Writting A Letter

Dear Mathias,

I´m in Paris for vacations and I went to the Opera house because I find very interesting this stuff. Over there I heard a very interesting story about a ghost that lives in there and I want to tell it to you. Everything started when the manager of the Opera house came to talk to me before the show. His name was Moncharmin, but I´m not very sure. He told me that a few people that work in there have seen a man that looks like a skeleton, and wear a suit. In fact, also a fireman saw him and said that he had the head of a skeleton in fire. Also he said to me that the Opera scene shifter had seen him; his name was Joseph Buquet; but he was found dead hanging in a cellar, so everybody thinks that the ghost was the responsible of that “accident”.  For last, he told me that the ghost has appeared in Christine´s dressing room, because he pretended to make her only for him, but he left before he do anything with her. When he said me this I imagine him waiting the right moment to do it.

I enjoy hearing this kind of things, so I pretend to go to the Opera again to learn more about this story and make some research.

Regards and talk to you tomorrow,

Gregorio Salaberry

Stereotype Activity

Tattoos prejudice

 When you see this, you can`t believe it because for the simple reason that tattoos are prejudice.
For this exactly reason, the photo reflects that tattoos don`t create bad people or things like that, this only change your body, but not the feelings inside of you.

The idea of the photo is to demostrate with facts that people with tattoos is not necesarily a bad person, and that they also can love and be like us.

But not for all the people tattoos have the same meanings, for example the Maori tribe, that is located in New Zealand, they use tattos over the head, because is considered the most important part of the body. This serve as marks of high status, but also each tatto design is unique to the individual and conveys specific information about that person's social status, ancestry and skills.


Nowadays, some people make tatoos to remember the name of a person that you love or that you like to much, carrying with for all yor live in your skin.

 That's why tattoos are not only art and fashion, tattoos go beyong this; this is not a way to make draws on your skin, or to make you "more beauty", this is something that have a meaning important for some people, a real meaning.

 Is thanksgiving a religious celebration nowadays?

                              Does Santa Claus exist?                        Is Christmas a comercial day or a family day?

Is halloween a day to give candies or to make tricks?
Is this tradition the same as a long time ago?

Photo description 1

In the picture, there is a family in the foreground; and in the background there is a sidewalk with trees. They are on a sidewalk with trees, maybe in their country, that probably is USA. They are walking, maybe to school, because the children are holding bags. In this picture, there are two parents with their 6 kids, everybody with warm clothes and bags. It seems that the parents are 30 years old, and the kids are 7 years old. I think that the day is very cold, and maybe they are going to arrive to school. They look like normal people, with an economical stability. It seems that both parents are happy, but all the kids don´t express emotions in their faces.
The picture is related to customs and tradition, because for the most of the people, it is like a tradition to arrive the first day of school with your parents, who make you feel confortable and secure.

Tattoos

 Tattoos Go Beyong Art And Fashion; They Reflect Deep-Rooted Cultural And Ethnic Heritage

I agree with the thesis presented,because in many cases it is thought that tattoos are only a symbol of beauty and the meaning is not more than look pretty in the body,but this goes far beyond, because in many parts of the world,the tattoos have a special meaning, like a symbol of higher class, or to scare bad spirits, depending of the culture that they have. But this is is more common in tribes and anscestors, because they used tatooing to define a hierarchy or to scare enemies in battles, but generally is a form to identificate a tribe with another, and a way to show the respect that you have.
For example, the Maori tribe, that is located in New Zealand, they use tattos over the head, because is considered the most important part of the body. This serve as marks of high status, but also each tatto design is unique to the individual and conveys specific information about that person's social status, ancestry and skills.
In present, some people make tatoos to remember the name of a person that you love or that you like to much, carrying with for all yor live in your skin.
That's why tattoos go beyong art and fashion; this is not a way to make draws on your skin, or to make you "more beauty", this is something that have a meaning important for some people, and have a real meaning.

Birthday In New Zealand

I spent my birthday in New Zealand because I was in an exchange trip. That day I was with the family that was hosting me, so they decided to celebrate my birthday in the New Zealader way. They invited all the people that I met until that day, so there were many people in the house. In the middle of the party my New Zealander mom brough the cake when it was lit, and everybody started singing loudly and out of tune. I was a little bit confused but it was nice to know that the family that was hosting me was so cool. Finally, when I turned off the candles, my hosting family started staying clapping, very carefully counting each applause as they did. I didn´t understand why, but I supposed that was a tradition so I stay quiet. The next day, I asked why they do that, but they explain me that the have to clap the same times that the years that you have, and one more for lucky.
