Living on a prayer - Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi - Living on a prayer (Live in Chile 2010)

To begin with, I don’t remember exactly when I heard it. However, I remember that I heard it on the radio, but very far. In that moment, I only heard the rhythm and I fall in love it immediate. The problem in that moment was I didn’t know who was singing or which group was, or had heard the lyrics for searching it. I felt bad and frustrated too because always have the same problem with music o song I like. After some days, I heard again :) and knew who sang the song. Bon jovi! In that moment I couldn’t believe. Immediate I searched the lyric and download it too. Nowadays, I la-la-la all the time.


Lyric:

Once upon a time
Not so long ago

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love

She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer

Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough

Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby it's okay, someday

We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

Chorus

We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

Chorus

Ancient giant penguin unearthed in Peru

Scientists have discovered the fossil of a giant that lived 36 million years ago in Peru. For me, it is very surprising how a fossil you can get information during a long period of time, such as showing features of the plumage. This bird, named paracasensis Inkayacu, had a long, straight beak, much longer than its modern relatives. In addition, the colour of penguin feathers reddish brown and grey to black-and-white today. Moreover, if the penguins are so heavy, they can submerge deeper.

Pride and prejudice - Jane Austen - 823 A933. P c.1

To begin with, price and prejudice is situated in a reality in England in the early 19th century. The story was based a particular situation of the Bennet family. This family was composed with both parents and their five daughters (Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, and Catherine and Lydia). They did not have a good economic situation, for this reason, Mrs. Benner wanted to find husbands for her daughters quickly.
One of the main characters is Elizabeth; she is the second of five daughters of Mr Bennet, and preferred by her father for her intelligence and vivacity, qualities that made her the least to her mother. Charles Bingley arrived to the region; he was young, single and well-off who immediately all the ladies put on the look in him, especially Mrs Bennet. In a dance there was an opportunity to meet Bingley, who had attended with the company of his two sisters, his brother and a friend, Fitzwilliam Darcy. Bingley showed his good manners and danced with Jane, a beautiful girl, sensitive and good heart, who felt an immediate attraction. On the contrary, Darcy disillusioned everybody was there with his proud character, in spite of being much man than the first and more attractive. He did not want to take part in this dance, so Bingley was offered to dance with Elizabeth, who looked down on her for not being pretty enough. Elizabeth was not angry, however, she could have a first image unpleasant man.
Nevertheless, the next opportunities they could meet better, Elizabeth caused a pleasant impression in Darcy wit his simple and playful. So went the story in which Jane Austen, in a sense light and fun, described the story of how the two young came to know well in different meeting, in which to accept, Darcy must overcome their pride and arrogance, and Elizabeth change the prejudice that had made him.

Chilean people

To begin with, some people consider that the original Chilean tribes have all but died out, and those that are left tend to be treated like second class citizens, why? Why do they live out of the city? If people live inside or out of the city in the same country, they remain the same nationality. So, why some people, especially people live in the city, discriminate against people live out the city? For their customs or traditions, for their features, for don’t have the same opportunities, and so on. People should be more humble and accepting them like they are, and trying to learn them too maybe can help to improve their lives and styles of life.
On the other hand, I consider identifying with them above all when I dance in my folklore group. In my group, we see different styles dances and customs and we try to do the same than them such as wearing their clothes or typical steps. Therefore, I consider identifying with them and I try doing my best.
In my opinion, “Chilean culture” means for me like traditions and customs that only Chileans people do such as flying a kite or the dance festival of La Tirana among other things. However, there are a lot of customs that Chilean people copy to other countries to name a few Halloween or Merry Christmas; nowadays are parts of our own customs.

"Jane Eyre" - Charlotte Bronte - 823 B869.E c.1

The title is related with the story because this book tells us about woman's life, considering her childhood until her marriage. The main character, Jane Eyre, is an orphan because her parents died when she was 10 years old. In the book, we can see different places where the story is developed, to name a few Gateshead or Lowood School.
To begin with, Gateshead was the place where she was living her uncle’s family when she was a child and her parents died. In this place, she did not receive a good deal. Jane’s aunt, Sarah Reed, sent her at Lowood School, where Mr. Brocklehurst, who runs the school, shames her in the front of assembly. Some years after, Jane has become a teacher and advertises her services as a governess, and to obtain a job in Thornfield Hall. Here, she found her real love.
On the other hand, the writer tries to prove us and valuing the value of our own life. The writer shows us and he wants emphasizing the values such as moral value or love value, among other things. In the first case, she was conscious that it is not correct to get married with someone had not finished his first marriage. In the second case, there are a lot of example of love and lack of love too, as in the relationship between Jane and Mrs. Reed.
In my personal opinion, the main lesson of the story is “never ever give up”. In the book, Jane Eyre was always fighting against the problems was around in her life, and she could get ahead. In my case, everyday I am fighting for arriving at the level that this University hopes to relative to me.

"Juventud en éxtasis" - Carlos Cuauhtémoc Sánchez - M 863 S211 je c.1

Juventud en extasis, shows the readers topics related to engagement and premarital sex, providing young people means to say no to the peer pressures and to make the best decisions in their intimate relationships.
To begin with, this book has connection with our reality because nowadays teenagers have more sex than before. Young people only think to enjoy the moment; however, a little percent of them know the consequences that they can have such as getting venereal infections, sexual illnesses or even getting pregmant.
The main character, Efrén Alveal, always looked for sexual satisfaction and therefore he always established relationships through sex. He got used to fool girls in order to have sex with them. Nevertheless, in his last sexual relation, he didn’t feel good. In that moment, he started to read and inquiring about some consequence that could happen after the sex. In my personal opinion, people have to be informed before having sex and to know the risks that they are going under. I believe people in general need to be cautious in this matter.
In addition, young people aren’t the only ones responsible for this; it depends largely on parents and schools too. In the book, Efrén’s mother worked all day and didn’t see him nor took care of him. Efrén grew alone and never received sexual education. In my case, I remembered that my school had never given me some information about that. In my parent’s case, they had said to me “take care of you!”. I knew about this topic thank to my friends and some articles I read on the Internet. It is very important to have confidence with parents because they are our pillars in our lives.
On the other hand, the book deals with abortion. In my view, people are free and it is their option to have sex whenever, wherever and with whoever. Nonetheless, if they have sex and if the woman gets pregnant, they will have to be a responsible couple and taking charge of their children.

Personality

To begin with, I don’t consider wild CAT person. I mean, some women are called “kitten”, but in my case, I’m only Yaela. People really know me know that. However, I agree with the test because I found it accurate with myself. I don’t consider all things the test is the truth. For example, “you love felling the sea breeze in your hair, sun on your skin”; maybe I like to feel that breeze, but I don’t like receive sun on my skin. In that case, I prefer to look after my body and skin too.
I found this test fun and interesting too because you could find different options. For this reason, for me was complicated to choose some one because there were a lot of things I liked and I didn’t know which select.
Maybe the answer showed me possible situations I would like to live some day. Besides, it expressed some moments and places I had lived with my friends and other people near to me.
On the other hand, this test isn’t seeing all the potential in me because there were a few and general questions. Perhaps, for getting specific answer, they should add more questions and other options too. For instance, the question “my kind of drink” I chose natural juice, but in the same question I saw the similar picture with natural orange juice. So what is the difference? For me is the same.
