    About this ebook

    PREFACE
    EL DESAYUNO - BREAKFAST
    This is the first of a series of books that thematically develops in the child the ability to communicate in Spanish. The concepts and conversational patterns are presented in a simple, easy- to- follow, step- by- step manner.
    This book, though it is intended for children of all ages that have limited or no knowledge of the Spanish language, can be very useful for an adult that would like to learn and communicate in everyday conversation within the theme presented in each book.

    PRESENTATION OF CONCEPTS
    1. With each illustration, which is clear and to the point, the child can see what is being taught.

    2. The Spanish word is written next to the illustration in CAPITAL, bold, large print letters.
    3. The phonetic pronunciation appears in parentheses to facilitate and make it easy for the parent or child to read the word.

    4. The translation is also given to avoid any confusion about what the picture represents.


    5. The concepts that are not represented with an illustration, image or picture, but that are necessary to develop the patterns of conversation, will appear enclosed in a box and are followed immediately by their application in sentences and phrases, thus developing the patterns of conversation related to the theme.

    6. When a box with a new concept appears, it will always be followed by the conversational application of that concept.

    7. You will see the same concept appear in a box in subsequent pages where its application with new vocabulary or more complex conversational patterns are being presented. The purpose for this, even though it seems redundant and repetitious, is to help the child or the parent avoid having to go back to previous pages in case they might have forgotten the concept. This gives more flow and continuity to the learning and memorization process.

    8. At the end of the book, pictures of breakfast items and the Spanish words will appear with no phonetic sounds, no translations and no boxes with the concepts they have learned. This is to test the childs memory and see if the learning process has been achieved.

    RECOMMENDATION
    Once the child has learned a new word and the sentence structure that goes with the new word, parents should encourage the child to use it throughout the day every time the opportunity presents itself.

    Author

    Miss Ina

    Evangelina Alexandra Rivas Lamarche, known by all of her students as Miss Ina, pronounced Miss Ena, was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She has been teaching Spanish for 27 years, and during that time she developed her own conversational Spanish program Spanish in Action to teach and develop in a simple, practical, and natural manner conversational patterns in children and adults in a short period of time. Her program has been established in the state of Florida in many schools and preschools throughout Palm Beach County and Martin County. She is the mother of five beautiful children that she homeschooled for most of their life. Three of them are successful professionals and the two youngest are in college. Her vibrant personality and passion for teaching, her natural approach to teach the Spanish language, and the belief that language should be approached as a whole, including all the beautiful aspects of the culture, the music, dances, the food, the social aspects and the cultural way of thinking, has made learning Spanish for children as well as adults an exciting, fun, interesting and stimulating experience. She has successfully trained many teachers under the techniques and methodology of her program and has changed the view of learning a language to become a positive experience. Her convictions that learning a language should be stimulating, exciting and fun has given her the drive and desire to write a series of books, with elements that will easily engage the child into reading and the conversational application of the concepts that are presented in each book. The first of the series EL DESAYUNO -BREAKFAST has clear and to -the- point illustrations. The vocabulary, concepts and conversational application as well as the phonetic pronunciations and translation guide the child in a flowing manner to go from word and concepts right into the practical application. Her goal with these books is two-fold: 1) that every child will fall in love with the Spanish language, and 2) that their desire and enthusiasm for learning will drive them to want to become fluent in a language that has become a necessary tool in the professional and business world as well as any other line of work in our society.

      I've only read two Vonnegut books, and as this one is a bit of a 50th birthday exercise for KV to say goodbye to his characters (as Jefferson freed his slaves at age 50, apparently), my impression may not be an altogether true one. But it is this: Kurt Vonnegut only really writes one book, it gets new chapters from time to time, it is brilliantly different in that the perspective is a special sort of 4th wall meets omniscient narration.
      I thought sections of BoC were beautifully mind-expanding. I became aware of how his work had influenced other writers I like (Phillip K Dick and Grant Morrison). If not everyone else... seriously - is any writer not a fan of KV? Probably, I'm just too lazy to google it.

      The pacing, and variance of theme, are beautiful in Breakfast of Champions. Also, a little personally therapeutic, on the author's part (I assume - along with his suggestion) riffing on the subjects of emotion, depression, suicide, and paternal legacy.

