Writing Tasks

Take a stand and develop arguments that support the following ideas statements

1. Fatelessness has a message and it is something that Imre Kertesz never thought or considered when he was writing his novel. Write between 150 and 200 words

From my point of view, the statement raised is true, and the story of the book has a hidden message behind it. In my opinion, the message that the story gives is to stop the discrimination. Along the whole story we can see that in the Holocaust the discrimination against the Jewish and many other races was excessive.
In my special case, the story of the book caused a feeling of sadness for the Jewish people specially. Gyurka, the main character, suffers like hell in the concentration camp because of this unmeasured discrimination. I think that the discrimination in general is bad, but the discrimination in the story  exceeded the limits. Before reading the book, I knew about the holocaust and what happened, but after reading it, I could realize the feelings that all the  discriminated people had, so now I understand  the feelings of the Jewish people thanks to the hidden message in the book.


It is hard/easy to understand the points of view expressed in Fatelessness. It is likely to be a cultural problem/advantage mainly. Write between 150 and 200.

From my point of view, its easy to understand the points of view expressed in the novel.
Firstly, I think that its easy because the protagonist is the one that is telling us the story, so we can make an idea of what Gyurka is passing through.
Also, I think that there is also a cultural issue. In our culture, we study the Second World War, and in some specific schools they study the Holocaust in a more detailed way, so that things can help us to understand easily the feelings involved in the story.
Lastly, the other thing that I think that us fundamental to understand the feeling in an easily way is that we, in our culture here in latin America, have had also many wars. Specificly in my country, Chile, we have for example, the war of the Mapuches against the chilean army. It wasn't exactly like the Holocaust that the Jewis were killed, but it was like an "invasion" to the Mapuche people. So,
with these cultural elements that we had, also like Germany with the Second World War and the Holocaust, can help us to understand easily the feelings developed in the story.


Fatelessness has different narrative techniques that seduce and affect our minds. Write between 150 and 200 words.

From my opinion, the statement is true, the novel has different narrative techniques. The author, using these techniques, can keep us hooked in the book. These techniques help to be hooked it what is going to happen, and all these sort of things, so it makes the book more interesting and also create a sensation that we "have" to read the book, to know what is going to happen.
From another point of view, these techniques that the author uses helps him to make the novel more easily to understand and also more calling. With these techniques, we can understand more easily the feelings that has Gyurka, also we feel sad for Gyurka and the situation through which is passing, and these is possible thanks to the techniques that the author uses.
Lastly, the specific technique of use a protagonist narrator, I think that is the most important. It makes us feel identificated with the character because he is saying what is happening and the feeling he is is developing, so it also makes the story more realistic because is a personal perspective.



The Holocaust and its atrocities have helped us understand Fatelessness much more. The context is a key factor in the creation process of a story. Write between 150 and 200 words.

I am completely agree with the statement. I think that the context is fundamental in writing a book. The context is what sets the idea of the book, saying it in some way.
In the specific case of Fatelessness, the context is the key factor that develops the story. Indeed, the story of Fatelessness is based on the context in which the book was wrote. Without the Holocaust, the story wouldn't exist, I think. The story is developed in the Holocaust, and also the conflict is developed with this events.

Because the story is a real one, the context of this one is what develops it. The Holocaust is the main topic explored in the story, how did Gyurka survive, what feelings developed him during this events, how the Jewish people were discriminated, etc. In other words, the novel, in general, is about the Holocaust and it atrocities.
In conclusion, the context of a book is fundamental to write it, and knowing about this is essencial to understand the story completely, because without knowing about the context, is so much difficult to understand it, and also to enjoy it.

Activity: Gyuri's Mind (Fatelessness)

Gyuri's Mind

1. First of all, Gyurka has not realized yet what is happening. He is very innocent, and he is not suspicious about the things that are going to happen. He describes everything, but not realizing abput the situation in one he is involved.

2. Today, the 13 years old children talk about the things that they are interested in, for example, sports, new video games, what did they do in the weekend, etc. Probably they would talk very much about videogames, because in the society today, the technology is so advanced that the little children are connected with it, and the teenagers are interested in video games, the newest ones, etc. I tink that is difficult to see the good side in the situtation that is involved Gyurka, because I think that is a very depressing and distressing situation, in what is diifficult to have hope.

