Problem/Solution composition in fiction: THE MAN ON THE EDGE

At the end "the man on the edge" has the feeling that everyone is worried about stupid things while their lives are full of sadness and frustrations so he decided that nobody should be worried about blips. In his mind he just can find a signal, a signal that says: "no one can hurt you, only you, and you don't want hurt yourself, right? so don't do this please". He was concerned for wordly things and that's fine for a while but not for the rest of him life, and much less to remove himself. Therefore he decided to continue his life and the problem of work is not really a problem because he can find another as long as he believe in himself. The fact of suicidal created a great show in TV which was deleted with time.

Global Issue: Racism

Problem paragraph:
The problem about I am thinking is racism, racism is a actual problem that is affecting a persons from all around the world. It consist in insult or hit a one person just because he or she is not from the same place as you or the same color or for different religion. Racism can be show directly so the result is that racism can grow among the population.

Solution paragraph by a partner:
Racism could be reduced speaking to an other people and making that this behaviour doesn't affect to others who come from different places don't feel the heat.

"Gakusen Toshi Asterisk"

"Gakusen Toshi Asterisk" is the actual anime that I'm seeing and is very good because a lot of reasons, for example, in every single episode I can find something new, maybe in the characters or maybe in the history. I found this anime because my cousin was seeing it and in this moment I think that it could be nice to see it. Now that I am seeing it I think that I made a good decision, I recommend that you see it. Perhaps what I like most is the development of history, there are many fights and struggles but we can also find love, mystery, adventure...
I recommend even those who don't see "anime" or cartoons like this.

Best Wishes,

Punk music VS Classic music

There are many differences between punk music and classic music, for example one of them is that classical music is more relaxing and is only necessary instruments, on the other hand, punk music is more revolutionary and active. Therefore of the pictures I have seen in class I can say that there are many differences in clothing, instruments, attitude, body posture... but there is something in common because I can see that both are concentrated. I think that classical music is more difficult to understand because it isn't tell us the things with lyrics, you have to feel the classical music and this is very important, whereas in the punk you can say things freely, without hesitation.

Lang Lang inspires me a lot.

My favourite poem. The perks of being a wallflower.

This is not an entry in which I am going to write my favourite poem (perhaps only a piece), that is not the goal. I am going to write why I like the poem and why you should read it, is your decision to or not.
As you saw in the picture my poem is part of the book 'The perks of being a wallflower', one of my favourites books. For me, this poem is part of the spine of the book and without this poem the book would not have much sense.
When I read the poem in the book I feel frustrated but at the same time I feel a deep sense of nostalgia and sadness. I'm serious guys, I hope you feel encouraged to read this poem.
I will write a small part of it.

"Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines
   he wrote a poem
And he called it "Chops"
   because that was the name of his dog
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
  and a gold star
And his mother hung it on the kitchen door
   and read it to his aunts
That was the year father Tracy
   took all the kids to the zoo
And he let them sing on the bus
And his little sister was born
   with tiny toenails and no hair
And his mother and father kissed a lot
And the girl around the corner sent him a
   Valentine signed with a row of X's
   and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
And his father always tucked him in bed at night
And was always there to do it

Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
   he wrote a poem
And he called it "Autumn"
   because that was the name of the season
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
   and asked him to write more clearly
And his mother never hung it on the kithcen door
   beause of the new paint
And the kids told him
   that Father Tracy smoked cigars
And left butts on the pews
And sometime they would burn holes
That was the year his sister got glasses
   with thick lenses and black frames
And the girl around the corner laughed
   when he asked her to go see santa claus
[...]"

My opinion about Bullfighting.

(http://www.igualdadanimal.org/tienda/producto/bolsas/promo-especial-bolsa-torosvivos-taza-yodefiendo/)

Bullfighting should be removed. This is an issue about many people speak but little is said, it is a sad tradition in Spain and it consist of killing an animal to death while a few look at it. I always think that what people need is more empathy because if you put yourself in the skin of the bull you may notice awe and fear. I hope that one day everyone realizes this and do something about it. Please. 

We have to think that all animals have to be safe and have to feel that this world belongs to them as much as it belongs to us too. When I think in bullfighting I can't avoid to think about torture and sadness and all those feelings that no one want to feel in the their lifes because I know, our lifes are perfect without pain but the lifes of the bulls are more beautiful too without sadness and the torture that the humans are doing in themselves.

Best Wishes,

Describing a person and peer response

I'm going to describe someone who is very important for me and I like to take care. He is a twister, one day maybe you can find him crying, another day laughing. This is the most important thing that I have to say about him, and I like it. But sometimes It gets hard and hurts because you're looking at him and you know he is crying (maybe inside) but you can't do anything, and I know that I am not the best person in this world but It is how I'd do something. He is special too because when he is sad or he doesn't want to talk with you, you can find him in one place, maybe always the same, playing videogames.

Peer response by Incihar Hotamar
I really like the way you convey the feeling in this paragraph; the way you set the mood is very good. However there are some small problems, such as the part that starts with "I am not the best person in this world", that part is not very clear as I am having trouble understanding that sentence. Also your conclusion doesn't have a solid ground so it doesn't sound like you are done writing. But all in all, even though you have problems of clarity, the tore you've set in the beginning coways the message nicely.

How do you feel about 'Guernica'?

"Guernica shows the tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon individuals, particularly innocent civilians. This work has gained a monumental status, becoming a perpetual reminder of the tragedies of war, an anti-war symbol, and an embodiment of peace. On completion Guernica was displayed around the world in a brief tour, becoming famous and widely acclaimed. This tour helped bring the Spanish Civil War to the world's attention." 

I feel chaos and war, and fire inside me. I can feel the fire inside me when I see the Guernica. I see tears, dry tears because of pain. I don't wanna see this paint, I don't wanna have this feeling. I don't like my feelings, just pain and maybe thoughts. I don't like those thoughts. This paint makes me feel sad, I don't wanna live in a world like this. I don't wanna see this anymore. I don't wanna feel this anymore.

Best Wishes,

"Like a long bout with some painful illness"

Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. — George Orwell

I want to talk about this quote by George Orwell. I know George Orwell by '1984' and 'Animal Farm' and I love the way he wrote. Also, I decided talk about this quote because I feel the same, I mean, I am completely agree with him. 

I am not a person who writes a lot, at first maybe because I don't have much time and the time I have I prefer read or doing another thing but is true that sometimes I decide write, and maybe the reason is because I feel well if I write, I feel free and happy.

There are times when I started to write a book but them I had some failures ideas and I was not sure about I was writing so I decided stop with it, but I also understand the need to do it. 

Now I'm writing something, the only thing about I can be constant, my diary. 

I have to say that maybe I have a diary because I don't like to tell my things to anyone, I just simply prefer write and just. Done. I write about everything, my life obviously but music and books too, tickets of concerts, cinema, theatre, everything. Simply my life in this book. 
At first, I was not sure and I was no constant but if you choose a beautiful notebook maybe you can increase your desire to write.

Best wishes, Effy.
