Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. Today we are going to talk about our favorite character.  Well, in my case I will talk about my favorite character of Peaky Blinders's series! His name is Thomas Shelby, but h is real name is Cillian Murphy.  Cillian Murphy is the same actor who plays in "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" and "Jimmy's Hall Review". We've seen it a lot. Much more than some classmates in English classes hahahah. "Tommy" is the leader of the Birmingham criminal gang Peaky Blinders and the patriarch of the Shelby Family. His experiences during and after the First World War have left him desillusioned and determined to move his family up in the world.  The serie is about criminals, weapons, horses and gangs! Despite being a criminal, Thomas takes care of his family. It's interesting to know these characters that have a good and a bad side. The people identify with them. Something similar happens with ...

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. Today I'm going to talk about a postgraduate course that I would consider taking in the future. First, in my case, I must finish my undergraduate course in Universidad de Chile: Journalism. Then I would like to do a literature course. I really like reading. My grandmother taught me how important reading is. I started reading only sports books, but now I'm a fan of novels and chronicles. The Polish reporter  Ryszard Kapuściński is one of my favorites. In any case, I want to study in Mexico. In Mexico City. After reading The Savage Detectives of the Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño  I decided to go there. That book made me crazy. Arturo Belano and Ulised Lima are two great characters. His love for poetry and his adventures are extraordinary. Bolaño also lived there for a while. In one of his books, he talked about his love for the city's sunset. Besides, I admire the Mexicans a lot. I lo...

Hi everybody! I hope you had a great weekend! Today I'm going to talk about my future job. Since I was a little boy, I used to play with a ball everyday. It was something that I really loved. That's why I decided to study journalism. I want to do something related to the sport. As time went by my fanaticism grew bigger, I just wanted to play and watch football all the time. In the summer, I worked on a radio. Radio ADN. It was a great experience. I went to the sports section. I met journalists with a lot of experience like Danilo Diaz, Juan Cristobal Guarello, Cristian Arcos, Rodrigo Hernandez, Victor Cruces, Diego Saez and anothers. But in that place, I can say that I didn’t really find the happiness that I was looking for. I want to dedicate myself to football every moment of the day. For this reason, once I finished my degree, I will take a course to became a football coach. Salary is important, but I think being happy is better. I don't know if in the future I will ...

Hi all! It's a pleasure for me read this post for you... I didn't like the movie. It was too long and boring. Also, it was similar to the one we saw last week. It seems that Ken Loach loves the Irish people because this movie is about the same as The Wind That Shakes the Barley. But is good that he made films about political and social conflicts. I prefer that before love movies or Disney movies hahahahah. My favorite character was Jimmy Gralton. He returned from the United States to help his family and his community. I liked his revolutionary spirit. He was not afraid to face against the Government and the Catholic Church. He was a social leader. I wish I could march next to him in the Alameda for a real public education for our country. My favorite scene was when Jimmy's mother pretended to lose the key for Jimmy's escape. He was brilliant and very intelligent. It made me laugh to see the cops coming out  trought the window. After watching the fil...

Hi everyone! Today I'm goint to talk about the movie "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" directed by Ken Loach, that is based about two brothers, who join the Irish Republican Army (IRA) to fight for Irish Independence from the United Kingdom. I think this film is interesting, but very sad and tragic too. Thanks to the film I knew the reality that lived in Ireland. I would like to know a country where there have been no wars. I noticed that the Irish were very Catholic. When they killed someone they crossed themselves. I didn't like the British army. I hate imperialism. The only good thing the English have is football, Manchester United and The Beatles. My favorites character are Sinear and Damien O´Donovan. They represented a real revolution spirit and fight for they ideal country.  I never imagined that one brother would end up killing the other. It was the saddest moment of the movie. My favorite scene whas when Tommy's firing squad kill...
