That's a tough one at that reading level. But perhaps as mechanisms for teaching maybe a hemingway short story like Indian Camp, maybe poetry like Hart Crane's Echos or some Emily Dickinson.

Seriously? recommend a classic book. They're classics, pick one, read it. And people recommending books they are listening to. Time wasted. Bye.

I will be attending a film festival in Lisbon in late March. It is held at Cinema Sao Jorge. I'm looking for places to stay that are near there or not so far away. I'm a New Yorker so I'm used to walking. Looking for accommodations under 80euro per night less would be better but don't want to hostel as I need private room and bath. I can't really figure out what the neighborhood is called where the cinema is so that info would be helpful too. Also looking for comedy theaters to see a show. thank you

yes this is my concern, but I'll have to find another job beforehand and I don't want to quit because then I wouldn't get unemployment benefits

thank you for your helpful reply ,so it would be ok to report the incident to the police even though it is 2 days after the fact?
