Thirteen vs Adrian Mole

The two lives of these adolescents are very different. Adrian Mole is a simple and typical boy of the new time. He do a different things, a normally things for example he writing a secret diary or fall in love. On the other hand the character of thirteen , Tracy and Evie are a typical adolescents angry with the world, they do a bad things for example they smoking and take drugs. The family of two story are very similar because the two teenagers have to overcome the divorce of their parents. In the Adrian's story his mother she find other man in her life and he has to bear it. In thirteen the two families are very unstable: Evie's family isn't exist she only life with her grandmother (a person who does not notice her), Tracy's family is a typical in USA after overcome a divorce; her mother tries to throw for ahead with the family and tries them to educate the better form that she can.

The friends of two main characters are very different because Adrian do a friends in the school, and they do a typical thing with their ages (13- 1/2- years-old) for example their fighting over a girl but the other character Tracy are in a bad situation about of her friends because she began the institute with a friends but she changes their for feeling the best.

Other differences of two stories is the behaviour of adolescents Adrian is a good son and a god person, he help to other person for example he help to old gentleman in his house and he help in to his house. By contrast Tracy doesn't do anything in her house, she only past much time to Evie and do bad thing, she behave as idiot; she only brings of head his mother.

These are the different more notable but in the two stories are thing we can learn because in the argument success more things, but in general the stories are explain the two faces of the teenagers in the world. The bad and the good face. 

VICTORIA'S SECRET FASHION SHOW 2012

The new of WWD published the last 8 November, by Karyn Monget talk about the last Victoria's secret show. Victoria's secret is a brand of girl underwear. It's the most famous brand in the world and her shows are the event more waited. The beginning of this month record this show. In the show come with the angles a different singer for example Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber and other, but the most special Rihanna. She did two actuation, one sing the new song of her album diamonds with a black dress, and the other with wore a see-through pink chemise with a burn-out floral pattern. Since always the angels of Victoria's secret flew on the gangplank.

I chose this new because I love the show of Victoria's secret and I have many desires of seeing that. I thought the show is spectacular and all the people one time in his life has to see the show. 

NEW YORK LIKE THE SET OF HOLLYWOOD DISASTER MOVIE

The new of Evening Standard published the last 30 October, Tom Harper and Daniel Bates explain horrible situation lived in New York when Sandy arrived, a hurricane. The politics stopped their campaign and mayor of the city declare state emergency. When arrived to the city hurricane produced much damages but the most tragedy was the 17 die. The hurricane arrived to other cities but in New York do the most damages. Although  the mayor asked the people had care and that if they had some possibility of going out of the city before was hurricane arrived, did. But some people doesn't take notice. The numbers are very significant: More than 200 patients had to be evacuated from Manhattan hospital, the firefighters save 70 people and the 17 people died.

All this new is very bad because explain the destruction of a city and the people. When I read this new I thought the situation of people and I felt very sad, the situation is very terrible and I never will live this. I thought all people need know the situation and it's important because these success is possible repeated and we should all be prepared.

MOTHER WHO KILLED HER CHILDRE "NEEDED HELP"

The new of Evening Standard published the last 31 October, of Lindsay Watling explain a bad story of one family. The mother killed her two children after suffering a post natal depression, and after she trying kill herself. Her husband discovered his children's bodies, Mason 10-week-old and Lily Skye 14-month-old, when he returned to work. This success past the last may but  now court decided sent the mother to a psychiatric hospital, after her family and friends asked to the judge sent in there. For family this success is terrible and nobody believe Felicia (mother) could do that.

When I read this news  I surprised too much because how someone was going to think that this woman didn't need help, she had just killed his children. I don't know that feels but the family in that's moment need all help because for much time they never forget this. For this I will explain this success to everyone because it's important the people knew the news and help they. From here I order them my support and hope that someday they could forget it.

The King's Speech

The films explain the story of Albert, Known to his family and friends as Bertie, is the second son of King George V, the grandfather of England's current monarch, Queen Elisabeth II. Bertie suffered a terrible illness, stammer. When his father dead, for different reason he is the successor. 

But he had very fear of speaking in public because sometimes the people laughing as he. He and his family fought for overcome the problem. His wife looked for one people help Albert. She found an expert in language, Lionel. Lionel helped Bertie with his strange methods, but he got Albert spoke in public very well, and Berti was a good King for England.

This film explain a really story of the King.

I watch this film in original version, for me this film is very special because explain a story of overcoming. When I watch this film I don't know the film explain a really story, after I asked information about this and I impress too much. For all this thing I believe this films it's very interesting for everyone and I encourage you to see her.

My presentation about street art/ Banksy

Hello my name is Marta Moreno and now I talk about one theme but first I will asking one thing.

We you think when you what this photos? someone knew it's the artist?

The artist of these picture is Banksy, and now I talk about he and his works.

Banksy is a graffiti artist from Bristol, England. One special thing about this artist is his anonymity. Only one journalist do a interview face to face.

