A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

The favorite place that I would like to visit is japan; why?, because is a far place, with a complete different language that we cannot understand, even though we try to put attention carefully. The way that they write with kanji, the form that they eat, without knife and fork, the way that they used to be dressed in the past, all are different and very interesting things; it would be like a great adventure to visit them, with a complete different culture like we have.  I would like to eat their meals and taste sake, their typical drink, and I would like to visit places where is practiced aikido, Japanese martial arts. It is like a spiritual doctrine of perfection, persistence, repetition of movements to reach the perfection balance within energies. All this things that I have described now and more are the powerful reasons to visit japan; their extremely patient and dedication to make some things like origami or the haiku, typical Japanese poem. Especially I would like to visit Japan because my favorite writer is Kawabata, a Japanese famous writer who has written some novels and he won the novel price of literacy in 1968. For those and more reason Japan is an unavoidable destiny for people who like to visit places with ancient cultures and modern life, but I wouldn't like to live or study there because it would be very difficult to became accustomed.

Similarities and differences on book-based movies

There are a lot of movies that there are based in books, some of them are famous, others not at all. I think that some of those movies are complete different of the books, so we don’t have to be expecting and plenty of hope because we could be a little disappointed. Some time, the movies are like a different world, with different names of characters and other kind of events, even though a different final of the movie. So I think that it is complete necessary to read the book first to be a critic opinion of the movie, and if we want to enjoy and laugh about the adaptation we can go to the cinema but, take it easy, it is only an adaptation, it is not the book. But I thing that there are good book adaption´s movies that we will be satisfied, like The Lord of the Ring, because the book was the fundamental base for the director to creates and imagines the movie. The book was important for the esthetic, for example, the landscape, the native language that the characters speak in same scenes. Now, I think it is impossible to read the book without an image of the movie. I think that some kind of these movies has been received in a good way but others, the most are very hard criticized, depend of course of the audience.

My ideal job

My ideal job is that I am studying for: nursery school teaching and primary school. But I know that I need more degrees and post-grads to create something special; I want to be a director of a nursery school, where children learns Mapudungun language like theirs first language mother, and Spanish like the second language for them; in this way, it would be recover the number of Mapudungun speakers, and the risk of danger of going extinct of my language will be reduce. I know that I have to study a lot, I have to be prepare to became myself  in a specialized professional in different areas like intercultural education, management of resources, didactic ways of learning and teaching of second languages.

I would be good at this job because I know the urgent necessity of recovering Mapudungun in mapuche children, it is the only one thing that I am sure I can do and I have to do because that the aim that I have begun to study my career at the university, that´s my objective.

I think that it would be very difficult at the beginning because I cannot do this idea without help; I need more specialist and prepare persons in formal education and in traditional language and culture teachers, professional people, and specially we need resources to start this job.
