This story talks about how people see nature. Many people don't pay too much attention to nature and some don't even know what it is. Nature, for me, is everything that surounds us. Every plant, every place , every animal, and all the people.
Every people that don't pay attention to nature think that is something that he or she has always had and will always have. But if we don't take care of it one day it will end. If we contaminate the world, we're contaminating nature at the same time. In these pictures are shown two of the many different types of nature.
In this pic is shown the ocean. For someone it means tranquility, peace, silence, beauty, and many things more. For others that don't appreciate nature, is just water were you can bath and have fun. Besides appreciating the water, you also can see the view of the sun set and some birds in the sky. At night, the ocean look gorgeous with all the stars and the moon illuminating it. Some people don't like the ocean because they say that it is very dirty, but they don't notice that is because of all the trash they throw. If they want to see a pretty ocean they have to start being more clean and throwing the trash were it belongs.
This picture shows a man doing exercise in a park with many trees and green grass. This is a healthy man that decided to do exercise every morning not only for his own good, also because he realized that the park looks much better in the morning with all the light of the sun. He thought that is much better to go running outside and admire all the nature around him than staying home in his working machine. We all have to think like this man, not only to do exercise but to admire all the nature we have in our surroundings.

fear
I was waiting for the bus, it was about two am, it was lonely, cold, you could only hear the train, no one else but me. Then I listen a huge scream, I was so scared that i started running away from the station, but then i see it, a man trying to get advantage of a lady. I was so scared, I could hear the woman asking for help but what could I do?
Since that day I was in shock, nightmares all night long, no other image, I couldn't take the woman's face out of my mind, not even the devil man's face. I hate him so much.. I constantly ask my self what happen to her, is she ok? the police caught the pervert?, it was too much for me. I didn't even took the bus since then.
Days passed, my mom tried any kind of therapy to animate me, I was so in shock, I blamed my self because I didnt help her, what if that woman was me, what if she die and i did not do anything to stop it. The news was full of violations no good news not nothing, I hate life!
that was my phrase.
I didnt got near any boy I was so mad with them, i was acting femminist and generalizing all man as the same and I didnt like to spend time with my friends, not anymore. Until one day as i was watching the news I saw the woman on tv! the same of the station! she was saying her bad event, and that we do not need to be afraid we need to denounce, and she did it and his agressor was caught.
She said that she had a campaign for this kinds of events and that with this experience she learn to valorate life, becuase she said she hated it before, I was so motivated by her, that i think this whole experience was for me to be aware but also to love life and know that a good and bad would always exist.

