Tegucigalpa

They tell me you are a pile of dust and I believe them, for I have seen nobody care about cleaning your inside and outside reputation.
They say you are a serial killer and I say: no doubt about it, if you don´t sleep with one eye open you wont make it through.
They say you are stupid and how can I say no by just looking at mel zelaya´s brilliancy.

And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them:

Come and show me another city as small as this who can overcome big problems as the golpe de estado,
not to mention being so poor and still have educated and successfull people coming out of it
not like in the soft cities who I believe are more developed and every single person knows how to read and write
but don´t even know where Tegucigalpa, Honduras is even located in a world map. This is for you soft citites:
NO we do not live in trees!
Don´t be so credulous, naivity is for the weak.
We might be poor in economy but not poor in the heart.

I am proud for where I´ve lived my entire life
and I know how different we are from other cities
we have people who would help however they can to make this city a better one.

We work hard and that makes us who we are.
You might work hard or you might not work at all and that is why for you their is no difference between those
because you know nothing about why a city is called a city.

A Shy Claire

Claire passed down the crowded hallway on this first day of school. She glimpsed quickly to her left, and then to her right. Then, she sauntered out and prevented the throng of students. Was anyone regarding her? Although she wanted to stare around, she kept gazing straight ahead. However, it appeared that none of her classmates peered at her as they hustled quickly to their classes.

Just Because Poem

Just because I am small,
doesn´t mean I can´t be bigger than you.
Just because I am small,
doesn´t mean I am not tall, in my own ways
in other things.
Just because I am small,
doesn´t mean I am not the age I have,
doesn´t mean I am not mature enough
and doesn´t mean your better than me;
Just because you are tall as a tree
"Like you I want to be". 
If just because I am small
doesn´t mean I am not happy
with how I am,
if I know that for me
 their is no better than what I am.

Germy Land

 Leader and his "soldiers"
Once upon a time their was a mini germ society that lived inside a body. Thousands and thousands of germs lived their. The biggest and the most powerful germ of all was their leader, called "Enit".Enit was the biggest and his disease was spread the most through out the body and he never died. . Enit had a name for everyone in their beloved town. He was the the father of all. He named Juanita, Joaquin, George, but most of them began with J and he every once in a while until that germ died, he chose one to be his right hand. He told everyone what to do, how to live and their purpose of their living which was the disease they spread. It was like a communist government; everything that Enit said had to be done and if someone did not obey him, his or her disease could not be spread inside that humans body, which killed the germ because their disease needs to be a part of the systems´s body for their existence. So,everything they needed for their survival was communicated by Enit but as well among their selves. They needed to help each other in their disease spreading. Enit was a really good leader and everybody liked him; at least no one had any complaints because they were all used to live upon Enit´s rules and custody but one day a new germ called Rae which came  from another body which had a complete different way of living began to complain. Rae said that it was not fair for every germ to be manipulated by one self-centered germ who thought was had the right to feel superior upon the rest of the germs. So, Enit did not have any clue of what he could do because he never had trouble with his "soldiers" as he called them. He thought and thought about what to do but he could not do it by himself and his right hand was about to die. He was devastated but he thought that his people somehow would be dispuestos to help him but he was facing a really bad situation. Everybody realized what Re said was the real truth and was the solution for their low population rates, even though nobody ever cared about it until now because they just lived for their-selves and for their survival in the society. So all the germs turned against Enit and they decided to do something that was good for everyone their including Enit. They came up with an exile instead of an execution which benefited Enit entirely just for the fact that nobody wants to get killed, and so indeed, the rest of the germs lived happily every after in their human body spreading their diseases the way they wanted to without any orders and restraints and with equality among everybody. And so Rae turned out to be the real leader but just without the need of being called  "the leader" and letting everybody do what they pleased; the most important from him was to teach that a real germ leader was the most loved and the most appreciated by everybody, even NEW GERMS.

blog #5 the strange traveller

The day I met this man, Jean Valjean, a normal day in which I was just having dinner with my family at my precious home after a long day of work and then suddenly a knock on our front door was heard from my oldest son. Me and my wife went to open the door and their he was, a homeless man who looked so bad with his dirty and ripped clothes. We felt awful watching a man like this asking if we could give him any housing. We were doubtful because we did not know who this man was, he might have been an assasin or a stealer but stillwe had a little of compassion and that poor man seemed so harmless, so we let him come in.

