Veronika decide morir

B 869.3 C673v.E c.1

To begin with the book that I’ve read is called “Veronika decide morir” by Paulo Coelho. This book talks about the story of Veronika, a woman who decided to die. She really felt her life didn’t have sense, so, she tried to commit suicide. In my opinion the book is awesome due to it showed me the importance of our lives, and also with the story of Veronika I could see that life is constantly giving us different thing to live, but the problem is that we don’t see that things.
Firstly, I think that the book made me think about the importance that our lives have. Sometimes we feel that our life is boring or maybe we think that life is monotonous and tedious. Through the story of Veronika, I could realize that we, as human beings, make a lot of mistakes in our lives and when we are in troubles or when we don’t find any sense to our lives, we take wrong decisions that really can affect us.
Secondly, I’m totally convinced that life is always giving us different things and opportunities that we have to take advantage. The problem is that we don’t see them or maybe we are so negative people. Unfortunately, negativism is affecting our society badly. We do not want to live and we do not make anything for enjoying our lives. So it is important to know that we are the main character in our lives and we are the responsible of taking all the opportunities that are in front of us.
To conclude, I really recommend this book, because it is interesting and also we can learn something through the story. Besides, we can feel through the book different things such as, anger, love, regret, sadness, among other things.

Making changes

Before I saw the video about "how Mr. Condom made Thailand a better place", I realized the importance that small groups have in the world. We can see in television that groups of students in our country are fighting for Mapuche cause and i really think that if a person wants to give his opinion or a group want to express a point of view, we as a society can change our mind slowly.
The most important thing is being clear in our point of view; It means that we don't have to show 2 different faces depending on the place.

In relation with the video they planned to do something and then with effort, they could see the different consequences of their actions. They helped Thailand and they gave help to improve life quality in Thailand families.
This is a good example for us, we have to be constant in our thinking and fight for all the things we think are fair for our society. As the video showed us, we can make small groups, put different goals and transmit our view to other people.
Different ideas or different changes of life done in a good way can improve our society and at the same that it can create a better and fair society.
Future is in our hand!!!

Twenty-four :)

One of my favorite songs is “twenty – four” by Switchfoot. Actually, I don’t remember when the first time I heard it was, but the only thing that I know is that this song made me feel relaxed and at the same time it was easy to understand.
I can interpret this song, specially one part that says “Life is not what I thought it was, twenty four hours ago”. When I listen to this phrase I can think that it’s true, life is changing all the time, we are not the same people that we were yesterday or 12 hours ago. Every day we are living new things, meeting new people, thinking new things. So, with this song I can feel that I have to enjoy every single moment to the most.
I really recommend this song, and I hope you can listen to it 

Here is the link if you want to list to the song :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IcGme-MMtM

Twenty-four oceans
Twenty-four skies
Twenty-four failures
And twenty-four tries
Twenty-four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
With twenty-four drop outs
At the end of the day

Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit,
take me up in arms with You'
And I'm not who I thought I was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit,
take me up in arms with You'

There's twenty-four reasons
To admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses
Still twenty-four strong

See, I'm not copping out
Not copping out
Not copping out
When you're raising the dead in me

Oh, oh
I am the second man
Oh, oh
I am the second man now
Oh, I am the second man now
And you're raising these...

Twenty-four voices
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
In twenty-four parts
But I want to be one today
Centered and true
I'm singing 'Spirit take me up in arms with You'
You're raising the dead in me

Oh, oh
I am the second man
Oh, oh
I am the second man now
Oh
I am the second man now
And you're raising the dead in me
Yeah

I wanna see miracles
To see the world change
Wrestled the angel for more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing 'Spirit, take me up in arms with You'
And you're raising the dead in me

Twenty-four oceans
With twenty-four hearts
All of my symphonies
With twenty-four parts
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit,
take me up in arms with You'
I'm not copping out
Not copping out
