ONE BOOK THAT I LIKED

 



 Requiem por un campesino español is a novel written by Ramon J. Sender in 1953.

I read this book two years ago, because it was optional for Spanish Language in 2nd of High School, and I actually liked it. It talks about the history of Paco el del Molino, narrated by Mosén Millán, the priest that baptized him and who saw him getting older. Paco was considerated a rebel, and because of this, he was being persecuted. Mosen Millán, who was told that Paco wouldn´t die, betrayed him and told the authorities where Paco was hiding, but the authorities killed Paco. As the priest could have saved Paco, feels guilty due to his dead, what was used by the author to express the social reality that he was living.

The most important characters are:

- Mosén Millán, priest and narrator of the novel

- Paco el del Molino, main character, whose life is narrated from his birth until his death.

It´s a short book that makes you empathize with Paco and feel bad for his bad luck, at the end.

EXERCISE ABOUT ADS

  Hello everyone, in this post I´m going to give you my opinion about some kind of ads that I have read about in this link:  https://www.talentlyft.com/en/blog/article/268/top-10-best-job-ad-examples First of all, I´m going to talk about the ones, that I liked the most. Example 2, 5, and 6, are my favourite ones, because of their simplicity, and direct information, that makes you catch the idea of the advertisement with just a look. Thanks to this, you are able to know if you are interested in that job or not. Nevertheless, there are some ads that I disliked, mostly because of their long text and non visual information, that, in my opinion is esential in this kind of announcements. They have to be catchy, so more people would be interested in them. To me, example 1 doesn´t have this characteristics that I have mentioned before, so I would remove it from this post.

 I´ve chosen this trailer because I saw this film, Shaft, a year ago and it´s still among my favourites films.   It mixes action with comedy that is what I liked most, having tension scenes blended with funny ones too.  Also the actors are so charismatic, what I appreciate a lot in films.
