Miguel died a year after the second part of Don Quixote was published and is buried in the Convento de los Trinitarios in Madrid.

Contemporaries reacted to the work of Beethoven by using the word "masterpiece" repeatedly and praising its "originality." But it took even Beethoven some time to become BEETHOVEN, symphonic master and role model. The idea of dividing his career into three stages began during his lifetime and has never been abandoned. The First Symphony dates, of course, from his early, "Classical" era. More precisely, it comes from late in his first period, just a year or two before the personal crisis brought about by Beethoven’s gradual loss of hearing that is so powerfully reflected in the "Heiligenstadt Testament" and the "Eroica" Symphony.
Although all these wretched things are happening and will continue to happen, he still remains positive and grows happy over the littlest things. The extremely discomforting situations and events would make one depressed, angry, and very negative; but Olaudah proves in this story that with the right attitude anything is achievable. Even surviving life or death hardships. Some would say suicide is a cowardly way to go. I believe that if you're so terrible to a person to make them want to commit suicide then you are the coward.

Tsotsi: A Clichéd Redemption Of A Criminal Tsotsi is a cruel, ruthless criminal. Yet, with the use of effective filming and storyline, he evokes sympathy at the end of the film when he is arrested. The audience believes that he has changed into a better man in a matter of days. This is very cliché and typical of any film that shows the evolution of a bad character into a good character. I think that the audience is very naive for feeling sympathy for Tsotsi because he is a criminal that was involved with the murder of two people; Butcher and Zachariah.
