Outside Post #12: "La Nina Fea"

In Spanish class, we read a short story called "La Nina Fea" (The Ugly Girl.) This story was a bout a small child, and everyone at her school used to call her ugly. Every time she wanted to interact with her friends they always told her to go away, and every time she went to her hidden place. That's where she felt safe and wanted. But one day the ground spoke to her and said that she looked like the ground. That's when the readers find out that she died. A pretty tragic story but is shows how a child felt during the war in Spain.
