I've read from here, there and from everywhere....

 Last week we read    three stories from many countries and   different ages, "a handfull of dates"  by   Salih;  "Unhappiness" by  Franz Kafka; and  "the seventh man"  by Murkami. They are very good, and they  have  different  themes and topics , that at some point they can be compared, buy the main problem in  those,  is that  even thought that you read them, you  needed to think about   the story,  of what  it really  wants to tell us.

The story   by Salih  is my #3  because    it was a coool story buy it didnt catch me  up    since the begginig, and this was   kind of boring,  also the charater tell you his story, and  it really was his story,  where  he  explains the why of his reasons,  but yoy  cannot   connect this story  to our life, so it  became part of  another stories, not with something to remember. 

The story by  Murakami is  my  #2  in this list, because,  I thought that  it was too long  to be part of a short story,  also the  story was kind of confusing for  me  and   at some point the story didn't hooked  me up  until  the tsunami came, and the theme was one of my favourites because it taught  abour solidarity, and  the  moral from it, can be part in anything of your like, because as the character explains ,  you  become  him.

Last but  not least, Kafka's story  is  my #1 because this kind of stories, make you thing a lot, what  happed,   was my first thought just after I read the  story , then it became   something that  everybody  gave their own story and development, in my case it was a love story where   the man,  cnnnot be with her, because of the situation, but he was     completelly in love with her, and  he cannot say anithing, even thought that his  actions say the  oppposite.

Finally I'd like to say that  these  stories even thought that c they are so different, the  moral that they give us  can be  very similar,  of  it can relate   to eachother, so that we  get a full  message from all of them.Kafka's story, was my favourite because what is not said, can be changed  from one to another, and  you can hear , if you talk to your partners the different ideas and points  of view  from everybody.

Am I a hero?

If we follow Campbell's way of  analizing a  texts, it becomes easier to  do it, but if we had  to analyse it with my life,  I would die, because there are many experiences and characters, that might  appeared  just once, but they   have an important role in my life; in this case,  the Hero's Journey would  be like this:

Hero: Ana Paula Mejia
I'm the hero, not  just because it is my story, but  the sotry and the one who decides to do anything is me, and the people  that I'll  talk about, take a big part  in my story,  but  they do not   make it flow and decide what will happen next, except from me.

Mentor:  My family, Teacher carlos
My  family and Techar Carlos  are my menthors  because they taught me many things, and they  brought me to the adventure  of my life.

Threshold Guardian:  my teachers and me
My Teacher  along my  story are my teachers and  me because  they used to keep knowledge   to themselves, and I  had to  took for It with my grades and perceverance; nowadays they also do it, but  knowledge and what to think about is  an important part    that will   open the doors of my future.

Herald: my mom,  and  teacher carlos
My mom and Teacher Carlos are my heralds  because  they  told me important things in my life,  knowldge,  experiences, and  important moments that make me who I am.

Shapechifter: some of my friends
Some of my friend could be considered Shapechifters because they  helped me in many of the moments in my life, they guide me, they could have had a big influence in my life  and on the decisions that I could  have  taken  though this

shadow: some of my "friends"
Some of what I used to consider "friends"  are my shadows, because they  used to tell me that we were  great friends and everything, but the trith was other, and they  taught me  many things, that I am proud to know nowadays.

Trickter: him
He is my Trickser,  I do not write a name, because I've  been in love  with 2 or 3 guys that  might  loved me back,  but that is not the point, but they move my world  all the way around, so the  life that I commonly have is completely different,and this  make a bigger difference in the decisions that I could have done while I was in love.

We are broken

Las week we had to write a short story based in a song, well in classical music, and most of us wrote very good stories, I can't deny it, but we wrote things that we might never say, because it is strange that teens like us  feel depressed, up to a level that we think  about suicide or death, on the other hand we seem like the tipical teenagers that think about love and the story that you might and want to live, but it is still a dream, in which we can't say anything or do anything to live it, because we might think that it is impossible, and that we are useless.

 In first place, my story was  good,  and I really felt that I was in the story, but I felt  wrong and bad while I was writing it, because  as I was writing it, I  felt shivers down my spine, my tears falling down, stress, and many other feelings that  the reader can feel. At the same time I felt that my story was already told in many other ways, because it was press inks, but I felt good writing it, it changed my point if view in myself and what do I really want for my future.

 Secondly,  the way in which my group act with the story ended up with very good ones, but as I said, these are wrong, talk about depressive thing, bad guys, etc that really need to change, because  many of these are truth, and as it is said, the stories that you create, belong to your subconscious and there, the stories and your biggest dreams  change a lot.

