Final reflecition

After so many sleepless night this is over, and It is time to do a final reflection.

Time to look back on my blog. 

My first written post is this: http://behappytribute.blogspot.com.es/2013/12/murderers-in-rue-morgue.html

This book is very interisting and sadistic like all other books by Edgar Allan Poe.
The narrator lived in Paris with his friend monsieur Auguste Dupin.
They lived a strange life because, all day they onlky read or wrote...At night they went into the street and walked for hours.
One cay the narratoer read a tragic news in a newspaper.
The news said there were murders in a Rue Morgue.
The interior of the house was destroyed, the bodies , were mutilated, one body was in the chimemey. The old woman's body was outside, near the house.
The police taled to many people abut this tragedy, The people heard two voices, one voice was form a french man but the other voice nobody knew what language it was. 
One night Dupin and his friend visited the house where the murderer took place, Dupin found a lot of things and an orange-brown hair.
These clues showed the killer wasn't human, and one sailor lost a orange-outang so the killer was the animal.
The sailor explain it to Dupin and his friend.

I think this book is a very good bok beacuse it is very exiting. I like Poe's books, but they are a little bit sadistics and strange. 

This first post was a summery of a Edgar Allan Poe's book and it is a task. 

It is really shematic I didn't use any connectors, all the phrases are connected with commas or full stops. Also, the vocabulary is a little bit basic. 

And my last composition is what I am writing now but this is but the second-to-last is this: 

Five years ago I went to a summer English camp and I didn't know what to expect, so I was very nervous but in the end I had a great time because I met one of my best friend there.

My best friend is called Emma Rodriguez, she was born on Mat of 98' so she is the same age as me. Emma is 180cm tall and she always wears a large ponytail made with a long, wavy, shiny bronw hair. She has hazel eyes, a tiny nose and an average mouth, also she wears glasses and her face is a heart form. emma is slim and every day wears fashion clothes. 

Plus, She is very independent and shy but with her friends or family is just on reverse, also Emma is selfsuficient and cold (again with foreign people because when she is with friends is so charming and nice). 

But not all is good, Emma tends to be depresive and closed, a very few people know her in reality. 

Emma likes hip-hop, pop and indie. She likes reading romance and books but she dosen't enjoy Stephen King's books. 

She loves going out with her friends and polishing nails. 

She also loves travelling and she would love work on something that envoles travelling, and because that Emms will study turism. 

-----

It isn't my best composition but at least there are connectors. It isn't my best essey because this essay
is a description and I'm not good on it, but I need to practice more on it, even in Spanish I'm not "good" on it. And of course I still got some mistakes and I need to improve that.

My first oral presentation is this: http://englishblogbatx.blogspot.com.es/2014/12/oral-presentation.html

http://prezi.com/3h3wsc4iho3p/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share

Well, first of all this oral presentation isn't from 4rt of ESO because I didn't posted any self evaluation,  I don't know why, but anyway this presentation is from last year so It will work.

And my last oral presentation is this: http://englishblogbatx.blogspot.com.es/2016/03/oral-presentation-tdr.html

https://prezi.com/zgnsc_unem5t/study-of-castell-de-peraladas-tapestries-based-on-the-eneid/

It is a fact that my grammar and my vocabulary has improve like my pronunciation. But of course this isn't perfect. And during my first english presentation I didn't articulate as well.  The content of the first presentation was about ancient weddings because we were doing some stuff about ancient cultures, and the second one was about my TdR because we were doing our paper abstract.
I think the structure is the same, because the topics were pretty clear but I think my presentations are maturer because of topics and my age.

I think my best oral presentation was my last oral presentation because on that  presentation I did something that I really enjoy; I talked about my TdR and I used some technical terms and my grammar was better. Obviously It wasn't the best TdR but I really enjoy the presentation.

On the other hand, I think my best writing was some kind of review like these ones:
http://englishblogbatx.blogspot.com.es/2016/03/shutter-island-review.html http://englishblogbatx.blogspot.com.es/2015/11/spirited-away.html

Because these reviews were about some good movies that I liked, and I really enjoy doing reviews and share my opinion to everybody, and of course with all these reviews I can use some good connectors.

