Palacio Ducale

The Palacio Ducale is situated in San Marco square, Italy. It was built between the centuries X and XI, we don’t know who designed it. The palace is made of white marble. The palace was the residence of the Dux, an important family of the govern and of the court of justice and prison. From the outside, we can see, on the first floor, an arches gallery, and big windows on the second floor. Inside there’s a renaissance style court. I’ve visited the palace once now, and the things which I like the best are the thirty six arches, and the big windows.

And he answers him that he should have took care for him, and think about the consequences, because a mind had given him with feelings and a body strongly, that he didn’t know how to direct them, and that now only had anger and hatred to kill.When the physicist and her adoptive sister get married, in the honeymoon, frankenstein kills the wife.

Giving advice

If I were you, I would be worried. Maybe your friend is in a big trouble.
I think that you should speak with your friend about this, maybe it’s all a mistake, and tell her that you’re worried.
Or maybe you should speak to Steve, because her friend is acting strangely. Ask him about your friend missing school, and that she’s looking for the money.
