There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more...
(Lord Byron)

Latin Americans Stereotypes

   Hello classmates, now I'll talking about the  Latin Americans Stereotypes. An stereotype is a imaginary of a collectivity, that it is based in a characteristic bad generally. I think that for the case of Latin American, exist more stereotypes bad that good, although just I know a few, as for exemple: The chileans are thieves, the peruvians are dirty but they speak right, the colombians are narcos, the brazilians are always happy and horny, the argentinians are arrogant and exaggerated, the venezuelans are pretty.

   I think, that these stereotypes exist because the people unconsciously we classify to other persons, for like this, we can remember them. Specially to Latin American, the most developed countries see us of form negative because we are less advanced than they. But also between us, we see us with grudge, because we are part of a history in common, that maybe it’s the culprit of old quarrels.

   I have never traveled to other countries for I can know exactly how they view us. But of long ago, is knew that Chile have a very bad stereotype, for example, the Europeans view us as thieves. Specially for the relations that now Chile have with some neighbors countries, I think they see us like a haughty, because many they come here to find a best future.

   I think that the stereotypes of different groups of Chileans that exist, are given by their place of proceed, for example, if anybody come from the country, always there is somebody who sees him as fool and coarse. Also exist stereotypes given by the clothes style and the group of friends that anybody have, for example the urbans tribes.   

   Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.

Cartagena: My favourite bay.


   Hello classmates, now I’ll talk about my favourite beach: Cartagena. This beach is localized in the cove of same name, and it is part of many bays of central litoral of Chile, and for terms political and administrators, it pertain to the Comuna of Cartagena, of the Province of San Antonio, which integrate the fifth region of Valparaíso.
   I don’t go often to this place, but in general, it is the that I have visited with more frecuency since I was kid, in fact, it is the holidays destination that more I remember. However, I go every summer to this bay, which is equivalent to one time for year. And exactly the last time that I visited it, went this summer, in the week second of january.
   When my family and me we arrived there, we stayed in the house of one uncle, dad’s brother. To us we like go in the morning to harbor of San Antonio for to buy fresh fish for the lunch. Later, in the afternoon we down to the beach for sit or sleep over the sand, bathe or at least wash a little the feet in the water. Also we like go to know the other nearby beaches.  
   I love this beach, because it is the nearest to the Santiago city, and for this reason, it is the most economic for to visit. Also I like all the history and cultura that this place have, for exemple, the fact that it pertain to the coastal zone called “The  litoral of poets”, becuase it is the city of Vicente Huidobro.
   Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.
