The Adventures of Jerry Muskrat

Link of the audio book This is an audio book which is highly recommended. To be honest I get easily distracted by anything is in front of me. At the beginning of the first audio or chapter I was getting a little bit distracted because I was digging into random thoughts, however, after 2-3 minutes the audio got me. Now, I would say, I am digging the audio a  lot. First of all, the voices that I heard were warm and cool. All of them made me feel as if I were the one reading and feeling the story. Their performance was actually way good and I would say that was what got me. I am an English learner and I have been learning English for about 2 years and I think this audio book is understandable and enjoyable for learners. I am gonna keep listening to it.

Human Zoos: America's Forgotten History of Scientific Racism

Link of the video This documentary was kind of scary but still a reality that is part of history. I am glad to have taken "Literatura hispanoamericana" because now I know lots of historical facts that belong to where I live "Colombia".For example Cartagena being the place where these africans arrived first and North  America in which all of the racism grow and grow more. Now, for me it is easier to understand why racism is and has been such a huge and complex word. Since the beginning of the early years, people have been finding ways to feel superior and better than others. Thinking that the white stuffs, the foreign stuffs and stuffs that come from Europe are the ones that worth the most. That horrible mentaility is the WHY discrimination is still around us. Even more excting, the ones that are the first and the owners of the land are the idigenous peoples. YESS!! the ones that have less rights, that have less economical opportunities and are most ignored b...

Have you ever considered suicide?

Video about suicide Vocabulary Burden wrist icky / ˈɪki/  taboo Expressions Dark seasons Ideas Keeping ourselves busy Nobody cares about us if i am death they will probably care Learning to love myself Why would you keep on trying if nothing makes you happy anyway. I am almost sure everybody has been through difficult phases that may seem to be endless or infinitive. We might feel quite stress and overwhemling that we do not see beyond that crisis and we just fell down and let all of the bad thoughts and feelings come and fill into our heads. In light of these desesperate moments, we reckon that the only way to finish the pain and the awful thoughts is through suicide. I have been those awful phases in which I feel I desaointed my mum and dad and if they do not believe in myself I did not, so there will be no reason to be alive. However, I did not consider tha fact of doing it, like the moment but the thoughts and feelings of thinking that I was not enough for an...

After mum died, no-one talked about her for 15 years

Article The father  was really strong to take a decision between taking care of his wife who was sick or raising  just born child. Even thought he tried really hard to be supportive for her. Her illness I think it is one of the worst because it is something that you cannot control even if you want to. Well, not even with medicines. Regaring that fact, Our head is so complex and powerful that It seems slighly imposible to control it. I was quite captivate by how the woman changed throghout the time. First of all, she had some strange thoughts, then she got recovered and then she was extremely happy and became manic. Then, this strange call about her dead. I reckon this was an interesting story and regrding the fact that everyody gets problems, I blieve everybody always finds a solutions to recover from it even if it is a death or a scam or a broken heart. The human being is quite strong and with time he/she can cope anything. This story is a prove of it.  What do ...
