UNCLE TOM´S CABIN

This is a very interesting book that I read a lof of time ago, when I was at the High school ; it tells about injuries that stood the black skin people in the United States during eighteen century, where they were slaves of the white people. Tom was a good person and He was a slave too but his owners had a great fond for him, because He used to help everybody specially the children. He was married and had two children but economical problems of his owner He had to be sold to a bad person who didn´t bear him because He always used to be happy and good temper although other people weren´t on the same way. Unfortunately Tom left his family and had to stand a bad life far away from them; eventually He died because He was hurt by your new chief through whipping just at the moment when your first owner had gotten enough money to get him again. This interesting book was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe who was born in 1811 and died in 1896, she got married and had seven children. When she was 22 years old the slavery at that time made to her write this story that is one of ten books that she did in all her life.

The Father of Science Fiction and his travel “From the Earth to the Moon”

Many people recommend the book “From the Earth to the Moon” written by Jules Verne for kids, because it has a lot of science fiction and kids just love it. For me, you can discover new things every time you read this book. You can be again a kid or you can make a lot of calculus to discover if all can be true.

I always have wondered what he saw, what he was studding, what he was reading to have that imagination. Some writes said when he was a kid, he used to live near to a river and all the ships he saw are part of his inspiration and curiosity. Then he started to read, study and invent a lot of things.

Some biographers thought he was seer. Others said that he was a genius, like Leonardo da Vinci. He knew a lot of mats, geology, astronomy physics and many things more. However, the person who helped him to improve books was his best publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel. He said to Jules he have to make books attractive for all ages and not only to scientific audience.

The first time I read this book was when I was 12 years old and since that time I see me studding technology. Just think how a man, the writer, could write travels and adventures one hundred years before it could be real… This inspire every one.

Angels & Demons (Dan Brown)

I read "Angels & Demons" 1 year ago approximately. Before I read the Da Vinci Code, was brilliant I compare both of them and I prefere the first one.

The book was published in 2000. The principal character is Robert Langdonwho is also the principal character of the novel "The Da Vinci Code". The thriller es about science vs. religion.

The story begin with an assassination. Robert Langdon, tries to stop what seems to be a legendary secret society, that want to destroy the Vatican City with a new discover the power of antimatter. In the Vatican there are a hidden bomb and a serial killer.

The novel is entertaining from beginning to the end. Reality, fiction and an interesting way to write. He has the ability to want to read more and more. Data and information placed in the novel are real and product research of the author and his wife, in fact, it inspired him to write this kind of story.

For me the debate which is to be trusted : science or religion is an important point of the story, you should be read!

Vaduz is smaller than Cuenca but the economy is similar to, because there work more in the agriculture, cattle raising and wood work.

El Alchemist

By: Paulo Coelho

For me the best book that I had read is The Alchemist, this book was written by Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian writer that born in Rio de Janiero, son of Pedro Queima de Souza an engineer that didn't support his artistic career, inclosed when he was 17 his father had him incame to a mental institution where he endured electroshock therapy, even when he got involucred with a theatre group and started work as a journalist. But he continued with his dream, when he worked by a magazzine when publishing a series of comic strips about freedom, he was imprisoned and later was kidnapper and tortured by paramilitaries. He away from progressive politics and began working as an executive in the music industry.

The book talks about the life of Santiago, a pastor who fought for their dreams, their parents wanted that him became a priest, but he traveled to Egypt in search of a treasure, even when he had a lot of problems and difficulties, He continued with search, Finally he found his treasure also found his love.

This book teaches that you never have to stop of fight for your dreams.

A large America

well when I read this book, I Know that the book was part of biography the story of his granfathers and "Gabo". Gabriel Garcìa Marquèz was called so since his childhead. Really I read the biography of the Gabo and after I can read Cien años de soledad, This book treat the migration of her grandfather when he kill to a friend of her natal village. The died of his friend was for a bad understood with the mother of the friends.

And of this form all the event with her grandfather are transmitted to Gabo when he was a youn and he life in the grandparent house becouse your parent traveled onother cyti for your work.

It possible to say that this estage in the life of Gabo nevermore was retiring up to remaining printed in one of her big you write novels.

The life in the novel is the same life that he had when he was a child. After read the books, Cien años de soledad and her biography, I think. When spoke of like know the ice, the first move that see with your grandfather .

The wished time for Gabriel Garcia Marquez became reality as a result of months of hard work, when he wrote “Cien Años de Soledad” which was a successful work.Already he was a famous writer and decided only write his owns works, obviously he had money to do this.Being a name known he traveled for some countries exalting the respect of the human rights.In 1982 he won the Nobel Prize of literature and obtained money which let him found the School of Movie of San Antonio de Baños in Cuba, place destined to stimulate and help to youth in the art of the movies.In 1994 published his last novel “ Del Amor y Otros Demonios”Last March 6 was the 80th birthday of Gabo and it is celebrated by the minister of culture of Colombia. He ordered the reconstruction of his natal house in Aracataca.Actually it is known that he works in memories where his principal personage dies when he writes the last phrase of his work.
No doubt it is one of the most important this times.

