Cleopatra
Cleopatra, was born the 69 b.C. and she died the 30 b.C. she started reigning with seventeen years old with her brother Ptolemy, she married him. (was not strange because they conserve the royal blood)
The Queen wanted to govern alone and to take the power from his brother, this supposed a serious clash with the supporters of his brother- husband. She goes to exile in Syria.
Julius Caesar, intervened in the conflict to arrange the situation between brothers. Cleopatra is attracted by Julius Caesar and she tries to conquer him being wrapped in a carpet and offering as gift. Julius Caesar unrolls the carpet and see the Egyptian queen and falls in love. they will have a son called Caesarion.
When Cleopatra’s brother died and she was an absolute queen of Egypt. When Julius Caesar died, Cleopatra met Mark Antony and started relationship whit him. They lived through his love painfully because Octavius’ troops came to Alexandria and provoked the death of both. The queen committed suicide.
In my opinion Cleopatra is a powerful woman oh his period. In the past a woman could not reign alone. Cleopatra achieved to dominate a country without the presence of a man.
We can say that her power comes her from wit, insight and his beauty. She started a relationship with two very important men. She was converted in empress of Rome. With her insight she attained to be absolute queen of Egypt.

The ideas of Che are known as a “Guevarism”. His thought is related with the anti-imperialism, the Marxism, and the communism as a base. His objective is create a socialist society with own identity.
His greatest achievements are the triumphantly Cuban Revolution and the liberation struggles of the African peoples.

John Lennon

John Winston Lennon was born the 9^th October 1940 at Oxford Street’s hospital (Liverpool), during a German bomber.During his adolescence he bought Lp’s imported from United States. This is how he discovered Rhythm n’ Blues. In 1956 he created the Quarrymen, the band who will finally be The Beatles, at 1958.The Beatles became one of the greatest bands in the history of music. Even after they split up (1970), they still are.After leaving The Beatles, John Lennon continued his career in solitary during ten years.Finally the 8^th December 1980 at eleven o’clock he died murdered by Mark David Chapman as John Winston Ono Lennon (Ono for his wife, Yoko Ono). His legacy still remains today.

I choice John Lennon like a genius because I like his music and his ideas and because he removed masses and consciences. Also, I think that a figure who stills latent today after thirty years later of his death is not nobody. Finally if furthermore if all the people look beyond his name and they try to understand his words and message he could change the world.

Jim Morrison

Jim Morrison (1943, EEUU -1971, Paris) was an American singer, lyricist and poet. Was the lead singer and lyrics of The Doors. Is considered to be one of the most charismatic lead singer in rock music history. Also he is the author of a lot of books of poetry. He was an intelligent person who studied: literature, poetry, religion, philosophy and psychology. He was influenced for Nietzsche, Blake, Rimbaud, Baudelaire... He is a prototypical rock star: surly, sexy, scandalous and mysterious. In the March of 1971 he travel to Paris with his girlfriend Pamela Courson and took up residence in a rented apartment. Four month later Morrison died with 27 years for a heroin overdose in his bath.

I choose this character because I think Jim Morrison and The Doors change completely the music of the sixties in America. Also I think that Jim Morrison was a very particular and a little strange person for a lot of people but also a reference and a genius for the other people because he makes a lot of contributions in the world of the music but also in the world of the poetry.

David Copperfield

David Copperfield was born in New Jersey in 1956,he is an example of genius because he is the biggest magician of all the times. Constantly he schemes, he surprises, he entertains and he fascinates people. He began his professional career when he was 12 years old. He was the younger person admitted in “Magicians American company”. When he was 16 years old, he was already a teacher of magic in the University of New York and he silenced the assistants to Broadway's theatre with his favorite test: the "Disappearance". But he was not late in signing his first contracts in television. He founded the Magic Project in 1982 about a program of rehabilitation to help physically handicapped patients, whose program is in use in more than 1000 hospitals. His more famous tricks include making disappear the Statue of the Freedom. Also, Copperfield has pulled off some amazing stunts over the years, including levitating across the Grand Canyon and walking through the Great Wall of China.


We consider David Copperfield to be the best magician of the world, because he realized and elaborated magic tricks and he keep the attention to the spectators. Moreover, his tricks are unique and unrepeatable. It’s impressive that a child has surprised the people with his tricks and he has been considered a genius. We believe that he has a good experience and a capacity to create new tricks. There are unimaginable tricks, as for example, to make disappear the statue of liberty.
He guided to unsuspected heights of art and imagination neither that the magicians or the spectators not imagined in the past. So that, we think that David Copperfield has given a new meaning to the word magic.
All that, he can see reflected in the quantity of awards that he has received, as for example: one star in the walk of the reputation of Hollywood between others. But, also, not leave anybody indifferent!

Ray Charles, the genius!

Ray Charles Robinson, born in Albany Georgia, september 23 1930 and dead June 10 2004was a singer and pianist, soul, R & B, gospel, blues and jazz was born in Georgia and blind since childhood. Is a famous singer.
I think he's a genius by his singing and his voice. I also think that is a genius and I admire your music, all styles that you have sung. I also find it has much merit since it has forged a legend being blind. There is a movie that dramatizes his life and got two oscars.

Steven Jobs

Steven Paul Jobs (born February 24, 1955) is an American business magnate and inventor. He is well known for being the co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple. Jobs also previously served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios. In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios.

In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula, and others, designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of the mouse-driven graphical user interface which led to the creation of the Macintosh.

I chose Steven Jobs because I think he has revolutionized the electronically industry and the computers’ image too. He helped to build the future computer’s industry and was one of the firsts to developed computer’s movies. He’s working again with Machintosh Inc. and I really think what he did whit Pixar and Apple it will be very important in the future on this industry.

Antoni Gaudí

Gaudi was born the 15 June 1852 in Reus; it was a Spanish architect and the best representative artist of the Catalan’s modernism.

His most outstanding qualities are the incredible sense for volume and geometry, and his talent for imagine and create new things never seen before, like his famous technique “el trencadís”. But, the most impressive of Gaudi, is his memory and imagination that allowed him to think and make his projects without needing to do a plan.
It was firstly influenced by the neo-gothic art, but finally Gaudi enters on the modernism and becomes a prestige architect hired by the richest on Barcelona. It’s here, in the capital city of Catalonia, where he builds his most important and relevant projects like: La Pedrera, El Parc Güell, or Casa Batlló.
Like most geniuses, his death was also particularly. The 7 June, in the morning, when he went to the church, like every day, he was hit by a tram. For his dirty aspect, no one recognized him, and no one help him, only a vagabond that helped by the police, takes a taxi to take Gaudi from the hospital. 3 days later, the 10 June 1926, Antoni Gaudi dies in Barcelona.


I consider Gaudi like a genius because of all his projects makes in Barcelona, and around Catalonia. All of theirs are spectacularly different from the others things build before, and after him. Gaudi has the capacity to imagine estrange things and make it real without use plans, having all the information in his mind and also improvising at the same moment that the work is been done.
It’s still trying to finish the Sagrada Familia, one of his most important works, which he left unfinished when he death. The difficulty for finish this work, is a clear example of Gaudi’s prodigious mind, because he thought to finish it without planes, in a short period of time.