So, that's all! School just has finish and now we're going to learn english talking or watching some series in O.V. I really enjoy these years here despite all the homework and exams, but I will miss this "easy" days! Anyways, now is time to enjoy this summer and the final "diner-party"

GOT FIRST EPISODE REVIEW

Hi! Two weeks ago the first episode of GoT appeared and I waaaaass sooo exiting, I mean who don't get excited when one of your favourite shows starts again?

Well first of all appear Theon and Sansa, run through the Wolfswood knowing there are already men with hounds chasing them. Brienne and Podrick arrive and a fight begins while the two friends are fighting with the Ramsay's hunters. Sansa accepts Brienne into her service. 

Arya is blind and asks for money in the streets, when the Waif approaches her with two fighting sticks, and gives her one. Arya poorly tries to defend herself but fails, until the Waif stops and says that they'll meet tomorrow.

Varys and Tyrion walk through the city. 
Daario and Jorah are looking for Daenerys.
Daenerys is shown walking , and two Dothraki take her to Khal Moro as a gift. The Khal wants to rape her, but she explains who she is, Khal Drogo's widow. The Khal unbinds her and promises her that she will not be harmed. 

 Tyene stabs Areo Hotah in the back, killing him, while Ellaria stabs Doran in the chest. 

 Cersei asks Jaime when was the first time he saw a dead body, to which Jaime replies their mother's. Cersei tells of her memory of the horror she felt after first seeing her mother's corpse, and wishes not to see it happen to Myrcella.

Meanwhile, Margaery is still imprisoned by the faith, and the High Sparrow comes to visit her. She asks about her brother Loras, but he tells her that she has to confess first. When she admits that nobody is perfect.

At the Wall, the mutineers have left Jon's body where he fell.  Davos convinces Edd to go bring Ghost Melisandre arrives, stating she saw Jon fighting in Winterfell in the flames. Davos and the black brothers doubt the dead Lord Commander could do such a thing and she returns to her room.

All members of the Watch are shown bearing arms toward the room where Jon's body is being guarded by Ser Davos and the men loyal to Jon Snow

Alone in her bedroom, Melisandre she then removes the dress completely and stands nude in front of a mirror. When she removes her large necklace in the mirror Melisandre's reflections shows she has transformed to a 400-year-old woman she has been said to be.

Well, This was such a great chapter and I couldn't expect more! I enjoyed specially those good Girona's views of her streets! Omg I was there when they were filming it! 

In my opinion, the best part was when Daenerys told to the other Dorothakis who was she! She was such a badass in this scene!!! 

Man Tries To Sue God For Being Mean To Him

source 

SUMMARY: 

An Israeli man has applied to the country’s courts for a restraining order against God.

The anonymous man did a petitioned, saying that God has been unkind to him.

The man told the judge: “For the past three years he started to treat me harshly and not nicely.”

 Stuart Winer wryly noted: “A protocol of the hearing noted that God did not turn up for the session, although it did not specify how the court determined the Omnipresent was not in fact there, as opposed to merely exercising the right to remain silent.”

PERSONAL OPINION: 

I think that there are so much crazy people out of here. Obviously that we are not always happy when our lifes aren't going how we though at first but omg who blames God for that? Well it seems that this man does it. And of course that the judge doesn't take him seriously...gosh.
But I'm so scared by the fact that there such an illiterate people. 

Britain is braced for the hottest Summer in 40 years as the country basks in 26C

source 

SUMMARY: 

Britain is braced for the hottest Summer in 40 years as the country basks in 26C sunshine and temperatures warmer than Ibiza.

• But there are  high levels of pollution  that could pose a risk to people with bad health conditions and the elderly
• UK is set for mix of weather with hot temperatures and heavy rain bringing thunder, lightning and even some hail 
• Is the 'hottest summer' for 40 years

Health experts say  avoiding alcohol may be one of the best ways to enjoy the sunshine.

