[GROUP / Literature] Readings from Modern Mexican Authors, by Frederick Starr - loa

[Kitty]

Another fine chapter. One change needed as we can't shortchange the man.
2:02 should be "thousand" not "hundred" in "number more than seven thousand."

you're right ! How could I mix up those two numbers. 7000 is indeed more impressive than 700.

Here it is again, I only changed that half-sentence, the rest stays the same.

Chapter 8 is PL OK. What grim selections the author chose.

I'll get to chapter 9 tomorrow.

You are correct about that. I looked it up online and whatever website I went to said it was the first yellow fever epidemic in the world. Definitely not a cheerful topic.

This section is PL OK.

you will be more pleased with this author, the two excerpts in this section are rather funny and well written. And with a sort of happy ending each time.

I really enjoyed this one, and maybe we should find the short story collection of this author to run it as group project.
