Mr. Stone read the introductory material on the Spanish writer Federico García Lorca.  A Spanish-speaking student read Lorca's "The Guitar" in Spanish, and then Mr. Stone read it from the textbook in English.  Students may enjoy this video showing Lorca and a woman reading "La guita." The class discussed the differences and concluded the original Spanish version is much more musical than the English translation.

Mr. Stone then read the introductory material on the Polish poet Czesław Miłosz  and discussed with the class the cost of being a writer with strong political views.  Mr. Stone read Czesław Miłosz's "The Encounter."