Alcohol like wine and beer and cider contain histamine which can increase the symptoms for those with asthma, or other breathing problems. 

Sophie Yeomans, Met Office forecaster, told MailOnline that temperatures could reach 26C (78.8F) tomorrow - making it the hottest day of the year so far.

The coldest place in the British isles is Lerwick on the Shetland Islands which has reached 10C 

PERSONAL OPINION 

I'm so happy for the ones who live in UK but this is a little bit alarming, It isn't normal that one of the coldest and rainy place of Europe have the "warmest summer". I mean, all this is caused because of climate change so I don't know why everybody is so "happy". 

'No Muslims on German Soil'

source 
SUMMARY: 

No Muslims on German Soil': Thousands of right-wing extremists rally outside Berlin train station against city's influx of refugees About 1,000 right-wing extremists have rallied outside Berlin's train station

• They were protesting against Merkel's welcoming stance towards refugees.

About 1.1 million migrants crossed into Germany last year raising concerns. 

 Only about a fifth of the numbers organisers were being held around Berlin in support of Merkel.

Millions of people have been displaced because of the Syrian War which has been going for five years

PERSONAL OPINION: 

I think that all this fascists are wrong, the right of asylum is a human right and I can't understand why there are some people that are still thinking that immigration is wrong. I don't know why are still so many closed-minds. For example, What the heck is happening now in USA? WTF TRUMP!? This is so surrealist we aren't in XX century anymore! 

Philippines investigates Shell and Exxon over climate change

source 

SUMMARY:

Last month, lawyers for the petitioners met with the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines, a constitutional group investigated human rights violations. Their objective  was to identify  50 of the biggest fossil fuel companies for violating the human rights of Filipinos as a result of catastrophic climate change.The Philippines is one of the countries which is most exposed to natural hazards in the world. It is  known – including by the Filipino government’s Climate Change Commission – that climate change is exacerbating these problems.

But, despite progress in the scientific understanding of the connection between extreme weather events and climate change, the Filipino case still faces challenges. Jurisdiction is the worst problem.

Lawyers face many other questions.

When the investigation concludes, the Filipino government will be force to consider the recommendations of the CHR. 

PERSONAL OPINION

Climate change is an important problem, we need to fight against it but who need to do it more are the undeveloped countries because most of them uses most of the dangerous fuel for the environment. But is good to say that they're using this source of energy because they still are in developing. 

Asylum seekers deported from Cocos Islands arrested by Sri Lankan police

Source 

SUMMARY 

The 12 Sri Lankan asylum seekers deported from Australia’s Cocos Islands have been arrested and taken into Colombo.

The group, which was composed by a woman, one child, and one infant, flown back from the islands overnight on Thursday.

The Australian government has declined to comment on the arrival of the asylum-seeker boat at Cocos, or the group’s rapid forced removal, saying only “the government does not comment on on-water matters”.

They could be back in Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan confirm they have been removed.

The group was into the custody of the criminal investigation department of the Sri Lanka police

Lakshman Soysa, an immigration media spokesman, told that in Sri Lanka all of the deportees had been arrested and they are under  the Criminal Investigation Department.

Normally, asylum seekers who are returned to Sri Lanka are under  police custody or integrate in  Negombo prison. Some spend weeks, or even months in jail, and the fines can be up to 100,000 rupees ($A930).

The asylum-seeker boat arrived on Monday, before being met by the Customs vessel Ocean Protector.

In 2014, after Australia returned 41 Sri Lankan asylum seekers intercepted at sea, the UNHCR said the assessment process was unlawful under international law.

Sri Lankans expelled from UK allege torture after deportation to Colombo

PERSONAL OPINION

In my opinion, I think that everybody needs to have a chance even if the people who need that are from Sri Lanka or NY! The right to asylum is a human right and I think it is unfair that the seekers would go to prison only for search a better country to live. 

But, On the other hand I understand Austria for report the seekers; If they accept all who want to work there without any legal document this country wouldn't work.

My THG fanfiction

I have a watpadd account and I really use often this app. During the past September I made a fan fiction what talks about The Hunger Games.

