Far from the madding crown


Can you summarize the book in two minutes?

The book is a novel- edition 1895, published 1874. Gabriel Oak is a shepherd and he’s 28 years old. He saves money to rent a small farm for some sheep. One day Batsheba Everdence appears in the life of Gabriel and Gabriel falls in love with her. Batsheba is a very proud girl and also says no to answer. She arrives to live with her aunt, the days pass and Gabriel asks her to marry him but she says NO, she values her independence and the other not much. Gabriel accepts the answer and he can’t do it anything.



A few months later, she moves to Weatherbury, a village some miles off. When Gabriel and Batsheba meet again, things are very different. A new men causes Gabriel to be ruined. He wanted a new job and they find a job in the town of Casterbridge. When he arrives, he know that the town is next to Weatherbury, the town of Batsheba. In the town was a big fire and Gabriel helps and controls the situation and everybody was thanks him for it. At the moment Gabriel asked if they need a shepherd. And Batsheba, now a rich woman, accepts Gabriel to work for her.



Batsheba now has another admirer, William Boldwood. She sends a Valentine letter to William in the letter it said : Marry me. Willam didn’t know that it’s a joke, and he was obsessed with her and proposed to marry her. As normal, she said No.

The sheep start to swell up and then she discovers that the only person that can heal. She comes to him to ask for help.



Frank Troy returns to the town and marrys Batsheba but a little later she discovesr that her new husband is a player without interest in farming. Frank was in love with Fanny before. The day of the wedding Fanny goes to the wrong church. Frank was angry with Fanny. Batsheba discovers that William had a child with Fanny. Batsheba and Frank split up. Then Batsheba falls in love with Gabriel and they marry.



Is there a mystery sentence or a turning point in the story?

Yes, one mystery of the novel was when Fanny who was Frank’s lover appeared and they have a child and after the mum and the child die. This is a moment that I didn’t except.



When and where does the story take place?


The story happens in England. In the nineteenth century. I can know because when Fanny dies in the tomb it says the year. And the society was in this way, I said for example the character.



Who are the main characters in the story? What’s their role?

Gabriel is the main character and is a farmer, honest and he marrys Batsheba

Batsheba is a rich woman, she’s proud. She has a farmer and Gabriel works for her.

Fanny is the wife of Frank. During the story they disappear but they have importance. Frank is Batsheba and Fanny’s husband. He’s a bad men. After Batsheba splits up with hm.

William is another lover of Batsheba.



Choose one character ( main or secondary) and describe him/her

Gabriel Oak is a farmer, and he is very honest. He always tries to help. He’s 28 years old. He’s not rich, he’s poor. He falls in love very quickly. He’s a good friend, and for him it’s not important that Batsheba said no for the marriage because he is always there.



Can you identify with any character? Why?

I can’t identify with any character, because they are special and very different to me. For example I can identify with Gabriel because is honest and sincere but nothing else. I can’t identify with Batsheba because she’s very proud and always says No and I always said yes, it’s very difficult that I say No



Choose your favourite moment in the story

My favorite moment in the story is when Gabriel and Batsheba fall in love and when they meet for first time. I don’t know but I consider that is a romantic situation and at the same time complicatde.



Which new key words have you learnt to understand the story

Field,lamb,hut,shepherd,gasped.



Provide an alternative ending
Gabriel meets another woman and fall in love with her, and Batsheba is alone for some years but afterwards she meets a intelligent, beautiful and a rich man and she falsl in love, and they marry.



Would you recommend this book? Why?
Well, I think that it’s a special book, At first I thought that it’s a good book and it’s beautiful to read but later when I had read half of the book, I changed my opinion. It was a little boring and difficult to understand but if you like reading and book of love and old ways to think, then it’s a beautiful book.

THE BEATLES - Lucy in the sky with diamonds


Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newpaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.

Valentine's Day, or Love is in the Air


It’s that time of the year when couples show their love for each other by sending cards, flowers and chocolates. But Valentine’s Day is not only about public displays of affection: in recent years it has also become big business. In the UK alone, more than £20 million is spent on flowers, whilst in the United States over $1 billion is forked out on chocolates.
Although Valentine’s Day has become a global industry with more than 80 million roses sold worldwide, the origins of the day are unclear and hidden in the mists of time. Nobody knows exactly who St Valentine was, although some historians suggest he was a Roman martyred in the third century AD by a Roman Emperor. It is said that the first recorded Valentine’s card was sent by the imprisoned Duke of Orleans in 1415. It is believed that he sought solace from his confinement by writing love poems to his wife.
Valentine’s Day, or its equivalent, is now celebrated in many countries around the world. However, the traditions often differ from place to place. In Japan, for example, it is customary for the woman to send chocolates to the man, whilst in Korea April 14th is known as ‘Black Day’ and is when the unfortunate men who received nothing on Valentine’s Day gather to eat noodles and commiserate with each other.
Technological developments have also played their part in keeping Valentine’s Day relevant in the 21st century. Valentine’s e-cards have been all the rage in recent years. However, internet security experts urge web users to be wary as malicious hackers could use e-cards to spread viruses and spyware.Valentine’s cards can also be used for less than romantic purposes. Police in the UK city of Liverpool sent Valentine’s cards to criminals who failed to appear in court or have not paid fines. The cards contained the verse, “Roses are red, violets are blue, you’ve got a warrant, and we’d love to see you.” Who says romance is dead?

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps until I'm full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

[CHORUS]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to with you

El olor de tu piel permanece en mi ahora,
Probablemente estas en tu vuelo de regreso a casa,
Necesito refigio para mi propia proteccion,bebe,
Para estar conmigo y no con la calamidad,
Paz,Serenidad.

(CORO)
Espero que sepas,espero que sepas,

Pero necesito seguir adelante con mi vida,
Es tiempo de ser una niña grande ahora,
Y las niñas grandes no lloran,
No lloran,no lloran,no lloran

El sendero en el que estoy caminando,
Debo de atravesarlo sola,
Debo de dar pasitos como de un bebe hasta que haya crecido,
Los cuentos de hadas no siempre tienen un final feliz,cierto!
Y preveo que si me quedo el futuro sera muy negro.

Sere tu mejor amiga y tu seras el mio,
Mi Valentin,
Si,puedes tomar mi mano si quieres,
Porque yo quiero sostener la tuya tambien,
Seremos compañeros de juegos y amantes,
Y compartiremos nuestros mundos secretos,
Pero es momento de que me valla a casa,
Se hace tarde,Oscurece aya afuera,
Necesito estar conmigo en vez de con la calamidad,
Paz,Serenidad

Martin Luther King, Jr & Barack Obama Extra Points

eX
Martin Luther King, Jr.
“I have a Dream”
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.
But not only that:
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

Barack Obama
President elect victory Speech (“Change has come to America”)
delivered 4th November 2008, Chicago


This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing – Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons – because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America – the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves – if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:
Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

Recuerda donde estamos ahora
Aquí es donde tu vida empieza
Te sientes como ti te pierdes en la muchedumbre
La vida que mira se enciende sin ti
Bebé bien es tu vuelta a brillar
Todo empieza a la derecha aquí
No dejar este momento detrás
Recuerda donde estamos ahora
Abrirte los ojos
y tomartelo todo adentro
Recuerda donde estamos ahora
Aquí es donde tu vida empieza
No mires lejos
Es la vida que eliges ahora la crees
