If my house was on fire, I would take two bracelets my sister gave to me for my last birthday, because they would remind me of her, I would also take one of my favorites book: We have always lived in the castle by Shirley Jackson. This book is very special for me, because was my mother’s book till a few summers ago she gave it to me as a present.
Of course I would take my computer, because of obviously reasons, but I would take it too because is my uncle’s computer and I have to take care of it.
I have used three photos to say that I would take my dogs, Rori and Bartolo, and the most important thing, my parents and my sister, my family.
As well I would take a scarf that my grandmother gave to me two years ago. From my grandfather I would take the little jeweler he made as if it was a book where it says “Lucia by Ismael” (my grandmother’s name and my grandfather’s name) it is also especial for me because after he died my grandmother gave it to my so I could remember him, and from my other grandfather I would take his pair of Ray-Ban. These sunglasses are very, very special for me, because while he was alive I was always telling him how much I loved those glasses, and before he died he gave them to me.
If my house was on fire I would definitely take with me my water whistle, it is a whistle that works if you put water in it, and is very special for me because I bought it with my father when I was a little kid.
I would take too, my make-up, because I never go out of my house without it.
Another very special thing I would take with my if my house was on fire is the necklace the girls gave to me in my last birthday, it is a little “diamond”, a pink rose and a silver heart that if you open it there’s written “14” the number of girls in class.
I would also take my Iphone, so I could call the firemen or the police or someone who could help me.
I would take too, my white watch, it’s very special for me because I bought it in London and it reminds me of that travel, that was one of the bests I have ever done.
My childhood teddy that is a little rabbit, Mr. Popi, would also come with me because literally I have been all around the world with him, I took him the first time I went out of Spain, when I went to Athens, the following year when I went to Rome I took him too and when I went to Jordan I lost him in the first hotel we were and we had to return because I could not sleep without him.
For the end I would take my two favorites albums, the album with all my childhood photos and my paper doll collection album.