In particular, This fan fiction talks about another-epilogue-version of Mockingjay because I didn't liked the "official" version so I made my own version! In this version Katniss is with Peeta and has 2 sons in District 12 but his life hasn't change very much, of course that now se has different priorities but she is still enjoining some hunting outing. So my fan fiction explains her hunting day but while she is remembering the old Katniss and suddenly Gale appears.

I didn't write this fan fiction for views or comment or something like that, I really enjoyed writing that and since November the fan fiction's views start growing and now I have like 400 views.

This one-shoot fan fiction is in catalan but I've made another version with spanish and it have some good comments to!!

While my fan fiction was growing I started receiving come good comments like...

The 5th Wave: Book comparison

Last week I've seen The 5th Wave, the movie based on the book made by Rick Yancey. I don't want to do a Film review but I'm going to of a Book-Film Comparison! Yeeeey!!!

Well, First of all I LOOOOOVEEE the movie but I'm not really keen on Ben; he was supposed to be uglier! I mean, during his stay at the camp he was like a zombie! not like a "handsome"-teenager (Now I'll explain why I put " on handsome) He is suppose to be the typical  popular handsome guy but please look at him.

I know that Cassie was in love with him but I still don't like him!

I really enjoy Evan's appearance but there are some changes, for examples; Evan was who shoot Cassie at the road part, also the part in the barn is missing (but this part isn't necessary so no problem), also the Evan's bath part isn't on the book but I like it very much.

Also I really missed the part where Evan says to Cassie <<you are my mayfly>> It is one of my favorite quotes of all this series of books and I was really disappointed when this phrase didn't appeared, because this quote means everything, this quote represents Evan and Cassie's love! 

I really like all the actors, specially Sam! He is so incredible cute!! And is like how was described on the books; with his fluffy-cute-brown teddy bear. (This bear appears on the photo). But when Cassie returns to the base and returns the bear to Sam on the books he doesn't accept it but it does on the movie, and because that you can't really get what the others did to Sam.

And all the Zombie's team because they were really how they were on the books; Teapot is the little cute-rude little girl and Ringer: That rude girl who is who shoot better of all the team but also she is the chess genius, Ringer is so intelligent and concording to that she is who discovers the function of the "Chip".

Okay, now is Cassie's turn, I really like Chloë's performance! She was really like Book's Cassie!! Also her behavior was so credible!

In conclusion, I really enjoyed this movie and I think is a very good adaptation!!!

The Revenant: Review

Last week I saw The Revenant, the exiting movie that gave Leo the Oscar. But first of all, as Wikipedia said "The Revenant is a 2015 American survival film directed, co-produced and co-written by Alejandro G. Iñárritu". Also, this movie is based in part on Michael Punke's novel, inspired on Hugh Glass's life in 1823.

"The Revenant won three Golden Globe Awards, five BAFTA Awards, and at the 88th Academy Awards, Iñárritu, DiCaprio and Emmanuel Lubezki won the awards for Best Director, Best Actor and Best Cinematography, respectively. DiCaprio also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor" as wikipedia said 

The movie starts with an incredible "screen shoot" of an incredible landscape of some-winter-place, where appear the main characters while are hunting because they want the fur of animals (caribous for example).While Glass and his half-Pawnee son Hawk are hunting, an hostile Arikara group attack the rest of Glass's team and the survivors are being forced to abandon the pelts they’d collected.

The survivors go inside the boat so they run away using the river. All goes wrong with Glass, when he suffers a attack caused by an incredible  grizzly bear and her cubs. He tries to kill the bear and surprisingly he can but Glass is badly injured. Without medical attention available, Henry(the captain)  offers money for anyone to stay behind with Glass in case he recovers or dies. The only volunteers are Hawk(Glass's son) and the young Jim Bridger, Fitzgerald eventually agrees to stay because he wants to recover some money because the abandoned pelts. Henry makes Fitzgerald promise that if Glass dies, he will give him a decent burial.

