IntroductionThesis Statement: How Elis Regina s relationships influenced on her strong personality.II. Previous careerIII. Family relationshipsIV. Elis Regina s affairsV. Final CommentsDecades after her death, Elis Regina is still considered one of the most brilliant Brazilian singers. She dedicated her life to her music and career. It is interesting to notice how this character progresses from a cheery optimist at the beginning of her career, and we may have to filter our understanding of her life if we are able to believe that in the end she was not the same person who left Rio Grande do Sul to sing MPB. Despite her brilliant career, she was often classified with impolite terms. Caetano Veloso a famous Brazilian singer, once called her brilliant, but low (Echeverria, 1985). To understand how such a brilliant singer had a terrible ending, it is necessary to examine her family relationships and affairs to see how it interfered in her explosive personality. Elis Regina did not have an ordinary life. This brilliant singer became tremendously popular as soon as she started singing. Since then, she has never been forgotten. During the years of her life she had to go over financial problems, some marriages, an abortion, and also had three children. Unfortunately, she decided to end up her life with alcohol and cocaine intoxication when 36 years old (Kiechaloski, 1984). Elis Regina was born in Porto Alegre, in May 17, 1945. She lived in working-class family (Kiechaloski, 1984) and was the daughter of Romeu, a workman, and Ercy, the mother, was a made. Elis also had a brother called Rogerio. She started her career when 11 year-old due to her grandmother s persistence, and the first presentation was on a children s radio show, called O Clube do Guri. In 1959, Elis Regina recorded her first album, and an embarrassing situation was when at school a teacher called her bitch because she was singing in the radio. Some say that at this time, she was insecure, shy, unsympathetic, and a prepotent woman.Realizing that in Porto Alegre she could not go further, in 1964 she leaves to Sao Paulo to sing at Beco das Garrafas. At this time, her financial situation was getting worse. This happened because she needed to provide financially the father (who was unemployed and could not find a job due
to his age), and the rest of the family left in Porto Alegre who depended on her money (Echeverria). During the years, Romeu made from her daughter s career a way to earn money and became addicted to alcohol. Elis frequently charged the father in the same way as the brother, saying that they needed to care of their own lives. When 19, she was not as quiet and shy as before, and the song Arrastao launched her career for a national audience since it was broadcast alive for the whole country. From that moment, her popularity rocketed, and she became the most popular and best-paid singer in the country at the age of 21. However her career was full of rocking, her personal life was a disaster . Solano, her first boyfriend, said that the intimacy with Elis and her family became worse when he went to live with them in Rio. Elis was very aggressive with the economical dependence of her family and mistreated them a lot. The relationship ended because she took an abortion and only after having it done, told him. In the `70s, Elis married three times and gave birth to three children. Two of her marriages ended in divorce. She was raising then, three children and providing for her parents. According to Kiechaloski the marriages did not take long because of misunderstood and gossiping. Her first marriage was to Ronaldo Boscoli with who she had a son, Joao Marcelo. Boscoli said on an interview to Echeverria, that she was disrespectful, and treated him on the same way as the father. The quarrels he had with Elis were most solved with fightings. "It was a delicious and dangerous relationship (...) we did strange and beautiful things (Ronaldo Boscoli).Later, Elis married Cesar Camargo with who she spent 11 years and had two more children, Pedro Mariano and Maria Rita. After the end of her third relationship, she began to use cocaine, but she managed to keep her dependence on the drug well hidden from the family and friends.Temperamental and moody, she was capable of fits of extreme generosity that could turn to moments of anger filled with paranoia. Vinicius de Moraes who was used to call her "Little Pepper", argued that she was a perfectionist and was frequently dissatisfied. In one of her first concerts in Rio, Gilberto Gil called her corny, and after her death he said:"Nowadays I know very well how an artist feels when assuming the importance of an epoch. I know now how this deep duality settles in a public person. You are famous, and have the power. It is a constant fight between being important and being happy". (translated by the author). In the 80s, Elis Regina married for the third time with Samuel McDowel. Unfortunately, the marriage lasted only 6 months. This came on January 1982, when she was found dead of alcohol and cocaine intoxication at age 36. Initially, her death was rumored to be a suicide, but there is no evidence indicating that it was anything more than a tragic
accident. Elis Regina was a real "Hurricane". In her constant search for her own personality, she made a lot of mistakes. Uncontrolled, she misunderstood with most of her friends, family and herself. She threw herself in her wishes and desires without thinking in the consequences of her acts. She did what she wanted, she said what came to the mouth, screamed, quarreled, and did not tolerate insults. Once Elis said; "Need I accept everyone that comes to me?. This wild search for personality, the lack of control from the family and her explosive relationships, unfortunately, lead her to follow on the wrong road. The cocaine and the alcohol killed her before she could find her own. ReferencesKiechaloski, Zeca. Elis Regina. Porto Alegre: Tche/RBS, 1984.Echeverria, Regina. Furacao Elis. Sao Paulo.