 In conclusion, the things that we wrote are very good, but they show a face that people doesn't see in us, because those are kind of our dreams, and deepest secrets that we  notice or express in the worst moments, but we should smile  in the others.

Faust, Mephistopheles & Margaret.

As far as I've read,  the story  has  developed  in three charaters, Faust, the main one, Mephistopheles,   the devil, and Margaret, who is a girl that Faust  falls in love with, and these characters are the most important because the whole story develops among them. If we had to describe them  in 3 words  the answer will be:

-Faust is the arrogant, never satisfied and pedofile,  because  he   is somebody that   knows a lot and   even thought that  he wants  more and more, he is never satisfied,  and at some point, he compares himself   to God, and in his trip to know   everything, he looks forward to know  what is passion  no matter what and Mephistopheles   helps him to   make this dream come true,  and  he fells in love with a girl around 13 years old.

-Mephistopheles is   the  fake, intelligent and  bad  guy from the story,  because  he is the Devil, and  he leads the whole story with his  pranks and  intelligence, so that each character  does what he wants,  even thought that Faust, in this case,  tried to fool him, but nobody fools the Devil, and he starts a  plan where Faust is the main piece, so that he wins a bet.

-Margaret is  a polite, unware and sweet girl  that takes care of her whole house, who is responsible and  that always goes to church, she gets scared of anything  and she might  be afraid  to get in love, but  she found Faust, that  treats her like a princess, and   they  start an affair,   so that at the end  she kills  her son and she  ends in jail.

If I had to  compare myself to  one of the chacracters it would not  be just one, but the combination on two, Mephistopheles and Margaret,  because she is a sweet and polite girl that would  do anything for   the  one  she  loves and  I really would do that,  but on the other hand, I would not  let anydoby to  treat me  bad, so I need to  ve   kind of fake and intelligent  so that anybody fools  on me.

Faust, something to think about

As I said,  I've been reading Faust, which is a clasic nobel from the XVIII century, I've dicovered many things, at first  who is Faust, what I think he is doing here and what will happen at the end of the  book,  but also  as I've been reading,  I noticed many things that  are  important,  even thought that are   little things, and  these little things will lead us  to a  theme, treated though all the   book.

The  motif, in my opinion, is the  bible, the  scenes and symbols that are in it are a basic part of the book because this story is  located during the Renaissance, where the society used to  be  very catholic even thought that  there was science, thy didn't care enough for it. In this case, in the story, Faust is reading the bible,  where he is trying to  get  knowledge, because during Renaissance, it was used to get information just if you were part of the Catholism, and part of the church, mainly, and  he is  an important character from  his  village, because he knows many things, and  by    having knowledge about the bible and what it was said inside, adn how to expalin, yo were considered a genious. This is also  noticed on the scene where he finally  meets Mephistopheles, because as he was  being a good Samaritan, he picks up a  dog and gets him home,   so that at the end, while he was reading  the bible, and trying to undestand  the first part  the dog changed   his form and transform  into Mephistopheles.

The motif will lead me to my  theme, which, in my opinion is  the  way Goethe tried to  explain   life, and the consequences of  the greed  based on the Bible,  in this case, he tried to  show Faust as  someone that knows a lot, ut even thought that, he tries  to get knowledge, explained in  the  treat that he made with the  Devil (Mephistopheles) that  will be his guide into the  things that he doesn't know, passions ans the ways he will see  life, that will have a tragic ending. I think that the theme  in this case, is interesting because, Goethe  tries to teach  us another way to see the Bible, also   in which kind of  stories is the Bible based in  for us to  nderstand, or  to get another idea, because, at the same time,  this story has a  "greek"  side,  because it has parts where the Mithology is comepletlly involved.

To sum it up, in my opinion, this book is mainly based  in the Bible,  because in the  years that  the book was beeing written,   religion   was changed, and  they accepted many things, and  in this case , as it is located in Germany, the religion was important for the unification of the country   based in the principle of nationalism, where people look forward   the same ideas  for them  fo get together as one country, and Goethe is looking  for a way to teach  people about what does the bible says.

school, school and school...

This partial  is no the same as the last one, because we had to change  the book that we were reading, and  who in this planet would like to change from Naruto to  something else? Yes I know, anyone, but we had to. The truth is that at one point I'm not dissapointed, because  we chose anothe book that personally I've read before and I liked, Faust.

