Project
After taking forever to decide on a book for my final project, I decided to use The President by Miguel Angel Asturias. I came to this decision after a short discussion with Mr. Cummings and reading the first bit of two different books. The way that the book started out really caught my attention with the portrayal of the beggars and how they would rather help a stray dog than each other. I found this to be quite interesting that even people who are stuck in the same miserable situation will not help each other out. I am looking forward to getting farther into the book and finding what is to come.

Oliver, this is a great novel. You're going to enjoy this. Keep in mind that when Asturias wrote it he was steeped in Parisian Surrealism.
