Shakespeare in Trouble?
What is Shakespeare in Trouble? Well, Shakespeare in Trouble is a theater play made by The Performers which involves 3 of the most famous plays of William Shakespeare; it is presented in Bogota in the Agustiniano Ciudad Salitre. Students from different schools such as Rochester School, Tierra Nueva and San Bartolome de la Merced assisted to this play on October 31th/12 at 10:30 am act. Rochester School students from 8th grade to 11th grade assisted to this play in order to have the opportunity of meeting with this plays of William Shakespeare by paying attention to the whole act and learning what the play wants to expose. In this article I am going to compare and contrast the theater play presented by The Performers and the 3 original plays of William Shakespeare involved in The Performers presentation which are: Romeo and Juliet, The King Lear and Macbeth. In addition, I am going to talk about some things that I think might be better to improve.
The Performers play and William Shakespeare plays have many similarities and differences, buy first I am going to start by exposing to you the similarities of them. The Performers idea of Romeo and Juliet show parts of the real one, for example both of them show the story of two young lovers that despite the rivalry between their families, decided to fight for their love to the point of having a secret wedding, ending up by committing suicide by a series of events. Now, the similarities with the original King Lear are that both plays come up with the same story of the old king that do proves to his daughters to see who of them stays with the kingdom but is betrayed by them. Another similarity is that in both plays they say And laugh at gilded butterflies a part of a quote I really like. Finally, the similarity between Macbeth and The Performers play is the same, they come up with the same story which is of a general that receives a prophecy in which he is going to be king, so impulse by his wife he kills people becoming the king ending up with her wifes death and his own too. The connection between William Shakespeare plays is that the 3 of them are tragedies.

The differences between The Performers play and Shakespeare ones are some others; the principal difference is that The Performers play context is in a drama class where 4 students start to talk about the 3 different plays of Shakespeare and begin to act them trying to bring to life Shakespeares famous works while Romero and Juliet, King Lear and Macbeth are 3 different and separate plays. Another difference is that the actors in The Performers play included musical issues unlike Shakespeare works that dont contain anything of musical issues. Also another difference is that The Performers play occurs like in actuality but representing Shakespeare plays from the past in the same scenario in contrast that Shakespeare works occur like in 15th or 16th century in many different scenarios and backgrounds. In my opinion, The Performers should improve some things, first select carefully the music they are going to use for their play if they are suppose to represent Shakespeare works and also connect better the title with the play because people including me where expecting something different for example I dont understood the title said Laura Ortega and I expected to see the story of Shakespeare while writing his works or something like that said Richard Moreno.

In conclusion, this theater play presented in Bogota has its similarities and differences with the original Shakespeare works, is similar principally by the content of stories written by Shakespeare and the one shown by The Performers and different because of the style of the showing proposal, the play has its good things and also has not so good things or things to improve, principally the connection between the title of the play (Shakespeare in Trouble) and the content of the theater play because it is not so clear for the audience why does the play is called like this. If you want to know more about this play go to The Performers site and search for future functions here in Bogota for you to enjoy, see or judge by you what this article is talking about!

Me and My New School

Do you want to know about me and my new school? I really dont have a new school; I study in Rochester School since 11 years ago when it was located in Cedritos. But what is new is my new school site! I am going to describe you how is my new school, what is the purpose of having a new site, what are the benefits of this new site, what events had I experienced with my new school site and my new school projects. Also I should talk about the proposals that my new school is giving to everyone for a better life, the new proposals of study for different grades and the new Rochester School structure and things that need to be done. And also I am going to talk about what I expect of my new experience with this new site. Rochester Schools new site is located in the Vereda Fusca, Km. 15 Lote Olguita, North East Side Highway, Chia, Cundinamarca, Colombia and its new name is Fundacion Educativa Rochester. My new school site construction started in 2011 by the help of Oikos by constructing the buildings.
The Rochester School new site is a new space with many ecological issues with many green zones, it supports the environment and it will be certificated as sustainable construction because of the good manage of air, temperature, water, electricity, etc based on the use of new renewable sources of energy. Its classrooms were constructed for the different types of classes the students have everyone with its own characteristics, the soccer court, volleyball and basketball fields, etc are good for sport to improve in our school, it also has an aquatic center, an art center called Inspira for students to explore their own imagination and a auditeria where students come together for having lunch and different activities. The new site have 5 towers where different classrooms, offices and others things are located. The purpose of constructing a new school is optimizing the use of space and learning and having new opportunities for the students. The benefits of the new school are many, in my opinion the most important is that even thought a construction needs too much works and damage to the environment, this construction and its ecologic proposal didnt made a several damage to the environment.

