Literary essay

In the class of Literature we read an interesting book called "The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", so we write an literary essay talking about the theme called " The rational and the Irrational". Here is my essay, i write it with my partner Francisco Cersosimo.

An essay on The Strange Case of 

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

In “The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Jekyll, a famous doctor, creates a potion which transforms Jekyll into his evil personality, Mr. Hyde. In the story the rational and the irrational is reflected. Jekyll think that with the potion his evil part is going to separate, but he transforms into his evil part. That is a bad thing, because Jekyll does not have control of what Mr. Hyde do. The rational and the irrational can compare the humans against the animals.



Dr. Jekyll is rational, because he know that the potion probably will not work as he wants, and that could be very dangerous. He wants to separate his two personalities, but he only transforms into Hyde. When this happens, he totally loses the control of Hyde. Hyde could kill people, but Jekyll does not do anything. “The Doctor returned with a smile.But the words were hardly uttered, before the smile was struck out of his face and succeeded by an expression of such abject terror and despair, as froze the blood of the two gentlemen below”


Hyde is irrational, because he knew that he was killing people,and he also know that killing people was bad.  Hyde´s mind is like of an animal, animals know that they kill other animals for food, but to survive. The difference is that Hyde kills people for fun. “And then all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger, stamping with his foot, brandishing the cane and carrying on like a madman.”


Dr. Jekyll can stop drinking the potion, to stop this monster, to kill Mr Hyde. But he anyway keep drinking the potion knowing the consequences. Jekyll become addicted to the potion, he could not stop drinking. So Mr. Hyde continued killing people or hurting and Jekyll does not do anything about that. When, Dr. Jekyll, he loses totally the control of Hyde he commits suicide to stop this once and for all. “When this shall fall into your hands I shall have disappeared under what circumstances I have not the penetration to foresee; but my instincts  and all the circumstances of my nameless situation tell me that the end is sure and must be early.”

I think that the author want to explain many things, but one of the most important is that it does not matter how good you are, everyone have his evil personality. This make me realize that I have that evil personality and that maybe sometime I can transform into my evil part.

Excursión a Capital Federal

Aunque ya hice una entrada en mi blog llamada "Excursión a Capital Federal". Voy a hacer un breve resumen de lo que hicimos. Primero fuimos al MACBA en el cual fuimos a una exposición de un pintor llamado Fiaban Burgos, que también tengo una entrada llamada "A traves de los ojos de Fabian Burgos". En esa exposición vimos como Fabian Burgos hacia pinturas en las cuales usaba geometría o efectos visuales. Luego de esta visita al museo fuimos al parque Lezama en el cual almorzamos y observamos algunos monumentos importantes. Finalmente fuimos al museo Etnográfico en el cual nos explicaron algunas cosas sobre otras culturas.

Intervención

Finalmente en el colegio hicimos una intervención con figuras geométricas. Cuando la termináramos debíamos sacarle fotos y luego hacer un video de toda la intervención:

Trabajo Practico escritura: Cuento Quiroguiano

Estuvimos leyendo el libro " Cuentos de locura y espato ", el cual contiene historias escritas por Horacio Quiroga y luego debimos escribir un cuento quiroguiano eligiendo alguno de estos temas:

- Las fronteras borrosas entre lo humano y lo animal

- Un caso psicopatológico

- El triunfo de la naturaleza sobre la ciencia

En mi caso yo elegi "El triunfo de la naturaleza sobre la ciencia". 

Enfermedad desconocida

Pobre Jorge Gómez, gracias a él estamos a salvo. Elimino esa horrible cosa para salvarnos a todos. Era un día como otros, 15 de abril del 2016, todo normal, la gente iba a trabajar, los chicos en los colegios, todo tranquilo, o eso parecía.

Jorge a las 9:00 de la noche me llamo y me dijo asustado que tenia hematomas por todo el cuerpo. Inmediatamente fui a su casa y lo revisé. Le pregunte qué fue lo que estuvo haciendo antes de llegar a su casa, el me dijo que hace una hora había llegado de su casa, se acostó en la cama y se durmió. Luego de unos treinta minutos se despertó y tenía muchas manchas en su cuerpo y luego esas manchas se convirtieron en moretones muy grandes, ese fue el momento en el que me llamo. También me conto que había tenido varias hemorragias, las cuales todas eran por la boca. En ese momento me di cuenta de que estaba en un caso muy grave. Yo nunca había tenido una experiencia así. Le recomendé que se quede en su cama, que descanse y luego lo revise pero cada vez que lo tocaba le dolía entonces le di unas pastillas que harían que Jorge no sienta su cuerpo, pero esta pastilla hace efecto luego de 10 horas, entonces le dije que al día siguiente lo revisaria. Al día siguiente a 7:30 de la mañana me llamo.

Cuando llegue y lo revise me sorprendí ya que  tenia cada vez más hematomas.  En ese momento le saque una muestra de sangre y le dije que tendría que esperar 1 día para tener los resultados del análisis. Lleve las muestras de sangre al laboratorio y volví a su casa. Me quede pensando en porque de un día para el otro tenía el triple de hematomas que tenía el día anterior. Me dijo que esa mañana había tenido otra hemorragia. Al día siguiente fui a buscar las muestras de sangre. Me di cuenta de que no tenía ninguna enfermedad, entonces me pregunte que le había pasado a Jorge.

