Post 2 - MARQUES

                                                   New York Public Library


      Visiting New York City is an amazing experience. There are many interesting things to do here, without mentioning the snow. In this season seams that the human beings pay close attention in each step, movement to go on. Seeing  this phenomenon to happen during the day, night, makes me think in the value of life, the power which does the world turns. In another words, it is a magnificent spectacle.
      This week we had the opportunity to visit the New York Public Library and enrich my cultural values. I could notice the importance that the United States gives for the cultural aspects, starting by the huge and marvelous building that values  those who help to build this monument. There are rooms equipped with a lot of computers where students, foreigners can research and get in touch with famous writers` writing an thoughts in their works.
      If a person wants to gift someone, that is the right place to find souvenirs from different places of  New York. On the other hand, the `Frescoes` of two rooms overwhelmed me. the details, the painting, the color, the work itself made my thoughts fly to other worlds and increase my sensibility towards the arts.
      In short , it was a relevant contribution of PDPI program to enhance our knowledge in order to have a narrow dialogue between the English and Portuguese language and open new horizons of our group of students and myself.
