Because we are all human beings, we can emphasize with the feelings displayed throughout the intricate storylines: love, anger, despecho... who has not felt betrayed by a friend at some point or another in his or her life?<br /><br />At times telenovelas can even reflect our own lives. <br /><br />This is what allows my english-speaking friends to sit and watch Eva Luna with me whilst not being bored out of their minds. Even if specific words and expressions evade them, the feelings and charged atmosphere are communicated in a way unique to the genre.<br /><br />-CarlaCellaBellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881969970252878948noreply@blogger.com
