Sentimental fiction

Sentimental fiction: The sentimental novel or the novel of sensibility is an 18th-century literary genre that celebrates the emotional and intellectual concepts of sentiment, sentimentalism, and sensibility. Emphasis is placed on the moral aspects of the novel in order to be accepted: novelists seek to present virtue in the best form and vice in the worst form possible. In sentimental fiction, the empire of the mother and the values given by bonds of womanhood are also sustained. Pre-Civil War women's fiction celebrates matriarchal institutions and idealizes the time of blissful connection between mother and child.

Primera parte: El viaje del Independence

The narrator bought a ticket for the ship Independence. The ship travelled from Charleston to New York. We sailed on 15th June but, because of certain circumstances, the ship didn't sail until almost a week later.

On the ship travelled a narrator's friend with his family, Mr. Cornelius Wyatt. He had reserved three cabins, but he travelled with his wife and his two sisters. The narrator thought that the third cabin must be for a servant, but there wasn't a servant, so he thought that they had extra baggage: an oblong, wooden box. He thought that Mr. Wyatt had bought the famous painting The Last Supper.

Reducciones en educación y sanidad pública

At present, we are living a situation of reductions in education and public health.

Causas económicas

On the one hand, the main reason to implement reductions is the economic crisis. The government has to take measures to fight against economic problems in our country because they think that reductions are the best solution at this moment.

Consecuencias para las familias

On the other hand, reductions in public health and education can create big problems for middle-class families. Politicians should think about other reductions; for example, they could reduce their own salaries.
