Sedar"s Situation

I think that we have experimented a lot of these kinds of situations in this Country. It"s really frustating to know about a topic in our native Language, but we can not talk about the same topic in English.
When I came here, the second month, I went to a dinner with  people who grew up in countries where their native language is Spanish, but they also have perfect English. In this party I couldnt speak at all. I  felt really  bad about it.
I felt a lot of frustation at the begining, and I was depressed for a couple of days. Then,   I thought I have to speak like them or even better. So I started working it out everyday. Now, I realize that I can keep a conversation with a native english  which is AWESOME for me! I had to work really hard in this, but I got it!!!

What is ironic about the discussion of the traditional or ritualistic activities surruond the lottery? What point do you think Jackson may be trying to make?

The story that surround the lottery is really  ironic because the people in this village see this event " The Lottery" like something really relevant for their Lives. It looks like the best and most important tradition in this village even when much of its ritual had been fogotten.

Jackson wants to show that people  dont open their mind in order to improve their lifestyle. It means  we don"t want to change some traditions which dont have any meaning in Life. We keep stuck in specific activities just because we have been doing them for many years.

We shouldn"t feel afraid of  change in our lives, even if the results are not positives.
Experience is what you  get when you didn"t get what you wanted, and it is going to let us to continue changing until getting what you really want to!

"Samuel Butler Quote"

Belief is a complex issue, but when we see people in droves follow something, we behave like them and of course follow  them because it is the easiest way. We are pretty sure about we want and wish in Life; however, sometimes we get carried away by bad people, and people who keep us away from our goals.

The important thing is to follow our own thought and belief in order to reach our goals.Obviously, we can follow people as long as they are acting in accordance what we want to get in Life.

Glory at Sea!

The movie wanted to show us as far as people can go to get their happiness, even if it means dying. Understanding the end of this movie is the important thing because you can recognize what happend. However, the meaning can change depending on the eye of the beholder.

The aspects which open to interpretation are What happend with The people who were looking for their family? Did they die? Did they get their happiness? What was the role played by the priest in the movie? What was the role of religion in the movie? In what way did the director want to assault the viewer"s emotional senses?

The ending was happy because they found their family and stayed with them. At the end they looked so happy. Even thought they died, they got the happiness in their own way. It was more than enough...

How did issues of obedience and authorithy play themselves out in your group?

The level of obedience and authorithy is going to affect whatever group! Actually, We did a good job, some of us were leaders and the other ones acted with an specif obedience, but making decisions as well. In Life"situacions sometimes we are going to be leaders and sometimes we are going to follow leaders; however,  the important thing is to show your input like everyone in my group did in the presentation.

What was Luke"s Life worth? Did he accomplish something of value?

I think that the Life in those conditions is not Life at all! It is not worth. When People can not choose the kind of Life they want to live and have to follow rules that they dont want to, it is just unhappiness.Some people have to live in a jail for wrong actions or even worse live by themselves with fears. So what is the purpose of Life  if you can not be,and nor choose what you want to? They just followed a routine Life because they had to! His purpose was go out. In fact, he died, but  he got it . He didnt live a Life that he didnt want to for the rest of his life. In other words, he accomplished value in the final because at least he made his last decision in his life! Dying, but he did...

Hechale vampiro!!!!!
No me importa lo que
piensa la gente de mí
que si traigo el pelo
de alguna manera
porque me gusta traerlo asi
que por qué escucho
ese tipo de música??
si es la que me gusta oir
Critican todo lo que ven en mí
inventan chismes que no son ciertos
con quien hablo, con quién salgo,
con quién ando,
que te importa? es mi vida
si yo no le hago daño a nadie
quién eres tú para decirme
cómo vivir, quién eres tú?
Me vale lo que piensen,hablen de mí
es mi vida y yo soy asi,simón!!
me vale lo que piensen,hablen de mí
es mi vida y yo soy asi!
Chorus
porque me vale vale vaale,
me vale todo
me vale vale vaale,
me vale todo
si no me entienden o comprenden
pues ya ni modo!
porque me vale vale vaale
me vale todo
No puedes criticar algo
sin conocerlo primero
sere muy feo por afuera
pero muy bello por adentro
si eres una de esas personas
te tengo una solución
en vez de estar fregando
y molestandome asi
dedicate a encontrar
que esta mal en tí
por que...
Me vale lo que piensen
hablen de mí, es mi vida
y yo soy asi, simón!
me vale lo que piensen,
hablen de mí, es mi vida
y yo soy asi por que...
Chorus-repeat
Mientras los reprimidos
andan aburridos
yo no ando, de jodido
no tengo broncas
porque soy yo mismo
Hablen lo que quieran...
Qué piensa o murmura la gente de mi?
qué piensan los vecinos de mi?
qué piensan los maestros de mi?
qué piensa la autoridad de mí?
qué piensan mis padres de mí?
qué piensan mis suegros de mí?
qué piensa todo el mundo de mí?
sólo tengo que decir:
me vaaaaaaaaleeee
me vaaaaaaaleee
Ponganse al tanto
porque el mundo gira rápido
ponganse al tiro
o se quedarán atrás...

English Lyrics

It does not matter to me what the people of my think
That if I bring the hair somehow,
Because I like to bring it thus
That because I listen to east type of music
If she is the one that I like to hear
They criticize everything what they see in my
They invent gadgets that are not certain
With who I speak, with who I leave, with who I walk
That it matters to you is my life,
If I do not do damage to him to anybody
Who you are your to say to me like living
Who you are your?
It is worth to me what they think or they speak of my
It is my life and I am I grasped - Simón
It is worth what they think to me, speak of my
It is my life and I am I took root - Because
It is worth, it is worth, it is worth, it is worth everything to me to me
It is worth, it is worth, it is worth, it is worth everything to me to me
If they do not understand to me or they include/understand.

Speak what they want
That the people of my think or murmur
That the neighbors of my think
That the teachers of my think
That it thinks the authority of my
That my parents of my think
That my fathers-in-law of my think
That they think everybody of my
Single I must say
It is worth to me -- It is worth to me!!
