Before reading this short excerpt about Don Quixote, I had some expectations on it already. I thought it would speak about someone who has done great things for his country. I somewhat expected him to be a true hero or a political person who has done good service for his people. I also expected it to be more entertaining in a way that it would excite me and urge me to keep reading. Despite all these expectations, this excerpt has given me an idea of how a person’s imagination can grow and lead to so many things. In my opinion, Don Quixote is a risk taker. He is determined to learn about all things connecting to chivalry. His desire of being a knight excites his imagination that he would spend his days acting as one. For instance, he got a horse and named it Rocinante and he also battled with the giants but actually, they were just wind mills. Don Quixote is someone who is also adventurous. He loves to explore new things for himself that would make him more interested in being a knight. As for his squire, Sancho, I could say that he is of true loyalty to his master. He would warn him against danger and follow his ways. He would accept whatever his master believes in no matter how dangerous it could be. He is a man of simple words who can make Don Quixote laugh because of those then. All in all, this excerpt has brought me to experiencing how imagination and creativity can change a man’s perspective at the world. I would actually consider reading some more about this to give me the urge to enjoy it more.