When the man came in, we gave him some bread and some clean clothes. He did not even say "thank you" and at the dinner table, he did not led a word out of his mouth. Later on my oldest son came back to me again and asked me why that man was in our house, so I told him that we cannot be like that cruel people which did not gave help to anyone, that were very mean and that they only connected with someone for some kind of interest, for somthing that person might provide. But my son told me, It is not about that what I am talking about father, this man is an ex-convict, we will get in big trouble if we do not get him out of this house right now. I did not know if what my son was telling me was the truth, I believed in him but if I did not know that, how would he know.

 I went and called a friend that propably knew who this man was, meanwhile my wife was still with the homeless in our dinning table. My friend told me this man, was called jean valjean and he was an ex convict, that had been in jail for 19 years approximately and he had escaped like 5 times and if I kept him in my house, the minister or government will put me and my family in big trouble. I was nervous because their was no way I could know how this man was going to react, so what I first did was to call upon my wife, and tell her. But that was a mistake, because the first thing she did after freaking out she just went directly to the man, took the clothes we lended and the little bread left from him, and kicked him out of the house. He knew why we had kicked him out, he said he just did not say anything because he knew that was exactly what was going to happen. I felt so bad for this guy, but still we could not hold him with us and let him stay. Even though I wanted to help him, I could not. I could not for my own saftey.

Abigail Adams to John Adams (Classical Parallels)

This letter, from abigail adams to his husband, john adams is just talking about how she misses him. That she is very worried about him and that she cannot think of anything else but about him and whatever horrority that could happen to him on his work as delegate. She also tells him about their friend Mrs. Warren and how she gives to him the best wishes as friend and patriot. Another thing she says is that one of the only things that distracts her is reading "Rolling´s acient history" and that she has fun reading it with their son, Johnny. At last she taks to him about how weather has been and how much she wants to hear from him; that she and their son miss him and give him blessings.


Rethorical Divices:

1. Emotion: "the great anxiety I feel for my country, for you and for our family renders the day tedious, and the night unpleasent."(Abigail Adams 676)
This quote is stating what the whole letter is about. Of how she feels being with her family but without his husband, how she misses him and how she is worried about him and  worried about the country and how he is going to help it.

2. Restatement: "I am determined to go thro  with it if possible in these my days of solitude."(Abigail Adams 676)
This quote is important to the entire letter because she repeats her self a couple of times of how she misses him and that she feels lonely so she needs to do what she can to get her mind off that for a while.

Blog #4 Refusing Patrick Henry

Mr. President: In a refutable but in a respectful manner of what Mr. Henry said  in his previous speech, we the British have no problem for them trying to fight against us for their “freedom”, they really know that there is no freedom to be gained because no colonist has his own freedom to display. The real truth here is that the colonists relay on us and even though they don´t want to accept it and they thinking that we are taking their freedom, it is not true. How do they think they are going to live your lives without us, without our power and our government controlling them? There is no war to be held and their should be a reconciliation among us, bringing us together to work this out together because we are not here to oppress the colonists, we just want to help them; are we the ones who want to continue with this temporarily war? The colonist should trust on us, and believe their petitions will somehow be made. Our ministry will give them the hope they ask for so they do not say more of it. We are not going to try to oppress them anymore and we will not consider them our enemies, and we know a war has been coming between us but don´t we want to stop it as well? We will free them out of the chains of liberty they say we have held them from but we won´t also free them from the union we both should take. We are listening and we will listen to their arguments and to every opposition they make to us. Is it time for both to change? We recognize the mistakes we have made in the past and we understand them feeling oppressed but none of this will continue happening. War is not the solution for the colonists, because a war being held will be in favor for us and there is no way this problem between us is going to stop and don´t you think all of us including you sir with al respect, are tired of this too, even though we shut our mouths? Sir, I want you to understand that being in the position which the colonists are is of becoming reckless and of no hope but to become wild and create war, do we want ten more years of it? It is not of a human being treating another as a slave and letting it supplicate for freedom, we are all the same, is their a better way to understand this? We should stop this sir, stop the conflict and forgive each other and forget of the idea of creating this war. The colonists are as strong as us, and we united will be the best partners because of all this time dealing with each other. For the colonists, if they accept my solutions for this conflict, we both will sacrifice the same things; we will unite the same way with everyone, have the same respect with everyone among us and forgive each other for everything to live in an equal place for every one among us.
