In Spanish 362, I was able to learn many significant things. For example, I was able to learn about different types of readings. Some of them were hard to understand since we were analyzing what they were talking about, and they were using vocabulary that I wouldn’t understand. We focus on authors like Jorge Borges, Sor Juana, Horacio Quiroga and much more. For this class we did a presentation focusing on the story The Youngest doll by Rosario Ferre. Where we talk about what this movie was about, we describe the author, and we focus on what was the main idea of this story. The Youngest Doll
