The Wind That Shakes The Barley Review




Hi everyone! Today I will talk about the film "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" directed by Ken Loach. 
I think this film is very interesting to a certain point, because showed me a one reality that I don´t know, the reality from Irish people during the Irish civil war. 

 But, the film have a how many parts boring for that reason lose the storyline in many moments. In general, I don´t like the film, but I think that were more short, like one or one half hour, will better.

 My favorites character are Sinear and Damien O´Donovan, because they represent the real revolution spirit, the fight until the end for they ideal country an they don´t let the others persons, include the persons that they love, intervene in they ideas.

 My favorite scene have a relation with the previous, when  Damien dies before a firing squad commanded by his brother, Tommy O´Donnovan. It´s a very powerful scene, because represent the sense of the duty and honor, consequences of think different and the different ways that two brothers can choose.

    I think the same. What I share most is that it lasts a lot and is easy to miss.

The Pain Tree

1.  Who is your favorite character from the story and what kind of background do they come from? Why? (Use examples from Michelle Cliff's essay, If I Could Write This in Fire, I Would Write This in Fire ) My favorite character is Lorraine, because she represent a strong woman, and I like see wonderful women in different stories. Because, I love the form like Esther Pearl represent the relationship of Lorraine and Larissa. This relationship represent the opression lived persons for being themselves on Jamaica, and this story can be see around the world. 2. Why do you think Lorraine’s mother mocks the workers that want independence from England? I think Lorraine´s mother lived in a privilege social class and she never wanted support to strikes for Jamaican independence. This position can be see in our country, because the conservadurism people like to conserve the order. 3. What is a “pain tree” and how does it play a role in the story? The pain tree is a form to repres

English language challenge

   My experience learning english at university divide in two parts: the last semester and this semester. In the last semester I had English class with other teacher, Jordan. And the experience was very bad, I don´t learn almost anything, because he don´t interest  about our learning. But, in this class I had many friends and we had a good time. In this semester, I take this class with my friend Andrés, but he can´t go anymore and this situation is very sad for me, because the English days are our days. But, I learn a lot of words and have a good time too because for me is difficult learn English ( I have a trauma in my childhood) and the opportunity to learn is very amazing.

Outside the English class I use the english in many o

Rockers Film Review

1. How does Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace from  Rockers  compare to Ivan Martin fro m The Harder They Come ? Ivan Martin is a represent the music industry and he shows the bad part of the fame and power. Furthermore, Horsemouth is a hero because he gives money for poor people. I think they represent a two parts of the same coin, the jamaican culture sight from two different points of view.  The first point, shows a Ivan Martin like a man that transform for the money, because when he was poor, he was a different person, he come from to the farm and the city and their lights and bad habits, change his mind in the bad way. The second point, evidence a man, Horsemouth, with a strong courage for follow his values, because he steal money from rich people for gives a poor people. 2. What is your favorite scene from the film? Why? My favorite scene is when Horsemouth steal the company, because is the most funny part of the movie. It´s a point of break, a different thing in
