3.0 novel project

I am a very good fan of Pele, and i have read 3 books of this soccer idol, and beleve me, this one had some information that the others didn't. Another great thing about this book, is the way they describe the things. Like in the world cup semifinal between brazil and england, they described how pele kicked the ball and gordon banks leaped and saved the goal, or when he won the final, and he was amid of all the crowed, and they said how they rip his shirt. Another example is when santos was playing the friendly match in africa, and there was a civil war, and only to see pele play, they made a 2 day truce. But it also explains personal things, like how he says that his 1000 goal was a very emphasis for him, also he vowed to get revenge to the lose of the amarela (brazilian national team) against Uruguay, or when he prevailed england that brazil is the champion on mexico 1970. Also when the media was saying that Pele was myopic. they tell you how he reacted and they also say quotes that he really said. Like "Goal of the plaque". If you read the book you will see why i am so interested to show you, and what was peles best tournament!

What a collage student thinks of i portfolio

           I think that if a collage student only looks at my portfolio, he would think that i am a good student, and that i am very athletic. He would think that because in all my best works, i did them very dedicated, and really learned something new of each and everyone of the assignments. Also if he reads the out of school tab, he would see that i really really like soccer. He would think of me as someone very dedicated and someone that wants to improve every time. If i didn't want to improve, then why would i go almost everyday of my life to soccer practice. And its true, i really like to improve, and i think and hope that i never stop having this thing for improving.
         If he saw the books i read, he would see that i ilk to read, but only books that i find interesting. I hate reading for an assignment, or reading basically because i have to. If I'm going to read, its something that i really like, and something that i find interesting or i want to know more about it. He would also notice that i prefer to read in spanish, but that i also like reading english books. I prefer spanish basically because i can understand better, and that gives me the opportunity to read more complex books, like magnificent books that Gabriel Garcia Marquez writes. They are very interesting, they help me to expand my vocabulary, and they are very fun to read.

World Hunger Paragraphs 2


The topic i choose, was World Hunger. The idea had always been in my mind, but i took a final decision, when my dad showed me a power point. The name was "Las dos cards de la moneda" in english, it would be "The two faces of the coin". It made me start thinking how fortunate we are, and we never seem to care about other. It basically compered to kids, one that lived in the best part of New York, and the other one was a poor kid in africa. It show the kid from New York was always saying that he didn't like this, that he didn't like that, but the other kid, he was always very thankful for everything, he was always saying yes. One slide showed the shoes of the New York kid, and he says that he didn't liked them because they were white, and they threw them away. The other kid had shoes, that were made from plastic bottles, and a rover band. Then I saw a poster that compared somethings that we always fight with your mother  for, but seen in the prospective of a kid in poverty. That simply shocked me. The only thing i could think of that day was about that.

                   The Ethos in my video, are the people that said originally said the facts that i put in the video. For example Mother Teresa said "If you can't feed 100, then feed only 1". This means that 1 person can't end world hunger, but if everyone helps a little bit, we can end this. If every one would just start thinking in the other people and collaborated just a bit, this problem can be fixed. We can finish what others generations couldn't. That were the very famous frace comes: Everyone need to put their little peace of sand. They are lots of ways to help the world. You can give your old toys in Christmas, to some that unfortunately can't have nothing for Christmas. You can donate money, clothes, what ever you don't need to charity. Helping dosent harm anyone.

                    The feelings are very clear, It makes you think, it makes you sad, and it makes you realize, how lucky you really are. It makes you think about the situation of the world. It makes you think in your position in the world. It makes you change your way of looking life, and looking the world.1 billion children live in poverty, but still we through our food. Every 6 seconds a kid dies of hunger, and still we through out our food. Next time you order food when you are not hungry, or when you buy something, just to make the simple act of buying, think in the kids of the video. The pictures are also very helpful. The music at the end probably goes a little to happy, but i wanted to use a type of music that represents the majority of us. We know the problem, we know everything, but we still don't do anything about it. This needs to change. We need to get real. We all need to start helping, if we what this to end one day, and that day we might not see, we might not be alive, but he will die knowing that he helped, knowing that someone out there has a smile on his or her face thanks to us.

                    Logos are the facts that i give through out the video.  There are not much, but they are real. No one knows non of this facts, but they are happening. Its very sad to think that we live in this little perfect world, that the biggest problem is the school. For this kids the main problem, the priority is to survive one more day, one more hour. The style is a very visual one. There are lots of pictures, sentence facts, and slow music. The point of view that this presentation is made, is the point of view of the viewer. The children that don't notice how lucky they are.

                    Thats why i choose this world problem. It is a very important, and very big world wide problem. I really think that people have to put more attention to this problem, because if the population keeps growing, and the food quantity keeps going down, we are in serious problems. This is why i think this is a very important think to change.
