Books Vs. Movies.

Both books and movies are really interesting. However, while books gives you free pass to imaginate and put faces to the characters, movies don't leave anything to the imagination.
Also, books are more extense when movies normally last 1'30 hour or 2 so a lot of information is cut out. Added to this, when you are reading a book you have to be focused on what is happening, but watching a movie you can be more relaxed. Conversely, at the same time you are reading you can be lost on your own world and still know what you are reading while if that happens when you are watching a movie you lost the plot.
In short, both books and movies are entertaining, so you can decide what you prefer depending on your mode.

Shakespeare's Sonnet 18.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? 
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date: 
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; 
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st; 
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. 


Sonnet 18 is one of my favourite poems. Maybe because it's one of the first ones I've read or maybe just because it's Shakespeare. 

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.- I love how he keeps his beloved alive through his words. 



Tom hiddleston & Shakespeare... Is there anything better? 
The audio isn't the best but still. 

Presentation.

I don't really know where to start, so I'll start with the basic.

My name is Cynthia and I'm 21 years old. I'm from Murcia and I'm studying English at University.
I love music and books, so you can expect to see lots of that.
I've created this blog as a project for an university's subject. I'm really happy to be able to improve my writing while sharing my opinions.

Now... shall we begin?
