PERSONAL OPINION

My personal opinion about this story is that is not necessary to create a trauma in the reader. If instead of having committed suicide they had survived in extremiss it would have been less thraumatic. So I think I have said enough about what do I think. Keep tuned for next posts!!

Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's day, so we have done a special class with free games, videos,etc. I haven't really found nothing interesting to write about so, I will write about the Valentine's day and what is it for me.

For me, the 14th of February is a day that may be nice for couples, but, what about single people? What about people who was not been able to find love or to find somebody to be in love with? I think is an evil day for 'em. They might be depressed, they might feel miserable when going out the street and seeing all those happy couples walking by the hand... I wouldn't like to be them... but for all the rest Valentine's day is a nice day with surprisesfor somepeople and lots of love declarations. :)