Another benefit is the new proposals of education and also the new optimization of learning and opportunities to express, my new school projects basically want students to be prepare for better things in future and to make conscience in people for taking care of the environment. For different grades, different classes were implemented such as Choice Theory, Chinese or French and for 10th and 11th grade a class that emphasizes in their future universities. Most everything in Rochester School is constructed with ecological things, walls, floor, painting, etc are ecologic. My new school site is not already done, it need some things in structure to be finish like the Inspira center. In these 2 months that I have class I went to field trips with the school like the one to Pionono for learning about nature and to a roll play for learning about different theater plays. Also in my new school we had a Bake Sale, a celebration of Halloween and a cultural Friday. Rochester School is certificating in Leadership and Energy and Environmental Design which means to have a green construction said Andres Ramirez which gives a benefit of school for being recognized by being friendly with the environment.

I believe this new school site will be an excellent opportunity for every student that is in Rochester School or that want to enter to it. It is a site where new anecdotes, friends, memories and more things are going to be in our minds for the rest of our lives. This school will be one of the most fascinating, ecological and wonderful schools in Latin America. This new site will be a place to enjoy, to grow personally, to learn and to have beautiful experiences. It will be a new opportunity for every student; it will be a possibility for every person to be better. Also I will like that every people appreciate things as Sergio Lopez thinks The Rochesteriano appreciates the knowledge I hope that every person that meets with this new opportunity learn to appreciate things that are done for them and that this year and the coming ones be enjoyable, grateful and unforgettable.

The Story of Cupcakes

Have you seen something more delicious than a cupcake? Had you ever wonder to know how this cake was invented? Or either you wanted to know why it is called like this? Well, I am going to explain the process of cupcakes creation, help you figure out this and more things about cupcakes, its history, its purpose, etc. Probably after reading this article you will like to eat one or prepare one and I hope you are totally sure of where does cupcakes come from, when, where and how did they were first made and invented. Cupcakes nowadays are used as decoration in parties, for having a good time while making them, for giving them as gifts, for buying and selling them and for other things, but previously they were made by housewives for cooking something sweet and creative. The cupcake was created in the United States in the 19th century and it was a great invention because of the amount of time it saved in the kitchen and how easy it was to cook. In the 19th century, housewives used the measure of a cup for making cupcakes but while times change and different things were invented the way to do them and the measures also changed. According to the Food Timeline Web housewives used two different ways for cooking cupcakes There are two theories: The cakes were original cooked in cups and the ingredients used to make the cupcakes were measured out by the cup. In the beginning, cupcakes were called "number" cakes, because they were easy to remember by the measurements of ingredients it took to create them: One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour, four eggs, one cup of milk, and one spoonful of soda. Cupcakes are called like this because its name means cake in a cup all because its old preparation. Since cupcakes creation, cupcakes have become a pop culture in the culinary world. They have being created lots of shops devoted to create cupcakes and sell them. And also when cupcakes evolve many different ways, decorations and flavors appear for making them. Cupcakes first mention was in 1796, when Amelia Simms used this term for a "tart cooked in small cups" in her book American Cookery. Also in Eliza Leslie's recipe Seventy-Five Recipes for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats published in 1828. In the 21th century, the cupcakes were fashionable in the United States. Cupcakes received so much publicity in Sex and the City. And in 2010 many people published books of how to make cupcakes. Cupcakes had pass though many changes during these years making them each day more delicious, nowadays you can find different ways of making and decorating them in cooking books and also on internet. Its creation was for cooking easier and for husbands for being happy about what was prepared for them, cupcakes have a large history and many different presentations. These little cakes are the most wonderful experience on food, they are easy to do, they are not expensive and you could do them easily in your own home or you can buy them in many different bakery stores. Personally I love to do them because they are delicious and I can have a good time with my friend while making each cupcake and I can teach others how to do them and also give them as gifts.

