Como decíamos ayer...
Estas son algunas crónicas del evento del pasado 16 de octubre y que nos gustaría agradecer especialmente a Paula y a Carlos y cómo no a Ruta Sepetys.
Que os gusten.
On Thursday 16th October we attended a lecture by the well known American writer Ruta Sepetys. It was very interesting because we learnt how her book was written, she explained the different travels and hard things that she underwent to write the book.
So far she has written two books: "Between the shades of gray" and
"Out of the Easy". In class we have read the first one, I really enjoyed the book, because we learnt about Lithuanian stories during Stalin's government. This book has been
translated into 34 languages. Now she
knows her family story, and the world knows more about the Lithuanians, who
have the right to be known, because they had
suffered a lot from a terrible war.
I
recommend this book to anyone who wants to know something more about Lithuania and
to read an entertaining book.

On 16th October teachers from the English Language
Department,Geography and History Department along with students from the first and second years
of Bachillerato participated in the presentation
of the book Between Shades of
Gray with its author, Ruta Sepetys. It took place in La
Salle-Gran Vía school.
Ruta had a nice meeting with young readers. It was amazing that the story,
narrated by a girl who is the main character, is based on true events given
that following
her grandfather's departure from Lithuania, members of his extended family were
deported to Siberia. Stalin's deportations to Siberia affected countless
families in the countries of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, yet much of the
world knew nothing of it.
There is no one better than the author of the book to
explain its content. Ruta Sepetys related so awful story with tons of smiles on
her face, demonstrating that to enable
us to prepare properly for the future, we must be familiar with the
past and our history.
Ruta answered all the
questions students asked her, she also signed some books and took a lot of
pictures with us. We all had a wonderful time there.
