Today, we investigated possible idea for projects in the library. This mostly consisted of getting lost on the portal with Lauren, not being able to find the library resources page, and pondering the correct spelling of "Isabel Allende" ("did you spell isabel right?" "i don't know, i just spelled it like my aunt isabel!") After this little adventure, I browsed somewhere in the 800s for potential authors, and I spent most of my time investigating two, who are as follows:
1. Pablo Neruda
2. Gabriela Mistral
who are both Chilean poets. I've heard a lot about Pablo Neruda and I thought he'd be interesting to learn more about, so I picked up a book, and there were some poems by Mistral in there too so I just kind of kept reading and learned about her as well. I think I might want to pursue poetry, more so than short stories, because I am more intrigued about them and I think they require more interpretation and analysis. Plus, Latin American Poetry is very different from any other kind of poetry we've read....it seems they fit so much more feeling into such a few amount of words than other poets, and they just seem so passionate. So, in short, I'm thinking poetry.

Nora, very amusing account of your day. Thank you. I may be wrong, but I think Mistral actually taught Neruda in school. (I might have made that up, though.) Looks like you are moving in a good direction. Lots to choose from with Pablo.
way to quote me in your blog and not CITE CORRECTLY! ahem, i believe I said that i spelled Isabel like my aunt. You fail at citing. Therefore your website is most def. NOT a credible source. I am truly dissapointed.
