comics

The comics were born in the United States of America like consequence of the rivalry between two big newspapers in the end of the 19th century. In this time of commercial competency was added a weekly section in colour, where the drawers of the newspaper published their works where they showed infantile and collectives vignettes of the proletariat. The first comic character that was made was a bald, with big ears and a yellow nightdress, the Yellow Kid, he expressed by means of written texts on his t-shirts. Continuing with this revalidates between newspapers they created new comic plots like The American Humorist, Kid strips, Little Tiger, Happy Hooligan, Alphonse and Gaston or Her name was Maud! Like this, the caricaturist antisocial-hero topics revolutionised in different comics of different styles like fantasy, tenderness, etc. but always with a satiric point. I think that to read comics is a wonderful hobby because it’s a very interesting and funny literature and of course that you have to read different kinds and styles of books, but I think that like there are a lot of different comics, if you look for you will get the comic that fit with you and you will enjoy the time that you will spend reading it.Some years ago I read many books of Asterix and Obelix (I think that I have all the collection) and now I love to read Mafalda and I would like to read some manga comic, but I never encourage to do it.

gothenburg

The last month my sister, my mom and I traveled to Madrid, and we stayed in my uncle and aunt’s home one day, for to the next day take a plane to go to Sweden. We went to Sweden because my brother is there since four months and we miss him a lot. We were in Gothenburg for eight days and we slept in the student’s room of my brother.

We enjoyed so much because we meet the my brother’s friends, we went to visit the islands, we ate much delicious food, we visited the botanic park, the river, the lakes, the parks, the street market and a very beautiful city of small streets and wonderful sceneries, with a very friendly guide. We had a big fun and we meet a new country and a new culture. But the best was to see again my brother, though he doesn’t miss us so much like we to him.

I impressed that there the people don’t use the cars almost, they go waking to everywhere, using the tram or the bikes. And I think we must do that. Next month my brother come back to Valencia for to stay in Christmas, but I would like to go to Sweden again because it was a fantastic experience for me.

hispanidad

The 12 of October is commemorated the date when Cristobal Colon arrived to America, for to remember the discovery of this “new” continent and to praise to Colon. In principle, was proposed to celebrate the “Colon’s Day”, but was celebrated the “Festivity of the Race”, for to pay tribute to the Hispanic race. The priest Vizcarra proposed in Buenos Aires to change the “Festivity of the Race” for the “Day of the Hispanidad”, for to make clear that are the Hispanic people to who is directed this celebration.

The “Day of the Hispanidad” is presumably for to bring out the Hispanic race, started for the blend of the native Americans and the Spanish conquerors, when Colon conquered America, but now (at least in Spain) the people only celebrates this day for to makes feel upside of the rest of people, underestimating them and forgetting the really reason of this day, that it pretends to be honest. Then, the 12 of October of every years was declared bank holiday.And when arrives this date, the extreme right-wingers go out to the streets to state and to feel pride for to be Spanish people.

My really opinion with pictures and horrible pictures of the hispanidad.

the inuit

The Eskimos live in the artic regions of America, Greenland and Siberia. They prefer to be called the Inuit, because Eskimo is a derogatory term that mean «devourer of meat». This people have their origins in the northeast of Asia. Do some thousands of years they crossed the Berlin’s strait for to stay in the north of America too. The Inuit live in the north’s tundra of Canada, Alaska and Greenland. In this zone of the Earth live near of 100.000 persons. The Inuit have a nomad life, they follow the migrations of the animals that they hunt, like the caribous, the bears, the whales and the seals. Of that ones and of others animals they use all the possible parts for to eat, to wrap up and to construct igloos and tools for to hunt, like for example, the whales’ teeth (the Inuit take a whale’s beard and he coils it inside of a fat’s ball, this ball is eaten for a polar bear and when the fat is dissolved in its stomach, the beard stretches and hurt inside, then the Inuit hunter only have to follow the bear until it collapses). Actually, for the strong process of civilization, there is a big chance in their form of life. The Inuit are organized in familiar groups and every member has a specific work. The Inuit are hunter and worker people. In the family, the first-born has always to be a man, for that in the future he looks after and feed to his parents and to the rest of his family (his smaller sisters). And if the first-born is a women, the Inuit abandons the baby in the snow.

