Read the following lines from Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote, in which the main character attacks a windmill on his horse, Rocinante. Also, compare the
text with the illustration of the same scene by Gustave Doré.
[Don Quixote) charged at Rocinante's fullest gallop and fell
upon the first mill that stood in front of him; but as he
drove his lance-point into the sail the wind whirled it round
with such force that it shivered the lance to pieces,
sweeping with it horse and rider, who went rolling over on
the plain, in a sorry condition. what is the one distinction between the text and the illustration that is the result of the difference in medium

Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and can be perceived by one or more senses; a physical body, a physical substance, or the universe as a whole. There are four distinct states of matter: solids, liquids, gases,  and plasma. There are other states of matter such as Bose-Einstein condensates and neutron degenerate matter, but those states can only be found under extreme conditions. These phases can go from one to another when affected by certain things, which is known as phase changes. To switch from a solid to a liquid, the solid must melt. On the other hand, to switch from a liquid to a solid, freezing must occur. Furthermore, to switch from a liquid to a gas, a process known as evaporation must take place. In contrast, to…show more content…

Solids have a definite volume and definite shape. The reason solids have a definite volume and shape is due to how closely packed the particles are together. The forces between the particles are so strong that do not allow the particles to move freely but to vibrate. Examples of solids are wood, bricks, and baseballs ("States of Matter"). One type of  solid is crystalline solid. In a crystalline solid, the particles are in a repeating pattern. These patterns are known as crystal lattice structures. There are many types of lattice structures which include: cubic, hexagonal, triclinic, monoclinic, trigonal, orthorhombic, and tetragonal. An example of a crystalline solid is carbon. These solids have characteristics of geometrical shapes ("Properties of Matter"). Another type of solid is an amorphous solid. These solids are formed when a liquid is suddenly cooled.  An amorphous solid has no regular crystal structure but does have definite volume and shape. Amorphous solids are classified as viscous, or slowly flowing, liquids. These solids do not have sharp melting points. Also, amorphous solids have a wide range of melting points. Examples of amorphous solids are butter, plastic, rubber, and coal ("States of Matter").
