Lincoln, a Vampire Hunter?

Hollywood has announced that soon one of its most "original" projects will be out: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter based on the work by  Seth Grahame-Smith, published in 2010. 
Really, I can't understand how anyone can take the memory of someone so decent, so honorable and so relevant to the history of mankind and give it such treatment. I know it´s all fantasy but still I can´t shake this nagging feeling that there is something wrong in taking elements that are so different, put them together and then call that original. Also, there is something intrinsically valuable in the memory of certain characters that belongs not to one person or nation but to everyone. This common heritage should not be tarnished and if ever touched then it should be to compliment and not to ridicule. It is silly to take the memory of someone so noble such as Lincoln and downgrade it to a... supernatural demon slayer of sorts? Can they really not come up with a better idea?
You get to know a person for his actions and his feelings, usually better expressed in written form, and beyond the president of a nation in turmoil, there was a man who loved his land and above all his family, his children. Lincoln went through the greatest pain anyone can experience for he lost a child. His grief, his feeling of uncertainty when facing the reality of his son, Willie, now gone are better expressed through his own words: 
 "My poor boy, he was too good for this earth. God has called him home. I know that he is much better off in heaven, but then we loved him so. It is hard, hard to have him die!"
Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter? I don't think so.

What are LAS TRES MARÍAS called in English?

Image
(Left to right:  Alnitak ,  Alnilam  and  Mintaka )  The TRES MARIAS is this group of three bright stars that are apparently at the same distance from one another though in reality none is at the same distance. They are called like that in most of Latin America and apparently they are called the THREE KINGS (the Magi) in the Philippine Islands. The TRES MARIAS after whom those stars are named are Mary, mother of Jesus; Mary Magdalene and Mary, the wife of Clopas (probably a relative of Jesus's). To find them in the sky means you are also looking at the constellation of Orion (the Warrior), to be more precise, its belt because that is precisely what the TRES MARIAS are called in English: Orion's Belt.

The Maps of Ship-Trap Island

Image
Once I had my high school students read The Most Dangerous Game, a short story by Richard Connell. Rainsford, the main character, is a professional hunter traveling by ship to his next hunting area, accidentally ends up in an island called Ship- Trap island. When he goes into the island he finds there are two men living in a palace in the island. One of them is a Cossack general and the other, his brutish servant.  The Cossack is called general Zaroff who is also  a game hunter but has become bored of hunting regular game and now uses the island's unique position to capture sailors from shipwrecks. He lets them go first and next after some time he hunts them down. Rainford's arrival who is worldwide famous presents Zaroff with a rare opportunity to find excitement in hunting again by hunting another hunter. Little does Zaroff know that Rainsford is The Most Dangerous Game in the World and hunting him will not be easy at all. My students enjoyed themselves at reading

How do you say NACIMIENTO NAVIDEÑO in English?

Image
"Oh no! Not another power blackout!"             NACIMIENTO NAVIDEÑO or PESEBRE NAVIDEÑO is a tradition which consists in recreating the moment of Jesus Christ's birth with small figures representing Joseph, Mary, the shepherds and the Wise Kings. Baby Jesus is set on December 25th of course, while the other figures are placed before, usually at the beginning of December.       The translation is NATIVITY SCENE, though some people only say CHRISTMAS SCENE. This last term is a bit broad -- even an image of Santa Claus riding his sleigh falls under that description. Saying CHRISTMAS NATIVITY SCENE would be perhaps more appropriate.                                                                                        Merry Christmas!
