Brujas!














Quiero buscar mas informacion de brujas y las cosas que pueden hacer que son sobrenaturales. Las historias que yo he leído, las brujas hicieron cosas similares que eran sobrenaturales. Se convertían en guajolote y chupaban sangre. Las historias que yo leí eran de México. Yo puedo buscar historias de otro lugares del mundo para ver si las brujas hacen cosas similares o diferentes. Luego puedo agrupar las cosas similares que hacen las brujas en diferentes grupos.

Brujas

Voy a estudiar historias de brujas. Quiero estudiar esta tema porque para mi, esta tema es muy interesante. A mi me gusta leer historias de miedo y pues las historias de brujas que yo he leido no me han dado miedo. Me han dado curiosidad. Porque lo que leo dice que las brujas pueden volar y se pueden convertir en animales. Como un guajolote negro por ejemplo. Y eso no es normal. Las cosas sobrenaturales me dan mucha curiosidad.
