Star Wars, The Force Awakens.

Spoiler Alert!

I went to the theatre last monday with a couple of friends in order to watch the new Star Wars movie, the Force Awakens. I've been a star wars fan since I can remember, so I went to the cinema with two different fealings. To begin with I coudn't wait to watch it since the first moment I heard about the new movie. However I also felt fear, as the director wasn't George Lucas, and the productoeas Disney, I was scared about the possibility that my favourite saga was destroyed with a weak argument and only with the idea of making money.

The film was great, some parts were slow but the whole film was a great experince. When I watch the tittle I felt as a children watching the Episide I, A New Hope back in the 60's. Watchin the heros of my chilhood, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, C3P0, R2D2 and Chewbacca back again was awesome. The last scene Han Solo dies when his son, Ben Solo, better known as Kylo Ren killed him with his lightsaber was very sad, as he was my favourite character.

I recommend everyone to watch this new film while I wait for the Episode VIII.

Entrance of the week.

Game of Thrones, TV show or books?

Everybody has watch an adatation of their fovorite book, in my case is the HBO TV show Game of Thrones, based on the George RR Martin books, A Song of Ice and Fire.

I consider the show a great entreteiment, however  when I read the books, I was transported to an amazing world of knights, dragons and politics treasons which I hadn't feel watching the show. There has been five books and five seasons. The first season is quite similar to the first book, however the show have been loosing the idea of an adaptation to be a own quimera result of invented things by the producers. The season five was a Bebelplatz full of wrong decisions that some character won't ever took. The show runners decided to force some characters do some decisions just to gain the hate to the views and killing them finally.

I'm not against change the books plot since I understand there are things that are difficult to recreate on the little screen, but I can't stand changes without meaning to the plot, just to make the show something to be talk.

I recommend everybody to watch the show but if you really want to summerge in Westeros and that amazing world, read the books, is a pleasure.

V. Conclusion.

Introdutction/ Conclusion: Space Debris

Introduction:
Last week a goat farmer in Calasparra, Murcia, found a mysterious black ballhe said it came from the space. Investigators suggest it should be part from a rocket. This is not the first time it happens, similar orbs has been found in Australia and Brazil. The space debris is not radioactive or explosive so experiments will be made to discover new facts about it.

Conclusion:
Sometimes space debris came to Earth and thanks to this amazing fact we could understand the Universe in a better way or even learn new things. Space debris could sound as a big problem, however is a great oportunity for human beings.

Man on the Edge

The sittuation we have is a man on an hotel´s roof that has lost his job and wife and he wants to jump to end with his life. However a cop is trying to convice him to think back and he shoud keep goin with his like.
The policeman gives a phone to the man and he start to talk with his wife. She told him not to jump even their love is dead, the man lisent his wife carfully he say her goodbye and then thought the phone, he appologise to the cop for doing that ant the he realised he is a failer and choose the easy and coward way.

Global Warming

The Global Warming is a huge problem that nowadays has a great deal of negative effects on the Earth. The tempeture of the planet increases a little bit every year, the Poles are melting and it cause the sea level to rise up, then some beaches will floot. All of this is caused by the pollutiom companies and countries produce, makink a whole on the ozone layer

PEER RESPONSE AND SOLUTION

A solution to Global Warming could be investing more money in charities against the pollution, in new technologies which use solar panels as a sourcw of energy, and using renewable fuel instead of petrol, promoting the use of electric cars, etc. To sum up, looking for new sources of energy that
don´t pollute.

Comparative/Contrast Paragraph

There are alot of differents types of music, and punk and classical music could be the opposite side in a line.  Punk rock is a very move type of music, the lyrics are song shoutting, the main instruments are electric guitars and concertsshould be given in local and darks pub at night. The people who attent or give this concerts are young and rebels, whereas classical music is, in its majority instrumental, an armonychal mix touched by violinist, pianist etc. The concerts are in open spaces or national theatres. The type of people who touched or like tis music shouldbe old.