How to make a good impression in a date
Brainstorm
-favorite food -optimism
-kiss - outfit
-hug -interested
-look in eyes
-jokes
- fun
The first thing you need to do is to prepared his or her favorite food, ask it very discretfully, and do it, then you need to agree in everything show what a nice person you are, anything they want to hear as if you were the funniest person in the world. Always act as proper as possible without exaggerations, say a joke once in a while and say a compliment ocasionally.
Put an ocasional but pretty outfit for the ocassion, something that says you are interested but not so much, take him or her to something simple, do not take them to your house the first date they will feel pressure. Something like a park, for an ice cream or movies.
Other tricks are playing with the hand or the hair, show that you put attention and you like being with them, say something like " i am having a great moment" then change the conversation quickly.
When it is time to say good bye, give a kiss and hug for about one minute and look right into the eyes. then go and do not talk until yhe next day so he or she will miss you, This always work. To have a good empression you need to follow this tips.
Time to let go
She is Emma, she was happy with her life, she was beautiful, she had family, friends, and a boyfriend that loved her, she had everything that she needed to have a good life, but most important of all, she had somethin that she was good at, something that she loved, and something that she could do and recieve money, she had an extraordinary quality, she was a great photographer.
She was happy with her life, but she really wish to go higher in his career, she wanted to make harder and magnifiscent photos, but there was something that stoped her, the love she felt to her boyfriend. She really loved him and he didn't want to go and left him there, that was why she didn't realized her professional dream. One day Emma and her boyfriend went out on a date, like they used to do every weekend, but this wasn't like every date, her boyfriend was wird, serious and he never used to be like that, Emma got nervous because of her boyfriend's attitude so she asked what was wrong, and he started to talk, at the end the only thing Emma could remember was her boyfriend telling her that he didn't want to continue with their relñationship. Emma felt like all her world was falling over her, and she couldn't handle it.
After 4 years dating the only thing she loved more than her boyfriend was photograph, so she decided to go on a date with her camera. Just Emma, her camera, and a whole world of moments just waiting to be captured. That day she took a lot of photos, really good all of them, but there was one that totally change her, it was a girl letting her balloon fly away, and Emma got a meaning of it, she decided to name that picture "Time to let go" and that was she decided to do. She realized that it was time to let go, and now that there was nothing to stop her, she would go to the trip around the world that se had always dream about.
At the next day she took a few of her clothes, and her camera, she say goodbye only to her parents and to Mario, her best friend, and just go. She didn't have a destiny, but she new that it was her fate, that she was born to live that trip, and wherever she go, she would find places and moments to capture and show to the world. She visit places that she could never imagine, she took photos that she could never think it was possible o do, and she lived experiences that would let permanent knowledge to her, but she wasn't satisfied, she wantes to took more and more photos. And she did, she spent 2 years of her life just traveling and taking pictures, but one day she felt like if that wasn't her place anymore, so she decided to go back home.
She went back, ready to show the world what she've done, but she didn't want to see her ex, because even it have been 2 years ago, she could never stop thinking about him. And the first person that she looked went she got home was him. She got nervous but at the same time she felt hapy, like if even after all the things that she have been through, what she was been expecting all of her life was exactly that moment. They began to talk and talk. Night fell and they were still talking. Emma asked him why he had broke up with her. He looked at her in a way that Emma had never seen, neither in his multiple photos and he said, with tears in his eyes: because I wanted you to live your dreams. And if you really love, you have to let go.
when everything is wrong..
I woke up crying almost like every day since different events happen. Some days you just feel that everything is wrong, the way that the things are just doesn't seem fair. Why some people have much more than what they deserve, or for example why the kids that live in Africa die like every second, or why he have more than me, this last sentence its kind of superficial but it's true, and that is just the way i feel right now. Every thing is so mess up, i don't know how to fix it.
Today is Saturday, and when i woke up i just run from my home to the place I suppose to be, i just run and run, until i felt that it was time to stop, i felt that that was the place where my peace would be silent. The serenity, everything was calm then i discovered that that wasn't the place so i keep running, until i couldn't handle it so i cried and i started to think about the last days. Everything started on Friday but 2 weeks ago, i went to a party and i met a boy, he was cute, handsome, and everything i ever wanted, so we started to drink, and everything happen so fast that i couldn't even remember, why i was on a hotel room just with my clothes on the floor, i was 17 well i am, but its so hard.
The same day i went to my home my dad was so angry that he hit me but he wasn't angry because i slept on another place just because i refuse to buy him beer. He is my father and he suppose to act like that. He is a drug adict, and my mom left us when i was 5 years so i grow up in a ugly environment. I went upstairs and then i thought who was my mysterious guy, when i would meet him. A week after that i discovered i was pregnant.
The first thing wrong in my life was my family, then my education, now i am pregnant of a guy that i don't even know. So what is wrong with me. This thought was on my mind all the road, my father just suicide when i told him i was pregnant 5 hours before he was dead, everything was hard, i couldn't handle it , so i just saw the beach and every single thought of hurting myself was on my head, the tears were falling from my eyes to my cheeks until the floor, then i look down and i sat on the beach, the place that my run guide me to.
i looked to the sky, the beach, and i discovered that just the way we come to world alone we said good bye. every single piece of my life felt down with every single tear, my teardrops form a figure that i couldnt even distinguished, i started to walk to the sea. i was walking with nothing more that my soul, and end it with nothin more that my life...

