For this last blog I first want to thank Professor Angela and Professor Rachel for the classes they gave us, where I could learn more in losing the fear of speaking in English and improving day by day, to read in each class without fear in each Ethnography class, in helping me improve my English writing in my Research Essay in COMP II, for the future classes that I will have I will carry every learning I had in these classes, it has been a semester full of learning, for this last week we went out to Brayan Park and wrote down the observations we saw and also continue with…

This week on Monday we visited the Herbert Von King Park where I could observe a quiet landscape with the green and tall trees and the hot sun, hear the laughter of the children in coexistence and a tranquility while walking, we were asked to create a poem with what we observed. Nature A beautiful landscape A beautiful path to walk The big green trees transmitting happiness The green and shining grass The children playing, laughing and running A squirrel singing about his happiness A stone A branch A drop of water Everything, nature loves A song for this tree that has been providing protection for years The happy squirrel…

This week in Ethnography class we saw a movie called “5 Factories – Worker Control in Venezuela” basically it is about the control of workers who work in Venezuelan factories, they work in a union instead of being guided by individuals. The workers among them commented that the highest-ranking participants got much more money than them, the workers worked long hours and they were paid very little, they did not have health insurance, among other things. The capitalist system they had was only benefiting individuals and companies since they were the highest priority and not workers. In the Composition class we chose a symbol (object) and described it in different…

This week in English class we saw a movie called “How to survive the Plague” that deals with an era where in AIDS it was an epidemic that affected many people especially LGBTQ people and this community went out to protest for a more effective cure and more medicine and little by little this community was losing more and more people, after that we started investigating a genre to start our auto ethnography and in relation to the object of the ethnography class that mine is my goalkeeper gloves, it is an object that I have a lot of affection, with those gloves I was champion with my class and…

First in English class we started with a story that was about a haunted house, finishing the reading we discussed in class about the important points about the reading and what meanings there were since the way of expressing himself the author did it in a more different way, then we made a timeline of the most important points of our life and with that we will choose to write a moment of our lives in the genre that we want. For the ethnography class we started the class by telling what we did during the holidays, after that we watched a video about auto ethnography and finishing the video…

Visiting the park where I have lived many memories brought me nostalgia, it had been a while since I went and when I returned I remembered everything I have lived there, walking through the grass, having a great view of Manhattan and listening to the sound of the sea and the waves brings a lot of tranquility, what I like the most is playing soccer with friends, the park is small but very comfortable to relax and sit and read on a large rock while listening to the sound of the sea, the community always keeps the park clean and the park staff also takes very good care of the…

This week was quite interesting, the reading of “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe, caught my attention it was a very interesting reading and more the debate if it was correct that Montresor there killed Fortunato, although we do not know very well why he did it could be for some kind of revenge for some damage in the past, but we really do not know it but we do know that Montresor killed him in the cruelest way making him suffer until Fortunato died, as classes pass and we read more, in the same way I generate more confidence with myself to read and continue practicing my…

In English class this week we watched two poems which at first I was a little confused but after reading and reading I understood several points that have such as their identity, culture, and the way society sees them, then we made our own poem. Start one more day of training Friends arrive and we see the opportunity to improve ourselves That is really possible Caffeine, adrenaline muscles see us strange We only live day by day to improve ourselves Another opportunity to be better than yesterday What’s wrong with us? This is the limit of the three, this never Pride wins us and we carry more What’s the use…
