Day One

I stole a pen from Capitain Schneider and broke a piece of my clothes to write. I'm in hell. Today my left hand was broken with a hammer. My only hope is that I die while sleeping, that would be a miracle. I wont say anything, to them, I need to be strong. We ate some grey stuff, that tastes horrible and drink from mud.
If you ever find this piece of cloth, don't feel sorry, I don't want to be saved, they know me already.

Political Prisoner Diary

In our English class we are working on a journal about a political prisoner. My character is a North American spy, from 1942 (Second World War) who was caught by the GESTAPO (the German police). His name is Blake Rink. 34 years old, 14 being a spy and 3 spying on Nazis. When he was trapped, he was taken to a military base so the Germans could interrogate him. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't know German, so he doesn't understand anything they are planning to do to him. He starts to write about his feelings and activities during the day in every place he can find. He also narrates what the Germans do to him and what are they trying to make him say. Enjoy it!

Form 4 ofrenda

Last week, in our school we made an ofrendas contest. In my group we chose to do it about George Orwell (thw writer of Animal Farm and 1984), we all work real hard; even in our free times (after school or breaks) we worked. The day of the competition everything was perfect, we were all like a union, Ian, our tutor, was very excited. Although we didn’t win we all have a great time while planning and building it.

"The Outsiders"

Last year we read a book called “The Outsiders”, is written by C.E. Hinton and after reading it, it became my favourite book. When I saw the movie (it isn’t so known, I don’t know why, because it has good actors and was directed by Francis Ford Coppola (the director of: “The Godfather”)) and I realised that it isn’t as good as the book is, but I guess that there’s no movie better than their book.
I liked the novel so much that I asked my teacher to lend me the book for reading it once more and I liked it even more so I tried to buy it but I couldn’t find it any where. But I really recommend you to read the book or to watch the movie at least.
Here is a video with some photographs of the movie so you can see the actors.

Drug

I’m an addict
I know that.
I’m a Prisoner
I know that.

But how can I get rid of you?
If you are part of my blood,
Part of my body,
Part of me?

You chase me as a cat chases a mouse
You like to kill me
And I like it too.
You are my friend, that’s the only true.

You help me breath
You help my heart
You help me
To be alive.

You’re the nightmare
Of my sweetest dream.
I’m the bird
And you’re my cage.

You trap me with no chance.
You have been hunting me
As a hungry predator
Follows his pray.

My disease you have become
My joyfully death
My brightest darkness
My beloved pain.

I would like to escape.
I would like to run.
I would rather die
Than living with you

But isn’t that why
I’m with you?
To trade my life
For death?

I don’t know anything anymore,
I don’t know why
I don’t know how
But I only know

That I want to finish
The suffering of life.
My drug is pain
My antidote is death.

Where the heart is


“Where the heart is.”(2000)

Starring: Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, Stockard Channing, Joan Cusack, James Frain, Dylan Bruno and Keith David.
Director: Matt Williams
Running Time: 120 min.

Drama, Comedy, Romance.
***
If you want to be amazed for all the achievments that a human can reech with a little help from its friends, then you must watch this film; you can have many different emotions like hapiness, compasion and even courage for making your dreams come true.

Novalee Nation (Natalie Portman) is a 17 year-old girl who is pregnant and is going to Los Angeles with his boyfriend, Willie Jack (Dylan Bruno). On their way, they stop on a Wal-Mart and Willie Jack Leaves her at her own with only 5 dollars with 55 cents. Novalee, confused decides to stay and live inside Wall Mart at night and on the day go out. After two months of living there, on one night, she gives birth and becomes famous for being the “Wall Mart Mum”. The owner of the store offers the girl a job, and she meets an alcoholic woman called Thelma Husband (Stockard Channing) who offers Novalee to live on her house; so the young girl stays on town. Then she meets Lexie (Ashley Judd) and Forney (James Frain) and together solve all the problems that Novalee and her baby, Americus, had through years, proving that friendship is stronger than anything.

I like this movie a lot, Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd were born for those characters. The director made an excellent job by mixing the stroies and the message is clear. Although I think that some things need to be more clear, there are some parts that need an explanation, like the feelings that Novalee has through the story, you never now if she was in love with his boyfriend or when she was happy or sad. But after watching it the second time you'll completly like it.

I Like...

My favourite sports are Swimming and football soccer. I support the mexican football team: "Los Pumas" wich are in my opinion the best! I like to research about their history and about their football players who became leyends of football.
This is the official site of the team:

I also like to listen to music. My favourite band is The Beatles, (I'm sure you know them) because they were awsome, their songs are the best because they are (according to John Lennon) the best way to fight without violence or weapons, and the music is good. They were the most brilliant people working together. My favourite Beatle is Paul Mccartney (I talk in present because for me, all of them, even if they're dead, will be forever The Beatles).