This story is part from the Romanticism, lived at the end of the XVII century,  where   they look forward   a way to express  that  was   the opposite of  the Racionalism and   Enlihtment. This  book is  a drama that  is divided into two parts,  the first   is mainly about Faust, who is a common human  that  makes a deal with the Devil, where he says that he will give his soul to the devil,  if  he  lets him to live all the human passions, that will end in a tragic  way; this  is the  part that we will read during this partial,  and  sometimes  that we will represent (the teacher told us to do so), where we will  recognize the words that  were used, and the  format that this book follows.

Weeks later we will analize this book  in  a  new format named "Formalism" where the  reader looks forward  the  time  where the book was tritten, the  topics that is about, and the writer's past, so, that at the end,  we get all these toghether  in an essay where we  choose a topic and we develop it, with this context, and  in this case,  it will help us  not just to pass the subject, but to   really understand this  book,  because it is kind of confusing in some points for example, we could analyse  the  first scenes  and  notice some important thoughts and ideas,  which will lead us to the climax of the story.

As far as I've read about Faust,  I get in love with it, because one of my passions is theater, and  as I read it, I can look at myself representing this play,and from all of a sudden I amd around my room reading it outloud, and  acting like I was all of the chharacters; On the other hand  what I do not like about this reading is that some of the words are not  used in English  and that  this make the reading kind of difficult. Also what I've like about the reading is the way the writter  explains  who is Methesthotheles, my favourite character, because  it seems to be  a real human,  even thought that is the devil,  and all his sides makes him  an  important character, that will lead us thought this  story, and   that will  make  that Faust  becomes  someone he likes.

In conclusion, this partial we will read Faust that is about this guy and  a deal with the Devil, we will analize it following a new criteria, that makes it easier to read it  and  in my case I'lll look forward the  actions that Methesthotheles will do suring the whole book.

Do I know how to write?

I don't know, I feel kind of strange writting 'bout what I do, what I think and  what I'm supposed to do at school, but the truth is that  it also  makes me fell  very good, even thought  that I'm not good at this,   and I think that  I've improveed.

I've been doing this since Elementary school, because at my school they used to  prepare me for the Cambridge Exams, which was divided into: listening, reading and  writing. In the writing part they used to  made us write about an image, or a story; but as I grew up,  this  changed until I had to write an essay of a book or movie,  tell a story with certaing elements, etc, but all  these  mantained me in a box, because I've never had the portunity to write about something I like.

Last semester, as I  was in the IB programme  and in level A3 in English I learned "how to write  good  writings" based on a process that  teacher Paula Kastaniss  discovered and wrote 'bout; but the truth is that I never folloed it, it was BORING and  USELES, because it al started with a brainstorm,   and then a  draft, and to check the draft , then you repeated this  process until you were happy and  you wrote your final  story, esay, etc; and I think that  doing this  as  specific as this is useless, because, as you write,  you   notice what you want to write 'bout next, which  ones will be your concltions and finally  if it is coherent mainly, (I do not think that you will write  aything  without reading it again, even thought that if it is just for checking spelling).On the other hand, I think that this is important, but teacher need  to let you to follow your own way,  because when I'm supposed to write something in a certain way,   I get blocked  and  what do I write are just  silly things, also I never get to a point  that will make a difference  in a writting.

Finally I would like to ask you (and me ) ; Do I write  well? Am I doing this right? is  someone out there reading me and will understand  what I write 'bout? , and also I  need  to add  into my writings "what will this  entree change from  what did I knew?"

Thanks for a marvelous   partial.
Love 
Poison Rain

what!? a parcial!?

Last week I ended my first parcial at IB programme, and  I feel strange, it seems that last week I wrote you about  my  English class and what would I write in here,and   now  I'm in exams. I know its strange and it feels like iI've been writting to anybody, but at the same time  I feel that I've got  somebody  thinking about what I've wrote.

As I said in my first entree,  this is  for my English class, which is one  of   my top five  of random   things ( and I know a bout those things, I'm a random girl ) because  I thought  that my teacher  would told us in the fisrt class  (in a british accent) " well, hello guys,  this is English A, and on this semestrer we will read the most  boring books that I've found and you will have to write  15 sheets  for your exam where you'll explain    this topic explained thought all the book", but it is the completelly opposite, we are reading Naruto,  writting what whe want (obiously following a  rubric that the teacher gave us ) and  finally   learning about a culture that I 'm kind of  keen on .