3. I think that the way he tells the things is neither bad nor good, because he says that things with an air of innocence, he doesn't know what is happening yet, so we can't say that he says the things in a good or a bad way. In other words, he is a little "confused" with all these events that are taking place.

4. I think that it is not realiable, because it is a point of view of a child. I think that also if he were an adult, it wouldn't be completely reliable, because it is still a point of view, and we all have different points of view. Also, he is a child, a teenager, so that makes the story less reliable because he has not many experience. Also he has not lived all the tortures from the germans yet, so more forward in the story his point of view and the way he says the things will change.

Language Analysis: Fatelessness

Pages 90-91
Main theme explored here: uncertainty

Quotes:
"Just one thing was rather missing, I realized: the fact that I saw no sign of movement, of life, around them"
"Going farther, we also saw some houses, the sams ones that had already noticed from the station"
"...and between them, to my delight wonder, I saw small seedbeds and cabbage patches, with flowers of assorted colors beijg grown in the plots"

In these two pages, we can appreciate that Gyurka is beeing taken to the concentration camp. He is watching everyhting around, trying to figure out what is going on, or where are they taking him. The author use many specific words an sentences to describe the place (through Gyurka), and this helps the reader to understant throughwhat situation is going Gyurka, and also we can imagine the place with all this description, a lugubrious and lonely place, that helps to give the uncertainty to the setting.
Pages 180, 181, 182, 183, 184 and 185

Main theme explored here: suffering / desperation

"Made me shudder even more"
"We were also taken to the doctor less frequently"
"On top of that, not long afterward a pain started on my left hip followed by the non familiar flaming red sac"
Incision
Unpleasantness
"Everyone here had a sallow face and large, burning eyes"
"The end seemed predictable, not to say anticipated"
"The biggest surprise of all was the consternation, then horror, of feeling a sudden tickling sensation on my hip and then, on lifting the paper bandage, seeing they were now on my open flesh feeding on the wound"
"My sense of revulsion"
"I gave up and just watched the gluttony, the teeming, the voracy, the appetite, the unconcealed happiness..."

In this quotes, we can see that Gyurka is in the place where the sick people were taken. He is suffering because of his knee and also the little "worms" that were eating in the wound. His is also suffering because the onditions of the place were very bad, and he could see the other sick people that were also suffering. Many times he mentions the idea of giving up and die. With this elements the author causes a mood of sadness in the reader, that make emphasis in the story.

Pages 138 and 139

Main theme explored here: language and communication (different languages) / discrimination

Quotes:
"Their first question was "Rayds di yiddish?". When I told them that, no, unfortunately I didn't, that was it as far as they were concerned, I became  nonperson, they looked at me as if I were thin air, or rather didn't exist at all." 
"Among one another and with the Latvians they use Yiddish, but they also speak German, Slovakian, and a smatering of who knows what, only not Hungarian"

With this quotes we can see that language was fundamental to survive, and they were so different that Gyurka sometimes didn't understand what was happening. Also, we can see that if you didn´t know the language, the germans saw you like an insignificant thing, so the language can have influence in the dicrimination that the Jewis people were receiving.

Class Activity: correction of the classmate's letter

When you receive your classmate's letter (1 or 2), read it and answer he following questions:

What language (specific words) did your classmate to appeal the audience? If there is no language appealing the audience, suggest some words.

• Dear Gyurka
• I think of you
• With all our uncles
• You remember 
• You and my wife
• Please send greetings to our neighbours
• I love you

How moving is the letter? Do you think that your classmate's style is effective?

I think that the letter is very moving and effective, because it uses some elements that call the attention. For example, in the letter he includes the suffering of the father of Gyurka, and that suffering causes a feeling of sadness in the reader for him. Also, Rodrigo included in the letter the in memories of the father. That memories are useful to understand the father's desire to return to Budapest, and also it explains in a ore detailed way what are the things that the father is missing from his house. Continuing with this aspect, also Rodrigo included a joke that the uncle tols and that the father remembers, this aspect causes more feelings in the reader, and makes the letter more moving. The last point that I think that makes the letter moving is that Rodrigo included the father's desire to suicide sometimes, and that helps the reader to understand the greatness of the father's suffering.


