While writing this composition about the 2017 hurricane in Puerto Rico, I learned how to research in Spanish, I read news articles in Spanish. I had to figure out how to write metaphors and similes to represent the reading in Spanish. To overcome my difficulty of creating similes and metaphors I searched up different examples of figurative language in Spanish. While reading the Times Magazine news articles I learned several new words such as “agrícola”, “techos”, y “refugiar”. Writing this composition helped me with my reading and writing skills. I was able to read the Times Magazine article without much need of using word reference. Writing this article also helped me remember to put an accent on the “a” for the word “huracán”.
