The witness for the persecution was Amazing!! That’s what I said after reading it! When I saw it, I thought: ohh! This is gonna be boring, let´s better start now! But then, as the story advanced, I became more and more interested, arriving to the point that I finished the story in less than 30 minutes!!The ending was so beautiful, that I didn’t expected nothing less of Agatha Cristy.

During this 2 short stories, I’m having a good thime with literature (of couse, let’s see what happens in the exam!). I guess it is because the stories are interesting and with easy vocabulary in order to understand easily the main ideas and complex plots. Congratulations to the book’s editors and also to the teacher because of selecting this kind of stories!!

La dama de negro

La dama de negro, was a play that I really enjoyed. Maybe because the sound effects were great, just as both actors. The play at the beggining, is really funny, and then, it starts to get chilling. I personally think, it can’t be compared with a movie, becuse in movies you have many time to prepare your ideas, dialogs and acts. Unlike cinema, theater is supposed to be more original, giving rise to improvisation.

May be for some people, sound and light effects are better in cinema, but taking into account that the play is not a big and it hasn’t got a big cast, I consider La Dama de Negro a good play. You can see the hard work of the people involved.

Comment Short story by Mark Twain

I found the text very interesting, obviously because of the surprice ending. I think Mark Twain is a great writer, who has the ability to drive you easy through the story and suddenly change the ending, and all the meaning of the story. For example, at the beginning I had the idea that Henry was the luckiest man in the world, because he was huseband of an almost perfect woman. But at the end, I thought:" OHH!! poor man!!". I really enjoyed the story and that form of writing,makes me think Mark Twain really writes literature.
