    Marriage Story

    I watched the Nextflix movie named Marriage Story because one of my favorite YouTube Channels mentioned it. I like the YouTube channel "Te lo resumo asi nomas" which has movie summaries. One of the channel's top 10 movies of 2019 was Marriage Story.

    The story is very simple. It is about a couple with one kid who gets divorced. The cast includes people I know as Black Widow (Scarlett Johanson) and Kylo-Ren (I don't know the name of the actor). I was surprised by the casting since I know these two actors from commercial movies. They are not bad actors but also not the best actors ever. In this movie, they really surprise me and showed another a different side.

    It is a normal movie but I understand the reason that the movie was part of the top ten. I don't know if I would recommend it, but it could be a good option if you don't have anything you want to watch on Netflix.

    New Year's Eve in Spain

    Do you know how we celebrate the New Year in Spain? By eating twelve grapes! According to the tradition, you have to eat them one by one, in time with the striking of the clock at midnight on December 31st. If you manage to eat all the grapes in time, you are in for a year of prosperity and good luck. Whether or not you believe in magic, you should try the experience. It’s great fun! The grapes are the most anticipated moment of New Year’s Eve. The chiming of the clock is broadcast on TV all over Spain. This year, my friends, my wife and I will get together at home for a delicious dinner and then we will have the twelve grapes. Other people prefer going to the town central square, where the city hall is located, and a large clock is on top of it, to eat the grapes together and share the last minutes of the old year. Whatever the way you see it in, I hope you have a great 2020 (and be careful not to choke on the grapes!)

    Editor's note: So cool to learn about this tradition! Thanks for sharing. Your writing is wonderful! Happy New Year!

    Please read my short writing about Jack London:

    Jack was born in the slums of San Francisco in 1876. He died at the age of 40 in 1916 in his ranch after living a life tainted with poverty and struggles with health largely due to alcoholism.

    His mother shot herself when her husband said he is not my child and you need to have an abortion.He was raised by a former slave,Virginia Prentiss. (Editor note: I'm not sure what you mean by this? Perhaps clarify wording here!)
    One of his most famous books is <em>White Fang</em>. He published it around 1906.
    When Jack was 21, he participated in the Klondike gold rush. This inspired the setting of his famous <em>White Fang</em> novel.
