Writing

Think of a profession that is dying out, for example a shepherd or a farmer. Write a dialogue with one of the last shepherd/ farmers in your country. Talk about their way of life now and before.

To find a farmer and speak with him I went to a village where I lived some years ago: Fortià. The name of the farmer is Pere:

D: Hello Pere!
P: Hi.
D: Do you remember me? I’m Daniel.
P: Yes, of course! How are you?
D: Fine. Well, I’d like to speak with you about your job. It’s for a project for the school!
P: Okay.
D: I want to know what you have to do if you want to become a farmer.
P: It depends. There are different types of farmers: the farmers that cultivate wheat and other farmers like me who take care of animals…
D: And what animals have you got?
P: Now I have cows.
P: Well the most important thing is to feed the cows, of course. Also we have to clean the cows and the place, they are very dirty, boy! And the most important, we have to milk the cows!
D: Yes, this is an important part. The profit of the cows is the milk that you sell, isn’t it?
P: Yes! But it isn’t very easy. When we have the milk we have to go to the cooperative of the region. Here there are other farmers that sell their milk. Then the cooperative sells all the milk and after words they distribute the profit depending on the quantity of the milk that you put. It’s relative. Do you understand?
D: Yes, yes. But I’m thinking that if you don’t have a lot of milk, you won’t earn a lot of money… am I right?
P: Yes, it is one of the problems of this job… but I like it!
D: I know! And do you think that now it is better than some years ago?
P: It’s different. The advantage is that now there are new technologies and machines that make the work easier.
D: And before you milked the cows with your hands, right?
P: Yes, times change.
D: And do you think that before there were more farmers than now?
P: Yes, before an important percentage of the population was devoted to farming. Nowadays there are very few farmers. Moreover these farmers are old, like me.
D: So the job is dying out, isn’t it?
P: Yes, it’s a pity.
D: Why?
P: Because it isn’t only a job, it’s a style of a life…
D: Yes, it’s true. Well, I think that we’ve finished!
P: Okay. You could come again!
D: I will try. Thanks!
P: You are welcome.
D: Good bye.
P: Bye!

The film: Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban

Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban is the third film and book of the collection. In the film the most important is that it shows the emotions of Harry, and the principal characte not is Lord Voldemort, like the other films. Now, principally it shows the friends and the family of Harry Potter, as Sirius Black, is a family, and James Potter who finally will be the evil of the film. Also, Harry discovers secrets of his friends of childhood

I think that see this film and all the films of Harry Potter is interesting for the fantasy and the intrigue.

Guantánamo

The Pentagon is working on a plan to close the Guantánamo center. The plan would be available to President-elect Barack Obama after of 20 January, that he takes the office.
Closing the prison would mean for national renewal and it would help stop the bad side of fame.
