Morose

I was reading some entries here on Italki and I came across this word 'Morose' which [is | was] new to me.

I searched for its translation and it is translated as 'taciturno' and even when is in Spanish I didn't know its meaning , this . It is not a very common word; I've only heard it in a song. This The song is called 'Fotografias' and it's sang sung by Juanes and Nelly Furtado.

I searched for the meaning of this word and I found [out] that it means a deep sense of sadness and melancholy and that is the [same] feeling the song [I talked about] evokes.

[That's | It's] the perfect song to [hear | listen to] on a rainy day like this. I'm actually listening to it while I'm writing, the only thing missing [here] is a cup of hot chocolate and sweet bread.

<em>Morose is a great word, though somewhat rare in modern English (as is the word melancholy). I put corrections in green and anything optional in brackets. Just a few small errors. And discovering words on a rainy day with a cup of hot chocolate sounds lovely :)</em>

Experiences

I´m going to talk about my experience in Mexico city.

I had never been at to Six Flags but finally I went | I finally went 2 years ago. The experience was frightening because one  the night before, I had been in a bar and [I] drank a lot. The first game  ride I got on was "Medusa". When it finished I felt sick.

I´ve already been in to the "MUNAL" a twice. Each time I´ve gone I´ve taken pictures of Jose Maria Velasco´s paintings. I´ve taken around 300 pictures of | in that place, I like it too so much. [All over the place] there are awesome works of art.

I´ve I haven't visited Frida Khalo´s museum yet. I´m going to go in on | during my next vacation.

I´ve already been in to Chapultepec´s castle, Bellas Artes Palace, Soumaya Museum and Zocalo too.

[Going] sightseeing in Mexico City has been thrilling.

<em>Some small errors--I've marked the corrections in green. If things are optional or unnecessary, I put them in [brackets]. It sounds like you had a lot of fun, though I'm sure that riding theme park rides while hungover was probably not fun at the time :)</em>

The Epic of Gilgamesh

Yesterday I finished reading "The Epic of Gilgamesh" which in my opinion may be intrest to (or - may be intresting for?) the | may (still) interest or may be of interest to or may still be interesting to] contemporary people [. Because the poem's heroes as ours as have the passions. | , because the poem's heroes have the same passions as ours.*] To disgrace Enkidu Gilgamesh sends the prostitute called Shamhat to him. And in the end she tempts him so the great warrior gives up and loses his extraordinary glory. After he has engaged in fornication the wild animals (his close friends-beasts) leave him and he [stays | ends up]* alone.

[On | As] an exemple of life this poem's heroes's [we can notice how | show how]* sin affects person's life and how in a jiffy* the great warrior can lose his glory.

The Epic of Gilgamesh

Yesterday, I finished reading <em>The Epic of Gilgamesh</em>, which in my opinion, may still be interesting to contemporary people, because the poem's heroes have the same passions as ours*. To disgrace Enkidu, Gilgamesh sends the prostitute called Shamhat to him. And in the end, she tempts him, so the great warrior gives up and loses his extraordinry glory. After he has engaged in fornication, the wild animals (his close friends, the beasts) leave him, and he ends up* alone.

As an example of life, this poem's heroes show how* sin affects a person's life and how quickly the great warrior can lose his glory.

Notes (*):

1. I'm assuming "ours" indicates that the poem's heroes have the same passions as our modern heroes, which would be shorted to the word "ours". But you might also say "the poem's heroes have the same passions as us," talking about contemporary people in general. I'm not sure which one you intended.<em></em>

2. "Ends up" sounds a bit more natural. "Stay" implies that he remains alone throughout the narrative (when actually he ends up becoming friends with Gilgamesh!)

3. I'm treating "this poem's heroes" as the subject of this sentence--otherwise, I'm not sure how that phrase would fit.

I hope that helped! Did you like <em>The Epic of Gilgamesh</em>? It really is an interesting story!
