Hola Pedro!
Que tal? Espero que estés bien. Vivo en York en el norte de ingleterra. Hoy mucho que hacer en mi ciudad y me gustaria contarte lo que hago en mi tiempo libre.

Normalmente en mi tiempo libre prefiero salir con mis amigos. Generalmente vamos al cine. Me encanta el cine y pienso que las películas de terror son las majores. Son emocionantes y entrentendidos pero a veces son curiosos.

Mi pasíon por el cine empezó cuando teniá once anós. Ahora estor mirando una pelicula interesante de un director ruso que se llama Ruslan Afremov. Se dirigro ‘El Hombre Oscuro’ y es una película de misterio. El protagonist es un hombre desafortunado que vive in un pueblo en la Unión Sovíetica. Para empezar el hombre esta con su familia y amigos pero se mueren en un incendio.

En el future me gustaría ver mas películas sobre otros países porque quiero aprender cosas de otros culturas.

Recientamente leí una novella de un escritor frances. Fue un poco aburrido y su uso de lengua faltaba imagination y era monotóno. Era decepcionante y una pérdida de tiempo.

Otra actividad que me encanta es el deporte. Cuando vengas a mi casa iremos a al polideportivo y jugaremos al baloncesto y al futbol si te gustaría. Tambien me encantaría ir a un partido de futbol. El futbol es una de mis pasiones! Si fuera rica iría a un partido de futbol todas las días. El problema con el deporte es que las entradas cuestan mas mucho.
Adios,
Hasta luego!

Film

.... 7) “Write a critical study of a recent Spanish or Latin American film or play that you have seen, and that has made a social or political impact in the country in which you are living. You should bring into your study criticism and reviews, both from the press and, where possible, from academic sources, and…discuss the ways in which the film has been received and analysed, making comparisons with other films where appropriate.” Almodóvar ’s 2001, La piel que habito, received mixed reviews from Spanish critics, one favourably calling it an “irracionalidad transcendida” whereas Spanish film critic Carlos Boyero called it a “notable idiotez”. However, most critics agree that this film merits a second viewing in order to appreciate the rich texture of the film, in which a lonely and haunted plastic surgeon (Banderas) becomes dangerously entangled with his personal experiment, Vicente, or “Vera” (Anaya) whom he believed had assaulted his mentally ill daughter, provoking her suicide. The film is the director’s first exploration of science fiction, containing an amalgamation of themes concerning gender and sexuality identity, whilst at the same time exploring the prison house of the self. In this essay I will discuss the ways in which these main themes are manifested in the plot and cinematography, their effect and finally the way in which Spanish critics have received Almodóvar’s latest work. Entrapment, or, the prison house of the self, is the confinement that all...

...The usefulness of the term “auteur” has been questioned by some commentators as failing to acknowledge the complexity of the filmmaking process. With reference to one of the directors studied so far on the module, discuss the degree to which analysing his films through an auteurist perspective can help or hinder understanding. You should take into account the ways in which your chosen director uses the resources of cinema as a medium as well as the question of personal vision. Film director Pedro Almodóvar was symbol of Spain’s newfound freedom in the post-Franco democracy and has since developed into the dominant figure of contemporary Spanish cinema. Paul Smith (2000: 5) describes him as “the one true auteur to emerge in the 1980’s”, while many commentators see him as a “consummate and undisputed auteur” (Jordan and Allinson, 2005: 77). However, attempting to conclusively define Almodóvar as an “auteur” is challenging as the concept has been consistently defined and redefined since its inception. Vernon and Morris (1995: 13) state, “Models of auteurism at work today bear scant resemblance to the term’s original meaning”. Through an auteurist perspective, we must consider how both Almodóvar and his films conform to aspects of both the original ‘theory’, such as personal vision and ‘signatures’, and subsequent developments of the concept focusing on areas of collaboration and commercialisation. Our conclusions can then be used to determine whether Almodóvar’s status, as an...

Honduras

...Nicaragua. This country was once part of the Spanish empire and became an independent nation in 1821. It’s population consisted of seven percent of Mayan Indian descendants, ninety percent of Mestizos (indigenous Mayan mixed with Spanish and Europeans), along with 2 percent of blacks, and one percent of whites. Honduran terrain consist largely of a mountainous interior with coastal plains lining it lower perimeter. The official language is Spanish, yet dialects in Mayan and African do exist in various isolated regions. The citizens of Honduras live in mostly small rural areas in family units having the same neighbors for years. There are a few small metropolitan areas, the two largest being its capital, Tegucigalpa, and San Pedro Sula. The national religion is Roman Catholic, however, there is much credit given to its past culture infused with Mayan lore. Financially, Honduras is the second poorest nation in Central America and one of the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. It relies heavily on its agricultural exports, mostly of bananas and coffee. Most of its economic growth depends on the United States economy. There is a large divide in the small rich upper class and the rest of its residents which remain in poverty. Most of the decisions are made by the affluent ruling class, and based on personal opinion and emotions, not what may be best for the people at large. Good health care is available to those who can afford it. Outside of the large cities...

