Helen Keller once said that “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.” In the poem “words” by Dana Giona, words are not sufficient enough to describe the world’s unique and stunning views. Humans use words every day, but it still is not enough to describe the world. Dana Giona claims that, “The world does not need words,” illuminating the fact that the world can and is speaking for itself. The speaker also describes that, “Even calling it a kiss betrays the fluster of hands of hands glancing the skin or gripping a shoulder.” Dana is comparing words to the way a person is feeling when being hugged.

Once John the Baptist baptized Jesus, the spirit of the Lord descended upon Jesus in the form of a dove, and said, “This is my beloved son. And whom I am well pleased.” This passage shows me that Jesus sees potential in all of our simply because he created us. It also leads me to think that he cares about us. He wants to ensure that we live right by…
The “intercambio” (24) between John and Salome produces a psychic change of Salome. Before she met John the Baptist, she was just a dancing girl, well-trained in the court to be an “objeto de deseo”, “Salomé era tan solo cítara destinda a sonar cuando ellos la tañeran.