I Know they are coming to kill me

This novel is about the born, life and died of Gabriel Garcia Moreno. He was the president of Ecuador for two periods (1859-1865 and 1869-1875).

This novel present an interrogant about who was the intellectual author of one of the most controversial crimes in Ecuador " The Murder of Gabriel Garcia Moreno, one of the biggest Ecuadorian presidents" . He is the symbol of the Republican Epoque in our nation.

Alicia Yanez Cossio who is the author of this novel analizes if his murder was ¿Conspiracion or revenge? García Moreno was famous for its strenght of character and authoritarianism but at the same time he was a man tyrant and indolent.

He was considered a genius thats why many people love him but many people used to hate him either because he used to send to the wall for kill to everybody who were agains him.

The ecuadorian Alicia Yanez Cossio is undoubthedly one of the leading figures of the first Chamber International Book and The Word, that`s why she was a candidate to the Cervantez prize.

She doesn`t have anything in common with this novel "Se que vienen a matarme", her life seems to be very happy , normal and succesful.

This book has an english translation made by De Rogers, and in one comment that i found in the internet Alicia Yanez Cossio said that she was wonderfully of how this author had intrepretated the book in the same way as she done.

García Márquez then worked as a foreign correspondent in Caracas, Rome, Paris, Barcelona, India, and New York City.

my opinion about the book "cien años de soledad":

Well, when I rode this book was when I was a child and it was the first book of Gabriel Garcia Marquez that I rode... when I rode it, it was very difficult for me because I had a very extensive vocabulary. Well, now I have read many of Gabriel Garcia's novels and I had to read again this book, I finished to read 2 weeks ago and discusses the history of the "buendia" and I love this book because it is very different from the others and create events least expected.
I love the novels of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and above all "cien años de soledad" for his fluency and fertile imagination that the author is describing exactly each character mainly to overall aureliano buendia ... Since we last told all his life to understand the context of the novel

"CUORE" (Heart)

This is a novel that I rode when I was twelve, honestly, I guess it's has been the unique book I've ever read, so I don't remember it so well but I'm gonna try:

This is a novel wroten by the italian Edmundo de Amicis, and this is about a little boy who tell us a short story of his life, in others words it's a kind of diary.

The novel has some sections, in each one, this kid named Henry, show us how his life is. Tell us the days in school, how he has to defend to his friends from another bad guys, how rudes the teachers where in those days, but at the same time how happy they were sharing with his friends all kind of things like toys, bikes, playing in the streets without any danger around them, etc. The way henry endeavors to be a good son, a good student, a good friend.

He also tell us about his family, how they taught him good customs, and study very hard to be someone important in the life. He relate us a lot of experiences of his childhood, some of them are sad but another are happy, like everybody else.

I liked so much this novel, because it feels so real, and you get interested about it, this is not a fiction or imaginary novel, it's is a novel based on true life, here you can find stories that could happen to you when you were a child. Anyway I'd like to recommending you this book because when you start to read it you're gonna like it a lot. The book try to teach us the nobility that every single person must have.

Edmundo de Amicis's Biography

I didn't find a lot of information about the relationship of Edmundo de Amicis's life and his novel "Cuore", but I know this novel is about patriotism, loyalty, fidelity, friendship, I supossed all of this great values he learned from his childhood until he was on Militar School of Modena, a place where you learn to share with your partners.

Another events that marked his life was that he enrolled in Socialist Party, and where he got a lot of moral and didactic ideas. Amicis lived in a time when Italian unit was rebuilding and used to see so many kids who came from all the corners of Italy.

Paula, from Isabel Allende.

One the books I love more, was "Paula" from Isabel Allende.

This story is about her daughter Paula. She got ill, when she was 28 years old, she was in come and she had to stay many months in the hospital (from december 1991 until january 1992) and Isabel was with her every single day.
While Paula was ill, Isabel tell her every step she made in all her life, the time when she was a child, and she had to live in countries like Bolivia and Beirut, because her stepfather used to work there. The time when she was young, the first time she felt in love and she got married, she told Paula about the time she got her, and they went to live in Belgic and Zwitzerland, also she told the time that her uncle Salvador Allende was president of Chile, and then because of that they have to moved to Venezuela, etc. She made a book, just of stories that happend in her live, until she was trying to fight with the ill of Paula. After Paula dies she wrote letters for her, poems and memories.

