Lo que no me gusta de Memphis es la pobreza, porque es el corazón rompiendo para ver. Vivo en East Memphis y East Memphis es muy diverso. La diversidad en mi ciudad es buena, porque podemos ver muchas personas diferentes y sus vidas. Podemos tener algo de violencia y robo, pero al menos Memphis es un buen lugar para vivir

activity log

I watched "el Internado " episode 6 . In this episode,  they discover a passage way to a secret tunnel.  They explore the tunnel until they run into a creature, which I think is a gnome, and run off frightened.  They run into a caged room and find the five missing orphans and Alfonso. Carola takes pictures of the bodies for evidence. They come across Mr. Montoya, who orders they to get out. The gnome found them and Mr. Montoya shoots at it. The students run to the entrance, however, the gnome get ahold of Mr. Montoya and kills him. The students figure out that the man wasn't Mr. Montoya.  Mr. Montoya was actually found dead by a lake so this was an imposter who was out to kill them.  The gnome goes to Paula for help and she tells Fermin about it. When they return to her room, the gnome is gone but it left blood behind. Fermin makes Paula promise not to go back into the woods.  Unfortunately, she does go back into the woods with cleaning supplies to heal the gnome's injury. Marcos discovers this information, so he and Carola go into the woods to find her. Some creature finds Paula and tell her to follow it. Meanwhile, Ivan's abusive dad return and is treating him nicely. Ivan is convinced he has changed until Maria and Carola warns him to be careful.  In actuality, his father just wants him to testify in court that he is not abusive. After hearing everyone's opinion,  Ivan decides not to go. Carola and Marcos have feelings for each other and Ivan discovers them kissing in the attic. Heartbroken, Ivan runs away from the school. Maria and Hector have feelings for each other as well so he ended things with Elsa. We later find out the Elsa is pregnant but she doesn't  know who the father is. We also find out that a student was found dead in the woods.

 
 My Spanish tutor gave me a paragraph and had me circle all the verbs. She then made me translate the paragraph and helped me with the words I didn't know. She introduced the preterite tense to me for regular verbs.
