the trip to Wonderland

This is a book that I read when i was 16 years old, at that age I already thaught about the life and the mysterious of the paths that it take. Thats why i fell in love with this old story. 

Alice in Wonderland - in spanish is 'Las aventuras de Alicia en el Pais de las Maravillas'- was writen in 1865 by a british man: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, know as Lewis Carroll.

The story is about a small child, that falls in a hole and in the bottom she finds a magic world where the animals talk and the time is  broken down.

This book in known generally as a children's book, but is so much more than that. The story is created in small pieces of storys that take place in Wonderland,  those scenes shows an ironic sense of humor, or a social critic, and the most important is that he play with the logic, in the language and in the order of the facts.

Wile the story goes on, the reader meets different characters, every character has a particular personality, or has something interesting to tell.

This is one of my favorite book because when i read it I laugh a lot and algo think a lot. Well, I leave you a critic from Amazon.com .

 Hugs (: !!!

 

 

Amazon Review

Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is for most children pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing "The dream-child moving through a land / Of wonders wild and new." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter, among a multitude of other characters--extinct, fantastical, and commonplace creatures. Alice journeys through this Wonderland, trying to fathom the meaning of her strange experiences. But they turn out to be "curiouser and curiouser," seemingly without moral or sense. For more than 130 years, children have reveled in the delightfully non-moralistic, non-educational virtues of this classic. In fact, at every turn, Alice's new companions scoff at her traditional education. The Mock Turtle, for example, remarks that he took the "regular course" in school: Reeling, Writhing, and branches of Arithmetic-Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Carroll believed John Tenniel's illustrations were as important as his text. Naturally, Carroll's instincts were good; the masterful drawings are inextricably tied to the well-loved story.

Sergio Larraín pictures, the trip to the magic

I'll write about one of my favorite photos, that was taken in some year that I dont know, but I'm sure that was in the 50' decade. The photo was made for the most important photograhper of our country: the talent and mysterious Sergio Larraín. Sergio was born in Santiago in 1931, and took his first photos in 1949, at the early age of 18 years. In that moment he worked with the children that lived under the bridge of Mapocho river. 

After some years of traveling, Larraín went to Europe and entry to work in the famous Magnum Agency. There he show a photography work that he made in Valparaíso. With that photos he gained all the respect of the critics and others europian artist.

For me, this is the most special photo of that brilliant work:

 

 I dont know if this photo has a name, but i know that was take in the Valparaiso beach. I think that is a magic picture, because it demonstrate a active perception that the photographer need to use to capture that instant. The magic moment when the girls are smiling on the air is something beautiful. 

Well, i leave you a photo of Larraín too (:

Tips for the trip at the JGM campus

The Palmeras entry, you have to be more careful in this entry with your drinks.

I.- Dont make Olga angry: Olga is the secretary of the ICEI, if yoy have a problem with some class and you must to resolve it quickly go to her office and be nice, because sometimes she is so mean but if you're nice she will help you and she will resolve all.

II.- Hide the alcohol: In the campus JGM you can have a party with your friends and take some shots. But, if you want to bring a bottle you have to hide it in you backbag, because at the entry is the security and they can take it away from you.

WOW, what a topic we have to do now... so... movies and series... there's so many of those that I like, but there is one serie that is so special for me, the serie is call SKINS, was made in England, specifically in Bristol city. The serie has 5 seasons, ok i have seen all of them and more than once or twice. The first and second seasons are about 9 young friends that have very particular personalities. Every episode is concentrate in one of these guys.

these is a picture of the season 1 and 2. the taller boy is Tony Stonem, my favorite caracter of that  season. And the last and blod girl is Cassie, i loveeee she!

 In the third and fourth season the character change, and in about another 9 guys, a boy from africa, two twins, one lesbian, and my favorite character ever: Effy Stonem, the most beautiful, intelligent, existencialist, insane female. Effy is the little sister of Tony Stonem, the guy in the two past seasons.

Effy Stonem. (L)

The 5 and 6 seasons are not my favorites, are really bored, they try to do something similiar but it dont result. So I will not talk about it.