This partial in general I learnt  to accept that anything can be literature,  but we must find the purpose of the author  in the  text, also  what  is his background, so that we understand  why he wrote that, because the  context of what he wrote is mainly  the whole story, and also  it is important to know in which other  stories he or she based to wrote this final  text.  In other words,  everything that  is around the author is important to him or her because he or she gets ideas from  everything, and they  combined with  an original story  become  literature.

To sum it up, this  partial  I've done things that I've never thought I would do, and I really do not  regret to take this class  with Wilhem, even thought that at  first sight I thought that he was  bad , sorry teacher! love ya!

 That's it for today and wish me well in my exams .D

Themes evereywhere!

As a far as you know I've been reading Naruto  at school, and its very  strange  and difficult for me to  read this, why? because I love manga and  is strange to read something you really like at school  and for an assigment you didn't knew  what's about, and also it s very difficlt for me beause  I have had  lots of homework these  weeks  and   to do something you know you'll do someday because you like, I  leave it at the end and sometimes I forget to read  this (upps!). Getting back to  Naruto and manga and stuff,  there are  many themes  that are important and that  in  almost every manga are treated like honor and  rivarly, and also  demons, but why are they always treated?

The history of Japan,  their beliefs and manners create a  way of writting, as I said in my last post, writters take all these ideas and   they put them in a story like this one,  for us to  read something that might be good, or bad, or even stupid, but that at the end, it teaches us something, and that's the case of Naruto, and  the main topic of this entree. The main  things that I've learned   from Naruto are:

• Friendship:  They show us  that even thought that we are in a important  place or exam, all by ourselves  there are people behind us, that will help us with anything  and that is very important, because  they really show us that  we meet  people  because of a reason, it might be a red  ribbon that get us toghether or just simply destiny, even thought that destiny  does not exist, just the  inevitable(宛先は唯一不可避、存在しません), and that reason, those people we've met  might be soething important for us at the end, it could be good times or just bad memories, and if we continue to think like this,  the memories at the end make us who we are and  what we've become.
• Teamwork:  just as friendship, teamwwork is important because we are not alone, we can, and must be with somebody that  help us with anything,  it could be their business or not  but the support we get with  him or her   makes a change in our  way of beeing and the way we  show people who we are.
• to protect who we love:  everybody has ever loved a classmate  and by doing this, we  create  the feeling that we need  and we have to protect  him or her no matter what, no matter where, that  why, maybe we keep the comunication   at 100%,  and we observe what does he or she do  and where we can help, so that at the end, the answer taht he or she  gives us  makes a difference.
• hard work:  this can be  explain in a small phrase if you work hard, you get better results, as simple as that.
• To smile no matter what: this, I think that this is the most important  thing in Naruto, because   we have had those times where  somebody or something makes us something bad and we are 'bout to cry or to do anything that gets into your mind, but if you simply  breathe,  contain yourself and just smile, can change the whole idea,  your day and as simple as that, you can change  the way you live and  vhange your perspective, and  the perspective of the one that made you  mad

To sum it up, the  themes in naruto might change form one to another, we are different people and we think different, so what I  explain here is just what i've learned and  thought about naruto, and it can be right  or wrong, but its ok for me because  that's what I've learned in a  good way, that is  in almost any anime and  that has an application in our lifes, so  have friends, work hard, protect the ones you love and do not forget to smile :D

writters...

 We've read  many stories from different cultures, and places,  we can imagine that moment, that place  and those characters without effort , but how does the writter can imagine those while writting, is  he or she someone who has a time travel machine, or maybe is a genious  and has a lots of imagination for writting something like this. The truth is  that maybe these things are right , but   one  of the most  important influences  to a writer is, in my opinion,   his or her country, and it's what i'll    talk about in this entree.
First of all I'd like to tell you who is the writter,  is no the  person who  writes  many words that make sence,  but is the  creator of a story, of someone  that can change our lifes not just because is a beautiful story, but because  it really makes us  to travel to somewhere we might know, we can know but at a time  we can't live nowadays, and this is what makes the differene. 
There are many types of writers, and this  is what makes the story to change,  because  the story might  be inluenced   by what the  writter is living   and that includes  the way of living( is how he lived, lives and might live  his or her life), the  global  influence( this means that  what we learn in history class  is  important for a writer),  the religion (this goes hand to hand with the history, but mainly this is important because the  backround it gives to the autor is  something that changes  form person to person) and the  geographic point ( this is important becuse with this  he or she can   explain and find a new way to show us this magicla places).On the other hand the writer that  writes  about things that happend  in the past  of in somewhere else, is one of the most magical and  amazing writers that could ever exist because   they can  make you travell to somewhere they  even didn't knew and   really make you believe  all those ideas, and finally thewritter that writes about the future is important but everything is created by their imagination.

