Oliver Twist...

Watching this movie, I recalled all the children that are forced to work by their parents, tutors or anyone who is giving them food or a roof to sleep in. The boy in the movie, Oliver, never met to his mother, because she die when he was born. He was always under the care of strangers that were very bad persons with all the children that they were “taking care”, due to the fact that they sent all the children, no matter the age that they had, to work in order to give them money.

Oliver’s experience made me think about all the children that work at a very young age, they are sent to sell or buy drugs, or even they are sent to steal in order to get money and give it to their “tutors”. Afterwards, most of these children are involved in the drug’s world, but some others are not, are stronger and they try to move on and get out of this tragic world that will take them to the ruin of their lives.

The Signal - Man

After reading this short story I could not avoid thinking about the movie "Modern Times" by Charles Chaplin, because it also refers to the Industrial Revolution.

I believe that the train has to do with the connections among different cities, because it is a mean of transport that it is used to move things, people, animals or whatever that you would like to transport to another city or to another place.

Going back to the story itself, I have to admit that I still do not understand the Ghost that appears in it, I still can not find the point of this Ghost. It really made me feel lost while I was reading this story.

Another thing that called my attention was how the main character appreciated society. He was seeing how the progress was passing in front of him and he just was a spectator that was not able to do anything about what was going on in front of his eyes.

Franky..

While I was reading Frankenstein I felt very sad, because his life was pretty difficult. I also thought about the many times that we have discriminated people because of any reason like colour of hair, clothes, thoughts and even because of the colour of the skin.

When I read that he was abandoned by his creator I thought about all the children that are abandoned by their mothers or fathers. I can not understand how a mother can abandon to her son or daughter, I truly believe that there are not excuses to do so. There is always a way to raise a baby, maybe you have to sacrifice many things in your life, but there are banal things if you compare them to a son, to the love that a mother or father have for her or his sons, it is a love that you can not describe.

This kind of stories are very touchy for me, because as I am a mother I can not conceive, as I said before, the idea of not ing with your son or daughter, it is something that I can not forgive, because there is always a way if you really want to be with them.

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

In the poem “I wandered lonely as a cloud”, the author talks about what he likes the most in the world, which are Daffodils. I also think that he refers to nature in order to explain that people do not realize how beautiful and peaceful it can be. People do not see this, because they are focus on their problems, they are always running, thinking in themselves and working, so they do not have the enough time to look a side and see the world. People is only worried in buy things and have more and more money. Doing this, we do not realize how bad is our planet, how we have destroyed it during the centuries only because of our greed and selfishness.

Also, people spend lot of money in therapy in order to beat stress, but they do not realize that if they look at mountains, flowers, animals or anything that belong to our nature they will get better, because our environmet is the best thing that we can have and it is FOR FREE, we just have to take care of it.

"When I have fears that I may Cease to be"

When I knew that I had to talk about Death, the first thing that I thought was: Ups!, because it is a very controversial and gloomy issue to talk about. On the one hand, it is quite difficult for some people to talk about Death, because most of us is afraid of it. Specially older people, because when you get to a certain age it becomes in something inevitable, lonely and eternal. On the other hand, for young people Death is something unknown, unthinkable and also, it is something that will never reach them, due to the fact that when you are young you are invincible, nothing can happen to you, nothing will hurt you. The author of the poem was young, but he was terminally ill, so Death was something that he had to think about, because it crashed him in his face at a very young age.

The feeling that overcome him when he knew that he was going to die, was the one of being remembered. In my opinion, this is a terrible feeling that we all are going to experience when our time comes, due to the fact that we all want to be remembered for having done something, we want to think that we did not live in vain.
