The song Sitting on the Dock of the Bay by Redding was right. When (Sittin’ on) the Dock of the Bay was released less than two months later, it became the singer’s first million-seller and first Billboard Number One single. But the legendary soul singer never got to hear the finished version of his breakthrough single: He had died in a plane crash on December 10th, 1967, almost a month before the song was released, (January 8, 1968).

(Sittin' On) The Dock of The Bay
So I’m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time
Look like nothing’s gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can’t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I’ll remain the same, yes

Dom Casmurro (1899), perhaps Brazil’s most celebrated novel, has acquired in the century since its publication what must be the longest critical bibliography devoted to any single work of Brazilian fiction. Part of its attraction no doubt lies in the enigma concerning possible adultery and betrayal that many critics have found in its pages. In the distinct stages the interpretation of the novel has gone through, betrayal has been the key issue of debate.

It is noted that Bentinho silences the character of Capitu from the first to the last page, leaving the reader in a position of passivity in front of his story. Soon, the signs of betrayal described with contempt by Bentinho cannot be considered, since they are all drawings of his mind that at times showed signs of psychic disturbance. The narrator, represented by attitudes of jealousy, exaggerates in all the described occasions. Bentinho, already Casmurro, aims to understand the events that took place between his life and that of Capitu.

One of the World’s 7,000 Languages Dies Every Three Months. Can Apps Help Save Them?
Like his ancestors, 65-year-old Clayton Long spent his childhood immersed in Navajo culture, greeting fellow clan members with old, breathful Navajo words like “Yá’át’ééh.” Then he was sent to an English-only boarding school where his native language, also known as Diné, was banned. “I went into a silent resistance,” Long says from his home in Blanding, Utah. He vowed that he would help to preserve it after he left the work he has done for about three decades as a teacher. This week, he’s entering new territory on that mission: the app store.
Long is one of the educators working with language-learning startup Duolingo on the company’s latest endeavor: using its popular app to revive threatened languages. On Oct. 8, celebrated in some places as Indigenous People’s Day, Duolingo will launch courses in both Navajo and Hawaiian, two of the estimated 3,150 languages that face doubts about their longterm survival. That’s nearly half of the estimated 7,000 languages spoken around the world.
