Let mild character preamble priori on the title that the author chooses for generating multiple novel and symbolic conjugates. One could imagine at the outset that this novel will become the story of a male element which is used to the rigors of shaving and decency, or perhaps Rosero predicts that his story will have the intricacies of the underground and therefore a sharp object used to express the ways criminal action ; I do not think the association is enough to frame the bringing about of a personality archetype or that curled towards the concept of a nickname that denotes the characteristics of a teacher.
Well, tell that Evelio José Rosero presents his work Blade the relationships that are hatched in constant confrontation is forged in the daily meetings of teachers and students, and in the middle of it relates indirectly the future of school teachers, particularly teachers of history, which apparently should be having a more reflective about their work, and therefore the human.
But no. This story is not the claim of the figure of the teacher as an example, a model or a guide in the construction and consolidation of judgments about knowledge, rather, is reconstructed from the opponents, the scenes outside the classroom class in which both participants in the educational process are revealed, they face themselves, supplemented able to overcome the learning of everyday life what it means to be human.
Guillermino Lafuente (name rather dogmatic and outdated) is professor of history at sixth-graders who no longer afraid of him, and feel like hearing him disappear down the hall and into another room to which his deep voice hoarse and can not access. This was seen in the first pages:
- What is it! He shouted. heck! What happens me, kids! You all have a stake in the heart, sweetie. Lost and history this month. (p. 21)
The truth is that the environment of the kind of story is mortal, as if it were a real class history live and direct from the Thousand Days War or the Napoleonic wars, as they are the heads and threats ranging from stall to stall; zero after zero turns hostile environment and it remains to resign and duck down so that the voice comes Blade less strong and yours roll head unless your partner of course, especially if it's your brother, and it being a twin.
history class, the first of the day in morning, newly built, with a little rather than mental laziness, your twin next door, and reweigh right in front of your nose the stinking smell of history professor who has become hysterical because his wife has left him not sleeping at home drunk, giving like that old song of your socks at or hair color of the girl's background, correcting posture and severely hurt any attempt to laughter in the room. No noooo no no and can not, something must be done! I say do, do something! ...
But we should not raise suspicion and should be something that really succeeds in altering the mood of Blade, so the twin manages to leave every morning before that the teacher arrives, a special note addressed to his mediocrity, his bitterness and intolerance, in pseudo-class stupidity, your bad breath poisoner and his suit wet and smelly. Something that does not betray who also writes, but leave you with uncertainty, with a Trasnocho worse than to bring, so get to work.
And in this environment holds the novel, instead of chapter is divided into Assaults, to make it more stressful: a letter to the teacher Guillermino a Monday morning and a punishment that is not enough to away for lack of evidence, victory! A lampoon against the absurd content of the class of Mr. Lafuente and a scolding Mitigating massive threat to where it is found the traitor; bell! A superb fit of despair and a handmade little letter highlighting the degrading and depressing aspect of Professor blade with his foul mood, and ready. Caught the patient!
Thereafter happens so I could not tell, for indeed it is the end of a history in which a pair of twins find the reality of their history teacher, and what is better, Professor discovers the emotional and cognitive needs of their students. So that educational ties are strengthened and supplemented to make way for a reflection well structured the teaching-learning process, especially when there are still such teachers who do not think at all in the context and knowledge situations of interest to their students.