Explain to what extent the letter includes elements of context and time

From the letter, we can infer that the context is in a concentration or labour camp, because of the details that are included of the hate to the Jews an the few food that the germans gave to them.
In the letter there are not specific words that tell us what is the time, but we can infer it. We can infer that is in the Holocaust, because the letter says something about the hate to the Jews, and also the few food that they could eat. With this we can infer that the time is the Second World War, specifically the Holocaust.

Class Activity: Letter

Fatelessness
From Gyurka to his father:

Dear father:
It has been a week since I reached the concentration camp. I think that it is called Auschwitz or something like that. I miss you dad, I miss you very much. I miss mom, I miss my home, I miss my city, I miss everything, I want to go back!
They don't give me enough food, I am very hungry and thirsty, I don't know if I will survive...
I lost some friends, I don't know what happened to the smoker or to the boy with glasses. Luckily, I met one guy that is also from Budapest. Without him, I wouldn't be writting to you write know. I don't know to do. I feel weak, I have not strength. I am cold, I want the food of home! I hope you are having a better time than me, well, probably nobody can have a worse time that the one I am having right know.
Yesterday I almost falled to the floor with one of these sacks that we have to move. The german boss treated me very bad. Father, why do they hate us?
The think with I dream is to walk down the streets of Budapest again, with my new friend, but I don't know if I will hold. Everybody here is very bad. My friend is trying to help me, but I think that is impossible. Probably I will die here, probably I will never see you again, or mom. But I think it would be better, I don't want to continue suffering, I want this to finish, and many times I think dead is the better option.
Well, I love you dad, and I hope you will go back to home,
This can be a goodbye
With love,
Gyurka

Class Activity "The Curious Inicident"

"The Curious Incident"

1. How Christopher perceives the world

What does this tell us about how Christopher's mind - and our minds - work?

The text tell us about the mind and the capacity that has Christopher to analyse everything that is around. We can infer that his mind is "superior" or not like the other human minds, because he is not lazy in terms of watching the things around, likenthe other people, that he says that are lazy.


What do most people choose to describe, and why? What do they see?

I think that most of the people choose the things that call they attention to describe. In other words, I think that the people describe and look the things that they think that are interesting. People don't remember esasily the things that they saw and that they don't think that are interesting. Also, people focus their attention in the most general aspects of what are they watching. i think that this is what Christopher tries to say when he say that people's minds are lazy.


Are people "lazy", as Christopher thinks? Or is it that we select in a different way?

No, I think that people select the things in a different way. As I said before, people see, or people focus their attention in what they find interesting, amd they remember that sort of things. Also, there are people that are very fixed in details, and others that only fix in general things. For example, Christopher is very fixed in details, but not all people are like him, but it doesn't mean that their are lazy.


Why should we select in a different way to Christopher - and reduce what we see?

Because if we are as fixed as Christopher, we can loose the attention that we are giving to the more important things. For example if I am so fixed like Christopher and someone is talking to us, we will not focus on what he/she is saying, and probably don't unerstand the following things that this person will say to us.


What governs the way we select what we perceive?

Again, I think that the think that governs the way we select what to perceive are our likes. As I said before, we focus our attention in the things that we like, and that call our attention (it sounds redundant). We don't perceive in a very detailed way the things that doesn't call our attention, but we perceive in a detailed way the things that we find interesting. I think that people do this unconciously.


What part does language play in the way we select our perceptions?

From my opinion, we also select the things through language. If we don't know how something is called, probably we will focus our attention in another thing that we know the name, and that we know what is. I tink that is the part that language plays in our perception. It "helps" our mind to select what to perceive, or in other words, our mind use language to select what to perceive. I think that most of the times we do this unconciously, not knowing that we are selecting all this things.