27 Years Ago Disaster

Do you remember what happened 27 years ago? Dont you remember the suffering of many people on November 13 of 1985? Or perhaps you were there? Well, although I wasnt there on November 13 of 1985, I am going to describe you what happened that day according to what my family has told to me and what I have found about the tragedy. On November 13 of 1985 the Armero tragedy occurred, it was a natural disaster produced by the volcanic eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz in Tolima, Colombia. In this tragedy approximately more than 30.000 people died all because the government decided not to tell them what was going to happen with the Nevado del Ruiz. The pyroclastic flows emitted from the volcanos crater melted a 10% of the mountains glassier, sending 4 enormous lahars down the mountain at 60 km/h and then the lahars took place to the 6 bigger rivers in the volcanos base. The town of Armero located at 50 km of the volcano was hit by the lahars making that 20.000 died that night. 11

Remembering Armero; Sent by Maria Alejandra Cote

This tragedy could have been avoided, although the eruption was inevitable, millions of people could have been saved if the government had warned them of what was coming, because after the tragedy, it emerged that the first signs of smoke on the volcano were issued in September 1985, so the government had the time to warn people and make an evacuation plan, but they didnt and thats why nowadays we regret this tragedy. Personally, I think the Colombian government is directly involved with the deaths of these people because it was a foreseeable catastrophe. A banner at a mass funeral in Ibague read "The volcano didn't kill 22,000 people. The government killed them. The relief efforts after the tragedy occurred were difficult to make because of the huge mud that has covering the town and the huge gas emission that was still covering the town and after 12 hours the savers could help people who still alive. In addition to the suffering already caused, the fundraiser of money to rebuild the town was spent on other things.

That night of November 13 of 1985 at 9:09pm the Nevado del Ruiz ejected dacitic tephra more than 30 kilometers into the atmosphere, but at 11:00 pm the lahars arrived to Armero. If you go to Armero you can still hear the cries of help from people said Aida Murad de Albornoz. When the avalanche arrived to the town all was quiet and after too, is true what they say, after the storm comes the calm said Miguel Jaluf (Survivor from Armeros tragedy), When the lava reached us, it felt as if I was suspended in the air for a second and then had fallen back said Layla Jaluf (Survivor from Armeros tragedy). Maybe you had hear many stories about this tragedy and maybe the most famous the one of Omayra Sanchez, a girl who was trapped under rubble and mud for three days which died for gas gangrene and hypothermia and the truth about this story is that Omayra could probably be alive if the government had responded to the request for a water pump to drain water quickly where she was so people get her out of there, but there was no response from the government since the image of the girl gave great publicity. And there are thousands of stories like this one that are not so popular or recognized. I truly believe that one day these kinds of tragedies can be avoided, that people will realize the harm they do to society and all they do for citizens cease to believe in our government. This tragedy is lamentable; many things could have been avoided but thanks to the negligence of some people there were many others affected by the disaster. There are many things not yet known and its important that we as citizens do something as community and avoid many problems. This tragic story turns 27 years of having occurred this year and I hope many people are able to go and visit Armero and see what they can remember about that wonderful town. It is unfortunate that despite efforts, this wonderful town full of memories and anecdotes has not been able to fully lift. 27 years of the history of a town, huge years of stories to remember. 12

World War l and Russian Revolution

Have you wondered what the causes of World War I were? Or why did the Russian Revolution occur? Or either what is the connection between these two? In history class this year students of 9th grade of Rochester School addressed these two issues that were catastrophic to the world, the First World War and the Russian Revolution. I will explain what I had learn in class, what were the causes of these two events, why are they called like this, the connection between these events and some other things of interest. The First World War was an event that happened between July 28, 1914 and November 11, 1918 and passed between major European powers because they wanted to extend their territories. The Russian Revolution was an event that overthrew the czarist regime of the 19th century. These two events were primarily in Europe, Asia and Africa. The World War I started when Francisco Fernando was killed on July 28, 1914. The conflict was because of the imperialism of external politics of different power like the AustroHungarian empire, the Russian empire, etc. Then many other countries start to participate in the war like EE.UU, Japan, Africa, etc. And two big groups formed: The Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance. The World War I was called like this because it had involvement of fighters from different countries. The Russian Revolution occurred because Russia had an autocratic and repressive government because of Czar Nicolas II, the Russian Revolution causes different revolutions which finished with the Czar regimen and destroyed Russia. And thats why Russia left the World War I.