To sum it up,  the  context  that the witer is living or writing about is  important because   this makes us to travel, to know things that we don't know , to show us  how   someone is , or was and how is this   influenced nowadays,  a story can make you travel and make you change your mind, is not just that momen when you are writting, but the moment you start to think what if? what  could?  is this right? wrong? amazing? and  the moment you know the  book made a change in your way of thinking and you change .

Different languages, one world.

Who has ever  read or watched at something that is not in your language, and you barely understand it, or  you  needed to have "google translation" opened? yeah, that's what I guessed, almost all of you  suffer from this  problem,  because how can somebody learn  over six thousand languages? and also I suffer from this  too, and I can't  cheat on you ,  sometimes I  can even have "google translation" open  to  look for words in languages that I don't know, and even in the ones I know and supposed to dominate at a hundred percent, but from all of a sudden i forget about them.

Why I am talking about it? because, as I said in my last entre, I've been reading "Naruto" but as I don't know japanesse (for  now), I need to read it in  a language I know, in this case it's English, and also, as I'm reading it for school,  I can now understand many things because at class we talk about it, but if I read it on my own, it would be the same any word  that came from japanesse  and stayed like this in English,  even though these were the a main point in the reading  to understand a topic, a  sentence or even a whole story. When uou transalte something you change the  language to one  that you understand,  and  you can change the whole idea. why? Because  in every language  there  are  words,   phrases, coloquialism,  that are used in a way  and when you translate them  you get another similar idea but not what the writter really wrote about.

Also when you translate you enjoy the story in your language, but  you don't enjoy the way your favorite character  really is, for example  if in Spanish you say "no manches"  and someone translatesit into English, the closest meaning would be "omg", and  you might think, they are the same what's te problem? But the meaning and uses changes  between the different people that  uses them, the meaning in the sentence, etc . To sum it up  translation change: meaning, sentences, background of the  character,  an the whole story, that at the end, this little thing  would make the whole difference.

As a conclusion, I translations are good  at some points, because they are helpful to make understandable anything, but we must not stay with this idea, and we should have the bug of curiosity that lead us to search for the background of the writter, and the history, customs, phrases and most common words  of  the country we are reading about,  to have a main idea of what and who is him or her. And as a final phrase "have you ever read something, and days later  read about the  background of the writter and/or story  and have a whole new idea of what you've just read?" 

yeah, that's from school...

Last week I  had the most amazing homework that I've ever had, I had to read "Naruto", that famous manga and anime  that is about  a  teen ninja  named Naruto Uzumaki that  is learning how to be a ninja with his friends and he  starts a major  adventure with an unexpected ending.
 Before  everything I must  explain you   that a ninja, for me,  is a    person (can be man or woman) who wears a black costume hiding almost everything, except  their eyes. They  belong to a hidden group that  teaches all their knowledge from greneration to generation , mainly how to  fight , most commonly  they fight with shurikens, katanas, tetsubishis and kunais, also  what is important for them;  as they are from Japan,  their way to see life is based on values and honor and also in this maga they teach  something that is called Jutsu, that is a tecnique that they use to  fight; it depends on the movements that they do.
The main character (Naruto), as far as I've read,  is  as simple as a teen who is in love with one of his partners, he loves ramen ( ramen is the  instant soup in Japan), and he loves to make jokes. His  major dream is  to become a  ninja with the hokage  level and  that the ninja village where he lives aknowledge his existence; but on the other hand, he  doesn't know that he was a monster  who almost destroyed the village where he is living  and  I  understand, that he reincarnated  in this  character; is important to take into account  that he  is the only blond  guy in the  village, that  means  a big  thing if we analize it, because   they are making a diference in the main character, not only for us to  recognize him, but also  for us to know (indirectly) that he is different, and that  difference will make  a big change during the  whole story.
Also there are other characters that are very important are:
-Sakura: the only girl in the group who is  the crush of Naruto, and that  girl is as a simple teen who  thinks mainly about is love; also  she wants to look like someone very mature, but, as I said, is a teen and she loves pranks and those silly things.
-Sasuke:  is a ten who is the most mature and serious in the group, his only ambition is the resurection of his clan and to kill somebody.
-Hatake: who is the professor  of the last  ninja level.
 This manga even though is "old"  is a cool and good one because  it teaches  many things that a soap opera doesn't, mainly how is  a new culture,  in this case Japan, that is  a place where the honor is one of the most important things  in their country  just because( yes I know the biggest explanation ever, but this idea comes from the past and I   truthly don't know why they started  with this idea),  the values, that are very important in any country, but  japanesee people sees them  in a most serious way, because they have  the sence of respect  in a higher level, not as me, as a mexican, respect    is lost at some point in life  because we have "trust"  between each other and  many other reasons that each of us  creates.  Another thing that they teaches us  and is one of the most important is  the  way  they see life  and how indirectly they teaches it, because  in this type of books,  even though they are for kids, they include "taboo topics "(obiously this term is for us),  they see as  is just anything ,  fights, love  and couples, and last  but not least they  teaches us  a neew language,  not all of it but some words that at some point could be  useful for us, for example  baka (馬鹿), ramen(ラーメン), love (愛), etc.
Finally I want to tell you what I want to  happen in this story. I want to have a ramen storm, imagine all that ramen falling from the sky, it would be amazing! Ok let's get serious now, what I really want is a love story between Naruto and Sakura, but if she doesn't  want it Naruto can find somebody else an that she gets jelous  and ends in the friendzone, also I want that Naruto and Sasuke end as friends, because as far as I read they are rivals, but not as best friends, because it would be nice that they continue fighting  just to maintain that honor. I want that their dreams come true , but what I want the most is that their story becomes one that I'd like to repeat, or live  where the most extrange things happen, the funniest, the most dangerous, everything that everybody wants from an adventure,  and that can lead me to become somebody that takes that into account that at some point in my own ninja story there is danger, love, peace, funny moments, strange actions, somebody that I must know, somethings i must do, etc  to become somebody important  for me and  most important from all  to make all my dreams and goals  come true, and I think that this manga will teach me that and the story is not what I thought or dream about, will have some of my expectations, it doesn't matter with who and why they ended up like this.

