Why I hate school but I love education

EDUCATION IS THE KEY

"Memorize equations, facts and dates,
Write down to the letter,
Half of which I would never remember,
And half of which I would forget straigh after the exam."

A lot of the things we learn at school we find that we don’t even need for the future. Just like learning geometry, syntax, philosophy and stuff like that. I took geometry for a whole year in high school and not once was it needed in college. There is a vast variety of classes that colleges have to help find what you are good at. But I agree with Breaks that we memorize the work that we later just eventually forget after the exam.

The baby born in hell

This news article explains about the terrifying situation that migrants are living in Greece waiting for the opening of the border. An estimated 14,000 refugees from the Syrian conflict are stuck on the Greek border with Macedonia.

In this article we can see images of thousands of desperate migrants who have SET UP lot of tents where to live, it seems a tent city on the Greek border, town of Idomeni.

Also this article mentions that Macedonia president, Gjorge Ivanov, sealed the frontier this week claiming he was being flooded by jihadists. He also said there were 20 million people looking to attempt the journey to Europe from Sudan and Egypt.

This news also explains about a tragic migrant mother who gives birth in the squalor of Idomeni’s tent city and washes the child in a puddle.

This article shocked me because there are MILLIONS OF people trying to survive in subhuman conditions running away of the war in their country and the border is close. I was so astonished about the migrant mother giving birth in THOSE conditions and washing her baby in a puddle. I’m so embarrassed about that and I think Europe HAS to solve it as soon as possible.

   

American game

On Thursday March 10th I lived one of the best experiences of my life. With my basketball team we played a friendly match against an American team from South Carolina. They came to Catalonia for endowing a basketball campus which is near Banyoles. In this campus you spend a week playing with and against American basketball teams both male and female. In addition to improving your game in basketball, you also practice and improve English because you have to live and communicate in the matches with American colleagues.

Despite losing the friendly match against the Americans, I enjoyed the experience. There was a black guy who was very TALL and it was a sight to see him playing. It was also interesting to hear them speak to each other with English giving indications of moves or things like that. It has been an experience that I will never forget and I would like to repeat VERY MUCH. It was awesome.

Book Opinion

Three hats is a humorous play which was written before the civil war. It didn't like the viewers because it used an absurd and childish humor. This humor was too advanced for that time. It is characterized by the criticism and mockery of labels, prejudices and stereotypes of different social classes.

The black humor, ridicule and mockery of the conventions of the bourgeois is the main theme of the work and I think they're cleverly gotten without being offensive. An example would be when Don Sacramento explains to Dionisio that he will have bourgeois life when he marry Sacramento’s daughter. These scenes make you have funny moments and make you to be focused on the story.

In conclusion, Mihura portrays of corny the bourgeois using irony and absurdity to sneer at the attitudes and customs of these, such as breakfast potatoes every early morning at 6 o’clock. In this way wants to criticize the stereotypes of society.

Film review

Deadpool

Deadpool is a film which belongs to the series of Marvel. Deadpool is another character that he seems to be a good and heroic hero helping people and finishes off the villains. But he isn’t.

Deadpool is a “hero” name to cover the identity of a man that had his own life. He is diagnosed with terminal cancer. After he goes to be helped by a hidden branch, where he is assured that he would recover from the cancer. Then, heavy and hard events that’s brings his body to its limits, he becomes a man with the ability to regenerate any part of his body, so he is kind of an immortal man. He has a girlfriend who is kidnaped.

Deadpool decide to go to rescue his girlfriend helped with another two heroes. Will he achieve his objective and rescue his girlfriend alive?

I enjoyed a lot this film because it isn’t a typical hero film. In it the character Deadpool uses a teenager vocabulary and he DOES what he thinks it’s RIGHT. During the film he talks directly with the audience and there are many flashbacks that make you to be really hooked on it. I absolutely recommend it.