The connection between these two events is that Russia had several problems years ago before the World War I started and when the World War I began, the Russian Revolution also but in the middle of the World War I. When the Russian Revolution started Russia weakened and had to withdraw from the First World War because the government had many problems with the citizens. Russia was a great participant in the World War I because it was many political and economical revenge with different countries and also Russia was part of the Triple Entente which won the battle without Russia. Russia was weak so thats why the government decided to translate its government into a socialist and soviet nation in which citizens have the right to vote and other things. The World War I and the Russian Revolution ended with the sign of The Treaty of Versailles which said that Germany had all the fault of the war and that need to play to the Triple Entente. These two events were catastrophic for the humanity and for the whole world. These events marked part of history and thats why nowadays we remember this as events to regret because many people were involved and died.

The City Of The Future

Can you imagine how Bogota will be in 50 years? What will change and what will happen with all of us? I am going to describe you how could Bogota look like in 50 years and some things that are going to be better. Bogota and the whole world are in constant improvement and many things are changing and improving including housing, technology, health, clothes, sports, food, world relations, transportation entertainment and many other things. Different things are going to appear In our cities by the increase of knowledge in people, things are going to change in many different aspects. According to a research made by Discovery Channel, homes in the future will be greener because people will have more environmental awareness and will want to help repair the damage they are doing to the environment at this moment and this will be viable thanks to new renewable energy resources. Health will specialize in improving patient health through high automation of the tools. The technology will be based on the use of the Internet to communicate with different people around the world making easier the communication with different cultures.

Sent by Maria Alejandra Cote

Also food will change because it will be not so natural, it will be more artificial by the use of technology while making food. Sports will become some more difficult but some others easier, there will be galactic things because it is expected that the Earth could have a connection with the moon. World relations will be easier because you will communicate with different people in just a second. Also transportation will advance, as we have seen on movies, cars in the future are expected to fly. In Bogota different things will advance but is expected that not so fast as in other countries that have more resources and technology for doing more things better and faster. In 50 years some things will improve and some others will be not so good, some things will advance and some others will stay the same. People are going to have more knowledge about many different things and will enjoy and have the opportunity of meeting with different things and circumstances. As we see, many things are going to appear and personally I expect that people can use things as they are suppose to be use and give the new technology a good use and not for harming others or inventing things that are not good for a society or for kids and persons that will live in that near future. Great minds are the heart of a great community.

What I Learned in Chinese

Where am I learning Chinese here in Colombia? It is so difficult or is not that bad? I am going to describe you what I have learned this year in Chinese class. In Rochester School, as a 3rd language the directives decided to apply either Chinese nor French. I personally decided to choose to learn Chinese because I think that for me is easier to learn French later in any academy here in Bogota than learning Chinese in the future because here in Colombia there are not so many places for learning it and also because for me Chinese its going to be a very important language in the future world relations. I am learning Chinese for approximately 3 months ago and I have learn how to write, recognize and pronounce different basic words that can be useful in a conversation with a person from China. In Chinese class I have learn basic things, I have learned the numbers from 1 to 100, the parts of the body and the necessary words and phrases for having a conversation with someone. Also I learned how to write the numbers and how to write the parts of the body. My teachers name is Bei Tian, she also had teach parts of the verb to be in Chinese. Also I learned the way to write each character in Chinese because in Chinese the way of writing has an special path. In Chinese there is no alphabet, they have approximately 6000 characters that represent a word, there are no individual letters. Each character represent something determinate and each word for depending where is located, for example when we talk about parts of the body if you are talking about the head the way of writing and pronouncing the word is similar to the way of writing and pronouncing hair. It is impossible for us to learn all the characters that Chinese has because kids in China learn 30 new words each day they go to school starting from kindergarten while my class and I will learn approximately 15 new words each quarter. I think that having either Chinese nor French in our school Is a great opportunity for learning. Not only how to talk a different language but also for knowing more about different cultures. It is a great advance for the school and it is a great opportunity for future negotiations in our future works. I expect I will know more about different people and the way they live by learning more each Chinese class. Ni jiao W de mngz jio mlyy l hng d l (Hola mi nombre es Maria Alejandra) I hope that with learning this new language many doors can open for me, that my classmates and I learn many different things and that I could possible talk relatively goo this language.