After teaching a practice lesson this week, sit down and reflect on the experience using the five aggregates as a guide:Form: describe the classroom context in which you taught and your own physical presence as a teacher. What was the room like? How many students were present? How old were they? What did they look like? What were you wearing, and how did you feel standing in front of the class?Sensations/feelings: What do you remember hearing, seeing, touching, tasting, or smelling during or after teaching? How did you feel about any of theses sensations? Did anything make you angry? Happy? Sad? Confused?Conciousness: During the teaching practice, were you ever conscious of any of these sensations or feelings? Did you ever notice them in addition to experiencing them? If not, try to take note of them now. Instead of allowing yourself to be lost in a feeling or sensations, take a step back and reflect on how it feel. For example, if you became angry as a result of a student comment, step outside the anger and consider why the comment was infuriating. Be curious about the anger.Perceptions: Try to connect feelings or sensations to forms. In other words, reflect on what was going on in the room when the student comment made you angry. Where were you standing/sitting? What was the student doing? What exactly did she/he say? Perception is an important component of consciousness.Intentionality/actions: What did you say during the teaching? (Be specific as possible). How did you move about the room? Did you modify anything during your lesson, based on the situation? How did you respond/react to student questions, comments or actions? What did you do directly after the lesson ended? Andressa Cristina MolinariJuly 6, 2009Academic writingA casa da paixaoThis is a psychological novel written by Nelida Cuinas Pinon and published in 1972. The novel is a masterpiece that rejects all conventional ways of writing, is a long narrative that takes aspects such as character and conflicts, time and space which highlights the human being as an individual and not as a representation of the bourgeoisie. This modern narrative has as one of its characteristics a critic to habits. Furthermore, it understands the world through one character and it s psychological analysis.The author plotted out the story in a complex form to describe the life of a young girl seeking for freedom and self knowledge in a traditional environment with old habits. Apparently, it is a traditional story of a young girl, but later you realize it s complexity due to its strong erotic appeal which allows some vulgar expressions soften by a poetical writing.It is possible to make some remarks when it comes to the characters. Marta is the protagonist of the story. She is an orphan who wishes to discover the limits of her sexuality, Antonia is the maid. The story does not mention his name but there is a character who is the father. A man who is sometimes careful and others, behaves like an animal hunting for food. His lack of name reveals the social caricature
as a model of father for that society; traditional and careful with the daughter s honor. The last one to be mentioned is Jeronimo, a man chosen by the father to get married to the protagonist.The story starts with Marta, a sun worshiper, and ilustrates her provoking desire for freedom. Even though she faces a lot of obstacles imposed by traditionalism represented by her father, Marta wants to control her destiny. In a certain part of the story, to avoid committing incest, her father decides to find a husband to her daughter, Jeronimo, and the climax happens when Marta decides to have sex with Jeronimo convinced that he is her man.Talking about sexual behavior, Marta is described as a woman with appetite for discoveries and is frequently compared to a bitch. This comparison is a peculiar way to relate the character to nature, to exemplify; Antonia is compared to a hen, because of her limited function of reproducing. The story is set in the family s house, the space around it, and the city. The house evokes a feeling of prison, something that let the protagonist in agony. In this sense, she prefers nature, where the feeling of freedom contributes for her to act the way she desires and finally the city, another alternative of freedom. All the elements are directly linked to the house where the story takes place. The spaces where the story happens, guides not only the plot, but also the feelings of the characters.Marta s body is revealed as A casa da paixao, which evokes Love, freedom and eroticism. This eroticism for Nelida, is a game that catches the reader s eyes, bringing a reflection about human creation. The book gives the woman an extraordinary independence due to the fact that it considers sexuality in the same way as love. The elements of nature and Martas feelings are deeply related, demonstrating all kinds of sensations and fantasies. In this book, the author is concerned with the reality of women who are subdued not only by the male in a vision in which control over the woman as an object of pleasure, but also the Christian view where the human body was seen as temple of reproduction, and also the fact of having sex after a religious ceremony. There is also a critic in some parts of the story about the way women react to the orders that were given to them. ReferencesAGUIAR E SILVA, Vitor Manuel. Teoria e Metodologia Literaria.

