!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
On the Island featured a courageous 16 year old T.J. recovering from cancer looking to be tutored over the summer by the 30 year old high school teacher Anna, hired by his parents in order that he could catch up on his school work. Anna was looking for a little adventure, time away in a remote location and earn a little extra cash but in reality it was an all expenses paid work vacation in an exotic locate. Boy did they both get more than they bargained for in what should have been a simple case of "How I Spent my Summer Vacation". What a tale they both had to tell if they managed to beat the odds and survive.
