles, but we decide if that makes us stronger or weaker.
4. I think the poem applied in the life of many and it’s a reality since, in my case I apply it because I can realize that in life you have to think well to act and follow , like the character of ELDORADO , follow our dream to the end.

ReplyDeleteThe first moment in the poem is tha people have been looking for happiness even in opposition.
2. The second moment is when the person does thinkgs with effort but sometimes does not seal to achieve where we wanted to go and we get sad.
3.The third moment is when a person in the exhausted secten life that lost the possibility of achieving what he wanted.
4.The fourth moment is when we are at the end of our lives.
2.Achieve all my goals and dreams that I have in my life like graduation have a good job a car travel to other countries.
3.Of course if you can achieve it with a lot of effort and dedication always looking for that goal that you have proposed.
4.In the paper is talks about insolation in my life it applies that sometimes at some point in our life we focus alone we believe that nobody is with us that the people that we loved the most are no longer on our side because we sometimes go to the people obsessed by dreams we want to reach and neglect those people who love usand when we realize it is already too late always fight for what you want without neglecting those people who are the most important thing in life.
Hello,
ReplyDelete1. I think that the four moments are:
A. Was a man very happy searching a life hope better and a treasure.
B. Was a strong man, but his soul was empty, also he was old.
C. He felt disappointment, because, he doesn't found something like El Dorado. He was very tired and he lost her hopes. Also, the death was over him.
D. his soul was dying and his hope disappeared and his body was walking to found his treasure. He never found his happiness and died.
2. Life is too short, but my happiness and hope live in my, I love my life and I hope someday my dreams come true. One of my big dreams is: “I want to be a great English Teacher". Also, I want to travel for the world, I like to know other customs and I am to show how big I am.
3. I think that:
YES, We can. I think the life is a gift and we need to enjoy it a lot, but we have to work very hard to found what we are seeking. In the life there is happiness, sadness and a lot of problems. It doesn’t easy. We are champions and we have a lot of to give.
4. The poem ElDorado, In my life is very important, because, is an example to follow and is the reality. We live in the world where the people don't seek their dreams. In this life the most important is yourself. Never give up continue to the end. Our best gift is to see all the dreams come true. Get up and continue while you live, the best come soon.
Thanks Mr. Monge for your excellent projects!
1.I think that the four moments in a person’s life that the poem portrays are:
ReplyDeleteThe first moment is youth. When you set your goals and your dream is to reach and achieve the goal.
The second moment is when you show attitude trust and above all believe in yourself to reach that goals that dream.
The third moment is when, maybe we have failed trying to reach that dream that goal knowing that life follows that the dreams there are to continue fighting and achieve them.
And the last moment of life is when we realize that we have become los and that you never achieved that goal that dream.
2. I think we all have a dream in life, and mine is to become a great teacher of English, to have my own house, to know other countries, to know other cultures, other languages and to put my Honduras up.
3. I think that if you set your mind, you will achieve your goal, it is not enough to dream it or imagine it, but putting it into practice, try harder, study and put everything in you to achieve that dream.
4. For me the piece of paper means that we must "be better in life" if we are failing in something, we must improve it, trust in yourself that if you can achieve your dreams, that others say you can not or that you are less than others , do not let others smash your dreams because nobody is better than another we are all the same and we can all achieve what we propose in life, so achieve your dream and live a happy life.

my first great moment in life was when I graduated high school and I was already going to my first grade I felt a lot of emotion porwie
ReplyDeletemy second great moment was the 6th grade graduation I thought I would not pass the anthem because I had not studied almost anything but I managed to pass and with good grades and it was great all my friends were still my classmates
My 3 memorable moment was when I decided to leave the school to be able to enter another that was much better, and to learn more than what I was learning, it was great to meet new friends new things
the fourth was when my son was born, it was super shocking. I did not imagine being a mom at such a young age but I loved him since I knew I was in my womb was the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me.
now in my adolescence I want to be a successful professional, follow in the footsteps of my mom to become a successful woman to give a super example to my son
Yes, of course, we can all achieve the success we dream of by doing our part, striving every day more and making everything worthwhile in our work and educational environment!
I feel that the part of the poem that I play in our lives deals with the shadow that haunts us with our problems that overwhelm us that we feel that we can not leave that is the end of everything, but not in reality, things are not always like that. that make us feel that way but there is always a solution only is to put our part of our effort to know how to face things and not get discouraged, so you have to always be positive
In the first is a person who is pursing his dreams a brave person who wears his armas to face life and achieve what he seeks.
ReplyDelete2) un the second moment is a person who after having put all their effort into something and maybe perhaps alrready tired of fighting for it.
3) the third is a person alrready tired of not seeing what dreamed so much, tries to take refuge in hopes that keep your Dream Alive.
4) the last is the end to the unexpected maybe that was not what really said but the opportunites anded and only remoins to accept your destiny when you have reached the end.
2) when a person is young take the time to achieve their goals, looking for a better future to face life.
3) that depends on everyone, because if we are positive and we can achieve it,because i think that each person chooses whether or not they are looking for because if you propuse whit care courage and struggle you can achieve anything you want remember that fighting is the best way to achieve tomorrow's success.
4) since i was little i had dreams, that have always made me live better smiling happy whit all the trumps to succed however i have not always had the privilegie of achieving everthing i wanted i failed in the attempt or i just did not try.but as a time goes on i reslized that maybe it was worth doing.but i also realized that it is alrready too late.