      The actual climax was dull compared to the build-up, I'm afraid. Otherwise I may have gone to 5 stars. Also, the idea that reading one KV book is such a similar experience to reading another is something that costs it a little charm for me. I like when an artist gives a different sort of picture, or variation enough to provoke you to keep walking in the gallery.

      Fully enjoyable. Happy to have chosen it as my vacation read. Goes well with sand and waves and mostly naked people walking around like that's perfectly normal.
    • 4/5
      It's 1972, remember. Authors are playing with the relationship between author as Creator and Creator as defunct. Gunther Grass, in Cat and Mouse (by memory - as I can't find my copy) flings the skies across the heavens in an act of authorial creativity at around the same time Vonnegut was calling Trout and Hoover ex nihilo. It makes a point, perhaps. Vonnegut makes many points in this romp. Some he makes well, others I sense he loses control of. He parodies much of the malaise of 1970s americana, though he overdoes penis size. We end up with escapism-with-meaning. Vonnegut can do better - but many have done worse.
    • 3/5
      maybe my steady diet of Vonnegut has raised my expectations ? so far Bluebeard and Player Piano are my favorites !
    • 4/5
      This was my first Vonnegut novel (I previously had only read some of his short fiction) and I really enjoyed it. His writing style is unlike anyone else's in a delightful -- though perhaps "acquired taste" -- sort of way. This book satirizes American culture and makes some vitally important statements about racism and other social ills that feel timely today, decades after its publication.
    • 3/5
      Kurt Vonnegut is a weird dude. This book is all but impossible to fit into a category of literature, but I suppose Science Fiction is as close as you can get. The book is basically the story of a few rather pathetic characters and their meandering lives working toward an intersection. Vonnegut puts himself into the story as the creator of the characters and throughout the story he tells you what is going to happen at the end. I am not sure if there are any real lesson to be learned from this novel, but it certainly makes the reader think about humanity and who really controls our lives.
    • 5/5
      Technically I had finished this just before going out with Sara and then over to Pizza Boy; but I'm only now getting to put it up as finished.

      Breakfast of Champions has always been one of my favorite Vonnegut reads. The 'attacks' heaved against America by Vonnegut were spot on then.... and (sadly) still spot on. His comments and views on the race issues of then and (still) today are just as true and just as poignant.

      His other statements against commercialism, the rich vs. the poor, how our minds work, etc, are all still very strong, true, and resonate greatly. This is Vonnegut in ultra-cynic mode too, maybe not as much as when he wrote 'A Man Without a Country' but still very cynical of the US, of people, and of our philosophies and ideas.
    • 3/5
      I probably should have read more of his work before attempting this. "The planet was being destroyed by manufacturing processes, and what was being manufactured was lousy, by and large."
    • 3/5
      Bought this book in 1980 in former Joegoslavia. did not finish it then and understand know why. sometimes its funny but parts are also boring. The messages all of us is chemistry and you create your universe are prominent through the book. Relieve that it is finished is not a great recommandation

