Corrections the last blog post of the classmate below

Yesterday I was watching TV when a story appears (T) about censorship of art, denoting exhibitions that have taken place in times of "democracy" (in 1990) These have been highly controversial because they have exposed from fetuses (replicas) photographs of dead babies replicating what was the popular tradition "el velorio del angelito" with current prospects and, of course, plays focused on homosexuality, dictatorship, genocide, among others.

In this sense, the reporter was says that until the end of (V) dictatorship there was a state agency called "tribunal calificador", who check the movies, expositions (WW) and plays arrived or presents in Chile and defined what yes and what no, even

become to prohibit the (WF) "The Last Temptation of Christ" movie in Chile (P) based in the moral and good customs of the society, i.e. (?) the catholic and cristians (S) values of the correct, not sinful and and (WF)  that wasn’t a moral failure wing (WE).

In diagnostic mode, since (V) colonization and domination from the XVII and XVIII centuries in Latin America there have been various control mechanisms in political, ideological and social terms, denoting certain ways of relating to an "other", certain public policies and certain forms control of identity /cultural aspects of the "other” for dominate.

In this context the art, since much time, has been used as the most expressive forms of identity from all cultural groups, and also, (V) gestated as one of the areas where the cultural control is consolidated. Situations like I described in the beginning have been generated through processes of cultural domination exercised not only in times of dictatorship (70’ or 80’) where political censorship was apprehensive, but since the early domination as an aspect to define, monitor and take from one class over another through their essential: the identity.

In this (WF) therms (WW), the fight also run to this way: the fight for our identity.

Cinco panes y dos peces

Hi classmates and teacher, today, in this blog I will talk about the book that I am reading at the moment, it is when I have free time.

The name of the book is “Cinco panes y dos peces”. His principal objective is show the experience of a catholic bishop that was prisoner in a Vietnamese camp. This bishop is called François Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan.

I am not sure which genre it is, but I think that belong to the novel, because the author –that who is the same bishop- narrate the history as a novel. He divides the storyline of the book in seven parts. 

First he talks about the five breads, in each one he tell the moments since that he was taken prisoner until that he was released.  In this part he remembers many people, persons important in his life. Finality he tells about the two fishes, in this moment he speaks of the products before of this experience.

Is a short book, is very simple, but for me is very interesting because in the book not only shows an experience from a religious perspective, also from the human experience, it shows us a reset mechanism to intense trauma.

I think the experience of imprisonment and torture is one of those experiences that certainly more brand to the humans. For me it is a great mystery, how they manage to recover from this.

I want have more time for reading this story with more dedication!

Exercises in English

In this post I am going to write about my performance in different English tests about three areas: reading, listening and vocabulary.

I started for reading, and then I did make three exercises. It was very easy, even I didn’t make a mistake.

Before I followed for listening, in this part was very difficult. In reality here I had a low score.

Finality I did the part of vocabulary, I can said that this area it was medium difficult, because sometime I had problem for I understand some word, but in general I know this word.

I think that I have that practice more in listening, because I never I listening music, movies, videos, etc. in English. This is a weakness for me.
