My favorite Cartoon: The Simpsons

  Hi everyone! On this day I'm go to speak about The Simpsons, my favorite cartoon ever. I have watch the Simpsons since I was a child, about 8 years old I think, so I remember me watching It on the T.V family. But It wasn't until I was about 11-13 y.o that I turned into a really fan of the show. ¿The reason? Its absurd and irreverent sence of humor in addition of Its particular family and characters captivated my mind.  The show is about a peculiar American yellow family and their daily problems. Among the family characters We can find: The Dad Homer, He is an average father with some alcohol problems (He is addicted to "Duff" Beer) and uncertain intelligency hahaha, Marge, the Mom with her characteristic blue hair, who adds the rational perspective, Lisa the daughter, the smarter of the family and school, Bart, the son and problematic boy and finally Maggie, the baby Who never says any word. Also the other characters of the show are memorable and good too, for examp...

Songs and memories

  Hi , today I'm going to speak about songs that bring me memories about events of my life. The first one is a classic piece, "Canon in D" of Johann Pachelbel ( You probably are thinking "Oh a man of culture", but no hahaha) this song reminds me to my graduation of the primary school and brings me a very nice memories, because the primary school was a very nice part of my life, I was together with my primary class mates from my 1st school year (Kinder) to 8th grade, those are 9 years of my life, so the end of this stage in my life was very emotional and important, and why this song? because It is the song wich was played in the ceremony and not just that, I was part of the team who played the song with flutes, guided by the music teacher, We had the responsability to musicalize the ceremony and that was a nice experience too, because We spent so much time practicing in order to be perfect and also the flute that I used was bought by my Grand Father Gaston (I s...

The American Dream

Hi everyone, today I'm going to speak about a country that I would like to visit.  When I was about 11 years old, I had the idea to visit The   United States , I think in part, because the most of our culture of consume comes from this place: movies, videogames, music, series, cartoons, technology, cloth, etc. We have a big cultural influence from It. A lot of famous persons lived there too: Albert Einstein, Chaplin, Bruce Lee, big designers: Paula Scher, Paul Rand, Saul Bass, Milton Glasser, etc.  In my case I remember watching the super-hero movies like Spiderman with Tobey Maguire, where the story takes place in New York (or almost looks similar) with the peculiar yellow taxis, or the videogames, for example: GTA Vice City (Grand Theft Auto) where the game is inspired by the country. So United State was an example of trends for me, I had the sensation that world happened in that place. All of that caused in Me a big interesting in learn English when I was in 8th degree...

Free Education

 Hi! On this post I want to speak about the subject that We studied at the last class "Free Education".  I personally believe in Education as a important thing to growth and also an important factor for the humanity progress, consequently I consider the education don't should be a privilege, on the contrary should be accessible for everyone, doesn't matter if someone is poor or rich, should exist the opportunity for study. For it reason I think is very important of implement Free Education, so that all people have the right for study what they want. Actually is very sad think what the education is a still a privilege, especially the good one. On the education context I very agree with José Maza, a very intelligent chilean astronomer, who thinks: The most important thing to the national progress is not copper, is the brain of all 17 millions of chileans!, he also says: Maybe the reason why the chilean education is so bad is because it is convenient for t...

My favourite movie

Hi everyone! Today, I'm going to write about John Wick: actually, one of my favourite saga movies. John Wick is a contemporany action movie that arrived to change the action genre for its elegant aesthetic and its perfect coreographies. Personally, the reason why I like this movie is because the coreography moves are based on martial arts techniques, principally Judo and Jiujitsu ( I wrote in a last post that I practice Judo): my favourite martial arts. Then, when I knew that this movie has those martial art techniques, I really wanted to watch the movie (at that moment John Wick 1). And besides,  I think that I love it because it is completely full of action in all of its length, practically there isn't any script more than John Wick killing ninjas hahaha, but the plot starts with the principal character, John Wick, an ex mafia hitman, who quitted all of it for a quiet life with her wife. Unfortunately, she got sick and died. His only memory about her is her dog. Bu...
