Devil's Dictionary

Hoy en mi clase de Idioma III leimos un pedacito de articulo que hablaba del libro "The Devil's Dictionary".

"A Different kind of dictionary.
Ambrose Bierce was a 19th century American author and journalist. His most popular book is probably The Devil's Dictionary, written between 1881 and 1887. Bierce's dictionary does not contain normal definitions - his definitions are funny and cynical..."


La tarea era hacer que los alumnos hicieran sus propias definiciones de este diccionario tan peculiar. Lo que escribieron pues... juzguen ustedes mismos...