さよなら

ドクブツ あめ

Me, as you.

Hello everybody, I'm poison rain and I'm a student  at somewhere in this planet;  and yes, this blog is my homeworks,   but  at the same time  it's something that I love to do, write what I think about things that  I like;  I'm just like you, a simple teenager that loves many things; and  do not know what I really want to do, maybe just sleep, or even  read a book on a rainy day;  both things are  in my top ten of things I love, and if you ask me wether eachone of those I'd choose if I had to do one in my life forever, would be  reading,  because  it is a simple way to imagine  what  somebody tells me, but  with my little touch, and also, I do it almost everywhere.
Reading as an activity  can be fun and  lots of people  do  it, because there is where you get  ideas, knowledge,  chances, and many things, because when you read   you can even  travel around the  world in 80 days, or    you can hear the heart of that old man you used to take care that made you mad. But there is a problem  in reading; the school,  sometimes it can be as boring  as knowing the family tree of   Buendia  family, stressful  as don't knowing what will happen  at the end,(is he staying with her) as and as simply as  a  dictionary definition, school readings  are something that can make you fell asleep, because we all know we, as students, sometimes   we have better  things to  read about rather than  "how is a cell conformed  by  in a  dog  in comparison to   the same cell but in a cat"; yes I know  just reading the title made you  sleepy, and you just look for the  summary of it in wikipedia, and you know what  you are doing wrong, because even thoght that is the most  boring topic, at the end ( and specially if you are like me  that  don't know waht to do in the future) it might be  pleasant; and also thank your teacher to make you think and compare  topics for "further information" and to make your world   the bigger they can. On the other  hand, school  limits you  and gets you in a box where they tell you what to think of any topic,  you know that kind of teacher that says when  you didn't anwer what he wanted --"your answer is right, but this is not what I said in class so  you fail"-- and he walks away with a smile, it's ok at that moment, because  if you take  that textbook  that is  been used as a paperweight you open not just a book, but your mind and  you can choose what you want to think, because  you know (obviously comparing the book, and other references and  adding them to  what you think).
To sum it up,   reading can be as exciting as beeing in a rollercoaster, if you do it as a hobbie, and yes I know that some texts can be tedious, but it is for your own good, because  in a worldwide as ours we must accept many ideas, religions, etc. that you maybe can think "why do  they think like that?", "why they dress like that?",   but you stay in what people says you, not what you really think that  is YOUR  final opinion; this will be  my main idea here  to make you to think about  anything, and you can say it outloud to someone or just a simple reflection that you get  from anything, even this blog. I'll do my best  for you and I accept  anything that you tell me.

Keep  reading!