Luego fui a visitar a Jorge.  Inspeccione su cuerpo y note que los hematomas se cambiaron de lugar, como que si se hubiesen movido. En ese momento me di cuenta de que no eran hematomas que había algo adentro de su cuerpo. Me di cuenta de eso cuando observe que las "hematomas" se movían de un lado al otro. Jorge ya se pasaba todo el día escupiendo sangre. Inmediatamente  lo lleve a un hospital para que lo revisaran detenidamente. Para ello le tomaron una radiografía. Cuando vieron los resultados vieron miles de puntos blancos por todo su cuerpo.  Deducimos que tenía en su interior una clase de larvas las cuales le estaban chupando la sangre, infectando su piel e infectando el interior de su cuerpo. Para sacárselos teníamos que sacarle la piel, e iba a morir.

Yo deprimido tuve que preguntarle que era lo que quería hacer, si dejaba los bichos iba a sufrir y si se suicidaba salvaría la humanidad de esos bichos asquerosos. Él me respondió que quería hacer lo correcto, que era salvar a todos. Para matarlo y que no sufra le inyectamos  una sustancia letal que lo mataría instantáneamente. Luego de que lo matáramos lo quemaríamos para matar los bichos. Jorge murió, ese pobre hombre que nos salvo a todos, una persona humilde que se sacrifico. Antes de quemarlo le sacamos un poco de piel en el lugar donde tenía más larvas, cuando le sacamos unas 3 o 4 larvas notamos que tenía agujereada su carne y su musculo, y deducimos que era por eso que Jorge tenía hemorragias. Luego revisamos las larvas, unas bolas de moco con un par de garras muy pequeñas.  Cuando abrimos una de las larvas, una ola de sangre salió de su interior. Toda la sangre que la larva había chupado pero no solo esa larva tenía mucha sangre, todas y cada una de ellas tenía mucha sangre, lo cual provoco el sufrimiento de Jorge. Luego quemamos su cuerpo para que estas larvas no se reprodujeran y ataquen a más inocentes personas, como era el Señor Jorge Gómez.

Short Story

In the class of L/L Writing we started a new topic, Short Stories. When we finished with all the "theory" we were asked to write a short story but the story should end with the sentence "That was the last time she/he ever saw them". It should be of about 450-600 words.

The best opportunity,

the worse news

It was a sunny day, Jill, John and Sarah were on the beach. The waves, the sound of the wind, it was all beautiful. Many people were surfing and playing.

Jill saw some people surfing and she wanted to surf, as she knew that Sarah knew how to surf she asked Sarah:

"Sarah, you had been surfing since you were ten years old, right?"

"Yes", answered Sarah, "Why are you asking that?"

"I want to surf, so if you are a professional you can teach me", said Jill

"You want to surf?!", shouted John

"Yes, I think that is a beautiful sport",  answered Jill

"Ok, if you want me to teach you, you will need the necessary equipment", said Jill

"If I have the equipment, you are going to teach me?", asked Jill  

"Yes, I am going to teach you...", Sarah said tired

"Yes! I'm going to learn how to surf!",  exclaimed Jill

Jill was so excited that she ran to buy her new equipment. When she returned, Sarah was prepared to teach Jill how to surf. Meanwhile, John and Tom were playing  volleyball.

"Surf is not so easy, we will need three or four days to learn the basic things of surfing", warned Sarah

"I don't care, I want to learn how to surf a wave", said Jill

The first day wasn't so good, Jill fell down many times but Sarah told Jill that the next day they were going to continue trying.

When Sarah arrived at her house, she received a call from her trainer.

"Hi Sarah, how are you?", started Paul

"I'm very well, you know what? today I taught my friend some things about surfing", said Sarah

"Really?", shouted Paul, "I think you used the same words I used when taught you"

"Well, I used some words but not every word", said Sarah

"Ok, I called you because you entered to the competition of surfing!", exclaimed Paul

"That is awesome!", shouted Sarah, "And where it is?"

"It is on Hawaii, it is very far but it is a very good opportunity",  answered Paul

"On Hawaii?", exclaimed Sarah, "When? How many days?"

"Calm down! We are going tomorrow to the airport, ten hours of travel and if you pass to the final round you are going to be there for two years", said Paul

"Two  years?!", shouted Sarah stopping the call

She was very nervous, she didn't want to go there for two years, she wanted to be with her family, with her friends and at her home. She knew that it was an excellent opportunity and that maybe she will never have another like this one so she accepted, she called Paul and she told him that she was going there.

The next day she went to the beach.

"Hi Jill, hi John", Sarah greeted her friend with a sad face

"What happened to you?", asked John

"I entered to the surf competition", answered Sarah

"And why  are you sad.  They are very good news", said Jill

"Yes, but it is for two years", exclaimed Sarah

"What? For two years?", shouted Jill

"Yes and I am leaving tomorrow", asked Sarah

"And who is going to teach me how to surf?", asked Jill

"I'm sorry Jill, but it's a very good opportunity and I can't throw it away", answered Sarah

Sarah was very sad, she knew that Jill wanted to learn to surf but Sarah had to leave, so she went away and went to her house. That was the last time she ever saw them.

News Report

In the class of EM/History Writting we started with a new topic, "News reports". We saw how to write it (tense, orgaanization, etc). Then we were asked to write a news report. We had two options, inventing a news or using an existing news. I decided to inevnt it, so here it is:

Fire burns forest

A forest in Córdoba has been burned. Ten kilometers have burned and that has caused damages on animals and in a house that was in that area. This happened yesterday morning.

Although the damage was serious, fortunately, nobody was inside the house, but many animals died. There is evidence that the fire started in the house. The owner said that he had left a chicken in the oven. The fire started growing and burned the forest in less than ten minutes.

Many trees burned down and many years have to go by so that the trees can grow again. The owner of the house regrets having done what he did because he was the one that burned down the forest. The owner is going to cooperate so that the trees can grow again.

Some people are disappointed because they don't understand how people can be so irresponsible. However, some other people say that the house owner is very lucky because he was not there.
