Imagen
I enjoyed studyng the "data journalism" this semester. The data journalism is a metod of investigate the public organisms of the state and the Anonymal Societates. You work with excel and dinamic tables, and visualite the results, for exaple: in one data base there is information about suicides. I analyse this data base and concluding: 30% of the persons in Chile they commit suicide. In class, we have analyse data bases and how to search and find important information to write good stories.  I investigate for this class the drought in Paine and the owners of water. I analyse the data bases of DGA (Dirección General de Aguas) for create a map of the big owners of water in Paine. Also, I reading a lot of documents and studies about the capacity of the aquifer and the drought. I like this subject because I learn to seach and find important information for the public opinion, and because I learn useful tools to exercise quality journalism.

Post 10 - Evaluation of Blog Experience

Imagen
I liked writing blogs throughout this semester. Before I thought I was not able to build a sentence in english, but with the blogs I discover what I can express in english. I learn new words and skills to write. I think my writing skills have developed a little. For example, I did not learn very well to use the past and the future in the wrtiting. I liked to include in the future more specifications about the use of past and future in the writing, and it could be debated around the topics convered in the blogs. I liked to write about journalism and their diferent types and forms, and the way to report and investigate.

Post 9: A Movie Scene I love.

One of my favorite movies is The Godfather. I've always liked mafia movies, like "Goodfellas", "Casino", "The Untouchables", etc., but my favourite movie in this topic is The Godfather, because the plot is spectacular, and is very "greek" (by the concept of destiny, Michael Corleone could not help becoming a mobster), and the movie touch the political corruption.  The film is about the life of Micharl Corleone, and his journey to become the leader of a maffia family, the Corleone. The director of the movie was Francis Ford Coppola, and act Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall and others. I saw The Godfather for the first time when I was thirteen years. I wanted to be a mobster and killing people and control all the business, but I saw it seriously last year. One of the things that I like most about the movie is its music, composite for Nino Rota.  My favourite scene is when Michael Corleone sends to kill all the heads of the other maff...

Representation of patriarchy in Breaking Bad  Walter White is a protagonist character of "Breaking Bad". Walter have cancer, and to leave money to his family, he starts to cook methamphetamine. Walter cook methanphetamine whitout caring about the damage that can be done to wis wife of his son. In one scene, the boss of Walter he tells: "the man has to support the family, regardless of wether he is criticized". By having this attitude, Walter reproduces the logic of patriarchal family, wich it is man who supports economically. Skyler -the wife of Walter- leave his job and is dedicated to laundring the money that Walt earns.  In the serie you can see how, chapter by chapter, Skyler is becoming aware of the oppression that lives, but is unable to oppose it. The relationship between Skyler and Walter progresses but they never separate, as if they were fatally united, and Skyler had to endure being maintained by Walter forever. 

Favourite Picture: The boats in the morning

My family have a house in Quintero 30 years ago. Since I was born, I go to this house every vacations.The balcony of the house faces the sea, and in the mornings we have breakfast watching the boats. My dad always dreamed of having a boat to fish, like Hemingway. Five years ago, he was founded a boat buried in the beach of Loncura. He unearthed it and he brought it to the house in a cart. The boat was buried for more than 10 years, so it was no good for fishing. As a conslation, my dad takes pictures of the boats from the balcony. This is one of his photos, and it is my favourite picture.
