Crime and Punishment

Imagen
In the stifling heat of a July St. Petersburg, Fyodor Dostoevsky plunges us into the tumultuous mind of Raskolnikov, our antihero, in the opening chapters of Crime and Punishment. These brief pages are a masterclass in character introduction and atmosphere building, setting the stage for a psychological thriller that will dissect the moral and philosophical ramifications of a heinous act. Chapter One takes us on a desperate journey through Raskolnikov's stifling garret room and the oppressive, poverty-stricken streets of the city. His feverish delirium, fuelled by hunger and isolation, reveals a festering resentment towards society and a burgeoning, yet unnamed, plan that seems to offer an escape from his misery. Dostoevsky uses vivid imagery and Raskolnikov's disjointed thoughts to create a palpable sense of paranoia and inner turmoil, leaving the reader unsettled and on edge. Chapter two introduces Marmeladov, a drunken former official whose own descent into poverty casts...

My hobbies

Imagen
 Welcome to a glimpse into my mind, a space where imagination dances with curiosity and creativity takes flight! My hobbies are a vibrant tapestry woven from threads of fantasy, history, and a dash of athleticism.   I'm an avid reader, and my bookshelf is a portal to fantastical worlds. Dragons soar across the pages, brave heroes embark on epic quests, and ancient magic shimmers in every sentence. Whether it's the intricate world-building of Tolkien or the whimsical charm of Pratchett, I lose myself in these tales, my imagination painting vivid pictures alongside the author's words. But my love for fantastical creatures doesn't stop at reading. I'm also a budding artist, and my pencils dance across the page, giving life to majestic dragons of my own creation. Each one is unique, a scaly symphony of fire and fury, grace and power. Their wings unfurl on my canvas, their eyes blaze with untold stories, and I take pride in bringing these mythical beasts to life. ...

My Job

Imagen
Seven years ago, I embarked on a journey at Academic Bilingual Tutorship (ABT) that wasn't just a job, but a passionate pursuit. I donned the dual hats of coordinator and tutor, and let me tell you, it's been a whirlwind of exhilarating challenges and soul-stirring rewards. My students...oh, my students! Each one of them, from wide-eyed beginners to seasoned learners, is a universe of curiosity and potential. Their diverse backgrounds paint our classrooms with vibrant tapestries of cultures and experiences. Every session is a voyage of discovery, where I unlock the doors to languages – English, Spanish, French, German – and witness the sparks of understanding ignite in their eyes. Being a coordinator and tutor at ABT isn't just about imparting knowledge; it's about igniting a love for learning. It's about tailoring each lesson to fit individual needs, nurturing confidence, and celebrating even the smallest victories. But it's also about being challenged, pus...

My Pets

Imagen
My life is a symphony of barks, purrs, and wagging tails. I'm the proud owner of five amazing dogs, each with a unique melody in the chorus of my heart. Most of them, like sweet Gordita the oldest one, and playful Patroclo the  Sheepadoodle , were rescued from the streets, finding their forever home with me. Then there's Chicha, my cat, the elder of the pack at a grand 15 years old. Her wisdom and gentle purrs are the calming basslines to our furry orchestra. And last but not least, there's energetic pup Pinocchio, the four-year-old dog who brings boundless joy and mischief with every zoomie and slobbery kiss. Taking care of this motley crew is my daily adventure. From early morning walks to messy mealtimes, from cuddle puddles on the couch to backyard zoomies, every moment is filled with love and laughter, even if it's punctuated by the occasional chewed slipper or muddy paw prints. Yes, it's a challenge, juggling five different personalities, managing vet appointm...

Hi guys, I'm Lady, a teacher by profession who loves art, history, math, and of course, teaching. I've been a teacher for 19 years in different areas of knowledge and different grades. I currently direct and teach at Academic Bilingual Tutorship, a company focused on academic tutoring services in English, Spanish, French, and German, and also offers specific subject classes in these languages. As I mentioned earlier, my passions include history, math, and teaching, but I also love learning about religions, cultures, and strategies for caring for and preserving the environment.  I'm a naturalist and I contribute to the world by rescuing dogs. I currently have 5 living with me and a cat, and since I don't have enough space, I also help a little bit with a dog shelter. The purpose of this blog is to share a little more about the world of technology, but since I also love learning, I'll be very happy to receive your feedback and comments so that we can all learn togethe...
