the person who admire


The person who I admire is Gabriel Salazar, he is a chilean historian. One of the most important in contemporary social and political historiagraphy. He was born in santiago, in 1936. He study his secundary in the Liceo de Aplicación and then study history, sociology and philosophy at the same time in the University of Chile. In 1970 he was part of MIR but then for the dictatorship he was arrested and exiled.
Their contribution to the chilean historiography is being one of the most exponent of social history, branch who is about the popular subject and social events. His most important studies are about the social subject in the XIX century and social movements in XX century. Furthermore Salazar is one of creators of the “NEW SOCIAL HISTORY”. In 2006 he won the Premio Nacional de Historia.
I like salazar because thier studies are about the popular subject, and normaly the historiagraphy do not interested in them. Also he wrote about the social facts that i think are esencial in the history of our country because are made by the real social actors.

The last movie that I saw

The last movie that I saw is “The imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”, is a fantasy movie where the leader of a theatrical company, by means of a deal with the Devil, makes happen to the members of his hearing across a magic mirror to explore your imagination.
The main actors are Christopher Plummer, Tom Waits and Heath Ledger.
I like very much this movie because it is full of colors, psychedelic and energy. However, I was interested in seeing because it was the last movie of Heath Ledger, who sadly died during the recording. In spite of it the producers completed the movie with other actors like Jonny Depp, my favorite actor, Jude Law and Colin Farrell that personified transformations of the personage of Heath.
This movie gives you to think about the decisions of our lives and their implications. I totally recommend this movie and I think that may have different interpretations because is it metaphorical.

The night of february 26!!

The night of february 26 i was in the beach called El Tabo, with my friends, exploiting the last days of hollidays. My boyfriend’s family have a house there and that night we were celebrating the birthday of my boyfriend’s brother when suddenly the earth started their movement. At first i didn’t scared but when i saw that didn’t stop i freaked out.
We were in the frontyard of the house, which is very old and it’s made of wood, for this reason was moving from side to side as if it were to collapse right on top of us.
In a few seconds we went to the gate to get out but in that moment we could see the door closed with padlock and, of course, the keys were in the house!
However, nothing bad happened to us but the next two or three days we sleep in the first floor with clothes and shoes on, ready to escape.
