!Mira que luna! Look at that moon! Resources for learning English
Fernando Olivera: El rapto.- TEXT FROM THE NOVEL The goldfinch by Donna Tartt (...) One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down, wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed, and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. When "you feel homesick", he said, just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go". So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess -I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am. She kissed me on the nose. Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you". The goldfinch Donna Tartt 4441 English edition

    Reel.com: A large selection of movies to buy, with both VCR and DVD format.
    The Script Shop: An excellent place to buy movie screenplays (scripts), with perhaps the widest selection available on the web. However, be aware that a screenplay is not the actual dialog that ends up in the film, and in fact there are usually big differences between the two.
    Drew’s Script-o-Rama: This site offers scripts that can be downloaded directly for free. In addition, it also has access to a few transcripts, which are the word-for-word dialog that is in the actual movie.