Isabel Allende, she born in Lima-Perù, on August 2nd of 1942. At the age of 3 years old she went to live in Chile with her mother and brothers, after her parents get divorced. When she was child and young she lived in many different places. Isabel was married 2 times.
She published articles in newspapers and magazines in America and Europe, also she made lectures tours and speech tours in universities and colleges of America and Europe. She also participated in theater in her country such as "El Embajador" (1971), "La Balada del Medio Pelo" (1973), and "Los Siete Espejos" (1974). The books she wrote are many, the famous ones are:
“The House of the Spirits”, (1982)
“Eva Luna'”, (1985)
“Paula”, (1994)
“Aphrodite” (recipes, stories and other aphrodisiacs), (1997)
“My Invented Country”, (2003)
“Zorro”, (2005)
“Inés of My Soul”, (2006)
Isabel Allende thinks that her most significant achievement is not her writing, it's the love she shares with her family.

Comparing the book with her life I just can say the things I felt while I read the book; Isabel loves her family and she used to love very very much her daughter Paula, so the time when Paula was sick is normal she suffer very much; and Isabel start to remember all her live and tell Paula, that also she couln`t hear her, because she felt lonely. Specially the book is about Isabel's life, so it depends the point of view you read it to interpret it.

The seven secrets of success

I have read this book and I liked it very much, this is a very interesting, it has been wrote by Richard Webster, it is about 7 easy steps to have the success in the life. This 7 steps are explained like a story, a story about a guy called Kevin, he is 28 years old, he lose his own business and his wife and because of this he tried to suicide, but Todd an old man who had a lot of problems too but he reached the success, he helped to Kevin to solve his problems giving him some advices. Like i am going to say now:

The first step is:
*Live the present

The second step is:
* Hug the trees and the life

The third step is:
* Make goals that you became true.

The forth step is:

*You can find opportunities wherever you are

The fifth step is:
*Perseverance

The sixth step is:

*Trust on yourself

The seventh and the last step is:

*Help the others, forgive them and forgive to yourself

As you can see the book is very good for that people who don´t fill so fine in their lifes and it is good for those who wants an advice too.

Oh well i have been looking for the story of this book, and i found that Richard (the book´s author) has wrote it for a friend 15 years ago to help him, Webster says that his friend used to have a lot of hard problems, he did´n´t want to talk to anybody, even with his family. So Richard wrote this book for him because he liked reading too much. But this book was just for his friend, so when his friend started a new life after reading the book, he said to Webster if he could make copies of it to help a lof of people that have the same problems as him and he made it. So a few years later Richard have found people that said they have changed their lifes after reading the book and nowadays i know people including me that when you read the book you can fill in you that change you need. So I recommend to read THE SEVEN SECRETS OF SUCCESS it is really amazing.

Best Regards

Men are from mars, women are from venus

Hello, how are you?

What do you think about the title?

Well, to beginning, we know that men and women are very differents in particular how we are feeling in love, but the problem is that we don't acept this.

Our differences:

Men and women have differents ways to hide their feelings when major will be share their feelings.

Women have different values: love, care, communication, relationships, sharing time with people that they love, live together in harmony.

Men are doing things to prove themselves that their power and their abilities are better, for their autonomy is a symbol of efficiency. They dislike talk about your problems.
Men say "Women are so complicated that we don't understand", but women say the same. !Terrible!

Until next time, good bye.

But don´t forget us to mention about in the north of Athens they are the Olympic Facilities, remodeled especially for the Olympic Games of 2004.

I chose this city because a friend lives there but he was living in our city some months ago and he told me that his city is very beautiful and I would really love to travel there when I finish my studies.

Florence: The birthplace of the Italian Renaissance

I’m going to talk about Florence because I love the art and its expressions and this city is a very important place where the Renaissance had an amazing development. The city is the centre of art and architecture of Italy. I hope that article is interesting for you and enjoy it a lot, let’s start.

From 1865 to 1870 the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. Florence lies on the Arno River and has a population of around 400,000 people. Florence experiences a warm temperate continental climate. The summers are hot and humid. Rainfall occurs in winter accompanied by snowfall.

A center of medieval European trade and finance, the city is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and was long ruled by the Medici family. Florence is also famous for its magnificent art and architecture. It is said that, of the 1,000 most important European artists of the second millennium, 350 lived or worked in Florence. The city has also been called the Athens of the middle Ages.

