“How could he not recognize the turnoff to the ranch? It was so clear and sharp in his mind: the dusty crimp of the corner, the low section where the snow drifted, the run where willows slapped the side of the truck. He went a mile, watching for it, but the turn didn't come up; then he watched for the Bob Kitchen place, two miles beyond, but the distance unrolled and there was nothing.” Recalling his memories, Mero was sure he knew how to get to the family ranch without directions. He had lived there for so long anyways; he was sure he could find his way. He doesn’t use a map nor does he ask for directions. Mero believes full heartedly because his memories are in tact, he would be able to find his way. As such, Mero looks for landmarks that he recalls from his memories, only to discover that the landmarks are no longer there, that things have changed. His memories deceive him and Mero winds up lost out in the deadly winter of

She runs home as fast as she cans, leaving a watery black trail behind her. As she runs up onto her doorstep, a strange looking figure walks slowly behind her. She slams open the door with giant grayish black stain on the living room rug. “O my gosh, honey what happened to you!” Yollies mother gasped. “My dress is ruined; ruined I tell you, it started to rain my hair got soaked and just if that wasn’t good enough, the dye on my dress washed away!” She cried. As her mom hears a knock on the door she opens it, and she asked,”hi young man, may I help you? Yollie turned around and saw it, he was Ernie a Castillo! With his black suit soaked his hair damp and the purple flower in his suit pocket, light purple flower petals flowing away with every drop of the rain. “Ernie what are you doing here!”she gasped. He had came back for her out of the love in his heart. He wanted Yollie to feel better after all her clothes got ruined.

It was getting later and later, and they were still in there “ What was that ” Diego asked Vanessa, but as he got no response he turned around, and Vanessa was nowhere to be spotted. “ Where is she!” asked Cesar “ I don’t know,” responded Diego, so they turned back heading the way they had came from looking for Vanessa, but she was nowhere to be found. As they kept walking, they could hear a dripping sound and every time they walked more and more it would get louder and louder. So they followed the noise, and as they did, they got terrified, and they started to tremble. So they stopped and sat in some old scourge dirty chairs that were thrown on the ground so they can calm down from the haunt that was happening, as they were sitting down they can smell an earthy, metallic smell all over. “ Cesar what is that behind you it looks strange,” questioned Diego and as Cesar turned to see what it was, it was a gory cadaver, so they ran out till where they had come in from forgetting about Vanessa and trying to ignore what they had seen. Cesar and Diego just continued to run for their life until they got to Diego house

Miguel began to hear strange sounds, like waterfalls and people laughing, though all he could see was fog surrounding his boat. Suddenly, the old map began to glow in his hands and blinding sunlight broke through the fog. When Miguel was finally able to see he was in shock, all around him were people of the Indian variety. There were statues and buildings made of gold, with a giant golden pyramid on nearby mountain side. A man approached Miguel, though he did not seem very happy. He questioned Miguel, “You! Who are you? Why have you come here?” Miguel explained how he had been searching for El Dorado and that only made the man angrier. The man exclaimed, “You should not be in this sacred place! Greed surrounds your heart and makes up your soul! As punishment, we shall take all of your fortune and banish you from this holy place!” In an instant flash, Miguel was back on his boat, yet none of his stolen fortune was to be found. Miguel couldn’t believe it, his greed and misdeeds had cost him the paradise of his dreams, and got everything he owned taken away. He sobbed many tears of grief as he sailed back to Spain, the only place for a man like

*Who is the narrator of this story? What special insight does that provide the reader? What would you understand differently if the narrator had been another character?

     After teaching the boy a lot about the journey he will go through, the king gave him omens to follow. Santiago sells his sheep, and travels to a town on his way to Egypt. He finds a man that could take him past the desert to Egypt. So the boy gives him the money that he got for the sheep. When the man shows Santiago the town for a little Santiago loses him in a crowd of hundreds shopping in the markets, and loses all his money. The boy learns not to trust anyone, and is told that there are many thieves in that town.

The opening sequence of the film introduces and defines the genre ("a filmed essay in human geography") and the setting ("a sterile and inhospitable area" in Spain). The expedition begins in Alberca with the watching of a "strange and barbaric ceremony." Once the people of the town are "drunk with wine," the expedition continues to an uninhibited monastery. Afterwards, we move on to the first village of Las Hurdes, where numerous young girls eat bread dipped in the water of a small stream. At the local school, "starving" children study geometry and educational moral lessons. Arriving in another village, the expedition meets a "choir of idiots" and then finds a young girl ill in the street. Land Without Bread then surveys the Hurdanos' diet of potatoes, beans, pork, and honey. The scene where a goat falls off a mountain and a donkey is covered and killed by bees is staged unbeknownst to the viewer. A short-lived essay on mosquitoes and malaria leads into a portion on illness and dwarfism, caused "by hunger, by lack of hygiene, and by incest.". As the camera pans across some graves marked with crosses, we hear that, "despite the great misery of the Hurdanos, their moral and religious ideas are the same as in other parts of the world." We tour a "luxurious" church before visiting the inside of a Hurdano home. As the family prepares for bed, an elderly woman walks the darkened streets, chanting of death. The expedition abruptly ends.

Regardless, the journey south continues where they find a house, full of valuables for the cold weather that the boy and father are able to garner. In this short time a group of cannibals arrive to the house they are in, and it is revealed that they are keeping a hoard of humans locked up in a cellar to feast on. Though the father is not as shocked as he would have liked to have been, the boy is absolutely horrified and is the key moment where the boy realizes that the world truly is dead. Both the father and son are able to sneak out of the house undetected, and are forced to wait in a bush near the house to keep from alerting anyone inside of their presence. Once they get back on the road, they stumble upon a patch of land full of apples, and a barn, which has fresh water stored underneath it. The spoils of their journey does the job in refreshing both the father and son, and gets them to their next destination. Arriving at a house that the father has decided they will camp at, he goes to do some exploring. In the exploring he manages to find a bomb shelter, never before plundered for its goods. The father and the boy load their cart full with food and wait a few days to spoil themselves at the bomb shelter. Once back on the road they run into an old man whom does not mean trouble unlike every other character in the road, but instead is seemingly lifeless and

A heavy downpour falls in the muddy streets. Zoomed in close-ups of soldiers’ boots stepping in muddy puddles and water splashing. Tall and short silhouettes move in slow motion toward the camera. As they move in closer, we can clearly see soldiers. Among the soldiers, are four smaller children with their arms raised and hands crossed behind their necks. They are being pushed and shoved by the soldiers. The rain falls on their dirty faces, at a standstill, as if paralyzed by an obscure resignation of expressions. Their march continues in sluggish motion. We then hear the thoughts of one of the boys, Chava, on the soundtrack: “Tengo mucha sed ... Me duelen los pies ... Tengo piedras en los zapatos ... Seguro nos van a matar ... ¿Por qué nos quieren matar, si no hicimos nada.” (I am very thirsty ... My feet hurt ... I have rocks in my shoes ... I’m sure they are going to kill us ... Why do they want to kill us? We’ve done nothing.) (Tovar Canelo) The fates of the four boys’ dawn on the audience. The suspense is almost unbearable, wanting to be able to jump into the film and save these poor and frightened children. The screen then turns white and the story begins in flashback. We got a glimpse of the ending and now we are hooked and crave for the whole

Astrid is desperate to find her little brother. She thinks that he could be with his mother at the resort that they stay at. No luck finding the little brother when they get there, but they find something strange when they get there.
