« down past the steep street that led to the bridge across the Arga. »

« down past the market »

« their cages into the corrals. »

« Then they pulled up the door of the cage. »

«  the great brown cathedral »

« You have to drink plenty of wine to get it all down »

« The driver helped us down with the bags. There was a crowd of kids watching the car »

« It is always cool in the down-stairs dining-room and we had a very good lunch »

« We passed the bull-ring »

« We passed the bull-ring, high and white and concrete-looking in the sun, and then came into the big square by a side street and stopped in front of the Hotel Montoya »

 This extract revolves around how much jake and hus friends have appreciated the city of Pampelona, try a lot of cafés and wine shops, spending most of their money in these.

The first part deals with the fiesta, a renown and traditional spanish fiesta with bulls.

The second part revolves around Pampelona, its narrow streets and what they have done during the morning, which is going to be buying wine.

Starting with the second part of the text, the four other parts after this one mostly talk about Pampelona's cathedral and its surroundings.

We then have chosen this place as the topical theme of this extract, since it is the one that is the most represented

Extrat 2- Chapter 10: Noé B, Emma L, Hugo K, Camille C

« I went to the Ayuntamiento and found the old gentleman who subscribes for the bull-fights tickets […] so that was all set. »

« We  went out to walk around under the arcade to the Café Iruña for coffee. »

« I saw Cohn coming over across the square. »

« At the end of the street I saw the cathedral and walked up toward it. The first time I ever saw it I thought the facade was ugly but I liked it now. I went inside. »

The end of the fiesta

« The white-paper announcements of the unloading of the bulls and the big schedules of trains were still up on the pillars of the arcade. »

« The cafés were just opening[…] I sat in one of the wicker chairs »

« The square was empty and there were no people on the streets »

DARLING

     When I opened my tired eyes, I was in a dark and mysterious room that I did not recognize. I was dressed up as usual but I felt weird, my body seemed different. I walked out of the special room and again everything was different, that was not my childhood house. I was all alone and I had no memories that my parents had told me they had to leave the house. 

    I was walking in the huge corridor when I suddenly heard someone who seemed to be climbing the stairs. I pondered for a few minutes and then decided to hide. I entered in the nearest room, still nobody. The intriguing footsteps were coming towards the door. I felt afraid as well as panicstricken. I locked the heavy black door and hid under a wooden bed. While I was waiting the lights in the corridor were turned on. I watched under the door and I saw two black shoes. The man started to call me “Honey” nonetheless I did not understand why. I had never heard that imposing voice before. I went out of my little hide and turned the lights on.

     Suddenly I saw my face in the navy-blue mirror, I was older because my face was really different and I was taller. While I was looking at me in the huge mirror, the door opened, the man appeared with a bloody knife and said : “Darling, did you have a good sleep ?”...
