This book interested me because of how it is writen, it does not follow the regular pathern. its more like reading a group of short istories.

"Victoriano Gomez died on 8 february in the small town of San Miguel, El Salvador. He was shot under the afternoon sun, in the football stadium".

This is one of of the stories that I enjoyed reading the most, the real reason is a bit misterous to me. I fiogured out some of it after reading and consentrating on this story. I actually read it four times before I realized how important it was. when I was little I loved to hear my grand father tell me stories of the acient times. I remember him telling me how Romans used to go to the coliseum, to watch gladiators fight to death or gladiators fight animals. In a strange way after I read how the people were sitting in the stadium waiting for the execution. the way it is described how the stadium was full and some people could not even find a seat, this reminded me of the coliseum. They were waiting for someone to die and the Salvadorans were desperate to see it.



"Death loses its literalness at that distance: it stopsbeing deathand instead it becomes the spectacle of death".

If death has turned into a game,the question is what are we? a player or an spectator.
