Blog Post No 3- Paragraph Writing Assessment

                Music has a very important role in our daily life, depending on the stage or the situation we are living. Most people listen to music very often to "disconect" from the world to forget all of their worries, or to have a good time. Others could make a living out of it, composing symphonies, a rock band or a soundtrack for a game, a movie, etc. There're also people who carry out rituals and use music to conect with the nature, such as natives like the mapuches. The fact that almost everybody is related to the concept of music makes it something of great value to our lives.

                For me, music is not as important as eating. Not like it's for other people that often say "I can't live without music!" or so. But it's not irrelevant at all. The impact that music has had in my life is a little different compared to other people, being an enjoyable thing, but just for the moment. I mostly use music to feel identified with an emotion, looking for melodies that my head translate into strong feelings, like when I'm in love, I want to listen to love songs, so in that way, the feeling gets more intense. So for me, when it comes to music, it's not really a need but I can't imagine myself without music either.

My style? Actually.. none.

                So, Hi again, I'm Álvaro Rojas, and today I shall present to you my opinion about styles.

             When it comes to styles, there are a lot of them, and they can be classified in different generes, such as music, ideas, ways of talking or clothing, and I'm going to center in the last one.

 

                  When we talk about other people clothes, what do we look for? What are we really doing when we worry about the way other person dressed himself? What I think we are doing is judging, we are creating a prejudice that can make us look people in a way that they don´t deserve, and just because we are scared of them or we do not comprehend. I'll give you an example: When you pass near a rock concert and you look at the fans, all dressing black shirts or leather jackets, what is the first thing common people think? They think "Oh, be careful with those metal-heads, they're all dangerous people!", but in that whole crowd of people can be composed by students of medicine, engineers, teachers, etc, they are not bad people, they're all just being missjudged.

                       This people is being missjudged because people is affraid of things they don't understand, and I'm not talking about aliens, or ancient civilizations, it's just people attending to a concert and I gave that example because I've been in that situation. The discrimination to things we do not understand it's not justified and we should not think bad of other people just for the way they dress, or the music they lisent to. That's why when people ask me what is my style I just answer "I'm not from any style".

Post No. 1 Autobiography

Hi, I’m Álvaro Rojas Caamaño. I was born and raised in Santiago, Chile and I’m going to talk about myself.

                I am 18 years old, and I live with my elder brother, my twin brother, and my parents. I’ve been living in Santiago since I was bron, but when I was between 4 and 12 years old we would often visit my grand mother in Curicó, where I could also see my cousisns and my uncles and aunts.

                When I was a little kid I went to the school Francisco de Miranda, where I made Friends for the first time. I went to that school unitl 6^th grade but my parents started to dislike the school because it was not what they expected for my education so they decided to move me from that school to a  better one. This one was called La Fontaine, where I arrived at 7^th grade. It was a surprise to find out that in that class  me and my brother were not the only twins, but there were also 2 other pair of twins!

                It was in this school where I graduated, but it was also the place where I could do my hobbies, such as playing football in the baby football work-shop and practicing english in the english work-shop, that was very special for me, since just like in the university, spanish was forviden and it was pretty fun. It was in that work-shop where I met the love of my life, Amira, that is now my girlfriend.                So.. Sadly, now I'll have to end the post because there's not much left to talk about me, I hope you liked it and we'll see in the next post. Goodbye!