Lifes can change in a minute....
My name is Sam. I live in Laguna Beach. I used to be the happiest person here and in all the entire world. I had everything a girl of 17 years could wish, I have two brothers that were my friends too, older than me, I had my parents that love me, I had my friends and my handsome boyfriend. But, something happen. I knew that lifes can change in a minute, and I am going to tell you that minute in my life.
It was summer, and summer in Laguna Beach is the best thing ever. I use to hang out with my brothers, one of my same age, it was my twin, and the other of one year older. I knew all of their friends. My boyfriend was one of them. It was June and I was punished because my mom see me with a cigarrete, but I don't care, I just want to go out. That was all my life: PARTIES.
I told my brothers if they can cover me, they say no, but I insist a lot, like one hour so they have to say yes. We arrive to the party, it was a little bit far from home. I have a fight with my boyfriend so I start to drink a lot till I get drunk. My brothers see me. It was like one a.m. and they took me to the car and start driving home.
I was drunk so I start singing and dancing inside the car. I distract my older brother, the one that was driving, and he pass a red light. That was terrible, we crash. I don't remember too much, it happen a year ago, but because of that, today my twin is not here and I miss him too much.
Everyday since that day I am here in my room, thinking what would happen if that day I stay at home, if that day I don't fight with my boyfriend, if that day I don't get drunk. Everyday is the same.
It was my fault, but is time to let it go and try to start a new life in the beach, in Laguna Beach. Is time to discover a new world.
It was my fault, but is time to let it go and try to start a new life in the beach, in Laguna Beach. Is time to discover a new world.By: Flora Esobar

How to have a good relationship with your boyfriend
brainstorming:
love
friends
family
time
important dates
jelous
trust
essay:
If you have boyfriend you should know all the things that you need to have the perfect relationship, but PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS DO NOT EXIST, we have to try to have the better. To have a good relation you have to have a lot of things with your boyfriend, first of all I think that the most important thing is love. When in the relation there is no love, is like having only the name of "boyfriend" and "girlfriend".
Another thing that has to do a lot with your boyfriend is to trust in him, happen whatever could happen, you have to believe in him, not in what other people could tell you. So that you don't fight with your boyfriend you must have time for him and also for not having problems with your friends you should also have time for them. It would be perfect that both have the same friends, because you can be with both.
To have a good relation is also important that your boyfriend or girlfriend have a good relationship with your parents, that was important for me when I used to have boyfriend. Your parents should trust in him, and should love him too because it is the person that makes you happy.
In conclusion, I think that having a good relationship with that important person involves a lot of things, but it is all on you, on how much you love that person and how you demostrate it. A thing that used to be very important for me was important dates, like the first month, the year, the first kiss, that special place and valentine's day. This is all for me.

How to make a good impression on a first date.
Brainstorming:
* attitude
* first impression
* image
* friends
* boyfriend/girlfriend
* job
* self-security
* stigma
Essay:
Causing a good impression on a first date is very important all along life, first of all because the impression you cause on a first date is going to decide if there's gonna be a second one. The first impression is what they think first of you, and if they've got a wrong first impression of you it can be very conflctive, because they think that you are one way and in reality you are another. To make a good impression on a first date is easy when you follow these steps.
First of all, no matter if the date is professional or personal, you have to dress neatly and cleanly it is very important how you look in the first date, another very important aspect on a first date is punctuality, when you arrive at time to a date you demonstrate that you really care about that person or that job. From then on, if it is a professional date you must say how pleased you are that they call you for that job, and say how interested you are in working there. If you're a man and you're having a date with your girlfriend there's no better way to cause a good impression than being a gentlman and treat her nice.
During the date you must sit straight, showing formality, but don't sit rigid because that will only show nervousness or discomfort, as the same as if you are playing with your hands or with any other object. Every time that the other person speaks you must pay attention, because everyone feels good when he is being heard and it also demonstrates respect to the other person. If it is a dinner NEVER speak with your mouth full of food, that causes a very bad impression and is very nasty, eat slow and property. Finally, just be yourself, don't pretend being someone that you are not, because at the end it will only get harder.
As you can see causing a good impression is very important and easy all you have to do is follow these steps, eventhough you don't need a procedure to cause a good impression, just act property and mos important of all, as the las step says, BE YOURSLEF !