Iconditional basic income

Personally speaking I reckon that the inconditional basic income is a bad idea for an economy system. Obviouslly as everything, it have a positives aspects as well such as the help to the homeless, however an inconditonal basic income for those who already work hard, to work harder for the benefitof those lazy people who don´t need to work because is enough with the basic income. Althouhg if you can work in whatever you want, those publics works like cleaner or workman won´t have enough people and the most important jobs  will be full of unqualyfire employees. We live in a society based on you recived what you give to the society, so an inconditional basic income will destroy that society. Moreover a basic income shouldn´t be choose because it drives the economy to a desaster. Unfortunatelly the economical prosperity of the country is before the personal happyness

Peer Response

Peer Response:
I think you don´t have a coplete topic sentence, I mean one sentence that introduce your paragraph, the things you´re going to talk about. As soon as I start reading I´ve imagine how your friend is, so this is a good point. Maybe you should write about her physical and then talk about her personality. For example: In your first sentence you talk about her hair and her eyes, in the second one you say she is smart and in the fourth you´re talking again about her body. I like that you have appointed the things you most like of her, I supposed these are things that make you feel comfortable and it´s something important when you are trying to describe someone you like. The last thing I have to say after seeing this is that you should put a concluding sentence, something beautiful about her.

Final text
My best friend is a girl of golden hair and freen eyes. She is skinny but not short to be a girl. She is very smart and always know what to do or say. She is quite loyal aand you can trust on her. I donn´t know how but she is always right, She has always understood me and support when I need it, give me advise and help me when I asked for it. I admire her for her strengh and determination, and I cant imagine my life without her.

A place I would like to visit

A place I would like to visit since I was a child is New York. New York is not exactly an untouched region, in fact it´s a city where more than 8 millions of people live. I´ve been always amazed of New York skyline, but also its beautiful icons and breathtaking sceneries.

New York it´s divided in five districts, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island and Brooklyn. There are a lot of places to go sightseeing such us Central Park, a huge open space in the middle of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty , the biggest icon of the city, or Museums like The American Museum of Natural History. New York City is the best place for a keen photographer, there are views like the one on the top of the Empire State Building, Times Square at the sunset or Brooklyn´s bridge that you shouldn´t miss.

New York, specially Wall Street, is the centre of the economical and commercial activities. Another important fact of the city is that here resides the Headquarters of the United Nations . The city also have some of the highest buildings of the world, like the Empire State Building or The Twins Tower, until the September 11 of 2001, when they were knocked down by a terrorist attack. Also a lot of TV series like "Friends" or "How I met Your Mother", and films are set in this city.

New York is one of the most important cities in the world, and even it´s so far away, the flights are not cheap and living there is quite expensive, a find in New York a place you should visit at least once in your life, not only for its popularity but for the grateful experience of the trip as well. 

"El Guernica"

We have to describe the feeling we have when we saw Pablo Piccaso´s picture, "El Guernica"

"El Guernica" describes the horror of the war, whn you see it a feeling of disorder invades you. You almost can hear the people and animals screaming and suffer, the fire and the bombs behind.You feel quite sad because you just can stand there and watch them die.

This week I´m going to talk about my favourite music band, The Beatles:

The Beatles was a popular rock band in the 60´s. The mebers of the band were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. They gained a reputation playing in Liverpool´s pubs such as "TheCavern". Their first single was publicated in 1962 with the name of "Love me do". After some successful  tours in Europe and one in USA (1964), they finally decided stop giving concerts and concentrate their activity to the studio. Then, in 1970, after some discrepancies between Lennon and McCartney caused by Lennon,s girlfriend, Yoko Ono, the group broke up was official.

Years later, in 1980, John Lennon was murdered by a crazy fan at his building´s doors in New York. Even George Harrison was also attacked by a fan, he finally dead because of the cancer in 2001. However, McCartney and Starr still alive and active.

The Beatles is one of the most important band is the music´s history. 50 years later their songs still being listned by fans of all ages. Albums as Abbey Road(1969), St,. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) or Yellow Submarine (1969) has influenced several actual bands, and songs like Hey Jude, Yesterday or Help! persist in the memory of millions of people. The Beatles started as a little band of teenagers making the most of every chance they had and finally becomed the most succesful band of all times, they are the prove of dream can become true, but only with a little help of your fiends.

A version of the poem "Fear by Raymond Carver

"FEAR"

Fear of go to bed and start thinking
Fear being bretayaled by those who I love
Fear of being the traitor
Fear of spiders
Fear of be the last one
Fear of not loving anymore
Fear of forget that moments
Fear of discovered you´re lying
Fear of the past hanging over me as a shadow
Fear of darkness
Fear of dispeared at the sea
Fear of living alone
Fear of linviong with others
Fear of the living
Fear of love you angain
Fear this day will end the way it started
Fear of waking up to find everything is different now
Fear of not loving and fear of stop dreaming
Fear that will stop me
Fear of live
Fear of death
Fear of live
I´ve said that
