Pride & Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite movies,- other movies that I love are Amelie and Inception-. I don’t know exactly why I chose this movie, but I want  share with you if  you want to watch it some day.

Pride and Prejudice is based on a book that has the same name that the one that was written by Jane Austen published in 1813. It is set in the 19th century, in England. 

The story is about Elizabeth Bennet, her family, and her love-hate relationship with Mr. Darcy, where the pride and the prejudice are central elements that make difficult their relationship for the context of the age.

The prejudices are social prejudices, because of belonging to a different social strata, he belongs to high class, she belongs to down stratum. And the pride derives from this. They cannot love each other because of the prejudices.

It is a romantic story, with a lot feelings of love and hate.

I think that this is the reason why I like it, but also I like it for the set, and the well performance of the actors.

And the actors are great, specially the main actors.

Elizabeth Bennet is play by Keira Knightley, and Mr. Darcy is play by Matthew Macfadyen.

I recomend you this movie!!

 

The book

The movie

An admirable person.

If exist someone that I admire so much in my field is Gabriel Salazar, who is my teacher of Social History of Chile.

He is a eminent historian of the Chilean's history. He is a founder of the historiographics trends called  New 

Social History, that it's based in the construction of history from the social actors that compose it.

He is, also, sociologyst and philosopher. 

He was born in 1936, in Chile, and studied his secundary education in the "Liceo de Aplicación". His superiors studies, carried out in the "Universidad deChile", were firts history in 1960, and after sociology and philosophy parallely.  

In 1970, Salazar joined to "MIR" (Movement of Revolutionary Left), and during the Dictadure, he was taken prisioner. 

In 2006, he won the Nacional Prize of History of Chile.

During his life he has wrotte a lot book like "farmworker, laborer, and proletarian", " In the name of the Popular Power Constituent"

He like me, because his way of to see the history is very interesting, that is a vision almost opposite to the history that teach on the schools. Is a  much more dinamic history, explaining the causes of  events, not just the event facts .

He is Gabriel Salazar

National festivities

Within the Chile's holidays, one of the most enjoyed by me is the national festivities, and are many reasons of why I enjoy the most. The first reason is that there are several free days, a week sometimes, that while in class to have a free week is much appreciated. Another reason is that I go visit my grandparents in the country, where I also share with all my family, and I eat good things as empanada and roast meat. Another good reason is that for those days spring starts, and I love spring, is my favorite season because everything is green and fresh, the temperature rises and there are flowers everwhere and this makes me very happy. And the last reason is that is my birthday - 21st september- that generally is inside the free week and they celebrate me, so I have a better time.

For all this  the national festivities is the one that I enjoy the most but no precisely for what those days mean. I don't care about the patriotism or army.
