The reality of a fantasy


In Spanish 5, the class requires that students read and comprehend literature. Senora Wallis has chosen to read “Los Arboles Mueren de Pie”- a twisted love story following the reality of a fantasy life.

The story goes into depth about a woman who needs a change. Her life dwindles so low that Isabel, the protagonist, contemplates committing suicide by means of poison. She is rescued by a bouquet of flowers with a card saying “tomorrow”.

The flowers sent her on a path to a mysterious office. Nothing seems to fit, she can not put the pieces together.
