One of my mottos is that everything has its time and place in this life and, after reading The way this me has become clearer than ever. When I was about twelve, my literature teacher sent us to the whole class read this book. On Thursday afternoon we did a joint reading aloud, alternating between each other to read it all and see our level. In each session we read a chapter and we got to the third, when one of my mates was sleeping and began to snore with real passion. The teacher was somewhat disappointed, but decided to be open to all: none of us liked this book, it seemed very boring and so he did know Doña Concha (which was the name of the teacher). She called the director, who came to class and asked us why we did not like, whether it was a classic, whether it was essential ... Well, there was nothing to do with us, we flatly refuse to read Road and, surprisingly, professor and director agreed to stop reading and start another book. Don Guillermo, who was the director (and also a professor of mathematics), so bajini told Dona Concepcion: "You know, I think it's time yet to read Road. They are too young to understand." I heard it in that course, I sat in front. Then, go to class, Don Guillermo told us: "I hope future you find a place for this book. "He left the class with her characteristic elegance and that was that.
To me all this I have received much . Where I live and I've grown a district of Alicante which is so remote from the center could be considered a village. In fact, it was years and genuine people around here that is still called "people." Here each family has its nickname, and everyone knows everyone. There are rumors, events, scandals, anecdotes ... As in any town. When someone dies campaigns warn church and word spreads quickly and is made known by whom tolling. One goes out and asks "Qui S'ha mort?" and maybe if you say the name does not know who is dead, but if you say the nickname, not failures. Either that or tell you where he lived, that family is ... And always regrets the loss because, if only someone who has been on the street, you've seen a lot and know you'll never want to slip their feet into the streets.
But either death or life The road has brought me many things to mind. Now that I understand. These are different times of the book and mine, but the soul of a people remains the same. And then there's the switch, stop being a child. How could I understand this book when I was twelve, if it had not ceased to be a baby? It was impossible that I liked, neither me nor any of my classmates, because it's hard to look back and just as an adult will understand the ideas embodied Miguel Delibes in this novel. Why I said that everything has its time and place in life. TECHNICAL