The historic Center of Florence was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 1982.
Next I going to mention the most important artist from this part of Italy, each of them have difference styles to make art in different ways like picture, sculpture, architecture, etc.

o Painters: Vasari, Bronzino, Pontormo, Andrea del Sarto, Fra Bartolommeo, Miguel Angel, Rafael, Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, Signorelli, Girlandaio, Masaccio, Giotto, Botticelli, Andrea Verrochio, Filippino Lippi y Piero della Francesca.

o Sculptors: Giacomo della Porta, Giovanni da Bologna, Miguel Angel, Desiderio, Donatello y Antonio Pollaiuolo.

o Architects: Vasari, Miguel Angel, Sangallo, Bramante, Alberti, Filarete, entre otros.

o Writers:Dante, Poliziano, Boccaccio y Maquiavelo

The city tries to keep the medieval appearance and all its tourist places can be visited for people by feet: the famous Ponte Vecchio, the bridge covered with stores, the unmistakable duomo of Florence, Piazza della Signoria, where the Palazzo Vecchio is and the chapels of Medici. The lovers of the pictures should visit the gallery of Uffizi, one of the most important collections of pictures in the world.

As you can imagine, the city has a lot of places to visit and discover a new mean for the art and culture. I would love to travel to Florence one day to know everything and understand the meaning of Renaissance.

If we compare this city with Cuenca we'll notice that exist differences and some similarities. Both are cultural cities and small cities from its country. Florence is older than Cuenca and its culture belongs to other point in the time.

BUENOS AIRES

Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina, it is localited in the south hemisphere of the American continent, Buenos Aires is the second biggest city of south america and one of the major centers of the world.

Buenos Aires's nightlife is better than Cuenca's nightlife.

The food is not very tasty... they eat a lot pasta, salads the food is insipid, cuenca's food is much tastier than Buenos Aires's food.. they drink many artificial beverages for example their juices aren't made with natural fruits, the juice of natural fruits is expensive, they always drink a beverage called "mate" it is to taste bitter, Cuenca's beverages are healthier than Buenos Aires's beverages.

Overweight: a new problem in our country

In our looks-obsessed society, lots of people think that being overweight is an appearance issue. But being overweight is actually a medical concern because it can seriously affect a person's health.
When people eat more calories than they burn off, their bodies store the extra calories as fat. A couple of pounds of extra body fat are not a health risk for most people. But when people keep up a pattern of eating more calories than they burn, more and more fat builds up in their bodies. Befote the main problem in our country was the low weight but the obesity are increasing.
Eventually, the body gets to a point where the amount of body fat can have a negative effect on a person's health. Doctors use the terms "overweight" or "obese" to describe when someone is at greatest risk of developing weight-related health problems.As you've probably heard, more people are overweight today than ever before. Experts are calling this an "obesity epidemic." This health problem affects young people as well as adults — one third of all kids between the ages of 2 and 19 are overweight or obese. So younger people are now developing health problems that used to affect only adults, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes.
Why Do People Become Overweight?

Obesity tends to run in families. Some people have a genetic tendency to gain weight more easily than others because they burn calories more slowly. During times when food was scarce, this was a real advantage. But now that food is available 24/7 in most industrialized countries, an efficient metabolism that once ensured our survival now works to our disadvantage.
Although genes strongly influence body type and size, the environment also plays a role. People today may be gaining weight because of unhealthy food choices (like fast food) and family habits (like eating in front of the television instead of around a table). High-calorie, low-nutrient snacks and beverages, bigger portions of food, and less-active lifestyles are all contributing to the obesity epidemic.
Sometimes people turn to food for emotional reasons, such as when they feel upset, anxious, sad, stressed out, or even bored. When this happens, they often eat more than they need.

Measuring Weight
Figuring out if a teen is overweight can be more complicated than it is for adults. That's because teens are still growing and developing. Doctors and other health care professionals often use a measurement called body mass index (BMI) to determine if someone is overweight.
Health Problems of Being Overweight
Obesity is bad news for both body and mind. Not only can it make a person feel tired and uncomfortable, carrying extra weight puts added stress on the body, especially the bones and joints of the legs. As they get older, kids and teens who are overweight are more likely to develop diabetes and heart disease.
Luckily, it's never too late to make changes that can effectively control weight and the health problems it causes. Those changes don't have to be big. For a start, make a plan to cut back on sugary beverages, eat more vegetables, or healthy food and avoid fatty foods and get more exercise, even if it's just 5–10 minutes a day.

Washington DC is the capital of USA and the capital of the world. It is at the east of the country and every idea has born here. The Potomac River crosses the border of this city. This river is bigger than our rivers in Cuenca.

All decisions from the whole world have born in the White House and in the Capitol. They control us from there. However, those are very important and very beautiful places to visit. If you are lucky, you can go inside to the Capitol!.

The most important place in Washington DC is the National Mall. It is not a sopping mall. It is like our Solano Avenue but is very longer than here. You can walk, visit important monuments and memorials. More over, you can visit all museums by free and you can see dinosaurs, spatial suits, modern art, and learn more about our past, our present and future.

I chose this city because the last April I was there and I liked it. When I was there, the weather was slightly hotter than our city and for me was perfect. I whish I could return there because my other half, my sister, is there.
