Writing Homework Help

I’m stuck on a English question and need an explanation.

“Quixotic” is an adjective that was coined directly in response to the character of Don Quixote. Its definition is “exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical.” Give five pieces of evidence from at least three different chapters to prove that Don Quixote is himself quixotic. After you have done so, think about the following quote from Pablo Medina: “Cervantes’s courage as a writer stands in presenting a character who is both mad and compelling.” Write a few sentences about why Don Quixote can be considered compelling even though he is mad.
