The final blog

Hi class! This week's topic is our experience with writing blogs so let's start it (:
For most of the blogs, I had a lot of fun writing about our favorite things because it was very easy to talk about something that we know and like so much, but I didn't enjoyed it very much another ones with topics not so interesting for me, although it was a great experience in general that helped me to improve my writing skills and grammar. I also expanded my knowledge about different vocabulary that I didn't know before and I learned to use many words that I used to write in a wrong way.

I couldn't tell what topic I liked the most because there were a lot of ones, but I love to write about songs, books and movies, for me, these themes were the best of all and the most entertaining.

Another thing that I could tell is that in general blog is an activity easy to do, I consider it a help to get good marks instead of ruining it so I would keep it like the way it is because I don't really have something important to complain about (maybe some topics that were too boring)

In the future I would like to write about our favorite genre of music in specific or our favorite band/singer, that would be great.

Have a good day and regards to everyone!

My favorite TV show

Hi everyone, the topic of this week is my favorite TV show and in my case is The Big Bang Theory.
I have many series that I like and thousands of anime series I really love but I wanted to choose this one because it's the sitcom I like the most.
The Big Bang Theory is an american sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady and emited for the first time in 2007.
The show is centered in the five principal characters: Sheldon Cooper, Leonard Hofstadter, Howard Wollowitz, Raj Koothrappali and Penny. The comical side of this is the geekiness in the first four and the difference of their lives compared to Penny's, who has social skills and common sense that neither of them have.
Later on the show, Bernadette Rostenkowski and Amy Farrah Fowler joined to the original cast as Howard's wife and Sheldon's girlfriend respectively. Till now the show has 7 seasons and an upcoming one, planning to continue it until 2016 or 2017.
I really loved this TV show since the first time I watched it. The story is very funny and I never get bored while watching it, in fact it's all the opposite, I can't stop laughing during every episode. My favorite character is Sheldon Cooper, he's all so geek and physicist enthusiast until the point of obssession that you can't help laughing at him, besides Jim Parsons, the actor who plays Sheldon, is very talented and personifys very well his character.
Unfortunaley, I haven't watched it in a long time because of university.
I hope you are alright and see you next time. Regards!

My Favorite Book

Hi class! Today I'm going to describe my favorite book which is "The Book Thief" by the australian author Markus Zusak.
Basically, this story is about a girl named Liesel Memimger who has to go to live with another family that isn't her because her mother coudn't take care of her properly. She goes to live with Hans Huberman and Rosa Huberman in the context of a Germany in World War II.
Liesel is going to pass through so many things along the story and the most important of all of them is that she's going to meet a jewish escaping from Holocaust and her family is going to help keeping him hidden in the house's basement.
The book develops the relationship between Liesel in the jewish guy, Max Vanderburg which is going to create a new whole vision of life that is imposible to not feel touched by it.
I've never cried so much with a book like I did with this one. It's incredibly beautifully written, it has a very special and particular narrator that must to be discovered by the reader. Well, it has so many things that I like that it's very difficult to say all of them, but one of my favorite parts definitely is one moment so simple yet so ironic. In a specific part of the book, Rudy Steiner (Liesel's best friend) covers his face with coal to look like Jesse Owens, a black olympian athlete that he admired. The funny thing was that Rudy was the ideal german kid with blond hair and blue eyes, but he wished to look like a black guy who was despised by the nazis and Hitler and considered unhuman.
It has so many good things and the final is tragically beautiful. Totally recommended :)
Regards!
