Best movie I've ever seen: City of god


One of the films that has remained in my memory is City of God, a film that tries to show the crude reality that is lived in general in the marginal populations of the big cities of Latin America, particularly in the Brazilian territory. Broadly speaking, the plot revolves around a boy named Buscapé who seeks to fulfill his dream of becoming a photographer in the midst of a city where organized crime and police violence prevail. Throughout the story Buscapé will relate how he became a photographer, going through various passages of his life from his childhood to his adolescence, telling how his friends and family were dying or were imprisoned in a context of great violence in the neighborhoods as a result of drugs. In general, it could be said that the film seeks to portray how life is wasted in a context where poverty and drugs end up consuming all semblance of humanity.

A country i would like to visit

Imagen
 Personally, when I think of places to travel I think of the history and revolutionary experience of a country rather than sightseeing in places with paradisiacal landscapes. For the same reason, one of my dreams in life is to travel to Nicaragua, more than anything else because of the history that took place in that country with respect to the Sandinista revolution. The first time I heard about Nicaragua was when I was in high school and I read about Ernesto Cardenal's liberation theology. Then I researched about the FSLN, and their revolutionary experience. It is a very interesting country because it has been able to resist for a long time both the North American invasion and later dictatorships.  Anyway, if I go to nicaragua I would like to visit relevant historical sites such as the city of leon or managua, besides getting to know closely the local people and their culture. However, I would not stay to live or study because the Nicaraguan state does not provide many job or acad

Free Topic: The trumpet, my favorite instrument.

Imagen
 Playing this instrument relaxes me a lot so I do it at least once a day without fail. I usually do it in my room or in the dining room of my house, if we were in normal times I think I would be playing in some square in a band that I plan to form. The fact of playing trumpet I think it helps me to express what I can't say in words, the vibration makes my body to be in harmony with the outside. I could say that it is a therapy in times of pandemic, if I feel very anxious I distract myself from the studies improvising some happy or sad song depending on how I feel.  Something important I could mention, is that what inspired me to play this instrument was a song by chet baker called almost blue, which I listened to over and over again in my adolescence. Also miles davis was one of my references, with his rhythms and chaotic and innovative composition.

my english language challenges during this period.

Imagen
What I have liked the most about this experience of learning English at the university is that through the blogs I can expand my vocabulary in this second language. Another remarkable thing is that it has also helped me to detach myself a little from my career and think about, for example, vacations or things I like to do, relieving my anxiety a little bit. One of the aspects that I would like to improve in my English skills is to develop more vocabulary related to my career: sociology. For this, I think that more than talking to people, it is to read famous newspapers and renowned magazines in the social sciences.  On the other hand, outside of English classes I practice my English by reading international news and social science magazines. I also do it by watching videos that explain music theory. In my hobbies when I'm a bit stressed, I read English lyrics of my favorite songs and do a mini karaoke.