Banksy is a graffiti artist with his work he wants to criticize in a satirical way the politics, culture-pop, morality and ethnic groups. For painting his pictures he use a stencils. Stencils are a graffiti makes use of a paper, cardboard, or other media to create an image or text that easily reproducible. In this image you can see the stencil of one most famous work.

Much people compare Banksy to Blek le Rat, other graffiti artist. Even the same one is compared, and say: All I do Blek le Rat did 20 years before. Personally I think two artist are good but for my Banksy is better than Blek.

On the other hand Banksy has painted in different cities from different continents for example: Vienna, San Francisco, Paris, Palestine and more but especially in London.

He began his art career in approximately 1992. He began painting in Bristol his native city. In this photo you can see one of the first works. His works is possible classify in different themes: Monkeys, Cops, Rats, Cows, Art and Street furniture.

All the works except art are in the street, but art are in different museum. He put his works in for example Tate Modern Gallery, in Moma or British museum. The works he put in the museum didn't last long but he has much racket.

Now I explain my favourite picture, I like too much his work but specially that'll explain.

First I explain the girl, the balloon and the heart. This picture symbolize the love much times escape with ours harms.  This love can is with ours parents, with friends or with a couple but always is a bad feel exactly same as balloon escape. It's a disappointment. For me this work is spectacular because the feelings are present all time in the picture.

The second image is a pipe. The work is a caricature about the picture of Magrrite. Now you see the two pictures this is the Banksy opinion about this picture. With this he wants to satirize ridicule to the box. I like two picture but in this case the version of the grafter seems fun.

The thirst picture it's one of the most famous works about Banksy. This picture is the cover of his book, you can see. This picture is very meaningful because she representat a hooded man throwing flowers instead of a cocktail monotof or other worse. With tis image the author will represent the war is a stupid thing and  it's a reticulated about the war. The meaning it's very simple but very clear. No to war.

And the last image, and my favourite above the others, it's this: the girl with the balloons. The picture Banksy painting in the gaza strip. The meaning is very clear respect to the situation. In Palestine the government build a wall for separate a different cities, and the people didn't cross this wall. The meaning of the image is the getaway of the one girl looking for freedom. I think this is the best picture because he claim a injustice and for me that is special.

With all this I am finished me presentation and now anyone have a question say me and I will try you respond. Thanks for listen to me.

For me this has been a very good presentation. And I think it went well. Because I had prepared. Although I think that would have to improve something like not get nervous or better pronunciation. But in general I liked the presentation.

Colours

Probably much people think this theme it's simple but not the colours are a interesting and subject theme, because for everyone the colours represent a different thing. I understand this when I read a good book. In this book the main character classify the feeling with colours. Every colours represent one feeling. For know who feeling represent each colours you do a test. You think in one person very specially for you, after think in the colour represent this person. It's very simple when you think with love sometimes represent the red. But when you think in friends the colours in your mean is blue.

But where are the bad colours? Always the people say the bad colours it's the black but they know the trust, the bad colours in the world is white. Because the white have don't answer only have question and it's very terrible.

If you will know who is different meaning of colours read: Bianca come il latte, rossa come il sangue

Traduces fragment:

From today I will start writing. I must write all these things to be able to remember them. Do not be if I can do it, but this time at least I want to brighten myself. It is possible that it is better that it uses pencil. Not, better boli. Red Boli. Red as the blood. Red as the love, the ink of the whitest pages of the life. I believe that the only things that deserve to be remembered are those who count each other with the blood: the blood does not commit mistakes and no teacher can correct them.

The classic

The classic films. Throughout do were different films, but the classic films are a little number. It's true the classification of the classic do you, but in general the people agree about classics. I looked for one classification and the answer is:

1-      Gone with the Wind

2-      Casablanca

3-      The Godfather

4-      Some like it hot

5-      Cat on Hot Tin Roof

6-      Psychosis

7-      Rear window

8-      The apartment

9-      The great dictator

10-   North by northwest

This least it's from one page, but much people believe the least isn't truth. Because the classic chose you. What things have do a classic?

This question is very abstract because for everyone change. For me the classic are do a good actress/or, a good soundtrack and a good argument. For example the best classic in the all story is Singing in the rain. I believe this is the best classic because the actor was a magnificent. The actor was Gene Kelly a very good actor. A good argument but especially the soundtrack is very beautiful. The best song in the all film is singing in the rain now I post this song, and say you opinion please.

Just singing in the rain

What a glorious feeling

I'm happy again

Gene Kelly

The covers

In this times the covers returned very famous. The covers are version of one film, or song, specially song. I will talk about the covers because I think some covers are good or include fantastic but other, oh my God, are very bad.

The most famous covers in that moment are the covers of Glee. The series it treats on a group of teenagers that they do a choir and cover of songs. In the series appear a very different songs but for me for example I like all because the singers are better than others.

