His first

    group of people. In the case of Jonathan Swift in Gulliver’s Travels and Voltaire in Candide‚ their writing is aimed at European society and its preoccupation with materialism. Swift and Voltaire satirize the behaviors of the wealthy upper class by citing two different extremes. In Gulliver’s Travels the yahoos are not even human but they behave the same way towards colored stones that the Europeans do. In contrast‚ the people of El Dorado do not care at all about the gold and jewels that align their

    The movie Road to El Dorado was modeled around the historical event of the Spanish conquest of Mexico. It was a movie that was supposed to be full of humor that treaded the line of being very disrespectful to me. The Spanish conquests were a gruesome battle which millions of innocent people were killed. How can you turn a tragic event in history into an animated film‚ what’s next an animated film of the holocaust? Very poor judgment on making this movie by Dreamworks in my opinion. Two men
