He was once a soldier and then became a slave! Miguel was also a person who really loved to read. Miguel was a very talented writer. He had written many plays, poems, and even novels. But he had a particular talent for satire (the use of irony, sarcasm, and other things to criticize faults. This was not like humanism). Miguel was the famous writer of //Don Quixote//. This was a book mixed with comedy and romance. The king once saw a man laughing so hard he was crying and said, “that man is either crazy or he is reading //Don Quixote//.” Today //Don Quixote// is one of the world's masterpieces in literature! ==

How do the achievements of this person impact our society today?

Miguel Cervantes was a very experienced writer and had lots of experience in writing. One thing that made him different from other writers is that he exposed the flaws of the human society which was the exact opposite of humanism. Humanism showed all the good things about humans and what things we had accomplished and done but the things Miguel wrote exposed how we do not do everything right. Although, he showed these imperfections in a good way including some comedy and other strategies he had.
