Rip Van Winkle and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

I liked the book because it tells you two intriguing stories. The first story, Rip Van Winkle, is ok and it grips you, but I don’t like the second story, the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, very much because I think that the end of the that story is not complete, it finishes so fast and doesn’t tell you the really important things, like what is the Headless Horseman or what happen with Ichabod. For that I don’t recommend this book though Rip Van Winkle is good.

FED UP OF THE HOMOPHOBIA

The June 28th is the Day of the Gay, Lesbic, Bisexual and Transsexual Pride, a day for the sexual liberation. It’s a day of affirmation, of fight, of celebration, of visibility, of collective and public expression. In this day to demonstrate: The hate to the homophobia, the hate to the rejection of the homosexual people, of this society that only considers as normal and good the sexual relations between people of different sex. “We are fed up of that they “tolerate” us, of that they accept us as a unconnected and far-off reality and always preferring that it doesn’t exist. We are fed up of those subtle forms of imagination as: - The generalizes stereotypes of gays and lesbians - The prejudice that question our capacity and rights to be mothers and fathers. - The belief of that the AIDS is an "homosexual’s illness" - etc., etc., etc“ says an association for the eradication of the homophobia. For it the Day of the GLBT Pride demand: That all the people take measurements, in the quotidian and in the social and political ambit, and like this we transform all things necessaries in favour of a free of homophobia society.

England. My Summer Trip

England is the country of the south half of the Great Britain island, that it limits with Scotland and with Gales. The population of England is of 49.138.831 habitants. The United Kingdom’s Govern resides in the English capital, London. The British Real Family lives in the Buckingham Palace, London. And in this country is where I went for holidays, well, a place of the four places where I went for holidays. I was ten days in England with my friend Andrea, in her family’s home. In those ten days I did many typical English things as to have breakfast a typical breakfast, to eat fish and chips, to buy in Claire’s, to eat toffee and Marmite and lots of things more. I had a fantastic time in England and I reported of some differences that there are between the Spanish people and the English people, for example the houses of here have got fences with two metres high for that anybody can see you, but over there the houses have got very sort fences or they haven’t got it, over there the people uses more the respectful words like thanks, please or sorry than here and, besides, over there the people is more trusting than here, for example there are a lot of littlies shops without any people inside, with a money box and you take the object that you want and you put the corresponding money in the box, I think that those things can’t do here but it was a very good experience. I had a wonderful time with Andrea and her family in England.
