La Llorona de mazatlan is a book about a girl and her experiences at a summer camp in Mexico. The book is based on a Central American wives tale. The tale is about a wife and her three kids. The wife's husband leaves her and their kids to start a new family and the wife ends up going insane and drowning her kids and herself in the river. As the story goes she can still be found searching the river banks crying and looking for her husband and kids. The book starts out in america where laney the main character is working to make enough money for the summer camp. She meets new friends on her flights to Mexico and when she arrives she is amazed by Mexico's beauty. The summer camp is a soccer camp so the kids are playing soccer all day and don't have much time to themselves. The cabins are small and have no windows.Laney eventually falls in love with a boy that had dated her best friend the year before. Laney has trouble sleeping and has a recurring dream of a lady with long black hair crying. One night she had the same dream but the crying lady's face looked exactly like her best friends. I was not able to read the ending so I don't know how it ends.

Reflection:
This year of spanish has been interesting. I feel the best way to learn another language is to speak and hear it and when your classes are completely online it is hard to do that. Online spanish was both easy and hard. Parts of it were hard because you can't just ask your teacher what a word is when you are sitting at home. This year was also hard because we were only able to meet once a week which is not enough time to explain the work for a week. This would leave many ends untied so when I would get to my weekly work I would be confused on how to start. Reading in spanish was always easier for me but In normal spanish classes you don't read as much as we were able to this year which i enjoyed. Though this year was hard I still feel I have learned more spanish then I did at the start of the year and would feel confident going into another Spanish class if it was offered