After the young boy leaves,  Fitzgerald attempts to kill Glass ( Glass agreed), but he is stopped by Hawk. Hawk tries to call for help, but Fitzgerald stabs the boy in front of his father. Fitzgerald hides Hawk’s body before Jim returns to the camp. Glass can do nothing but watch. The next morning, Fitzgerald wakes Jim and tells him that a party of Arikara are surrounding them, and left the camp, they drop Glass into a grave and abandon him.

When Fitzgerald and Jim meet up with the Captain at Fort Kiowa, Fitzgerald tells him that  they were unable to save Glass and that Hawk is missing. In gratitude of their service, Henry pays both men but  Bridger refuses the money. Glass starts to move  first by crawling, then walking. He performs a self-surgery to heal his injuries (with fire and powder) while attempting to elude the Arikara. The Arikara captain is searching for his daughter, Powaqa, who was kidnapped by white men.

After escaping the Arikara, Glass meets a Pawnee refugee named Hikuc. After one night,  Glass awakes and discovers Hikuc has been hanged by a group of French colonists. Glass discovers they are responsible for Powaqa’s rape. Glass is pursued by the Arikara and is driven over a cliff. His horse dies in the fall and an Glass uses his body for sleep inside it.

A  survivor of the French comes into Fort Kiowa, where he is questioned about the attack on his men. He reveals he is carrying his attacker’s canteen (which Bridger recognizes it). Fitzgerald, knowing that Glass is the only person who could have the flask, escapes to Texas. The search party finds Glass. When the party returns to the fort, they find that Fitzgerald has escape.

Finally Henry and Glass search Fitzgerald, but Fitzgerald ambushes Henry and shoots him. Glass finds Fitzgerald and kill him so he pushes Fitzgerald into the river just as the Arikara appears. Arikaria's boss scalps and kills Fitzgerald. 

I really enjoyed this movie but it is not my favourite movie. But of course that I really enjoy Leo's character and all his incredible scenes. 

Another part of the movie that I like is the incredible landscapes and all the animals. And obviously I LOVED the scene with the bear.

Human Rights

1- What are the human rights?

Are the rights you have simply for be a human, "They are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being," and which are "inherent in all human beings"^[regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status" according to Wikipedia

2-How many are there?

30 

3- When and where they were invented?

1945 on New York 

4- What is the origin of human rights?

1- No rights

2- Cyrus Cylinder

3- Natural law

4- Magna Carta

5- American Constitution 

6-French revolution

7-Natural rights

8- Napoleon defeat

9-Ghandi

10-World Wars

11- United Nations

5. Which human right are you going to dig deeper?

Watch the video of the human right you choose .  Make a list of new words you hear, if any. Think of an example where this human right is respected and where it is violated.

source

"Article 4.
 

No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms."

I think that this human right isn't respected on undeveloped countris like China when the big companies force to the local population to work there, and of course, they don't have a decent salary. It's a Shame. And unfortunatelly there are a lot of human trade what include sexual trade too.

But luckily on developed countries this human right is respected! But now because of Crisis it hasn't been respected very much. For example. For example, now, some people work so hard and so many hours for the minimum salary.

Here are some good news about these problems

Germany: Prosecuting Satirist Mocks Freedom of Speech

link 

SUMMARY:

German authorities should defend freedom of speech, even if the contents of the speech are offensive to some, Human Rights Watch said today; prosecutors would be allowed to pursue charges against a German satirist who wrote a highly offensive poem about Erdoğan. Merkel said that article 103 of Germany’s criminal code which says that it is illegal to insult foreign heads of state, and the penalty can be 5 years of prison. Merkel would propose to remove it from the criminal code by 2018. 

Jan, the man who wrote the poem, admitted the poem was offensive and said he was trying to test the limits of free speech. 

Freedom of expression is protected under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. In line with the case law of the European Court, criminalizing the kind of offending speech involved in this case violates freedom of expression as it is neither necessary not proportionate.

PERSONAL OPINION:

In my opinion, I think that human rights, in this case freedom of speech, need to be respected and it is obvious that these right aren't always respected. Also, freedom of speech is so susceptible because some politicians use demagogy for avoid this right.
