Hi everyone, I’m going to talk about my blogging experience. I like writing in blogs but I’m not very experienced in this topic. I like the way that you can tune up your blog layout but I can’t did it in my blog… but I have always like my classmate’s blogs, they were really nice and cute. I’ve really lost some time with the fishes in the teacher’s blog

Also I like the label system ( I recently discovered it) that you can organize your post in different topics and also by pictures.

Sometimes I get confused with the names of the blogs that I follow because with the blog title you cannot identify the writer (if they were classmates or someone unknown).

The blog really improved my English because I wrote about typical things in my life and I wrote also about important people, so It make my English better. And I like that you can comment the things that other people wrote.

I didn’t like the short time that we had to write in our blogs, sometime I’ve got really inspired and the time killed my inspiration to write about interesting things. And the break time was short and in that time I’ve got really hungry so I couldn’t get earlier so it make me arrive later to the English lab. It was difficult to write when it was free topics because I’ve spend many time thinking on what I was going to write and at the end I didn’t write too much.

And the computers were slow and sometimes the internet connection were down, so we couldn’t work in our blogs. But the online translators helped me winning time when I didn’t know a word

That’s what I think about blogging.

Hi Guys!
Well, I feel really interested about study the artist expressions of our society. In sociology, this isn’t a common subject, because a lot of people thinks that this isn’t relevant to discover the under view social principles. But I think that the theater could by an interesting study object, also I really enjoy it.
Few months ago I went to watch “uñas sucias”. Today I’m going to describe one of the most important thing about it:
Luis Barrales is a Chilean playwright. He raise the subjects about marginals group in society, in particular in this country, with play like “Uñas Sucias”, “Hans Pozo”, Niñas Arañas”, “Rota”, “La Mala Clase”, and others. His works are very important for Chilean theater according to the critics.
Last year, the panel of judges of Santiago a mil, selected “uñas sucias” as the best of the 2009’s selection. This staging was directed by Raul Donoso, member of the “La Popular” theater company.
“Uñas Sucias” is originally setting in a male amateur soccer team, but the company adapted it for a female cast.
The play shows a sub 20 player group, who aspire to be promoted to a professional category, and they fight to figurate in the list, that contains five selected players by the coach.
The tension and excitation atmosphere beginning with the end of the training, when they stay locked in the dressing room and have to stay together more of the time that they wish.
Also the text explore in the female way to practice this sport, the play shows –with a Harshness view- the power relations that are established inside the team through the violent word exercise .
The text was written in 2003, and opened in the national dramaturgy exhibition of this year. It was finalist.
The “La popular” company’s proposal is relative to emphasize about the marginal environment and represent the ferocity of the group’s world visions.

Juno is one of my favorites movies. The story is about a pregnant girl, who decides to give her son in adoption. I think that this movie has good photographs, the mix of images and music is nice in Jason Reitman’s work. The most beautiful photograph is that!
It shows Juno Mac Guff, a teenager from Minesota kissing Paulie Bleeker, her friend and the father of the baby, in a baseball camp. This scene is at the last of the movie, when they decide to be together, and start again. Maybe it would be appear like a really romantic story, but sometimes it turns difficult and so untraditional; the picture shows it: Ellen Page and Michael Cera’s characters are really teenager in some of their acts, but sometimes they are so mature. Their love isn’t understood for another people, like his family or her best friend, but it doesn’t matters to Juno; she demonstrates it in this photo. This picture is taken at 2006 during the movie recording. Even it wasn’t use for advertising the film, I think that is the most representative image of this movie, because it show the fundamental argument: teenagers who doesn’t interesting to live their lives according to de social rules, Juno and Paulie could be reproach for a lot of things: the teenager pregnancy, the abort intention or the adopt option; but they decide (Juno mainly) to follow their convictions.
Also, the colors of this production are lots of my favorites: orange, yellow, green and brown. It is present even in their clothes that show a negligent style in Juno, who doesn’t care about her image and considerer the music like something really important in her life. Finally, I considerer like a nice style… I love her attitude in this photo, whit her finger rased!

One of the best days of my life


Hello everyone.
Today I´m going to talk about the best concert that I’ve gone: the Radiohead’s one, last year on March 27th in the national stadium.
There was my favorite music group with a lot of special effects, but more important with their excellent music. Although I was really busy this day because I had to do a lot of things for my classes, I went with my friends. We arrived to the place at 1 o’clock in the afternoon even though it was a really hot day, because we were very excited with the first visit of Radiohead to Chile. Although that we were there early, there were a lot of people before us, included another friend who arrives to the national stadium at 8 o’clock in the morning.
We waited about 4 hours in the street, drinking a lot of water and eating sandwiches, even talking about some songs that we really like. 15 or 20 minutes past 5 the doors were open, and all the people ran to find the best place to see the show. Although we ran faster that we can, we didn’t arrive to the beginning of the courtL. But we were in a really nice place where we looked the concert.
In this time, Radiohead played one of my favorite songs, House of cards. I was really excited, even I wanted to cry, and get loud. I felt very strange, is a combination of a good feeling and a terrible one. Went the concert ends I didn’t want to go, even though that all the people were walking out.
