Some information about Michael Jackson´s films

The King of Pop, besides his famous career as a singer, he participated in many movies, which are important: The Wiz (1978), which is an American film musical directed by Sidney Lumet and performance by Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell and Richard Pryor. The film is an adaptation of the Broadway play of the same name. His role in this movie was as a scarecrow. The second one is Captain EO (1986), which was a mini filming recorded by Disney in order to show it in their theme parks (Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris). The third one is Moonwalker (1988), a film that is must indispensably watched by Michael Jackson´s fans. It was thought and produced by the singer in 1988 and, although it mixes a fiction history against drugs and abuse of children by traffickers, is a good compilation of his songs of his disc “Bad”. The last one is not recognised like a film, but a documentary: This is it. It covers his preparation, the recorded material while he was trying out to his performances in London 2009. It was a box-office video. It was said that it stayed only two weeks in cinemas. In addition of that, it is important to say that he had some small roles, such as in Men in Black II (because he admired Will Smith), in where he transformed in an alien, or in a bad film called Miss Naufragio (Mist Cast Away). Also, he could have acted as Edward Scissorhands or Xavier in X-Men.

Statue of Liberty poem

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

“Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she

With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

This poem was written by Emma Lazarus in 1883. 

Are you green?

Modern teenagers are supposed to be very environmentally conscious but I do not think so because of several reasons.

On the one hand, they think and do everything to be respectful, they throw rubbish into bottle bank, the do no buy pollution products, they take to the streets when something about air pollution is not respected… They do their best to battle the fight against non-conscious people, and this is awesome. On the other hand, when they hang out with their friend by night, they drink still get drunk. Thus, they leave or break bottles as they were crazy, leaving the environmentally topic behind, disturbing the balance. As a consequence, they pollute the surroundings, doing what they did not want people did.

However, I consider myself like a green person. I recycle every day, throwing away rubbish in each trash can, plastic into the yellow, glass into the green and paper into the blue. I take seriously the air pollution because each year the level of the water is increasing and the average temperature is increasing as well. Another problem is the exhaust fumes that some old cars have and, fortunately, new cars do not have that big problem, they are more ecological.

Eventually if we do not take short-term measures we will destroy our planet and we live with poor conditions.

Garden Under Lightning - Leonora Speyer

(Ghost-Story)

Out of the storm that muffles shining night

Flash roses ghastly-sweet,

And lilies far too pale.

There is a pang of livid light,

A terror of familiarity,

I see a dripping swirl of leaves and petals

That I once tended happily,

Borders of flattened, frightened little things,

And writhing paths I surely walked in that other life—

Day?

My specter-garden beckons to me,

Gibbers horribly—

And vanishes!

Summer

Last summer, I had my favourite holiday with friend Paco. That holiday was incredible because it was emotionally charged. Also,  we lived many adventures and did several activities that we have never done. We took a flight and, the most amazing thing, we did a cruise holiday. The travel agent was very friendly when we decided to do the trip.

First of all, we took the flight in the San Javier´s airport to go to Arizona. The first emotion was that we had to pay a debt a because of the weight of our heavy and large suitcase. Finally we took the plane, and I was sit down on the window seat, while my friend was sit down on the aisle seat. In conclusion, we arrived in time.

After that, we went to see beautiful scenery with steep hill and big mountains as well. In addition we also went to the town centre. Then, as I am a keen photographer, I took pictures of everything. Learning some English was also very interesting, and we met Amy Winehouse who showed us her private pool and jet.

Eventually, we had to go back to Murcia, but that was the best part because we did it by a crowded cruise ship. Since the ship my friend and I could see terrific views of the animals of the sea. Suddenly, my friend Paco got ill due to the movements of the ship, but by the time we arrived at the coast, he had already got over. Finally, we went to our house in Madrid.

From my point of view this trip was amazing because we lived an adventure we will never forget. We learnt very much of the American culture and we recomend to trip to open places if you live in a small city.

Zoos

On the one hand, we can find some advantages. Zoos are created in order to conserve and protect animals that are in extinction as lynxs, some eagle species, white rhinos, etc. Most of these animals are in zoos because people hunt animals and sell them parts, as the skin. Also, we can see poachers hunt for fun, and they eradicate animals. Babies caught by hunters are brought to circus or shows, in where tamers teach them things through punishment, bad treatments o something that changes animals.

Thanks to animal protection charities we can still contemplate amazing animals. In addition, we can say that zoos are places where scientists can study animals and their behaviour, and kids learn to respect nature and animals.

On the other hand, there are important disadvantages in zoos as well. The animal specie is born to be and grow in the wild life. They have the instinct of hunting, some of them at day and others at night. So in zoos they can´t do that because they see themselves in a jail where they have a limit space. Sometimes  in zoos, babies born they are brought to circus or shows, in where tamers teach them things through punishment, bad treatments o something that changes animals.

From my point of view, keeping animals in zoos is well if and when these zoos are equiped with the best technology that do not hurt animals. Finally, not all zoos are equal. While most zoos are constructed as beautiful mansions, others that lack proper maintenance can create poor living conditions for the animals.

Winning the lottery

Winning the lottery is a dream which everyone dreams with, but it is so difficult. Personally speaking, if I hit the jackpot I would squander a part money on luxuries and stuff my family need, because they are always giving me (if it they can) all I ask for. Another part I would donate to charities which make an effort to improve the quality of poor people. As see it, I won the lottery I wouldn´t go public and not tell to my friends because of I could become a sought person.

As far as I know, money usually change people. From my point of view, I don´t think the money is the solution to our problems. In fact, it is something that we must have just right, if not you will be a greedy person. If someone wins the lottery he/she will do all wanted to do as buying a car (Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, …), build a gold house or something like that. This is, people waste money on un-useful stuff with which money ends. After that, people came back to the beginning: being poor, being in debt, etc. In addition of this, many times people around of the rich person only like his money. The rich have to be very careful when they want to be friends because many people are interested in only their wealth.

Moreover, we can find some advantages an. The biggest advantage is that you can buy everything you want to have. There isn´t limited amount of money and doesn´t care how much things cost. Being a rich person afford to have their own servants. Having money is the dream of all people.

To sum up, money make us not to be humans.