The Most Interesting News Story

Had you ever experienced such severe pain that you dont know what is? Or maybe have you realize that you are in many problems that you dont know what to do? Well, my brother Hernan Felipe of 21, one year ago had an issue with some young boys. That problem almost cost him his life because he was near to die, but thankfully he is still alive. I am going to describe you what happened that night which was one of the most horrible days of my life because I was so worried about my brother. I think his story was very interesting because no everybody survives to an attack to the face, but fortunately he did. Hernan decided to go to the birthday party of a friend of him; the celebration was in Chia and it was in a bar. My brother and his friends began drinking until everybody was drunk and when they were dancing they met some young boys of 17 years. 20 The boys were also drunk and they were trying to begin a fight with my brothers friends and my brother. My brother and his friend werent going to stay seeing what was happening, because the guys were being rude with a girl that was with them, so they began to fight. The fight finished until the security men took out the young boys from the bar and the boys go away from there. The party finished at 5 am, so my brother and two more friends were walking to the house of another friend because in there they were going to sleep. All of them were drunk so they were walking by the street not so good, laughing and singing.

Later on they noticed that someone was following them but they didnt care about that, but what they didnt knew was that the ones that were following them were the young boys at the bar. Then my brother felt fervor in his neck and what happened was that one of the young boys broke a glass bottle and attacked him. The boy wanted to my brother with the bottle in the jugular, he wanted to kill him. But the boy inserted the bottle in my brothers cheek, ear and neck. He was drunk so he didnt release what happened in that moment, so his friends called an ambulance and the police for doing something to save him. My brother arrived to the hospital and in their doctors needed to heal the injury. While my brother was at the hospital in my house they told me what happened with him and I began to cry. I was desperate and I told that I wanted to go to the hospital and see him immediately. Fortunately when I went to the hospital my brother was sleeping and he was out of danger.
Sent by Maria Alejandra Cote

I admire him because I think he is a very strong person and from that day on he takes care of who he is talking to. It is a miracle that he is saved in this moment because at the hospital they need to heal the injury with 292 points to his face. He is an incredible person and fortunately he is by my side at this moment. That day when my brother almost died was horrible for my family and me, so I took care of him in everything he needed and the only thing that lasts from that day is the scar that he have in his face which is like a scratch. Happily he is brave enough to face things and make them look not as bad as they seem to be. He is healthy right now and thats why I think this is an amazing story.

Drug Free World

Are you afraid of the damage that drugs do to your body? Or can you imagine how easy is to get addicted to any substance? Drugs addiction is nowadays part of daily life and is an important issue we all should be aware of. It affects everyone specially teenagers because of the vulnerable stage in which they are. Social pressure is usually is the most important reason why people start trying to consume drugs and its important to tell people that its necessary to make their own decisions and not follow others. There are many types of drugs and the most common are marihuana and cocaine but there are many others that could be as risky as these two. Alcohol is considered as a drug too because of the addiction it causes to the person who consumes it as well as the cigarettes. The physical consequences an addict may have are first the dependence that he or she could create with this drug and second the drugs consume would have consequences for the persons respiratory system, for the hair, nails, teethes, etc. The brain sends signals to the body telling it that it needs the substance when at the same time it is damaging all your systems. The important thing is to avoid kids from When the person wants to stop with the addiction, the abstinence syndrome starts which means the body is very used to the drug and cant live without it. This makes that leaving the addiction is very difficult even when the person is in a treatment like rehab. 22

 Specialists say that the solution starts in the family. Talking with children is the best way of making awareness. One of the reasons why a teenager starts to use drugs is because of the social pressure. At this age, children are very vulnerable at the time of making decisions and are very controllable thats why it is important that they are informed about all the consequences that drugs may have. Another important fact, is that a teenager who has been raised in a healthy environment has less chances of becoming an addict. Normally a person who feels depressed will try these substances for filling the space they have. In conclusion, an addiction is a habit that can be prevented specially in the family and if people talk about the risks to health when using these substances. If a child feels loved and that he matters, he will probably not try to use any drug. But there are still other problems like social pressure, curiosity, wanting to experience new things, etc that may be solved by informing the person about all the risks drugs can have.

