Up in arms

Hello classmates!

Today I’m going to talk about things or situations that get me up in arms. My friends sometimes said me that I am get angry with facility. When I was in the high school, a lot of things kept me up in arms, now I think that is changing, I am more relax, I think.

One thing that get me up in arms, is the literature self-help. I don’t hate all this type of literature, but I don’t like the authors that tell you “if you want, you can get it”, “you can be happy only if you are proposing” “you are inventing your own problems” and all these shits. I hate that, the life isn’t perfect, there are a lot of problems. Why we have to be happy all the day? It’s necessary the sadness, the anger. It’s boring be happy all the life, and is impossible, always appear some problems.

Other thing. I get up in arms when I listen some critics to the student movement. Sometimes I listen “all these students are lazy, they have to be studying if they want to change something”. I hate that, I cannot be relax, be calm when I listen some people saying that. The last protest, I was there when a police catch a student and start to hit him because he tried to escape, I listen a person near there saying “the police have to hit all these students”, seriously? When I listen that, I start to argue with him, I get “up in arms”, I hate these people.

I think that's all, bye!

The final activity

Hello classmates!

Today I’m going to talk about the activity “Travel to London”. Well, this activity was entertaining, because we had to look for activities to do in London. So, we had to look for in google about museums, monuments, parks, etc. I almost never did traveled to other country. Just, when I was a kid, I traveled to “Mendoza”, but I didn’t remember too much. For that, this activity was funny, because looking for places to “visit”, I got to know about this city.

I would like to visit the London Eye, the Tate Modern, the Southbank Center and some parks and museums. Also, I would like visit some pubs and bars, I think that also is important to visit. Not only museums and parks, also is important, for me, know about the London’s night, his bohemia. So, I didn’t like to visit only museums and parks.

I would like do this trip with my classmates because we are young and, partly for that, we have the same interest. So, we could hang out in parties, in pubs, etc.

That’s all! Bye!

Interestellar

Well, today I’m going to talk about my favorite film. Again, always when I have to choose my favorite film, I can’t decide. When I think in my favorite films, I think in three movies: “Her”, “Interestellar” “Batman: The Dark Knight”. “Her” is a romantic film. It’s a very good film. Here acts Joaquin Phoenix. “Batman: The Dark Knight” is an action film. I don’t like action movies, but this movie is different. The characters of this movie are awesome. Heath Ledger acts like the joker, and his acting is memorable. Finally “Interestellar” also is an awesome film. Today I choose this movie like my favorite movie. I saw this movie on October, 2014, in the cinema. I waited for this movie, because I love his director Christopher Nolan. In this film acts Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway y Michael Caine. All acted good, especially the acting of Matthew McConaughey. The genre of this movie is the drama and Sci-Fi. The story of the movie is that in the future there will be a natural disaster, and for that, every day, the life there gets worse, because the air is every day worse and the food is ending. For that, some explorers have to find other worlds that the humanity can colonize. Matthew McConaughey is one of these explorers. The themes of the movie are about space, universe, wormhole, the future, the past, the law of relativity, etc. One of my favorite scenes of this movie, is when Matthew “travel to the future” (is hard to explain in few words) and he listen the messages from his sons (they sent messages as they become older). When I saw this scene in the cinema, I couldn’t stop crying.

One of my favorite artists: "Cevladé"

Well, I have to choice one of two topic. I choose write about one of my favorite artist. It’s difficult choose a favorite artist, because I love music, I try to listen to music all the day, so I know a lot of bands and artists. The name of the artist that I chose is called “Cevladé”. His real name is Wladimir Espinoza, he is a Chilean singer. He is a rapper and when I knew him, I started to listen to this type of music. I think that I like too much this artist, because their songs contain influence of literature. Also he has an album called “El gato negro” and this is an adaption of the story of Edgar Allan Poe. Is a great song, is awesome how Cevlade adapts the story to a rap song. The album “el gato negro” is composed for four songs, and all have too much literary influence. This album is composed for “el gato negro”, “Madrigal triste” (adaptation for a poem of Baudelaire), “Noche del infierno” (adaptation for a poem of Rimbaud) and finally “Nave estelar” that is a creation of Cevlade. I don’t know which is my favorite song of Cevlade. I try to think, but is very difficult choose only one song. So, I’m going to tell you four songs, but I only going to put one video. The four songs are “Madrigal triste”, “Las lagrimas no ayudan”, “La apología de Lucifer” and finally “Hijo”. I loved the lyrics of these four songs.

Somethings that i would like to learn

Hello everyone

I’m going to talk about me. I have to talk about something that I would learn to do. It’s difficult, because there are lots of things I would like to learn to do. For example, I like listen to music, a lot. Also I play the guitar. But I would like to learn to play others instruments. An instrument that I love how sounds, it’s the saxophone. I think that is an instrument very beautiful, but the big problem is that this instrument is very expensive. However, that instrument I would like to learn to play. 

Other thing that I would like to learn is about Cinema. I love watching movies. Two years ago I start to watch a lot of films, like 1 film per day. I see Germany films, French films, etc. I start to love some independent films, not all, but some independent films were great. So, I would like to learn about the world of cinema.

Also, I would like to learn about literature. I love read novels, but now as I am in the university and I don’t have free time, I can’t read novels. When I was in the high school, I tried to read a lot of novels, in that period I learned a little about literature.

That’s all, bye!

Hello everybody

Today I’m going to talk about Santiago. I was born in Santiago, in Maipú. So, I lived all my life in this city. Somedays I like Santiago and somedays I hate it. I like Santiago, especially the center of Santiago, because is different, there are a lot of things to visit. Also, I like, for example, the “Parque Forestal”, this place is very near than the center of Santiago. I don’t know why I like the center of Santiago. I can’t explain because I think there is not so pretty, but I like it, maybe because in the center of Santiago and near, there are museums, restaurants, and all you want, I think.

I dislike Santiago because some people in the street and in the public transport they are angry, stressed. They just walk, they don’t talk and they don’t smile. I know this happens because the day in Santiago is very fast, they go out late for their homes, the public transport is bad. So, I know that not all the problem is responsibility of the people, but of the system of live that exists.

I think if the public transport was better and people do not work so much, Santiago would be a better place.

I recommend if I talk with a visitor, that he have to go to “Parque Forestal”, also he have to go to Bellavista if he want to have a good time and I would tell some streets that he has to visit for know Santiago.

That’s all, Bye!

Hello everybody

I’m going to talk about me and why I chose Sociology. When I was in High School, I liked a lot History. So, for that, I thought being history teacher, because also I liked to teach. When I was sixteen years old, I was interested in politics, learn about conflicts in Chile and understand why suddenly appeared protests, and I thought for that reason I had to study History. But, it’s very difficult be teacher in Chile, so, I started to look for more careers. One day, I went out with mi cousin and he told me that look for sociology, because my interests were connected with that career. I started to look for about this career, and I liked a lot. Thus come to study Sociology.

I think a sociologist can contribute to a society with their investigations. Trying to understand the reality and their social processes. It is also important that the sociologist contribute for change. For the last, the sociologist have to have a critical position, and a critical look. He has to be reflective and analitic.

In this moment, my favorite subject is “Historia Social Chilena” with the teacher Gabriel Salazar. I like a lot this subject because I love the Social History, and I think is very important know about the history of one country for understand the current problems.

I think that is all, bye!
