OUR SECRET

I have to say that I enjoyed very much this reading because its remember me the times when in Chile the dictator Augusto Pinochet made his tricks and led a coup d’état which put and end to Allende’s government. At that time many people were tortured and then killed by his Chilean army.
I consider this reading a criticism where Isabel Allende protest against the systematic suspensions of civil liberties and violations of human rights; but, as a reader I admire her talent and her witness to involved feelings of fear, anger, impotence, love and passion in such a tragic story.
In the reading I could notice that each person have their own destiny and I learnt that the circumstances of our living never are the same, maybe we can feel emotions that make us take good or bad decisions, for example who can tell us if the decision of the man at the end of the story of leaving Ana alone after having sex with her was good or bad?, but the most importance here is to be aware in how our feelings can be disrupted after had been living a terrible experience like they lived.
This reading let me though about my personal interest and of course, it let me remember some historical aspects of the Latin-American community.
