Endgame by Beckett

Endgame by Beckett

“I love order. It’s my dream…” (57), this phrase gives us the idea that Samuel Beckett’s character of Clov (he is blind) wants order around the world because it is important that the man finds himself trusting in the human condition. This play shows us the necessity of the human being finding the answers to many questions as a constant reference to the end of the world. For example this phrase shows us that Beckett is talking the tragedies of life, no matter how rational is, it is still not worth living for that reason we need order.

Hamm, who is blind, cannot stand up, and maybe this way he cannot see the world as it is but he can understand it. Also, sometimes he is so pessimistic, and does not believe in the order of the human. But it is important to know that Beckett is a moral realist, because he believes in good people. The argument between
Hamm and Clov shows us the idea that Beckett is a realist and believes that the God that made our planet is brutal and does not guide the human in the correcting way. But the human can conduct his own step in the correct way.

Hamm; “What in God’s name do you think you are doing?” Clov; “I’m doing my best to create a little order” (57).The importance of Beckett in this play is his power through his words and his ability to make us think a little more compassionate and willing to share, because to be good companions to others less fortunate than ourselves make us a better human being. These two characters are mutually dependent, but they have been fighting for years and continue to do so as the play progresses. In this way we can see the reality of life because the master has a different perception of the world than his servant. 

Our America by Jose Marti

Our America 

Our America, “…Estos tiempos no son para acostarse con el pañuelo en la cabeza, sino con las armas en la almohada,…trincheras de ideas valen más que trincheras de piedra…”, Martí calls us to wake up and start fighting for our values and identity. He knows that if Latin American does not fight for its values, then nobody can do for us what we can do for ourselves. This phrase give us the opportunity to know how important it is to be together at this time because Latin America was the ignorant continent, slavery was permitted, and our governments were not working for the people, they were working for our oppressor, or they fought each other to get power. Also, the symbolism of this phrase gives us the idea that Martí thought that education was important, because the idea of education and the rock is just the oppressor. But if Latin American has its own education and it has a lot people believing in its values then,
Latin America can defeat any enemy.

            “Éramos una visión…Éramos una mascara, con calzones de Inglaterra, el chaleco parisiense, el chaquetón de Norteamérica y la montera de España…”, our integration and independence are important parts of Our America. Martí wants to inspire our young people to fight together, and not follow our colonist culture. Be independent means, that we should have our own universities because our professors can teach about our history and culture. Also, our governments need to know about Hispanic-America, our necessities and not follow the European books, or the
U.S. books. Latin Americans need to be together because Latin American have one thing that any continent has because most of the Latin American countries speak Spanish, and we know about oppression and tyranny because for three centuries we the colonies are of the same country (
Spain). Also, Marti trying to prevent the
United States this kind of leadership so we cannot be sold to the imperialist; but it is important, that we do not fight each other because in this way we can open the door for the stranger.