      test2: one of the best vonnegut books
    • 3/5
      I read this book recently because it was mentioned in Among Others. The simplified didacticism of the writing style implies the reader is from the distant future or is not human (or in reality invites the reader to recognize absurdity). AO breadcrumbs: didn't notice any.
    • 3/5
      Vonnegut gives us a tale of madness in his usual loopy and hilarious style. Why not throw in a little art, racism, economic disparity and environmentalism? But beware: not all is lightness and satire here. Vonnegut can be as dark as he is funny. His own drawings are a bonus.
    • 4/5
      One of my favorite Vonnegut novels (to date).
    • 5/5
      Vonnegut proves again he is one of the best.
    • 4/5
      sooo good and doesn't everybody know it. my favorite Vonnegut. and hey, the movie with Bruce Willis is actually really good. it's an 90's interpretation of the book. worth checking out.
    • 4/5
      I liked the drawings in this book. I enjoyed this more than Slaughterhouse.
    • 5/5
      One of the great trilogy of KV books (Slaughterhouse, Cat's, Breakfast). Kilgore Trout and used cars!
    • 2/5
      I don't know how many books I've read by Vonnegut now but I'd guess around 10. This was by far my least favorite. There were a lot of specific lines I loved and kept going back and re-reading but as a book I found it slow and tedious. I've taken a break from Vonnegut and it's really too bad. He's a Socialist, he's funny and he's smart. What else do I want in a lover/author?
    • 3/5
      Although I didn't care for this nearly as much as some of his other works, I must give Mr.Vonnegut credit for one thing he has Kilgore Trour say. When asked if he fears the future, Kilgore says, "it is the past which scares the bejesus out of me." That line skewered me and was worth the price of the book.
    • 4/5
      This is one of the first titles anywhere hears associated with Vonnegut, and, in my limited knowledge of Vonnegut, I think that's a fine thing. It's a quintessential Vonnegut piece.
    • 5/5
      I thought this book accomplished an amazing thing. It portrayed humanity in all its grotesqueness, stupidity, irrationality, insanity, and cruelty, and yet still convinced me that we are, each of us, "unwavering bands of light." This was the perfect read at the perfect time for me, still as relevant in 2016 as it was when it was written. And John Malkovich did a fantastic job as narrator.
    • 4/5
      Vonnegut is the only author I have encountered that I think comes across better as an audio production. I'm listening to it a second time, just because, so that will be three times all together when done. A good start since you can't get it all at once. I did not enjoy as much as Slaughterhouse Five, but I can't tell where to rank it compared to Cat's Cradle. I enjoy the perspective on mental illness - it is pretty modern. Not sure the dimensions of certain body parts really adds anything....If anyone knows where I can get an audio of Galapagos...
    • 4/5
      A weird, and wonderful novel! With lots of illustrations, that are also weird and wonderful! Science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and car salesman Dwayne Hoover are the two main characters who eventually cross paths in Midland City. It is a strange story, yet it contains powerful observations of the United States - its history, its political and social agendas (especially the plight of the African Americans) , and its declining environmental health. The story also mentions the length and width of all the male characters' penises. The author himself appears as a character toward the end of the book, though his "voice" is heard throughout. It is a bit unconventional, but I found that to be refreshing and entertaining. Goodbye Blue Monday! And so on.
    • 5/5
      Brilliant. One of Vonnegut's favorite recurring characters, Kilgore Trout, is invited to a Festival of the Arts in Midland City, to speak at the opening of a new arts center. This book tells the story of Trout's journey, with parallel stories for the characters he will meet when he arrives in Midland City.

      Vonnegut uses very dark humor and satire and novelizes society's wretched underbelly of shortcomings: racism, sexism, inhumanity, war, advertising, apathy, pollution, and so on -- it's all held up to the light and examined here. Vonnegut employs metafiction and includes his own sketches in the print version.

      The message is intricate, immense, and simple all at the same time. To quote another of his stories, it seems to always boil down to this: G*d dammit, you've got to be kind.

      A warning: black humor and heavy satire infuse this story -- if you don't appreciate them or at least keep them in mind, you'll be offended.
    • 1/5
      I hated this book. It made no sense. I have no idea what it was about. It is a literary Seinfeld.
    • 4/5
      Thus far one of the best discoveries of reading through the 1001 book list is Vonnegut. Breakfast of Champions is written in his signature style of short simple sentences. My take away from this book was concerns about mechanistic explanations for humanity and how much (if any) free-will the majority of us have.
    • 5/5
      the best 'intersecting characters' story i've ever read.
    • 3/5
      This is the third Vonnegut book I've read...and possibly one that makes me feel he was a bit unstable himself. In Slaughterhouse Five, I thought everyone was purposefully crazy to give the impression that war is crazy (like Catch-22). Welcome to Monkey House was a selection of short stories, which I felt were excellent...but this was jut like crazy after crazy. Entertaining book to be sure. And I loved the digs at american history and culture. But crazy!! :)
    • 4/5
      Always fun to read Kurt Vonnegut. As an author, he's right in there with his characters and whatever shreds of plot he has given them to act out. And I'm happy to be in there with him.
    • 5/5
      Holds a special place in my brain
    • 5/5
      Best book of all time. That's that.
