MAGNIFICENCE


      The story is about the little girl who almost got molested by his tutor. His name is Vicente. He is a conductor and volunteered as a tutor for extra money. The father of the family is very busy he usually don’t talk too much with the children. It is usually the mom who is there but then when it is tutor time they are left by their mom.

      I think the story of Estrella Alfon is well written. It shows here in this story that sometimes you need to give more time for the children. Maybe if the father is just more observant about the people around him and not too busy with his job maybe he will notice something. For me this is what Estrella Alfon wants to tells us. Let’s be observant with the people that goes inside our hearts. There are people that will try to take advantage of us. Like in this situation, they didn't even bother to check his background why he seem so fond with the kids. Maybe he love the kids but is there something that more that he wants. I can see the urge of the mother to slap Vicente. As a mother she protected her daughter. She don’t let any mosquito bite her daughter. Then this guy tried to molest her daughter. But then after that the mother was still there. He really make sure that her daughter will feel well.

      Overall I can say that this is a good story. This can be read by parents for them to realize that you need to maybe check on the people that you trust your child with. You cannot trust everyone around you. Your children are very precious. As  a parent you want them to be always safe with the people around.
