My Childhood in Spain.
Good evening,
My name is Carles and I am from Valencia, a beautiful town next to the Mediterranean Sea. When I was a boy Spain had a dictator known
as Francisco Franco. He had been killing people
for around forty years without any
problem resistance. Of course I was a boy and I didn’t know anything about him and my childhood
looks felt like a perfect life. My brothers went to
the university and played music at home
of - Victor Jara and Lluis Llach.
My neighbourhood was full of children playing football between cars. It was the
time of the baby boom in Spain and I had many friends to
playing play with,
talking talk to and
fitting(???). My mother used to
bring down a basket with my snack every evening because
any none of us wanted to stop playing.
My school was terrible with two pictures of fascist men on the wall and a crucifix between them. Our books were garbage and it was really difficult to learn
something things there. My teacher loved
pain hitting? me
in on my head and I was so scared when he walked around me. I still remember someone who would beat up with a ruler
everybody anybody who open
sed his
month mouth.
Sometimes a man
coming would come to the street and
brought bring roots of liquorice which we love
d biting for hours
without any problem. I can remember like a dream people walking on the street who carr
yied food to the bakery or someone with an ice bar on his shoulder because
they he didn’t have a fridge at home.
At night, if someone didn’t have their home keys,
they used to shout “sereno!!” and a man with a uniform arrived
whit with the all the keys. It was awful because nobody could sleep waiting for the
keeper of the keys. Of course he not only brought keys,
but he was a spy who tried to know everything about the neighbourhood.
On Sunday evening
s, we loved
to go to the cinema. It was a religious school which showed us a movie
ones once a week. But before the movie, we had to see many ads about the prosperity of Spain and
his its dictator. Everybody loved him and
it was like the North Korea government currently. Its name was NODO and nobody can forget the melody.