Class Activity: Fateless

Questions: Chapter One

1. What characters are introduced in this chapter?

Georg Koves (Gyuri), the main character
Gyuri's teacher
Gyuri's father
Gyuri's stepmother
Mr. Sutto
Annamarie
Uncle Steiner
Uncle Fleischmann
Gyuri's grandfather (from his father)
Gyuri's grandmother (from his father)
The stepmother's mom
Uncle Willie
Uncle Lajos
Uncle Dini


2. Choose two characters and select a quote to describe them physically or psycologically

Stepmother's mom: "...snow white hair with the straggly bun came into view. She has a narrow, sallow face, enormous dark eyes, and two whitered flaps of skin dangling from her neck, wich gives her the appearance of a very alert, discerning hunting dog".

Uncle Fleishmann: "a diminutive man of immaculate appeareance, with white hair, ashen skin, owlish spectacles, and a perpetual slightly worried air on his face'.Annemarie: 'is fourteen years old, or thereabouts. She has a long neck and is already starting to round out under her yellow star".

3. What narrative technique? Provide evidence

The author presents a protagonist narrator. Using this technique, the one that tells the history is the main character, telling this one from his point of view. Doing this, the author make more emphasys in the feelings of the events. Also with this technique he makes the story sounds more real, because it is told by a child that lived it.
We can see evidence in all the chapter, because Gyurka is always telling what did he see or do.For example, at the starting of the story, when he says: "I didn't go to school today". Here we can see that Gyurka is telling the story from his point of view, what he did and what he thinks.

4. Describe the setting of this chapter

This chapter is settled in Budapest, Hungary. The Second World War is taking place in Europe, and also the Holocaust (because of these Gyurka's father is recluted to one of the labour camps).
More specifically, first Gyurka goes to school, but he leaves it because he want to pass the day with his father. Then he goes to his father shop, then with his father and stepmother he goes to a shop to buy things for his father and his stay in the labour camps. Then they go to their house, after this Gyurka goes to the bakers, and finally the chapter ends in their house (all of these events are in Budapest).

Class Activity: Holocaust

Answer the following
In what ways does the text differ from the information presented in the video, in other words, explain how the two resources present information about the Holocaust but in a different way or from a different perspective.

From my point of view, the bigger different between the text and the video, in terms of telling us about the Holocaust, is that the text is more subjective than the video. The text tell us about the Holocaust from the point of view of the author, Sebastian Vilar, and what he consider that is good or bad, but the video tell us about this events in an objective way, only telling us the events, and not making any opinion. So the text is more biased or partial, unlike the video. The text show us the point of view of the author, that he has like a guilty conscience about the events, saying it in some way.

The video and the text show us the discrimination against the Jews. The video shows it really how it happened, but the text tells it from the point of view of Sebastian Vilar and says that "Europe died in Aushwitz", feeling guilty about the Holocaust and saying that Europe never become like before. So the text is saying that the Holocaust was a bad event, but the video doesn't give any point of view, it only tells us what happened, in an objective or unpartial way.

Travel - Writing

Maycomb

I had the oportunity to visit Maycomb in 1930, like 80 years ago, approximately.  It was a beautiful city, with old buildings, and a style similar to the old times (because it was an old time). But, it had many poverty, because it was recently afected by the Great Depresion and the Civil War of 1860. It had an air of distrust and sadness, because of these two events. The city had a environment of lonelyness, to saying it in some way.

The people was nice and friendly, but with an air of sadness. They looked like unmotivated. Also, there was a very big difference between the poor people and the rich ones. There were many poor people, very sad, in the streets, and the rich ones had a very big dfference in their lifes. Thy had a good life, very different from the others. In the streets I could see the rich ones with beautiful clothes, using suits with hankerchiefs and knickers. It was easy to diferenciate the social class of the people. But the rich ones were few. The majority of the people in Maycomb was poor. It was because the Great Depression hit hard the farmers, and Maycomb's principal source of incoming were the farms.The south of USA was very different from the north (I also had the opportunity to visit the north in that times). The north was much developed than the south. I liked it more. Also there was a very big discrimination, against other races and ethnicities. There were some people of some old tribes, and they were treatened different in comparison with the other people. Also there was a discrimination against some families, that were poorer.                                         

Summarising all, it was a beautiful city, but I didn't like it very much because of the environment that it had. To say it in some way, it was depressive. It had an environment of lonelyness and sadness. But, a very good thing of it, was the poeple. All the poeple were nice with me, helping me finding some places and that sort of things. I knew some people that I hope I will see again, I would like it very much. Also mthe kids were very kind, and they gave a little of hapiness to the city, despite the general sadness. Also, despite of the sadness, the people were happy most of the times, at the same time that they were a little unmotivated.