Normally I like all the covers I listen but it's truth much people believe the covers are a bad thing because destroyed the song, because the covers change the tone, the rhythm change all.  The song chose for do the cover it's much important because a different thinks like this but for other the song you chose are very personal and hate the version. These passed me because for me one song is very personal, it's my favourite song and I hate everyone do his cover. This song is I will always love you. Probably the covers are good but for me no, because it's me song and I hate all the cover about this song.

With this I will claim the covers for me are good and are a good opportunity for the singers, but sorry I never watch your cover if you do about me song. Now I post a one of me favourite cover about glee but I of other very good artists.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The death

In the life all people have fear at one thing and the person say It's not trust, it's an insensible person. The time in the world it's few a top person, or the fate dedicate this time. The death it's the thing takes this time, takes life, takes all. For this it's a terrible thing and a bad, a bad thing because the people know the death arrived and you doesn't do anything, only wait.

For this it's important live the life vividly. All the moment it's only, no more repeated. Carpe Diem, it's a good expression for describe my opinion about life. The death give me a very fear, I don't will died I will life forever, but this is not possible only success in the films and ours life isn't films. We are reality.

All that live must die, passing through nature to eternity.

William Shakespeare

Different sagas

Last Friday opened the last film or Twilight saga. This film ended with the illusion of much people in the world, because now where they doing?

Much this people began to watch this saga when they were a teenager but they ended the saga they are an adult, or much old.

Much time this of lengthen its bad because when you ended the saga you not remember the beginner. Although also it’s a good experience grow with a saga. Because you see as the character envelope and also you. Twilight is an example but the most famous and clear example is Harry Potter. In the films of Harry Potter you can see the change, because the characters grow lengthways to the films. I remember when I saw the first film of Harry Potter and I was only 6 or 7 years old, but I finished the saw all the saga when I was 15 years old. In me case the growth is very clear. And this growth success in different movies. In me opinion this is a good thing providing that it does not become heavy because sometimes the long sagas are very bored in the end because you are satiate of waiting.

To be happy, we must be true to nature, and carry our age along with us.

London, finally

Last 7 I come back to London.

I went to London for a week. I went 30 of October from Barcelona. I went with my uncles and my cousins.  The hotel we stay are next to Trafalgar Square. All days al saw the London Eye, the Big Ben, the statue of Nelson and the National gallery.  For me this city are very beautiful, always I will going but my parents never take me.

We visited much things, especially museums. We went to different museum: went to natural museum,  science museum, Albert and Victoria museum, Freud museum-house and British museum.  All like me but specially British museum because in there room are a very strange things but the best thing for me are the different clocks. I love clocks and I saw very special and strange.

Also we went to different part of London. We visited the Brixton, I like the culture and the music specially.  We visited Nothing Hill and we went to Portobello. But the best thing we did in this area it's went to statue of Peter Pan. These was a one of my dreams and I did realist. But the best thing we visited are Candem town I love this part of the city and I will return all the thing you see are magnificent.

This is a little summery about my travel to London. 

I'm leaving because the weather is too good. I hate London when it's not raining.

The true about friendship

In my life I live with false people. And now I go talk about this. In my life pass much people, I meet a different person every year. and change the company. But now I realized much people talk more but not say anything, only bother me. I hate the false people because always they catch you and say good things to you but When you're not these they say bad thing to other person about you. The rest of the people sometimes change the opinion about you. In this moment you know who are your friends, because they always defender you.

In my life I have much friends but in these moment only keep one friend, my best friend. And these is like this because she always trust me still say bad things about me. With all these things I will prove the friendship is a little thing, because much people are very false and say terrible things about you. It's important you know the person you can trust.

Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find.

William shakespeare

Other rebel song...

We have chosen a rebel song.

In the class we listened one rebel song exactly: logical song. And the task for this unit is choose other rebel song and explain his meaning. I've chosen a Firework f Katy Parry. This song is 2008. Katy Perry composted this song for claim the dark situation about the society. In the song explain a different bad situations, for example mention the felling other, ill-treatment, suffering a cancer and other. 

This song is a rebel song because she say the thing that much people never say and more times forget. 

Now I traduce a part of the song:

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin

Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Tu mai t'has sentit com una bosa de plàstic

derivat per el vent, esperant per començar de nou?

Tu mai t'has sentit con un paper prim

o com un castell de naips, a punt de caure?

'Cause baby, you're a firework

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Perquè carinyo, ets un foc artificial

va, enseña-li's el que vals

You don't have to feel like a waste of space

You're original, cannot be replaced

If you only knew what the future holds

after hurricane comes a rainbow

No et sentis com un espai malgastat

Tu ets original, no pot ser remplaçat

tu saps que t'espera en el futur

després d'una tempesta arriba l'arc de sant martí.

Here are different phrases but my favourite part in the song is:

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine

només has d'encendre la llum i deixar que brilli

For me these is song it's very special because I think the affairs explain are very important for the claim in the society. All person need knew the things success in the world and this song explain the reality.
