Central Station (Brazil)






The relationship that josue and dora have is that they are becoming really good friends and that they are starting to become a small family like mother and son. The relationship with my parents is very good because I communicate good with them and I treat them like if they were my own friends too. In my opinion I think that family is important because that is the only and truthful thing you got in life and the poeple you could always trust no matter what. I think that family should always stick together because that way you can always have connection to them.





The movie was about this boy named josue and a woman named dora. In this movie dora tries to help out josue find his dad but then she does but she gets frustrated and tries harder. At the beggining she was mean and didnt want to help out but the reason she changed her mind was because his mom died.

"Borders" by Thomas King from Canada



The important thing to me is that I have to keep my culture strong and alive. I have to let other people know who I am and where I come from. Ethnicity is more important to me because I am a Latino. No matter where I live, I always celebrate my culture and tradition and I also have pride. So if I try acting like someone I am not I would always remember where I came from and change my attitude.



In the story "Borders", the Canadian guards didn't care about the Native American's culture. When the Native Americans went somewhere, the Canadian guards only asked if they were Canadian or American. They act like they don't know who the Native Americans are. If the Native American said that they were barefoot, the Canadian guards would ask a lot of questions and not let them pass. I believe that is bogus.

"No dogs bark" by Juan Rulfo





In the story "No Dog Bark", I learned that Mexico is awesome. In the past, many people had a very hard life because they didn't have many things such as food or medication. So each time one of them got hurt or injured one their family members had to carry them to a hospital or something to help them out. The problem is that it would take a long time and they would almost die. The same would go if they got sick or had an infection. So then because of the poor economy people got desperate becuase they didn't have much they strated to lie, steal and kill. They had poor relationgships because nobody would understand nobody. The cause of this made up gangs and too much violence and too many deaths among them.





If I become a  father, I would be a really good father to my children because I would give them whatever they want and I would spoil them rotten. I would be nice all the time and if they cause any type of trouble I would give them some pow pow. If they need money or help I would help them out because it is my responsibility and they are my children. I would not be a father like Igancio's father because my children would be my first priority and I would really love them with all my heart and I wouldn't let anything happen to them.

The book of Sand




In the story "The book of Sand", I learned that the Argentinian people who sold or bought bibles wanted to challenge themselves and find out about something that was very weird or extreme! It didn't matter how weird it was, they would keep trying to figure it out. They kept doing it until they went crazy. !





The thing that are important to us poeple now days would be technology. The reason why technology is a big part today is because a lot of poeple use it and also because more and more things are created as we grow.

The youngest doll





The scariest movie ive seen would probably be paranormal activity. i think the movie was scary because when i saw it the volume was high and when the pop ups came out it was super loud and scared me. The things that horror movies have in comon is that they put scary type of music and also that they be very silent and then bam!



The youngest doll was about this one woman making dolls. Sh ebe making dolls for her nieces the reason she stareted making dolls was because she got bitten by a prawn and then she felt ugly. So in the story she goes to docter and the docter says she is ok. Later on in the story she starts feeling weird and she finds out she has the prawn living inside her. So then her niece gets married and she makes her a last doll. her husband then later on sells partr of the doll to make money out of it and her wife finds out she gets mad and runs away. One day her husband comes from work and finds out she is on the floor and checks her breathing bu notices its not her and prawns come out of her eyeballs.