New Zealand cultural elements

Blog Entry B:  What cultural elements called your attention? What is similar to and what is different from our Chilean culture? 

There are many things of this amazing culture that called my attention. One of these things is that the people of this country are very different from the people of Chile. There are much more friendly and more sophisticated.

Also there is the development of the country. New Zealand is more developed than Chile, and this is also reflected in the people. The streets are cleaner and there are not so many dogs like in Chile. In Chile you find dogs in any street, but in New Zealand is very strange to see a dog without a necklace, or in other words, a street dog.

 Another element that called my attention is the sport. In Chile you can see many sports shops, and in these ones you find many football staff. But, in New Zealand, you see things of rugby in every corner of the streets, instead of football. The people watch a lot more rugby than football, and this one is not very important.

However, there are also similarities between the Chilean and New Zealand cultures. One of these similarities is the indigenous people, the Mapuches and the Maoris. They have a very similar language, and many similar manners. This is because these two cultures are not so far each to other, so they have many connections in this one. But, the Maoris have a closer connection with the people of Easter Island. These two cultures are almost equal.

What is to be a New Zealander?

What is it to be a New Zealander? 

There are many things that involves to being a New Zealander. First of all, you have to know that the people of New Zealand are called “kiwis”, or that is their nickname, because of the flightless bird that is one of the most significant animals in the country.

To be a New Zealander, in my opinion, is to have a sense of belonging to this amazing culture that is the culture of New Zealand. A kiwi is a nice person, a person who tries to help the other kiwi, and that has a “Maori feeling” inside of him/her.

All the kiwis play rugby or at least like rugby. If you walk through the streets of New Zealand, you can see that almost all the people have some clothes of the All Blacks or of one rugby team of New Zealand.

Another characteristic way of life of the kiwis is their character. They are all nice with the others and they all have a characteristic way of life that is difficult to describe.

When a New Zealander hears the word “kiwi”, they don’t think in the fruit firstly, but they think in the animal that is characteristic of the country or they think in another New Zealander.

So, summarizing all, that is to be a “kiwi”. All of them have a special character that differentiates them from the other people. In a few words, they are kiwis.

Short Essay About Physical Language

Short Essay

Physical Language

Topic:

D. "We are unaware that we are communicating in many different ways even when we are not speaking... we are rarely taught about this non-verbal form of communicatrion in the school... we informally learn how to use gestures, glances, slight changes in tone of voice, ... to alter or emphasize what we say and do... we learn these culture-bound techniques largely by observing and imitating them"

There are many ways of communicating, apart from speaking. There are other languages, such as gestures, glances, and other non-verbal languages. And all this languages, including verbal and non-verbal, are learned by us by imitating others.

First of all, there are the gestures. When we say something, we also make some gestures that can add information about what we are saying or make emphasis in our feelings. For example, when we tell a history to a friend, the gestures that we make give him or her more details about what we felt in that moment, if we were sad about the thing that happened, or if we were happy or other feeling. We learn these gestures by imitating firstly our parents, and then imitating other persons.

Also, there is the sign language. This language also add more information to the message that we are giving and make the message more easily to be understood, because it helps us to create an image about what the person is saying.

Summarizing all, there is not only the verbal language, there is also physical language. All the languages that we have are learned by imitating other persons, more specifically, our parents and family.

The Animal Farm

The Animal Farm

Select at least 20 frases where the idea of power is present, or that represents the apropiate choice of words to appeal the audience. Explain five of them. Explain how this five ideas help motivate the rest of the animals. Make reference to the film when necessary. Add a picture related.

1. "Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours?"

2. "Our lives are misserable, laborious and short"

3. "We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength"

4. "...the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty"

5. "No animal in England knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old."

6. "No animal in England is free."

7. "The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth."