Video games and Facebook can be considered as past times because they were invented to entertain people virtually by a video console and Facebook is a social network invented for people to interact with others. Beings part of these past times has its pros and its cons. The first pro is that video games give motor skills for those who play these games and also if people play ability games in Facebook they could get these abilities too. The second pro about these 2 aspects is that by playing video games people can learn other languages and by using Facebook too. On the other hand, video games and Facebooks cons are that both can cause addiction in people and also that young people and children have easy access to pornographic material when purchasing games and also in Facebook it is easy to get material like this. Two possible solutions to the consequences that brings the use of video games and Facebook could be first having a schedule for using both and second having control of what kids are playing. Addiction to video games and Facebook are facts nowadays. There are people who play more than 10 hours video games and spend their time in Facebook. Addiction to both things lead to many several consequences and the most common is lack of social life. According to the Menendez Pelayo International University in Spain, a person gets used of social networks and that the addiction evolves when the person stimulates more virtual relations than their personality in real life. A possible solution to combat addiction to Facebook and video games is having a schedule for making use of these two taking into account that both gave benefits, the schedule should consist of maximum 1 to 2 hours a day because according to the American Academy of Pediatrics it is important to use entertainment like these but also using free time to read, hang out with friends and practice sports. According to this academy its also important to support kids or they will find video games and Facebook as escapes from real life. It is possible to use a schedule because to apply it people could try to spend time in other activities.

Video games and social networks like Facebook can be useful resources for education and kids entertainment. The problem begins when kids are able to play or see material which isnt recommended for them. There are video games which have many different naked women. In 2005, a video game called The Guy Game was defendant because an underage girl appeared showing her boobs. Also years ago in Facebook publishing pornographic content wasnt able but actually people can publish whatever they want. It isnt recommended for kids to see pornographic content because a research from Dr. Fernando Maestre kids could have predisposition to promiscuity, neglect of contraception, vulnerability to sexually transmitted diseases, among others. It is easy to see this material on Facebook and buy these games in any store. The solution for this isnt about banning the use of these things but having control of what kids are playing. Parents could pass time with kids then using social networks and also playing video games, they could see what type of games they are playing and what they see on Facebook. According to the Kids Health Organization it is also useful to view content rating, see before games or pages and play with the kids and see them and finally help children watch games from other perspectives to not believe are real.

By using video games and Facebook people could obtain abilities such as having better motor skills and learning different languages if they manage the language setting in video games and Facebook. But also it is important to be careful when using both for avoiding getting addicted to them and be careful of not seeing pornographic material. For avoiding both first having a schedule for using them is able and will give time to people spend time in other hobbies. Also for avoiding the view of pornographic content people should control the things that kids can obtain actually and is better because parents can avoid future problems and can pass more time next to their children. It is important to use technological advances responsibly for teaching and learning or otherwise people would be afraid of letting future generations using different video games, web pages and many other things.

History: World War II

In history class I learned about the World War II. It was very interesting to connect all the important moments of this war with the World War I. It seemed impossible for a war of this magnitude to happen again considering all the damages left by the first one. Millions of people died, most of them citizens proving that not even the first war was a lesson for humans to understand how much suffer can people go through only for power. It was a conflict that took place from 1939-1945, since World War L Germany was meant to be the responsible of the war so the "Treaty of Versailles" was an agreement some countries made. Because a number of economic debacles not only for the Germans but also from England and France which were unable to pay their loans to the U.S. this caused the great economic crisis of 1929. After a series of political setbacks by German parties Adolf Hitler comes to power in 1936 and it also has a very aggressive policy of expansion by annexing Germany to Austria, then Czechoslovakia, some claims based on Czech territory that had German populations. All this was tolerated because it was intended to correct past mistakes and vindicate the German people. Hitler also partners with other dictators like Benito Mussolini from Italy and Japan. The war formally broke out when Germany invaded Poland, which falls within days in German power. France and Britain declare war and make the camp of "Allies". In this side unite China, countries of the British Commonwealth and the United States and Russia by mid-conflict. The other side is the power of "Axis" with Germany, Japan and Italy. United States entered the war because Japan declares war and made an attack on the U.S. fleet in Pearl Harbor. Russia entered the war as the Germans violated an agreement not to attack and invade the Soviet colossus. It was a clear mistake because although the Germans had very rapid initial victories since Stalin, the Soviet leader, expecting an attack from Japan and its allies. Once he realized his mistake summoned the huge Soviet army what the Germans called the Russian front, after a terribly harsh winter the Germans had to retreat and this marks the beginning of the end of the war in Europe. The Americans, French and English with the Russians able to subdue the Germans and the war ended in May 1945 in Europe. In conclusion, the World War II is the example that proves that power cant be a reason why to make a war for. The damages it left were not only material but more important, it took the life of million of innocent people. At the end, the citizens are the ones who end up suffering for the governments choices. For me the totalitarianism is never a good way of governing a country because the only one who decides what the future of the nation will be, is the president or in this case the dictator. It is important people learn about this war for preventing it to happen again.