slumdog millionare
8- The game show format brings into focus the culture of meaningless competition. What does the spectacle of the game say about what people value today? What values does media promote?
are they humanizing values?
answer-
a) I understand like this: People was getting excited that Jamal was winning because they don't consider themselves inteligent, maybe because of poverty or what ever so the value of people was minimum. The anchorman even think Jamal was cheating because no one expect smart people in those places.
b) if we are talking about the game show of the movie the values they show are antivalues, frauds, rudeness, egoism, I mean it is a really cool way to pay to smart people, but it show the fraud of wanting to make jamal loose.
c) In part yes and no, No because they way they took Jamal to the police station, like an animal they treat him. And yes because eventhough they were trying to make him loose, he won and they will give him the money.
12-The chaos and the constant noise and motion of Mumbai at the center of the film.( supported by a fabulous soundtrack) are contrasted with a deeper silent seeking, Describe what each of the main characters is seeking.
Salim- he is totally seekiing for money , wellness but at the same time protection
Jamal- For his love Latika
Latika- peace, not rebeling but at the same time to answer back for jamal
are they humanizing values?

Slumdog millionaire
14 This film weaves together nightmare and impossible dream. What do you take away as the most important message or impression from the film?
I think that the main message of the movie is to make people understand that sometimes the people that have lived a harder life, at the end with their own experiences in trying to have a better life are the ones that know more, because of all the things that they have been through.
11 Describe how loss, chance, luck, suffering, and street smarts are also characters behind the scenes. The film explores gain and loss side by side. Triumphs are tempered with loss. Where do you see this evident?
All the film was about luck, chance, etc because we see it along Jamal's game and life.
I think we saw that trimphs are tempered with losts because almost every right question that Jamal gave was about a bad experience in his life.

Slumgod Millionarie
9. Greed, corruption and the misuse of power are highlighted in the film through a variety of characters. How are those who have money and power glamorized in this film? What happens to the victims?
a: at the movie the people that have too much take advantages of the ones of poor life like the child that have the eyes burned.
13. In the final scene, we see Salim and the choice he makes - filling the bathtub with money, etc. Why does he make this choice?
a: Salim knew that if you kill the boss that it was going to die too, but that does not care because he had been very bad and had already done everything that I had to make in your life, and his brother had money and was happy.

Slumdog Millionare
7. In one exchange of dialogue in the film during the interrogation of Jamal, the police inspectors discuss the impossibility of what Jamal knows.
Police Inspector: Doctors... Lawyers... never get past 60 thousand rupees. He's on 6 million. [pause]
Police Inspector: What can our slumdog possibly know?
Jamal Malik: [quietly] The answers.
Discuss the irony in the film that Jamal “knows too much” and is suspected of cheating. Discuss the irony that in the end, his poverty may make him rich. What point is the film making? What is real wealth?
I think that Jamal knows too much because he is poor, and because he is poor he knows a lot of things that other people can't know, because of his way of life. Cause he has to fight for what he wants and that makes him know more and more things. The point of this film for me is that we know more things through experiences or personal things that we learn seeing, not reading or studying.
10. In one pivotal scene, the show’s host tells Jamal his own story about coming from the slums. He then gives Jamal the wrong answer written on the mirror in the rest room. Why did he give Jamal the wrong answer? What did Jamal do?
He gave Jamal the wrong answer because he was the person more rich and famous and he don't want another person to become like him and take his place. Jamal is very inteligent and he thinks about that and that is why makes the other choice.

4. Compare and contrast three pivotal choices or decisions made by Jamal and Salim. How do their choices affect their respective paths in life or “destinies”?
-Jamal was more intelligent than Salim
-Salim make anything for money
-Jamal looked for love
this choices let them knew that money is not that important as the thought.
5. Is ethical decision making possible when one must make choices based on survival?
i think that yes because is the first thing that you think is correct.
Do seemingly “bad” choices make a person bad?
no, because even if it looks bad maybe the person didn't want it to look like that and that may be a good person.
6. What do you think the film is saying about the globalization of culture through media?
i think that it is just letting others now about that culture.
We see the game show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” adapted in the Indian culture. Is this a sign of progress? Why or why not?
yes, because that shows that persons really want to change.
What is this film staying about the effect of money on culture?
that some people are very obsesionated with money that they would do anything to have it.
