Do we know something about Nuclear Technology?

Nuclear Technology. Most of the people don´t really know what is the concrete meaning of this issue. Therefore, they don´t care about what is happening around the world; because, when you don´t understand about something, somebody is taking decissions behind you; somebody is ruling when you are not there. This is the price of ignorance.

Part five, chapters 1 and 2.

This part was confussing. However, I will try to do my best to do the summary.
Wormold and Segura met at the Havana Club. I don´t know why, but they seem to know what each of them are doing. They are playing checkers and, meanwhile, talking about their activities in Havana. Captain Segura is asking Mr. Wormold about his trips to other cities, and Wormold tells him that he was visiting his retailers. All the conversation flows between them trying to convince each other about things that they don´t really do, or, do they?: about the agents that Mr. Wormold has recruited, the kind of tortures in wich Captain Segura is an expert, the people who deserve to be tortured, etc.
When they left the club, Wormold met Beatrice and told her that Segura is one of them, and that he is really helping them; Segura is making a list of the foreign agents in Havana, the "wild ducks", that is what Segura calls them. Wormold also convinced Beatrice that he has another secret agent: the blind beggar who sits on the steps outside the Cathedral. He told Beatrice that the agent is not really blind, that his name is Miguel, and that he watches everything that is going on, specially when Wormold mets Segura, as a precaution.
When they got home, Wormold found an invitation for him to make a speech at the European Trader´s Association; he tells Milly that he doesn´t know what he is going to say on that speech.  When he went to his bedroom, he deciphered the cable form the agency, where they told him to flight to Kingston to have a meeting with Hawthorne.
Wormold traveled to Kingston. Hawthorne told Wormold that he asked  him to come because there was something of trouble with the "constructions", and with the photographs that he should have taken and delivered to the agency. They don´t wan´t only the drawings that he sent, because they are a "bit confusing".
Hawthorne also told Mr.Wormold about a conspiracy to kill him by poissoning, at the European Trader´s Association. Hawthorne encourages Wormold to go to the lunch unless he wants "the others" to start misstrusting.
During the flight back to Havana, Wormold met William Carter, a vacuum cleaner´s salesman, who gave him his card. He works at Nucleaners Ltd. At the Customs in Havana, there was Beatrice, waiting for him. She asked Wormold about the meeting in Kinston, and he said that they seemed pleased with him at the agency. He told Beatrice that Hawthorne wanted him to go to the lunch at the E.T.A. to protect his source.
I haven´t noticed, but, when I wrote down the initials in order to not having to write the hall name of the European...There were this!!! E.T.A., what are they trying to tell us? let´s wait and see in the next chapters...

"Our man in Havana"; the story so far.

Reading the fourth part of the book, was really rough, this week. I can tell that it has been difficult for me from the beginning, also. It can be true, and moreover real, that studying english this term hasn´t been easy for me. I have too much work at school, and less time and energy to do homework. Despite all this, I am trying to do my best, even when it is friday and I couldn´t be able to finish the reading nor updating my blog.
Other thing that has been given me a hard time is the fact that this story is always flowing between fantasy and reallity; it has been hard for me to know when something is false or real.
However, all the things that I just mentioned, were good for me for one reason: "The greater the struggle, the better the result". Sometimes, one needs difficulties, to be capable, to get stronger.
Okay, no more thoughts.
I will try to do a summary of the fouth part, of what I have understand.
Beatrice and Mr. Wormold were out; they went for a walk. When they came back, Milly told them about something that happened out on the street, something like a revolution: someone had tried to assasinate someone, but she really couldn´t know whose were involved. Milly thinks that Dr. Cifuentes is the one who has been killed, and, even though she doesn´t know him, she feels pity for him. It is late at night, and Mr. Wormold sends Milly to sleep, so Beatrice and him can do some work.
Beatrice thinks that this assassination is a warning for them about the roughness of "them", "the others"; she really believes that there are other Wormold´s agents, and that they have to warn Professor Sanchez and Teresa, and also to tell them to hide for a while, until it is safe.
They go to the Shangai, a streaptease show, because Beatrice wants to meet Teresa, the nude dancer. Mr, Wormold has to do an extra effort to convince Beatrice that Teresa is not there; but, there appears one girl called Teresa, by coincidence; therefore, they try to convince her about the danger situation, that her life is under risk. They finnally convince her to go to Cienfuegos with them.
They get to Vedado, a very luxurious place, with white houses owned by millionaire people. There, they are going to find professor Sanchez´s house. They enter the professor house and find him with his mistress; the woman thinks that they are spies; she believes that Maria, the professors wife, has send Beatrice and Mr Wormold to sneak on them. But professor Sanchez thinks that they only came to make trouble, so he calls the police. Thus here arises captain Segura responding the call from professor Sanchez "about a man who had broken into his house with vague threats"; they think that this is an intruder who has come to steel the valuable pictures that professor Sanchez owns.
After the investigation, captain Segura realizes that everything is in order and warns Mr. Wormold about professor Sanchez´s wife, and tells him not to get mixed up with her, and to stay away from naked women.
Captain Segura invites Mr. Wormold to play checkers, and using the movements on the board, he notifies Mr. Wormold that he knows everything about Dr. Hasselbacher, and their friendship. Furthermore, that he doesn´t trust Dr. Hasselbacher.
Mr. Wormold got to Dr. Hasselbacher´s appartment, and found him dressed up with an ancient uniform. Dr Hasselbacher tells that he only wears that uniform when he feels guilty about a man´s death,  Raul´s death. Mr. Wormold reminds him that everything and everyone, the platforms and the agents, had been invented, as a trick to convince the MI6 that he is a good spy, and that he is doing his work in Havana.
Meanwhile, in London, the chief and his guests are talking about a double agent; somebody they have inside the police office in Havana, someone who is using a game called checkers as an excuse to contact with "each other". Would they be talking about Captain Segura and Mr. Wormold? We'll have to wait and see what happens next week...

So far so good...

Mr. Wormold agreed to Mr´s Hawthorne proposal, and he has become a UK spy, the MI6´s "man in havana". He is acting like a typical Latin American. He shows one thing on the outside and another thing on the inside. He knows how to live a dual life. He also knows how to take advantage on situations, and on people too.

I also think that Mr, Wormold´s economic necessity has turned into greed so far; he is doing and saying whatever he has to, in order to get more money and more commodities. He doesn´t care if he has to lie to obtain his goals.

Last week, when I was reading, I started to think that things were driving tough for Mr Wormold, because the MI6 was going to send to Havana somebody to spy on him: Beatrice, his secretary.

But, this week, I´ve noticed that he is capable of cheating and creating fantastic stories about the agents he had recruited and their life style. And he does it very quickly, as if he was a writer or a science fiction movie´s producer. And Beatrice believes him; she really thinks that the agents are real.

I can´t wait for the time in the plot when somebody get to see what is happening. Meanwhile, I will enjoy this book as much as I am doing so far. So far so good….

Initial thoughts

This is the first time in my life that I create a blog, and this was amazing. I was afraid, because I didn´t know nothing about it, but, this is really easy doing.