He made one’s debut like director with the cartoons’ short, Vincent. The next work of Burton was a short calls Frankenweenie, a imaginative and young viewpoint of the legend of Frankenstein.

After that, Tim Burton has directed a lot of extraordinary films with splendid casts, eerie pictures and fantastic stories. In Hollywood, they admires his originality and his risky work. Tim Burton is my favorite director because he has a very characteristic and funny style. I have never seen a bad or boring Burton’s film and two of my favorites movies are Burton’s films (Big Fish and Edward Scissorhands). Moreover, he always have wonderful actors that they fits in his mad and funny characters perfectly, Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp.

Tim Burton gives to his movies an unique touch that do them very special. I love his films because they always grip me from the beginning and because all his movies have a magic and fantasize side that make me feel like in a dream.

ulaluna

Ulaluna is a young girl that she belong to the tribe of the Litoga lake, a tribe of only five families, that it lives in the north pole’s region, away from the civilization. Everything was fine for Ulaluna until the morning of the big change, Ulaluna was playing with her friends and she was swept out. Ulaluna appeared in a rare earth, away from her home. From this moment she is meeting different and estrange people while she looks for the return’s way. This is a very entertain book, because it has a lot of short capitols and in every capitols she find a new and interesting adventure. I am reading this book because it is one of the books that Vera has recommended me and she has lent me (together with The violet diary of Carlota, I asked for this book to Vera because I have read The red diary of Carlota and I loved it) and I’m very happy for that because I am enjoying with the return to home of Ulaluna. I like that every capitols give you something about to think with a funny and fantastic form to see, though every this things are took of the reality. And I think that is genial the form to interact with the different characters, it has remembered me to the story of Alice in wonderland. This is a very interesting book that it is teaching me something new with every stories. Ulaluna is a book written for Jesús Ferrero, though he says that " She is the unique and really author of this book, I only made a note of Ulaluna dictates to me, in a place calls imagination."

paris je t'aime

Vera and I wanted to watch this movie because Vera likes French cinema and Elena was slept when she went to see it in the cinema (it doesn’t mean that the film wasn’t interesting). So after of many attempts, we got to watch it. Fine.

Paris, Je t’aime narrate different stories about love, from different points of view, that they happens in Paris. The 18 stories are directed by different directors, like; Olivier Assayas, Gérard Depardieu, Gurinder Chadha, Joel and Ethan Coen, Isabel Coixet, Alfonso Cuarón, Alexander Payne, Daniela Thomas, Oliver Schmitz, Gus van Sant… Vera: Directed by Isabel Coixet, my favorite story has been a story about a man that he wants to separate of his wife, because he is in love of an other women (Leonor Watling). When his wife said him that she has cancer, he decides to face to the circumstances and to stay with her. Then he rediscover his love for she. I like this story because it demonstrates that when the situations get worse, they can have their positive part, in spite of you think that everything were lost. Elena: One of the stories that I prefer is about a vampire woman fell in love of a boy (Elijah wood) and she is unable of to eat him. He try to keep her cutting his veins, but he doesn’t get it and he die. She save his life converting him in vampire. I loved this story because as I like books about fantasy romance, I know the importance of she doesn’t eat him. For us this film has meant a lot, because we wanted to see it from long time and because all the stories have transmitted us something. And it has attracted us for its different points of view of the different directors, we think that this is a very complete form to see the love.

My brother, Carlos, is student of fourth year of his degree in the polytechnic of Valencia and now he is in Gothenburg for to study this year with a Erasmus scholarship. He went from the airport of Madrid last week. He lives in a residence of students with other Erasmus of different countries. This days, that there aren’t classes yet, they go out of party for the city and they meet new people, but the next month he will begin the new year in a new university, in a new country, with news teachers, news companions and everything in English. :) I’m happy for his departure because he will amuse very much, because he will learn how is the Sweden culture and because it is a very nice experience that I want to live when it is my turn too, but I love him a lot and I miss him. :(
