No Witchcraft for Sale

I really liked this short story. There are many values in this story and they are all important, for example to be thankful, how can you pay someone who has just saved you from losing your sight? There is also one part of the story in which they talk about money, there are many things more important than money (for me is to live completely). Another value is to respect the point of view of each other (Gideon didn't want to show the plant to the doctor). The most important thing that I can appreciate in this story was that Gideon and his family considered themselves different from the Farquars (one will grow up to be a baas, and one will be a servant); in my point of view we are all the same just because of the fact that we are all humans. (We should treat each other for what we are, humans.)

Twelfth Night

I am really enjoying the play of Twelfth Night and also the movie. After reading the act one in the book, I consider that the book is better, because there are some words that change of meaning and there is a really good explanation of that in the book; besides that in the movie sometimes I don't get all the conversations. In the other hand the movie is nice, the acting is really good. My favourite parts of the movie are when Cesario (Viola) met Olivia and she falls in love with him (Viola/Cesario), it was really funny. Twelfth Night has bcome one of my favourite Shakespeare's plays.

Shakespeare

I think that Shakespeare is a really good writer, even though I don't like some of his works.
He really knew how to make people get interestes in all he wrote, he was able to make the audience feel kind of identified with many of his plays (they laugh in the comedies); I think that is one of the main reasons of why he was so succesfull.
I do believe that he was the author of all his works. Maybe he got inspired with all the things that were around him or hear a story, then adapt it in a way that it was liked by the audience. In my point of view he is still alive (he is inmortal), because we continue reading his works mostly his play of Romeo and Juliet (it is my favorite one).
