Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Hello friendos

Your librarian here with a tip

Ditch Duolingo and their AI and use your library card to access Mango or Rosetta at your library. You can also check out language CDs and DVDs, as well as books, phrase books, dictionaries and e-resources.
