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!