A. I think the four moments in a person’s life are:
ReplyDelete1. when you’re young you waste your time in vain things.
2. When you’re old and you realize to lost your life for something that doesn’t exist.
3. When you die you will find the treasure.
4. And the last when you follow your dreams.
B. I’m searching be happy and enjoy my life in a beautiful place.
C. I think is possible when you want you can fight for dreams. Although the road is hard.
D. The theme on the piece of paper is the Perseverance. In the poem Eldorado I think the knight spent his life searching a place that doesn’t exist. He lost his youth and many oportunities to be happy. The perseverance is good when you reach your goals and enjoy with your family friends those triumphs.
1.-The first important moment in My life Was my birth, because my mother looked forward to My arrival.
ReplyDelete2._ My second importan moment in my Life was When I finished my school life, because I was an excellent student, and I had many recognitions.
3._ Third moment, When I had to decide my career for high School an importan decision in my Life.
4._ The fourth important moment in My Life was the time of my elementary school teacher's degree and at that moment my university life and with it many achievements.
2_ My main objective Is to be a professional person and therefore I hace a Menrality full of goals and goals proposed in My life.
3_ I believe that with a Positive and persevering Mentality, I can achieve it, and of course I always try to do things in the best way so l consider that I will achieve my goal.
4_The poem reflects in my life that sometimes we lose direction and we take the wrong paths at the same time we let the problems take over from our person and that is how they weaken us and make us think that we change course, I consider the mentioned shade in the poem it would be like the problems in my life and that's when we should take some time and analyze what we want and seek for our life.
Eldorado- by: Edgar Allan Poe:
Delete1. I think in this poem describing the life when we are young and we have many dreams. And so we look for each dream or goal to come true. the second part is when we search for our goals and dreams regardless of the obstacles. the third part is when we are old are our dreams are not complete or we aren´t found this dreams or goals. And when we are old we die and we lost all the time, but whe we realize is late.
2. when you are young you search for your dreams and goals. Maybe a house or car (money); or maybe for love.
3. its depends because when you are young you dream many things and when the road is hard you can´t to find all dreams or goals..
maybe a love or money... but we try to find all dreams; but we don´t have all.
4. In my life:
defeat;
It is something that happens throughout our life
when we dream we have tried to obtain something;
but this thing or dream is escapes from our hands. And
there we find the defeat is our decision if we want to advance along the difficult part or return back and forget.
what we once dreamed or tried to have.
This is to hard because the life is hard but we try that everything happens.

Describe the four moments in a person's life that the poem portrays.
ReplyDeleteWell, one of the four moments is:
First when he proposed to do many important things in his life such as wealth, prestige, etc.
Then when he had all the things he wanted but he was not happy.
Followed, when he realized that time had passed and he still did not have everything.
Finally, when he realized that what he does not seek and desire comes to him regardless of everything that we have, as death is and where we go after it.
What is it that you are searching in life as you are still young?
Do you think that we will ever reach what we are seeking in life? Explain.
Yes, I believe that all the good things that we propose to achieve always put God first on our plans. And if things do not happen it's because it's not for us.
Write at least 50 words explaining how the theme on the piece of paper you got applies to your own life.
Personally I think that at some point we all worry a lot about what we can achieve in life and we do not realize that time passes. and we are only going to live a few years on this earth and the important thing is to try to be happy.

