Letter...

Dear Pablo,




It is a pleasure to share one of the most precious memories with you. When I was twelve years old, my sister, my father and I, used to take long walks on sundays. It was September. I remembered that in one of those occasions, we went to "Parque O'higgins". We watched the most beautiful show of the year: "kites season". Everything was perfect: sunny weather, family time, kids running all over the place. The most important: my father's smile. 
I remember all the different colours of that day. Kites flying in the sky beautifly. When I remember that, brings me peace and quite again. I hope that this memory makes you feel the same as me, 
warm regards,
Fran.

What About Capitalism? (Homework)


For some people capitalism's influence has become in a big issue. We have an everyday struggle in terms of achievments. People fail to see the difference between what they need and what they not. Advertising it's a real powerful surce in today's society, involves feelings in their campaigns and makes us feel just exactly how they want for us to feel. That's what happened with the leader girl in "Shopping for one", she listens to those women talk about their families and realizes that she's completely alone. She need to look at her basket, sees that she's buying just for one and compare herself with those women and finaly think that she is in a different track. That she need to get away for a second and think where she really is, what kind of life does she wanna live. Those are just a few of the consequences that Mr. Sicious mention last week about the influence that capitalism has on us. We completely forgot what we are, our essence. Even if we need the money to survive, to reach things, the different uses that we gave to the money makes us to be apart from people.
Although, we need an economic system to live orderly, we must be aware of it. Do not get lost along the way. But don't forget that money should be the way to get things beacause we deserve to have access to a better life, but this has not become in the gold of our lifes. Realizing that we live in a world with more people in, wich we need to share with everyday to keep surviving.