Critic / Analyze the Barangay Government Using the Observational Method

...It has been almost 19 years when my parents decided to buy a house in a subdivision in a barangay in San Pedro, Laguna. It is barangay Magsaysay, to be exact. It is considered as the 3rd out of 20 barangays in San Pedro with large population, according to our municipal’s website. I am not very much aware of its scheme of managing, or way of corresponding and communicating with the people inside the barangay but this is what I observed within the past few weeks. Our barangay is far from the town of San Pedro. You must ride a jeep (maybe within 20-30 minutes of trip) in order to get to the market, church and even hospitals. And I observed that our barangay has managed to provide such a mini-market, where you can buy daily food ingredients such as vegetables, meat, chicken and fish. We also have chapel inside of our subdivision, or even within the barangay, where we can attend mass on Sundays. There is a government public hospital next to our barangay, which is made to be so much accessible (to the people of our barangay) than hospitals in town. These means, even our barangay is far from the town, still our barangay still managed to provide the necessary needs of the people. I also observed that our barangay has a fire truck next to the barangay hall. It is a good thing, because I think not all of our barangays here in San Pedro has a fire truck. It creates tranquil feeling for the people because whenever there are emergencies, like unexpected fire created in a house, it will...

Brazilian Independence

...in a relatively peaceful manner compared to the independence movements of other Latin American countries during the same time period. New enlightenment principles had been sweeping across Latin America throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this and a growing sense of nationalism incited many countries to move towards independence. With the arrival of the Portuguese monarchy in Brazil, came these new ideas and more foreign influences. The fascination of the Brazilian elite with the French independence also incited ideas of autonomy in Brazil. After the Portuguese monarchy departed, As one of these countries, Brazil managed to gain independence from its mother country , Portugal, in 1822 with the help of its new emperor Dom Pedro I. With Napoleonic wars raging throughout Europe the emperor of Portugal, Dom Joao, attempted to stay neutral. However, the neutrality of Portugal proved hard to maintain when Napoleon established the "continental blockade" in 1806 (Martin 183). In 1807, Napoleon declared the Braganza dynasty's surrender of the throne and the division of Portugal between France and Spain (183). The news forced Dom Joao to make a decision, he and his entire court fled to Brazil with the help of British fleets in order to escape Napoleon's army. The royal family arrived in 1808 and established their rule in Rio de Janeiro at the heart of Brazil. Upon arrival, Dom Joao found a colony that was commercially and economically backwards compared to Portugal. One...

"Brazil's nineteenth-century experience, not only retained a monarchical form of government while every other independent country in Latin America became republic, but declared independence while keeping the Portuguese royal family on the throne." (Levine, xiv) Though Brazil was an exception because there was no war of independence but there was chaotic mess. One important leader who helped create the monarchy and guided the first emperors of Brazil went by the name of Jose Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva. Before he was considered one of the founding fathers in Brazil he was, “a Brazilian-born statesman and natural scientist” (Encyclopedia of World Biography) Bonifacio was in a well position in society because he went to school in São Paulo, Brazil then received his higher education in Portugal in the University of Coimbra.

San Pedro Sula

...San Pedro Sula (Spanish pronunciation: [sam ˈpeðɾo sula]) is a city in Honduras. The city is located in the northwest corner of the country, in the Valle de Sula (Sula Valley), about 60 kilometres (37 mi) south of Puerto Cortés on the Caribbean Sea. With an estimated population of 873,824 people in the main municipality, and 1,245,598 in its metro area (2010), it is the second largest city, after the capital Tegucigalpa. It is the capital of the Cortés Department. As of 2013 San Pedro Sula has the highest murder rate on Earth. Cathedral San Pedro Sula was founded on 27 June 1536, by Pedro de Alvarado under the name Villa de San Pedro de Puerto Caballos, close to the town of Choloma. There were around 18 towns populated by indigenous people in the Sula valley at the time. Early descriptions of the landscape indicate abundant swampland and dense tropical forests, with little land good for agriculture or cattle raising. The city's name became San Pedro Sula in the 18th century, after several changes. The "Sula" part of its name comes from the Minas de Sula, gold mines located to the west of the village of Naco. Panoramic view of Downtown San Pedro Sula For the first few years of its history, San Pedro was the colonial mint, where gold, found to the west in the Naco, Sula, and Quimistán valleys, had to be brought to smelt, and where the Spanish Crown collected a fifth of the value of the gold. The mint was moved toGracias, and ultimately to Comayagua in the 1550s. ...

That aspect led me to believe that I was destined for greatness in sales and communication. Some of my hobbies are playing basketball and helping foreigners to understand banking in Belize. I explain to them the different banking systems, whether onshore or offshore, and how both can help them depending on their retirement plan.

Transportation System

...Manila School of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management Applying Transportation Systems On San Pedro City, Laguna In Partial Requirements for SVM161 Submitted By: Andrada, Michael Sherwin Sillo, Jerome Submitted To: Prof. Elisier Fantillo Introduction History San Pedro became a town on January 18, 1725, when King Charles II of Spain decreed that the town formerly known as "Tabuko" be a separate town from "Kabullaw" (now known as the city of Cabuyao). By virtue of the last will of Philip V of Spain, Rodriguez de Figueroa or "Don Esteban", a group of Augustinian Fathers gained the ownership of the Tunasán Estate. Later on, San Pedro became an hacienda of Colegio de San José, a group of Jesuits friars who took over the property which now is known as "San Pedro Tunasán". "Tunasán" literally means "a place where there is Tunás" (Opuntia tuna), a medicinal plant abundant on shoreline area. During that period, agriculture, fishing, duck raising, fruit trees, sampaguita were the main source of income of its residents. This period was highlighted by the growing tenant/landlord dispute. The tenants of Hacienda San Pedro Tunasán fought for their birthrights over their ancestral lands. This struggle took almost 423 years of unsuccessful resistance to Colegio de San José, and in 1938, the government bought the homesites of the San Pedro Tunasán Hacienda from the Colegio for re-sale to its tenants. This event laid to rest the tenants/landlord...
