Writing task

Visit New York
What to visit?
In new york you can visit a lot of places, but for some of them you have to pay, but other are for free
These are some of the places you can visit while your estance in NY
1) Central Park
2) Central Park Zoo
3) Empire State Building
4) Statue of liberty
5) The 5th avenue
6) The Radio City Music Hall
7) The Bronx zoo

Whento travel?
I, in my opinion, recommend going in winter, because in the summer, the mix of heat, crowds and the smog, makes and unpleasant atmosphere for the visitor,
And forthe other side, visint in winter, the views of the city with snow and the park and all of that are awesome, and also you can go ice-skating on the frozen lagoon, the central park si always open and you have all the shops, restaurants and all of that.
Some of my recommendations are the Empire State Building and the Central Park zoo. Both of these can be visited all the year and are 2 of the most unique places in the world, and you are only going to see them in here

week summary

Before this week, i didn't know anything about was modernism about, and what I learned this week its that modernism for example its a movement, a modern thought, something huge, that changed the way of thinking, writing, creating, like the mass production. But I still have to review some things, like the modern painting and literature for example, because I focused more on the architecture.
And now I can make connections between The Catcher in the Rye and the modernism movement, when its was written, and we read on class 2 chapters of the books 
I learned some new words, like ''Persona'', and a lot of different literal concepts too

Holden`s letter

Dear jane

Hey jane , you probably dont remember who i am, Holden Caufield, the boy who lived next door to you a long time ago, you know, we used to play checkers a lot, dont you remember? And then I had to move to an boarding prep. Well it has been a long time...
Well... for the moment im on Pencey prep school, not a big deal, that prep that its always showing ahot-shot guy on a horse jumping a fence, i actually have never seen a horse not even near to the stupid prep. And those shit that they say that at Pencey they do more molding... they dont do any damn more molding at pencey that in any other prep. And I never met any clear mind guy at pencey, maybe 2 or 3, nad they probably didnt get that way because of pencey, noooo the stupid prep its full of phonies... And i say for the moment because I`m getting  expelled, yea expelled, i dont know why but im flunking in all the god dam subjects, exept for english. you know, in history, they asked us to write a composition of egyptians, i only writed like 5 sentences of some stupid stuff that just came to my mind
 i knew that you was dating Stradlater, ya, im really sorry for you, yea i knew it because of him, he asked me to write a writing compisition for him, so he can date you, though, trust me, dont date him, apart of beeing a phonie he is a damn sexy bastard you are like the fifth girl he's dating this month...
 You know, I actually dont fit with whis kind of people, I shoulda been watching the game with my class that writing this to you, well fuck it I dont care about it, I need a sort of vacation, my room mate is Stradlater, cool, i hate him very much, and next door, lives Ackley, the most stupid, phonie guy i ever met.....................................................

The catcher in the rye

Chapter I
How does the narrator feel?
P.-He feels like he dont fit with the school, he feels different, confused, he feels that his school is not for him, he is different from other people
E.- ''They dont do any damn more molding at pensey than they do at any other school. And i didnt know anybody there was splendid and clear-thinking and all. Maybe two guys. if that many. And they probably came to pencey that way''
E.- I think he feels taht way because the way he talks, how he treats his school, which supposed to be an excellence school and in fact none of this seems to matter to him

Chapter 2
What does the conversation between Holden and Mr. Spencer Symbolize?
P.- the conversation between them two somewhat symbolizes the conversation between father and son.
E.-''Spencer- Life is a game boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules
Yes sir. I know it is. I know it'' 
E.-I think their conversation symbolizes that because of the way their are talking and what they are talking about. a conversation that its between a father and his son basically.

Historia de un cartel

How does the video portray the image of power?
th video portrays the image of power because the solution comes throught a guy in high social status, and the words used in the second sign were more powerful than in the first one. (Power of words)

What are the main differences between the text in the first sign. and in the second one?
that in the first one, the use of the words was very basic and common, but in the second one, the suit guy, changed them to persuasive and strong words, that have a bigger impact on people.

What was the people`s reaction to the first sign like?
many just went through the side of it without even looking, just a few helped. He was only another guy asking for money in the street

What was the people`s reaction to the second sign like?
the new words didn´t changed the message of the sign, they changed the way of communicating it. Somehow it changed the way you see the blind guy, makes you think about it

Does the video effectively reflects the power of words?
I think that the video really reflects the power of words, yes

2.- dicussion questions

1.- the effect is that the people that was used to watch movies ( film industries ), now having the easy access to pages like cuevana.tv or youtube. com, most of that people could prefer watching videos or online movies by free an their houses that going to the cinema or buying  a movie.


2.- That now instead of downloading an original song, paying for it, oyu can now listen it on the radio or in a music video on the TV.
But as well, the radio and TV can be used to promote a movie or a new disc that is coming out soon. they can make publicity, commercials, etc.


3.- Because in the past, there was only one way to watch a film, it was a lot more exclusive that now, the same thing happens with the sound recording ( music ), you needed to have a recordplayer and the disc. Now you just search for it on the internet and download it. you can found almost all in the internet, and with an easy access

4.- The actors, the quality of the video, the lights, illumination , the sound of the voices and the music, the script, etc.
but this 2 kinds of ''movies'' have the same goal, entertainment...

Underwater Rugby

The sport involves threading a ball in the opposing team's goal. Apparently not very complicated, right? and the object of the game is very similar to any other team sport, like football, basketball or water polo. However, what makes this sport unique is not the goal, but the manner and conditions as the game develops.


There are two teams of eleven players each, six in the water and five on the bench. Players have, apart from her swimsuit and cap of identification, such as those used for water polo, a basic scuba gear: fins (flippers), mask (visor) and snorkel (snorkeling) and purpose of the game is to move the ball into the opponent's goal. So far we see nothing peculiar, but mentioned that the goals are at the bottom of a pool for diving or jumping pit at a depth of 3, 5 and 5 meters, and we noticed that the game is not as simple as that.

Anectdote

2 years ago we went with my family to Brazil, Buzios. One of the first things we did was go to a beach called Playa Tortuga who apparently was very famous.
To get there were about 30 minutes or 45 minutes walking through a forest next to a road. we arrived with not much to say, but a half hour later, a lot of clouds came from nowhere. We thought that that was normal ( we where on winter) and we stayed, but an hour later the rain started. Actually it wasnt as bad as one could think, because the rain in countries like brazil is not as cold as in other countries. 
well, we couldnt stay in the beach during a storm, so we decided to return to the hotel, but 30 minutes walking in the forest in the mud... Finally we arrived to Buzios, but the hotel was at the other side of the city. We had to call for a taxi, but no one of them wanted us wet inside.and finally We took a taxi to the hotel but an hour or 2 later.

Quizás quisiste decir: hace 2 años fuimos con mi familia a brasil,
