Preguntas 1
the passage tells the story of a controversial historian who allegedly kept memories of famous people from the 18th century, the problem with these facts is that his memories were written some time later, so their accuracy is in question, on the other hand a professor cited in the document offers arguments in favor of the precision of his memory, which would rescue those passages in order to understand the social processes of the 18th century
this was my answer, I hope to recevie some feedback:
the chavelier was a controversial figure because the memories he wrote very specific details that no one can remember and also wrote very adventures that may be could be true but not at all, it had some specific details that are exaggerated, according to critics and historians.
First, the chavelier life is presented as a glamourous and extravagant life with parties and gambling where he loses a lot of amounts of money, this fact happened in Switzerland, but many critics say that if he was so rich and abundant, why he usually borrowed money and never paid.
Second, he wrote about many adventures, one specific is about when he escaped from a prisión in Venice, Italy. He wrote that he escaped by doing a hole in the prisión roof using just a piece of metal and he bribed some guardians. But the critics say that he had some political Friends that helped him to escape.
Third, the talk that he had with Voltier. Without ignoring that once they actually met, it is impossible to remember a complete talk with someone, even if he wrote the memory the same day that they met.
This is my answer:
The chevalier.
The passage is talking about a very iconic person named The Chevalier, he was a figure of European society in the 18th century and his memoirs of a very exciting life.
Critics sustain that his memoirs are not very accurate, the passage analyzes three of his writings.
The first one refers to the Chevalier period living in Switzerland, his wealth and his adventures while parting and gambling. The critics say that the Chevalier wasn’t actually a very wealthy person, it is said that he borrowed larges amount of money in order to sustain his parting and gambling habits. They don’t agree because they say that a rich person doesn’t have to borrow money. On the contrary, it is also said that back in the day it was normal for people to change assets to cash in order to gamble, so other people believe this is what he used to do.
Secondly, the critics talk about the conversations he sustained with Voltaire. The critics say they are not accurate because these writings were done many years after the conversations were held so, there is not much accuracy, things tend to be distorted. However, it is believed that the Chevalier used to write down every night right after he talked to Voltaire to keep record of all these conversations that he refers in his memoirs.
Lastly, the famous scape from the prison in Venice. It is said that he made a hole on the ceiling to scape. The critics say that it was impossible and that it was most likely happened to be a bribe to one of the guards with the help of one or some of his powerful friends in the high European society, instead of an intrepid scape. The thing is that back in that time it would have been very difficult to bribe the guards, they were very extract and also there is a record that the ceiling of his cell had to be repaired so, despite of what the critics say, there is evidence and counter arguments to defend the Chevalier’s memoirs.