ReplyDeleteThe first is when a person is young, prepare a long trip in your life as your dreams and goals are already set to fulfill it regardless of the sacrifice that cost that long trip.
ReplyDeleteThe second teaches us the importance of each of the decisions we make in our lives, as well as on the way to know if it is good or a bad decision that we take and think very well before making a decision in our life.
In the third is when we have a suitable age we can know if we meet the goals already drawn in our lives and if we fight for them.
In the fourth is when we have to start from this life and know if we are going to live in eternal life, since it is part or a cycle of the life of human beings.
For my life I am working on having a house, a car, helping my family, improving every time in my profession as a teacher, Finishing my career in uniersity, as I teach and learn more the English language in which I am specializing.
To be able to live in England or the United States, likewise to work for each of the goals or objectives proposed in my life.
Well, we can achieve all that which we propose in our lives, but as long as we strive and focus on our goals and objectives that we set, since everything depends on ourselves to fulfill or realize it.
A piece of paper which contains a lot of perseverance and not giving up so you struggle to fulfill it.
Since the road may be long but the reward will be great, every day is an opportunity to meet and learn something new that occurs in our environment, we must not give up improving each time as a person and always have faith, calm with us.
Hi Mr. after read the poem and saw the video i can answer:
ReplyDelete1. the moments of describe in the poem were:
A. the fist moment, was when he start his life, really young and brave, maybe happily too.
B. the second moment was the adult life, when the days pass and he doesn't feel like at the start, he is older and waste his time searching for the truly happiness.
C. almost in the end the death came to his life, maybe that was the worst moment, when he realized that El Dorado it's not a treasure is the life.
D.the finally death the only sure that we have.
2.What is it that I'm searching in life as I'm still young?
I'm not so young but doesn't mean that i give or the shadow is over my hearth like the poem say, I'm still have some goals like to travel around the world, make good things for people that needs, be a better person and reach my second degree. maybe the most important goal in mi life is Be a better human been.
3. i really think that the dreams come true when God decide it's the best moment for us, God never be late and never be early, so if we want something just need that we have the determination to do it.
4. my theme on the piece of paper is Defeat
sometimes the defeat comes to my life just like a lesson, the poem tell us maybe if you lose it's not a really lost, he found at the end that he doesn't search the right thing, but maybe he felt happy to finally understand, I really want to understand at time the right things to dedicate my life to search. I just now if God goes with me, I'm in the right way.
1/R: the first moment talks about the Beginning of each objetive in our live.
ReplyDeleteThe second moment speaks that in spite of the darkness or difficulties of life, we always have to Keep in mind to fulfill our plans.
The third moment talks about how we waste our lives fulfilling our plans, and when we realize it, we reached our old age.
The Last moment talks about the death.
2/R: I finish my studies, i obtain a scholarship and continue preparing myself more in my studies, i have a good job, I enjoy every moment with my son, I travel and know several places.
3/R: I reach my objetives, even If I have difficulties, obstacles and problems, i focus on my objetives. If I fall, i get up again and again looking towards my purposes, I'm not leave anything or anyone ruin my future objetives.
4/R: The topic that touched me on the piece of paperas is: shadow, he talks about the gentleman that he never lost the hope of finding Eldorado although he had many difficulties on the way to the passage of his whole life, I applied it in my life that although I have many difficulties, problems, when I feel I can't continue with. My plans, I sit on the edge of my bed and I'm thinking, I don't have anything to do.
J. Eduardo Gonzalez
ReplyDeletethey are
1- When we are young and we only think in play or our parents .in that moment we enjoyed the celebrations new year and birthdays.
2- that moment can be when we finish our education and we need think about our course in life and prepare our future.
3- when we work and we need put effort for have a family ,a house, kids,etc a sport car in that moment we have a lot of responsabilities.
4-when we are old is the last part in that moment we think about the past and the all things we were live .
2 well, in that moment I am searching a good life for me and my family i will have my own family too so we need a stability in work and make my own house maybe take different opportunities or travel to other place .
3-Mmmmm maybe that depend the our perseveranse of how many we fight for our dreams or goals everything it's possible if we put our max effort.
4-maybe can be when we focus in a bad direction , many times we don't choose the best option so we don't have a good comprehension of the things and we need a voice than say or tell us something for return to the correct course we need take help for other people for open our eyes a follow the correct road in my case i try to look the best option for me but if i need help i ask for it and continue close to that plan and forever we need to remember we don't know all that is a big mistake in the humanity. and i taked that part of the poem.
NAME: EMILISABETH CÁCERES SUAZO
ReplyDeleteI think what In the first stanza we see a knight, fresh and ready to go, starting a journey, or maybe we could even think of it as a quest. He is full of hope and in good spirits. This is evident by the line 'singing a song'.
The knight has been searching for a long time, many years at least. We know this because the stanza starts by telling us our knight is now old. He has also lost most of the hope he had at the start. This information comes from the phrase 'And o'er his heart a shadow'. He is no longer in good spirits as he continues his quest to find Eldorado.
Now things have become serious. 'His strength failed him at length' implies that he has died or is very near death, never having found his goal. A 'shadow' (possibly Death himself) appears to him and he asks where to find Eldorado.
In the last stanza the shadow explains that Eldorado is not actually attainable on Earth or to mortals. It is 'over the mountains of the moon' and 'down the valley of the shadow'. The final lines of the poem show the shadow encouraging the knight to go boldly into the shadow to find Eldorado.
