After watching the movie everything “Don Quixote” came to life. everything that could have gone wrong in making the movie went wrong. There was a situation where it began to rain in the dessert and everything had to be cancelled. They also didn’t have enough money for what they had asked for. the amount of […]
In chapter 27 Sancho get beaten up again because, “one of the fellows next to him, thinking he was making fun of them, raised the staff he held in his hand and gave Sancho such a thwack that he couldn’t help but fall to the ground. ” (pg. 714) However Don Quixote was just, not […]