They were puritans and believed that all events even the casual ones, were a part of God s plan. They had a historic mission, they were chosen by God to create a community. The first plantation was governed by William Bradford. They first tried to have the community in Holland, but failing went to America because they did not agree with the Catholic Church, they wanted to make the church pure again after the dissolution. During the years, the idea that they would have a destiny grew in scope. Even after the dissolution of the first plantation (Plymouth colony) this idea continued in the Americans mind, what they called Manifest Destiny (they were chosen to lead the World) their discourse was that the land was unpeopled and natives were not human, which characterizes a colonizer speech. The American colonization has two foundations 1- belief in God that they were special people and that they were chosen (Manifest Destiny) (power), 2- extermination of the natives (death). For Bradford everything was spiritually, there were no social or political justifications. John Winthrop was responsible for Bay colony. Winthrop was Calvinist and believed that mankind was corrupted and he had no faith in democracy. He was convinced that America was a land where God had his angels and appointed them to maintain law there. Puritans were against Quakers because they wanted to live in peace with the natives and peaceful people; they did not like money and led a simple life. Roger William was against John s ideals and was persecuted. The puritan principles were hard work, independence and moral strength.ROGER WILLIAMS was also a puritan and wanted separation from the Anglican Church. His ideas differ from the above men, due to the fact that he believed natives were more polite, were sons of God. He said that religion conformity was killing men soul; he wanted to promote liberty and democracy to separate the church from the state.18o CENTURY- SCIENCE. Known for the domination of Enlightenment. It was the beginning of modern science, what weakened man s faith in miracles, holy books and in the divinity of priests. THOMAS JEFFERSON was the main actor of the declaration of independence. He was a deist, a religious movement among the upper classes who believed that God was the first cause and interfered in the natural world allowing it to run according to the laws of nature, but that God did not interfere in
understand nature, which includes the scholar's own mind and person.2. Books to study the "mind of the past": to read literature, to observe art, to study institutions, because books are the best type of influence of the past.3. Practical men to take action and to interact with the world; not to become the recluse thinker commenting from afar.To achieve this higher state of mind, the modern American scholar must reject old ideas and think for him or herself, to become "Man Thinking" rather than "a mere thinker, or still worse, the parrot of other men's thinking", "the victim of society", "the sluggard intellect of this continent".He did not care with what people thought and had no social responsibility.THOREAU recounted his two years spent living in a cabin in the woods away from civilization and materialism. He advocated living a simple life according to ones conscience, not according to societys repressive codes. He was also a transcendentalist and Emerson s follower. He believed that as a individual he could do without society, the individual was powerful. The most important theme in Thoreau is the simplification of life (DIY), the idea of self-made man. He was in favor of simplicity and this ideology says that you can do things, simplify your life using few things. He also says that we should stay closer to nature; he preaches a return to nature. Civil disobedience asserts the need to prioritize one's conscience over the dictates of laws. It criticizes American social institutions, most prominently slavery. Government rarely proves itself useful and that it derives its power from the majority because they are the strongest group, not because they hold the most legitimate viewpoint. He contends that people's first obligation is to do what they believe is right and not to follow the law dictated by the majority. When a government is unjust, people should refuse to follow the law and distance themselves from the government in general. A person is not obligated to devote his life to eliminating evils from the world, but he is obligated not to participate in such evils. This includes not being a member of an unjust institution (like the government). Thoreau further argues that the United States fits his criteria for an unjust government, given its support of slavery and its practice of aggressive