The Final Blog

Well, this is like autoevaluation mark in the elementary school, or something like that. 

About the experience, I think it was entertained. I mean, writing about different things, shared opinions with the partners and the teacher, and debating about it, brings a little bit of colour in this grey school of bitter people. Besides, I can say anything, and no one will re-take me for it. 

About writing skills, I think I get better. I've never writing so much in the school, besides short phrases and answers, and here, I wrote a lot. Even this short blogs were more than I wrote in school. Let's be honest, english at elementary and high school sucks. But at university, it was more difficult and self-taught; teacher doesn't need to be behind me telling me what to do, and how to do it. 

In the future, I'd like topics will be more entertained, not something boring like "an expert in your field". It was so boring, I don't even have anything to say about it. 

I'd like to write something more creative, like stories, fictions, or fairytales. Or say some item, a person, a character, a thing, a place, and to invent a story with those elements, I think it would be fun... At least, I think it's fun. It's puts your imagination to work, in this place full of memory, sorrounded with codes and laws.

And that's all. 

See you at next semester (?)!

Favorite TV Show

Ok, today there's no doubt: my favorite show is Digimon Adventure 01!

I'd choose Pokemon too, because I was so crazy about the show when I was a kid, but I think Digimon is more significative in my recent life.

I don't remember where I used to watch the show, it could be Fox Kids or "El Club de los Tigritos" in Chilevisión channel, but I remember I was in second year of elementary school, my older cousin watched the show too (and because of him I started to watch the show), and that I had a friend who watched Digimon, and we played together, pretending to be "chosen kids" like the main characters.

The story is about seven children (in the end, eight) who were in a summer camp, and suddenly, they were caught in another dimension, another world, with their tiny (at the beginning) partners, the digimons. Each boy and girl had one digimon partner. So, children and digimons had the mission to save the Digiworld, and after, their own world, that were threatened by evil digimons.

I like this show because there's a couple of chapters so weird, when the children went back to the real world (Odaiba, Japan) with their digimons, and I thought that their lifestyle it's seems like lifestyle we have here. I mean, they go at the school with uniforms, no with colors clothes like USA children; they live in departments, in a city surrounded by buildings, in some way like Santiago. Today I know our lifestyles are totally different, with no compares like USA lifestyle, but that's the thought I have with 7 years old.

In these chapters, things seemed to calm down a little bit, but deeply, the menace started to become dangerous. And I like this tension.-

Favorite movie

Like songs, I don't have a favorite movie (neither a book), I just like it. For today, I choose "A Clockwork Orange".

A Clockwork Orange is a british movie directed by Stanley Kubrick, in 1971, with Malcolm McDowell as the main character, Alex. The movie based in Anthony Burgess's novel, in 1962. 

A Clockwork Orange is about Alex's story, a fifteen years old's charming and irreverent boy, who makes a lot of riot with his gang, his "droogies", every night. He received many warnings from police and social worker about changing his behavior, until one night, after raped a writer's wife and stolen his house, he went to an old woman's house, and killed her by accident. He was arrested and sentenced to jail. The plot of the story starts here; Alex is used like a guinea pig for an innovator method: Ludovico Tecnique. This a new rehabilitation method which consist, basically, in a brainwashing, and every time Alex has a thought that stimulate him for doing something "wrong", against moral society, he feels physical pain. His will is destroyed, and he's forced to have a right behavior. He isn't a criminal anymore, but he can't decide about his life, his thoughts, and his actions. He became some kind a machine, without will, like a clockwork orange.

I like this movie because Alex is a charming boy, he has particular tastes in music, he speaks nadsat language, and he has a snake like pet. Also, because it shows how far society can go in it's intention to control itself, destroying people's autonomy if it's necessary.

"But what I do I do because I like to do."- Little Alex.
