Confused with the Subject.
Marianne wrote this exactly " Parece que ese época en su vida no era tan malo y tiene recuerdos positivos a pesar de ser anarquista." in Pensamientos by Heidita , which I love to read cause its got big words and advanced grammar where i find myself opening a new window to translate a few words 
.
I read it as " It appeared that time in his life where he was not very bad and ..... "
This is very common for me while reading Spanish where I always take the wrong thing as the subject when both are referred to in the "El/ella/Usted" form. Is it because Spanish has more personifications than English or is there a way to solve this problem. Gracias.

Parece que esa época en su vida no era tan mala y tiene recuerdos positivos a pesar de ser anarquista.
Hi selwich, the sentences have not been corrected yet, but good job on tuning in, you are doing very well in doing so, we must not just get stranded on the easy stuff! Good job! 
In this case, you are quite right, I thought it was "he hadn't been so bad", it could perfectly have been this way, so , once again, good job!
However, in the context it makes no sense. Marianne is referring to the time of his life, so she just got the adjective ending wrong.
And we really do not use the subject pronoun, so much so, that even we sometimes have to ask, hey, he or she? jeje
Hi Selwich
Parece que ese (esa) época en su vida no era tan malo y tiene recuerdos positivos a pesar de ser anarquista
It appears that that time in his his life was not so bad and he has positive memories (of that time) in spite of being an anarchist.
It is the época that wasn´t so bad, not the person. He is the one having positive memories. I also think it should be esa época.
Hi Selwich. Eddy and Heidita are correct (of course ).
The subject I was referring to was the time in Alvite's life.
"Parece que esa época en su vida.." (It appears that that time in his life....)