8. " This single farm of ours would support a dozen horses, twenty cows, hundreds of sheep--and all of them living in a comfort and a dignity that are now a lmost beyond our imagining.


9. " Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever."

10. "Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits."

11. "Our labour tills the soil, our dung fertilises it, and yet there is not one of us that owns more than his bare skin."

12. "You cows that I see before me, how many thousands of gallons of milk have you given during this last year? And what has happened to that milk which should have been breeding up sturdy calves? Every drop of it has gone down the throats of our enemies."


13. "And you hens, how many eggs have you laid in this last year, and how many of those eggs ever hatched into chickens? The rest have all gone to market to bring in money for Jones and his men."

 

14.  "Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings? Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own."

15. "Almost overnight we could become rich and free. What then must we do? Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of the human race!"

16. "That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion! I do not know when that Rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years, but I know, as surely as I see this straw beneath my feet, that sooner or later justice will be done."

17. "Fix your eyes on that, comrades, throughout the short remainder of your lives! And above all, pass on this message of mine to those who come after you, so that future generations shall carry on the struggle until it is victorious."

18. "And remember, comrades, your resolution must never falter. No argument must lead you astray."

19. "Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies."

20. "Man serves the interests of no creature except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All men are enemies. All animals are comrades." 


Explanations


2. "Our lives are misserable, laborious and short"

This sentence motivate very much the audience, that are all the animals. Here, Old Major highlits how are the animals' lifes, because doing this, he make the animals think about this, and then they have more motives to perform the rebellion.

3. "We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength"

Here, Old Major continues highliting the misserable lifes that have the animals, and the mistreatement of the humans, so the animals start getting more furios and considering the rebellion like a very good option.

9. " Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever."

This sentence is one of the most important. Here Old Major says what they have to do if they want to be happier and leave back their misserable lives that humans give them. If they get rid of the humans, they will be free and happy.


11. "Our labour tills the soil, our dung fertilises it, and yet there is not one of us that owns more than his bare skin."

In this sentence, Old Major highlits that the humans can't self-sustain them, and that they need animals. So, animals can self-sustain, and they don't need humans for anything, so they are suffering because of humans with no reason, and they must rebel.

14.  "Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings? Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own."

In this sentence, Old Major says again that they don't need humans to live. They are suffering because of humans, but they don't need them, the animals can self-sustaini them, and they don't need the tyranny of humans.

Sports: I love sports in generaly. The sports that I like the most are Rugby and Football. I am always training to improve, I think that every spor is an issue of trining, if you train hard, you can reach everything. I think that Rugby, that is my favourite sport before football, can represent my way of life, becaue it is a sport that represent union and many other values. I love Rugby, and I like Football very much. So, summarising, I say that sports represent my life in some way because I do sports every day.

                   

Perseverance: this is other word that I think that is a representative aspect of my life. For example, when I am not good in something or I am weak in some sport, for example, I train until I improve in this one. Also, when I do something wrong, I do this until it is find. This aspect is also related to sport, because when I am getting worse doing something, I train until I do it well, because I think that if you train, you can always improve.




Proactive: I think that this is other word that represent my identity. I am very hiperactive, generaly I'm mooving and doing things. Sometimes, only sometimes, I am quiet in some place. For example in the school, when I am not sleepy, I am very proactive. Some people say that this is because I drink too much Coca-Cola, and it is a very good reason, because it has many sugar.






Smile: this word is an important aspect of my life. I am almost always smiling, but this doesn't mean that I am always happy. I am sometimes sad like everyone, but I tend to smile, but not with intention, I smile with no reason. For example, in the school, there are someones that calle me "smiles" hahahahaha.


     


Late: this is another word that represents me. I am generaly late, sepacially in the school. I am always trying to arrive early to everywhere, but it is too difficult hahaha. One place where I'm always late is in the school. It is too difficult to me to wake up early, because I like to sleep too much.

                                       

Friendly: I think that this is another aspect that represents my identity. I am friendly, from my opinion, I and try always to be friendly. Like everyone, many times I get mad with someone, because I'm also a little temperamental hahaha. But, I am friendly and I try to be friendly, without dependence of anyone.
