The Turn of The Screw (book review)

Image
 BOOK REVIEW: THE TURN OF THE SCREW The book I've read this Christmas is "The Turn of The Screw", a story with various film adaptations. Its author, Henry James, was considered to be among the greatest novelist by many. he died in 1916, with 51 books published. Here's my review - by Lucía WHAT IS IT ABOUT? 'The turn of the Screw' is a gothic and horror fiction book about a governess who convinces herself a remote country house is haunted, and tries to protect her children from the strange encounters. It starts, though, with scary tales being told by various families in a gathering. None of them are presented as true, until the governess' story. The reader is meant to think this one is factual, but reading, you wonder. The governess, in the story, in spite of being paranoid, doesn't leave behind her love desires. THE CHARACTERS First, the governess , who is sensitive and intelligent. She sees herself as a hero fighting against evil, an evil that, for a...

An e-postcard: from NYC

Image
                             From: Lucía                              To:   Dad   Hi, dad! We’re having a great time here in New York. Our tour guide is AMAZING and our hotel is right next to Times Square! On the afternoons, we just follow the group, since we’re already visiting the places we were planning on visiting on the morning tours. The worst was getting here, and going through customs, which was so annoying! I had to go help an elderly couple. When we got to the hotel, I was really tired, but mom and I couldn’t sleep much because of Jet Lag, so at 5AM we headed to Times Square, where we took a lot pictures, then we explored a small park at the bottom of Central Park. Tomorrow, we are going to Washington DC, which is four hours away! We are going to a cemetery and to the other famous monuments. We’ll see i...

"Meeting Santa Claus" (A Christmas story)

Image
  Meeting Santa Claus A Christmas story - by Lucía  Christmas night was the best night of the year: the whole family got together to have the delicious dinner grandma made. But Tom and Peter wanted to make it even better: they wanted to meet Santa! They knew this would be hard, but they had a plan. First, they pretended to sleep while they waited for everyone to go to bed. After that, when they could no longer hear any noise, they walked to the fireplace as silently as possible. They placed transparent string with a bell in front of it. And then, they hid and waited. And waited, and waited... And they fell asleep. And sleeping they were, sleeping behind a couch, when a bell woke them up: it was Santa! The plan had worked! But Santa didn't share this feeling of excitement. In fact, he looked worried. Tom and Peter didn't have time to react: a magical gust of wind carried them to his sleigh while Santa was explaining himself. He told the kids he didn't have time to stop in ho...

One day he meets a talking donkey running away from a group of guards, and when they see Shrek they run away in terror. Shrek tries to drive the donkey away, but it insists on following him without being afraid of him, so he allows him to spend a night at his house. That night he finds in his swamp countless fairy tale creatures exiled by Lord Farquaad, a noble ruler self-conscious about his height. Angered by the intrusion, he decides to go and demand that Farquaad send them back to their respective stories, taking Donkey with him to reach Duloc, the town that Farquaad rules.

Adri dindn't know why he didn't know why he didn't play football at the playground in spite of the fact thathe liked it. One day he asked Manu why he didn't play at playground, and he dindn't seem to want to say anything. Little by little, he got him to tell him, and he also got him to play. That same day he knew why he never wanted to play: they messed with him because he wasn't the best of all. From that day on, Adri didn't play anymore because they messed with his best friend and it didn't seem right to him logically, like a very good friend.

The Graveyard Book (book review)

Image
  THE GRAVEYARD BOOK ''The Graveyard Book'' is a book by best-selling author Neil Gaiman. I would describe it as a mystery and adventure book. I always love Neil Gaiman books, and this one was no exception Here's my review - by Lucía The book is about a boy being raised in a graveyard, while the man who killed his family is trying to murder him too. The boy is named Nobody (Bod, for short), and he lives a crazy life in the abandoned cemetery, with lots of adventures and rules he doesn't want to follow. The boy's mentor, Silas, is my favorite character since he is wise and I also love the way he is depicted: very dark. All of the characters have a lot of dimension, and are beautifully written. In the topic of writing: I love the way the book is written, and the research that was done for the ghosts is amazing, being taken into account that they all come from different eras and backgrounds. The end, though a bit predictable, is really emotional and I would rec...