war. Thoreau refused to pay taxes and spent a night in jail. But, more generally, he ideologically dissociated himself from the government, and refusing to participate in his institutions. According to Thoreau, this form of protest was preferable to advocating for reform from within government; he asserts that one cannot see government for what it is when one is working within it. State is unjust, and those who agree with society become confederate of the state. POE writes Gothic literature, a genre that rose with Romanticism. explores the dark side of human experiencedeath, alienation, nightmares, ghosts, and haunted landscapes. American Gothic literature dramatizes a culture plagued by poverty and slavery through characters afflicted with various forms of insanity and melancholy.The philosophy of composition elucidates a theory about
how good writers write when they write well. He concludes that length, "unity of effect" and a logical method are important considerations for good writing.Length Poe believed that all literary works should be short. "There is," he writes, "a distinct limit... to all works of literary art - the limit of a single sitting." He especially emphasized this "rule" with regards to poetry, but also noted that the short story is superior to the novel for this reason.Method Poe dismissed the notion of artistic intuition and argued that writing is methodical and analytical, not spontaneous. He writes that no other author has yet admitted this because most writers would "positively shudder at letting the public take a peep behind the scenes... at the fully matured fancies discarded in despair... at the cautious selections and rejections."Unity of effect" The essay states Poe's conviction that a work of fiction should be written only after the author has decided how it is to end and which emotional response, or "effect," he wishes to create, commonly known as the "unity of effect." Once this effect has been determined, the writer should decide all other matters pertaining to the composition of the work, including tone, theme, setting, characters, conflict, and plot. The most important thing when writing is the effect you want to cause in the author.wikipedia, sparknotes and some books were used.

SER MULHER e entender as fases da lua por ter suas proprias fases. ' Cresci ouvindo as pessoas dizerem que tudo nessa vida passa. Quando a gente e pequeno, e facil de enganar; acreditamos em Papai Noel, Fada do Dente e coelhinho da Pascoa, e tudo muito mais simples. Mas um dia a gente cresce e sai do colo da mamae, nos entregamos ao mundo, e e nesse momento que descobrimos que nem tudo e tao lindo quanto diziam; percebemos que algumas pessoas, alguns sentimentos, alguns momentos, nao passam, nunca passarao. Ficarao para sempre gravados no seu peito, e isso ninguem te explicou por que. Ai voce descobre que la fora as pessoas mentem, enganam, difamam, magoam. La fora, as pessoas nao cultivam sorrisos, nao semeiam o amor. Mamae me preparou para um mundo bom, o problema e que ainda nao descobri como faco pra chegar nele. Entao se voce souber como encontra-lo, me de a mao, me mostre o caminho certo a seguir, nao me deixe caminhar sozinha.- Fe Miyahara - Chega de chorar. Pare de se lamentar sobre o que passou, e lembre que "coisas boas terminam, para que coisas melhores possam comecar." Antes de julgar a minha vida ou o meu carater... calce os meus sapatos e percorra o caminho que eu percorri, viva as minhas tristezas, as minhas duvidas e as minhas alegrias. Percorra os anos que eu percorri, tropece onde eu tropecei e levante-se assim como eu fiz. E entao, so ai poderas julgar. Cada um tem a sua propria historia. Nao compare a sua vida com a dos outros. Voce nao sabe como foi o caminho que eles tiveram que trilhar na vida. Tem beijo que parece mordida, tem mordida que parece carinho. Tem carinho que parece briga, tem briga que aparece pra trazer sorriso. Tem riso que parece choro, tem choro que e por alegria. Tem dia que parece noite, e a tristeza parece poesia. Tem motivo pra viver de novo, tem o novo que quer ter o motivo. Tem aquele que parece feio, mas o coracao nos diz que e o mais bonito. "E por isso que eu nao conto as pessoas sobre nos. Elas nao entenderiam e eu nao sinto necessidade de explicar, simplesmente porque o meu coracao sabe o quanto foi real. Quando penso em voce, nao posso evitar um sorriso, sabendo que voce me completou de alguma forma." Querido John. Ela sabia que precisava dele. Pelo menos naquela noite chuvosa e sem grandes esperancas. Mas tinha medo da compulsao. De querer ele sempre e sempre e pra sempre. E amanha e depois. E de dia, e tarde, de madrugada. E nao saber digerir tanto amor e tanto amor acabar lhe fazendo mal. So mais um pouquinho, pensou.
