People and their Wants

 In life there is always a want and a get. Some people want it and other’s need it. People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different.  The people that want something more are selfish. For example, the famous and rich people have everything they want, but they still want more material things. This type of people are never satisfied and always want more and more. They try to find happiness in having material things, but they still feel unhappy inside. They should help people or try to do something productive and giving. The people that want something different in their lives are the lazy ones. For example, the people that depend on  government help, and  they just stay at home  doing nothing. These  people want something different in their life, but they don’t do anything to obtain it. They want good things, yet they are maintained by the government. This people should try to get a job to get what they want. In conclusion, people are never satisfied. Even when they have it all and when they don’t. This people should think that there is people that have a lot less than them. There is a lot of poverty  all around the world. The people that are never satisfied should think what is around them, rather than thinking of themselves.

Everyone is Beautiful

Many people believe that being beautiful is all about being skinny like the models in big successful magazines. They believe that the only beauty in someone is their physical appearance, but what about their inner beauty? What about the beauty everyone has inside because of who they are and what they do? Some of these thoughts don’t come to many people specially girls who have low self steam, because they believe their ugly because they’re not as skinny as the models in “Vogue” magazine. That’s when eating disorder comes and attacks the health of young women and men trying dangerous methods to loose weight, like vomiting or losing appetite on purpose. This is called bulimia and anorexia, these are two terrible diseases that exist within the mind of a person that thinks their ugly because their fat or doesn’t have what it takes to become beautiful for society. Society maybe has a certain image of what beauty can be, but that’s just an imaginary beauty. Beauty is everyday life, real things, happiness, laughter, comprehension, friendship, faith, etc… That’s real beauty, the one you can feel inside and the one everyone should see because it’s inside of everybody, and that’s what makes us unique. By practicing dangerous methods to be skinny, this only makes the body weak and damages our inner and exterior beauty. 

Querencia

My querencia, or place where I can feel safe and relax it can be very usual, but it is my home. When I'm in my house I feel relaxed, like nothing could ever bother me. At the first minute I enter my home I already feel safe. I love my house because it is located near mountains and rivers. It is a very quiet neighborhood and when the rains fall, it falls flawless and beautiful. It calms me to see the rain fall form my room's window. The dawns are so radiant it makes me breath peacefully. Other good thing about my house it that it doesn't have a good reception for cellphones. Many people don't like that, but I just like it because is like when I'm home nothing can trouble me. I love going outside to the backyard because there I play sometines soccer with my little brother. I have too in the backyard differet kinds of plants who I enjoy taking care of them. I also very much enjoy playing and walking my dogs around the neighborhood. The air always smells fresh and clean. 

When christmas is near everyone in the neighborhood decores their house with beautiful lights and ornaments. Simply when it is entered the street to my house everything seems like a wonderland of lights, I love spending christmas time in my house because of this. Summers are not too hot but some days I have to shower like five times because of the heat. But in the fall and winter it is so cold I sometimes put gloves and a jacket inside my house. I love returning home every weekend and then when is time to go back to college I wish I could stay there just a little bit longer. 

About Me

Hello, my name is Katheline Ramos and I'm a student in the University of Puerto Rico Recinto of Mayaguez. Something about me is that I love music and swimming that's my favorite sport. I'm from Ponce and have lived there my whole life. I think Ponce is a beautiful city and I love to say I'm from Ponce. I'm studying a mayor in General Agriculture because I believe that nature is very important but people just hasn't realized that. I love nature and I love the fact that it is God's gift for us because it gives us everything that we need to survive. The problem that I find in society is that it doesn't protect nature the way it should be and it is very blind with the ambition to make money and material things, without noticing that without food or water we are nothing. One day I hope to be an agronomer and veterinarian, because I also like helping and curing animals. I consider myself as a honest, funny, kind and outgoing person. I'm a little clumsy, I'm always falling almost everywhere I go, I just consider falling as something normal in me. I like helping and making people smile because that way I feel comfortable and good about myself and that just makes me happy and smile too. Well does were some things about myself, hope I could meet you all this semester.

Photo Analysis

The people present in this photo are from left to right my brother, me, my grandfather, my father, who is holding my nephew, and my sister. My family and I were all celebrating my nephew’s Baptism. This was a very important religious celebration for my family since we all believe very strongly in the sacraments. All the people present in this photo are very important to me starting with my brother he’s 11 years old and he likes to annoy me a lot. We fight because of this sometimes, but we love, protect and defend each other always. On my right side of me is my grandfather he’s an episcopal bishop. In the ceremony he was the one that did the baptism of my nephew. I don’t see very often my grandfather, because of his job he travels a lot. But when I get to see him in special occasions like this one, I know he will always be there in the important moments in life. My father is a very dedicated working man that has always looked out for the best for my sister, my brother and I. He and my mom divorced 10 years ago, but he always comes to visit my brother and I in the weekends. He is always reminding us to do always good to others, look out for the best in every single person and to not judge people for their mistakes. He’s quite serious and doesn’t laugh that much, sometimes we do not understand each other. But I know he loves me and just wants the best for me. My nephew as you can see is a beautiful baby boy. In the picture he is crying because he was scared of my grandfather’s hat. He’s 1 year old and is a very agile, and intelligent baby. I love him very much since is my first nephew. And finally is my sister. She’s a very calm and patient woman. I would like to learn that from her because I’m very lack of patience. She’s a very nice and humble person. I love her very much and she is very important to me because she’s my big sister and I know we can count on each other with anything.

Reflexion on What is Happening to Lybia

            What is happening right now at present time to the country of Libya is a very painful, sad and horrible moment. Libyan people are being killed and abused for no explainable reason. They just want to have the necessary things that every human being wants and needs to have; and that’s freedom. They are denied to have the freedom to choose what to wear, where to go, who to be, what to say, what to do, etc. People in Libya can’t have or experience this freedom tasks. But there tyrant governor Gadaffi can have them. It is a situation that is just not fair. How can one person rule a country so mean and oppressively? Only one person… is just stupid to think that some old guy is killing and abusing the people of Libya. The army that follows this tyrant is just repulsive because they are killing their own people, their own land; the land where they were born. This situation resembles the one that passed in Germany with Hitler killing massively all the Jewish living in Germany. The U.S government wants to intervene because we are all humans, we are all equal. No matter where we are from, we all live in the same planet and is just not fair that some tyrant rules Libya brutally and abusively. The people of Libya are only trying to gain their freedom and basic human rights. It matters to the entire world what is happening to them, because today they are them tomorrow it can be us. Humans should fight for their basic rights and needs and it should matter to everyone what this people are passing through. As humans we should have solidarity and compassion for this hard and sad situation. We should try our best to try to help our fellow neighbors like USA and all the nations united are trying to do. We shouldn’t be indifferent to this situation because that is just wrong. I admire USA and all the countries that are allied to help this cause. I hope this resolves very soon.

Blog assignment #5: Similarities

            Edgar Allan Poe’s poem Annabel Lee is about a woman that he loved profoundly but someone then kills her and he is destroyed by this. Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem is about the despair of a king and his kingdom is based on pain and sadness. The song “Dust in the Wind” by the band Kansas, is about a love relationship that doesn’t care anymore about each other and break- up. So all that’s left for them is like dust in the wind. These three pieces of literature have in common that in the atmosphere it rules pain, sadness and despair in love. The theme that predominates these poems is solitude, because in every one of them the person to love has died or gone away. Shelley’s poem is a little bit confusing but it mainly talks about a king who has left his kingdom in pain and loneliness. So generally the three of them represent love going wrong and ending up.