Guinness World Records!

Do you know what the Guinness World Records are? Or do you know how to apply for them? And ever have you ever wonder what type of incredible records are in here? Well, I am going to compare and contrast two of the most incredible Guinness World Records. A Guinness Record is a recognition to people who is different from others for example that they have, more hair than others, the most big breast, the longest hair and in this case I am going to talk about the tallest man alive and the smallest man alive. The tallest man alive in the world is called Sultan Kosen from Turkey and the smallest one is called Chandra Bahadur Dangi from Nepal. A similitude between them is that even though they are actually the tallest and the smallest persons in the world, they are not since the whole history of humanity, other people had been taller and smaller than they two but they already died. Also they both expected to win these recognition from the Guinness World Record because both of them were sure about their place in the world and they both said that they were sure that nowadays there is no people taller or smaller than them. Both of them have a few similarities but they have many differences, the tallest man in the world is 8 ft 3 in which is 251 cm and the smallest man in the world is 21.5 inches which is 54.6 cm. The tallest man had another two Guinness Records which are the biggest hand palm and the biggest foot. And the smallest man in the world has just that record. The tallest man in the world is a person of mid-high class in contrast to the smallest man which is a poor person. Sultan Kosen is younger than Chandra because Chandra is 72 years old. There are many different records, but I think these two are two of the most amazing because I think that these people need to fight a lot against discrimination and they need trying being part of society or even though life for them will be so difficult and still it does. The tallest and the smallest men in the world have special features that any person in the world has and that why they are part of Guinness World Records book and I think that they both are amazing because they need to fight for surviving not only in society but because they have many health problem but they still want to be alive.

Religion: Quakers
There are many different religious groups but what I exposed in Religion Class was Quakers. Do you know what Quakers are? They are a religious group known as the Religious Society of Friends. They were created by George Fox at the age of slaves. I think Quakers have a very good lifestyle and also I think they live as very honorable persons. Quakers were created by George Fox at the period of slavery because he thought that was unfair that people were owners of others. This religious group greatest population is in the United States. I learned that Quakers believe in God and in the Holy Bible but that Quakers believe in their own communication with God so they dont believe in church. Quakers support LGBT community, they create their own food, they accept blood transfers and they also think that every person has an internal light which lets them go through a well defined destiny. Quakers have a phrase that identify them because George Fox wrote it in his letter called To friends beyond the sea who still have black and Indian slaves I think that Quakers are very honest people because they want peace for everyone, I would like to meet a Quaker or also be part of this religious group because I believe in God but not in the Church because as Quakers believe, things like this are obstacles for peace in humanity. I think more people should be part of Quakers for creating a better world.

Biology: Respiratory System

Had you ever wonder how does your Respiratory System function? Or might you imagine how can you breath? In Biology class I learn how does the Respiratory System functions and in this article I am going to describe all its path and also I am going to describe why is it important to take care of our lungs which are the most important organs of this system. The Respiratory System involves also the Circulatory System because the heart is the main organ of this system and this system carries blood through all the body and blood is the one who carries blood. The respiratory system involves many organs starting from the nasal cavity by which air is inhale, then passes to the pharynx, then to the larynx, then to the trachea, then to the bronchi (all of the named before are tubes that transports air) after bronchi this organ branches into bronchioles which transport air to the alveoli where the gas exchange occur.

34

In the alveoli gas exchange occurs absorbing oxygen by capillaries and expulsing CO2 when exhaling. The alveoli is the most important organ in the Respiratory System or otherwise gas exchange wont occur. When the alveoli finish it work CO2 is expulse when exhaling and oxygen its transport by red blood cells though all blood vessels. It is important to take care about our lungs because they are where the gas exchange occur and are the direct communication with the heart. If people dont take care about their lungs they will suffer of a pulmonary edema or also they could lose the ability to breath, for example when smocking. By conclusion, our Respiratory System its a very important part of daily life for our health, it involve many organs and we could take care of them if we have healthy ways of life. People should be aware of the damage that they are doing to their Respiratory System when they smoke and they have bad habits. I think this system is also very important because its where all CO2 transformation happens for humans to survive.
