FRANKENSTEIN: the film vs the book

I'm going to tell you some of the differences I saw between the book and the film. I'm afraid I won't be able to put them all in the perfect order 'cause I don't remeber it very well.

- At the begining, the monster appears on a sledge in the book, while he is going by foot in the film.
- Justine's mother (whose name we don't know) just appears in the film, while Ernest (Vicor's youngest brother) just appears in the book.
- Victor's mother dies because of an illness in the book, and giving birth to Victor in the film.
- In the film the guardians hang a man who thinks that the doctors who are vaccuning everyone because there's an epidemic are liars. This don't happen in the book.
- In the film, they have a party when Victor goes to the university.
- While in the book Victor meets Henry during the infancy, in the film they meet in the university.
- Victor's teacher dies in the film, but he doesn't in the book.
- The experiment is not completly secret in the book, Henry and the teacher know about it.
- In the film the laboratory it's not in a far island like in the book.
- Victor doesn't go to the prison in the film.
- What does not happen in the book is that, the monster saves Felix from another man who hit him and then they enter to the house.
- In the film the monster doesn't save a girl from a river.
- There's no trial before hanging Justine in the film.
- While in the book the photo of William's chain is from Victor's mother, in the film is from Victor.
- Victor's father dies of sadness because of Elizabeth's death in the book, but he's killed by the monster in the film.
- In the film Victor finally cannot continue with the female monster because it was the Justine's body.
- In the book, the monster drown Elizabeth, while he pulls out her heart in the film.
- In the film, Victor wants to give life to Elizabeth again 'cause he can't stand beeing without her. Then she wakes up and realises that is like the monster, although she recognizes Victor. After she commites suicide.
- The monster burns himself near the Victor's dead body in the film.

Spaghetti with carbonara.

Today I'm going to tell you the recipe to do spaghetti with carbonara. I love them and when my parents are not at home it's the dish I usually cook 'cause it's not really difficult.

Ingredients (for 5 persons):
- 500g of spaghetti
- 500mL of cream fresh
- 300g of bacon
- two eggs
- some cheese (parmesan or grana padano)
- some oil
- salt

Procedure:
1.- Put some water in a pot (like a half of it). Then include a spoonful of oil and some salt on it.
2.- Put a pan on the stove and wait for a while for it to get hot.
3.- Throw the bacon on the pan and then, when it's "gold" include the cream fresh. Turn it over a low and stir.
4.- When the water boils, throw the spaghetti to the pot.
5.- Keep stiring the sauce and throw some cheese (as much as you feel like).
6.- Beat the eggs.
7.- Take the spaghettis out of the pot and put them on the pan with the sauce,
8.- Immediatly, throw the beated eggs to the pan and stir quickly.
9.- Finally you can eat them!

However there are lots of ways to cook carbonara, this is mine. I used to do it without egg, but one day my father tried it and we liked it.
I invite you to try it and tell me if it's good or not, although the answer will obviously be yes!lool
I hope you like it!

Tennis club's renovation.

I know I talked about the tennis before, but know I'm concretly going to talk you about the renovation of my tennis club.
My tennis club (Club tennis Alt Empordà-Figueres) is in Figueres. It's near the hospital, the sports hall and next to the athletics court. Since I've been going there, when I was nine, everything has changed a little each year.
The firsts years everything was perfect, we could go to the tennis club perfectly, we did matches and we could train in the fourth courts. But everything started to change. There was a project to renovate the hospital and all that area, included the roads. Moreover, there was a problem in the third court, and nobody came to repare it during lots of months.
So, then we just had three courts, and the way to arrive to the club was wuite longer, 'cause we had to make a long detour, nevertheless is longer now.
Then they started another project, they battered down the swimmingpool next to the club to build a parking, so tehy also battered down our first court. Lucky us, the third court had finally been reapred. What's more, they went off our electricity, so we had to go to Peralada courts for some weeks.
The only positive thing is that, in these projects is included a renovation of our tennis club. Now they're reparing the three courts, 'cause we could train on them, but they were really old and thebounces were terrible. So now, since two weeks ago we're going again to Peralada to train. We meet our trainers in Figueres and they bring up us there and then my fathers comes to pick me up.
This renovation of the old courts is expected to be finished on April, although I think it's going to be on June....lool. After, when the parking will be finished they will build four more courts on the top of it, so it will be great. What a pity that when it all will be finished I'll probably be in the university..:(
One of the most negatives point of taht is that this course we haven't been able to do matches 'cause the tennis club was not in the right conditions.
