Activities
Here are the answers for an English's activity we have to do!
1. We will ask "whose face do you see?" in the case that somebody has a dream or a nightmare.
* In the picture we see 5 faces, two women and two men and the face that is formed with their faces.
2. a- We think that the person who is speaking is Marianne (we suppose she is the main character of this story).
b- Maybe Marianne wasn't able to recognize her identity, so she was talking to herself in front of a mirror.
c- Probably she is in her bedroom, in front of a mirror.
3. a- She does all those things because she never controlled her acts.
b- She used the sense of sight, because she could see all the things that were held in front of her. She also used the sense of hearing sense when she listened to the woman.
4. "Hospitals have always made me anxious" --> anxious
"Surely if you go into a hospital you'll fall ill and die yourself" -->fear
"This hospital is different" --> acceptance
"This hospital is warm and smells of disinfectant and boiled cabbage-school's meal smell" --> conformism
End,,

Whose Face Do You See?
Melvin Burgess.
I think that that the story will be about a famous thief that can't be arrested by the police.
This thief intends to steal an important and expensive sculpture.
Nobody knows his face. Nobody knows anything about where he lives so the detectives and the police have to find many clues to find "WHO" the robber is.
I'M GOING TO FIND THE ANSWER.....READING THE STORY.

I prefer the one from Saint Augustire...I think that is true, what he says it's true. I believe that is better to have loved and lost, than never have loved at all. Love is one of the wonderfull things that are in the world. Love make the world go round!
