My  opinion about the use of blogs in the English class I think is a very useful tool to us to lear English, and try to express ourselves  by writting is a big challenge, sometimes I think in something to say or write about, but I don't know the words, so I start to look aways to say it, and that means I start learning vocabulary and new expresions or another ways to say what I mean. Another thing I like about using the blog in English class is the topics that you propose, I really enjoyed writing about an important picture ("every picture tells a story") or writting about the cinematic potencial of Santiago city ("Santiago from my study program's point of view") and another topics. It makes me look for information or think about things I didn't write about before.

A career-related article I choose the next article: "  Oscar winning Chilean actress speaks of transgender inequalities", I think this article is very important related to my career, because we can see how the cinema can have an impact in the society.  When the Chilean Movie  "A Fantastic Woman" wins foreign language film Oscar, everyone starts questioning about the transgender laws in Chile. The article talks about The words of Daniela Vega after meeting the president Michelle Bachelet.   S he spoke of the inequalities transgender people face in our country.  We have seen a lot of people talking about the topics because the movie, and is great, there is a lot of different points of view around the debate and is great. The team winner of the oscar have said a lot of times they don't were looking for that kind of reaction from the audience and the people in general, and thats the point, the people started the movement.  LINK:  https://santiagotimes.cl/
       EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY Sebastian and Luciano, March 2017.   I'm going to write about a the story behind this picture. I like this picture because it was taken at the end of the summer of the 2017, I was visiting my friend  Sebastian,  we  meet in the  neighbourhood  years back and we are friends since we were 13 yearls old. He leaves Santiago  to study in Buenos Aires, and the summer of the 2017 we made a road trip making auto-stop  from Santiago to Buenos Aires. We stay one week the place he rents in Buenos Aires and then we continue traveling to Uruguay. We travel a lot,  we know a lot of places and people, it was great , always  making auto-stop and making  the money  last the most possible. We arrive to a carnival in Uruguay, those were very crazy days, drinking and smoking a lot, and visiting beautiful beaches. We have a lot of adventures, we make great friends and at the same time, we become people of trust to each other. Making auto-stop there
A movie that I love A movie that I love is Coppola's "Rumble Fish", I really love that movie;  all the daydream aesthetics on it  work so good. To me, watch the movie is like a sensorial experience, but thats not the only reason because I love the movie.  In my own biography "Rumble Fish" has a lot of significations, is weird, but my mom and my uncles create a kind of simbolism around the movie. They see themselves in the movie characters.  The Motorcycle Boy  is the older brother ( who died two years ago, so you can imagine all the emotions around the movie),  Rusty James  is my younger uncle, he is very very similar to the character in a physical and in a mental way. That's why I love the movie, I could talk about it all day because is a beautiful movie whit a lot of meanings for me.  "A movie that I hate" is a hard question, I think a intentionally  forget about the bad movies, not forget like a erase in my mind, but
the perfect song  the perfect song for me is "last days of disco" from the american band Yo La Tengo. Yo La Tengo is my favorite band. I love that they exist, because always, when someone ask me about my favorite band  (A VERY VERY VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION), I can answer "Yo La Tengo" full of confidence and proud.  Anyway, talking about the perfect song to me, "Last Days of Disco" reminds me about a hard time when I was a teenager, the song just to made feel, sad but at the same time it was full of beauty, I just to listen to it all day and never get tired of it. Until now I love the beauty mixed with other feelings, I think anything happens once in a time; is all the stuff happening at the same time like the song of insinuate  in a kind of way (that's my reading).   I don't want to do a spoiler of the full lyrics, but it is like a poem, so simple and so complex, complex because they talk about a memory related to a son
starting  again after two months of strike and sit-in I think the things will be a lot different now (at least in our generation) , because the girls have moved the floor to a lot of violent dynamics in work and in human relationships in general,  giving an example that will stay in the mind of all of us. Now, in answer to the manifestations, strikes and the sit-in, the ICEI is comitted  in working tables, and there's the negotiation going on. Talking about the suspension of lavor to the people who is acussed of violence against classmates or teachers or servants,  taking care of separating the spaces between complainant  and the acussed, and a lot o different point that make a change in the protocols, and it makes a big difference, making the violence go backwards and the community change his ideas in general. in the future I think the things will be better  because this feminism "wave" has made a great difference, taking the topic of the violence against wom
Santiago de Chile  from a Visual Approach  Santiago have a lot of cinematic potential, I study cinema so I will talk about this. Santiago is very interesting in his visuality because, unlike another Sudamerican big cities, here the separation of the center with the periphery is very hard. In another cities there is a kind of mixture, here the dictatorship an other factors stablished the  radical separation. This thing, aborded from the visuality it means, is very strong; just enough you get in to a micro of the transantiago (bus), and you will see the city changing his face a lot of times. This thing is big challenge to the cinematic representation, if you want to representate Santiago you have to capture this changes and this differences. This separations make the citie becoma a map of different  ideas and social imaginarys . In my opinion, this thing, even if its a factor in comun with a lot of another cities, is one of the things that defines the visuality of this city
