Dorian Gray

The first trimester of this year, in the English class, we had to read Dorian Gray, a book written by Oscar Wilde in 1890. It’s a philosophical-fiction. The story is boring, in my opinion, but also explain lot of things. The argument ait beginning is normal, okay, but at the end become better because you are hocked by the story. Which one explain the story of Dorian a guy that want to be for ever young, the book reflect the arrogance and superficiality of the boy. 

I recommended because it’s a classic, like El Quixote or something like this but I really don’t like it, when I was reading it, it takes me like 1 hours and half maybe and that hour and half were the longest of my live (I'm exaggerating).

My favourite English-speaking youtuber.

Casey Neistat is a vlogger,with 34 , a type of youtuber, which do a video diary explaining things that append to him and his family which live in NY City. His YouTube channel has 1500000 subscribers. I like the way that he explain the because he explains very fluid making incredible shots with their cameras. It's amazing how good it makes transitions considering that he hasn’t studied cinema or something.

I his story is even more amazing has been working since he left the high school, she had a son at 17 and after much effort and work of director on several smaller projects. And now he runs his own technology company Beem and make videos on youtube.

Black Friday in Spain.

The Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. In Spain we copied this this celebration. This fact is good for the employer and the economy for the country because increase the selling. Here, in Spain, it isn’t so dramatic or exaggerated like could be in USA or Canada.

On the other side of the ocean they are crazy, I saw videos that the people in black Friday fight for a new TV or some like this.  Here it is quieter, thankfully. I'm not going to complain about discounts, but if I have to fight for a television that doesn’t need rather pay the original price.

Youtube fun

In he video Sergi Soufyane and me are presenting the Youtube Fun, in our presentation we talk about the viral videos. The presentation should be 15 minutes long, 5 for each person. In it I can improve my pronunciation fluency and in front of more than 20 people my nerve more.

I’m too shy that’s the biggest problem, I can’t, some people has fear of height and I’m fear to talk in front of people, last year I was so nervous that I preferred to do the presentation suspend.

YouTube gaming star PewDiePie 'earned $7m in 2014'

For those ones that are not familiar with the world of YouTube I will make a little introduction. A youtuber is a content creator, there are lot of types of them, tutorials reviews of games etc. In the beginning you don’t earn money but one time you start to have lot of visits and subscriptions then one company do a contract with you an pay you for your job this is called partner.

PewDiePie is a gaming youtuber, he do content about videogames and actually have 40 millions and average of 10 views per video. According to the magazine Expressen he won $3 in 2013 and in 2014 $7m.

People that don’t use habitual Youtube, like TV or other sources of entertainment, is crazy that one guy of only 25 won this quantity of money as is for me that football players won more than this in less time. Here the news link.

Why 2015 has been a blockbuster year for cinema

This year, 2015, has been a great time for cinema, Jurassic World, Fast and Furious 7, The Avengers and there is still the main course Star Wars.  It has been a phenomenal year for blockbuster films with several movies that are in the ten highest-grossing films of all time.

This is true, for me those last years has been one of the bests years with respect as cinema. Although superhero movies have increased in number too many in my opinion. I hope that the next years will be better and according to the news.

Recognise This Slimmed Down Hollywood Star?

This news copulated photos of Chris Hemsworth in his new movie In the Heart of the Sea and in his previous paper, Thor of Marvel. The Australian actor for the paper of the Viking god has to put on 20 pounds of muscle.

And to prepare this movie has to do a diet of only 500 calories per day, because in this movie has to interpreted a man that is part of whaling ship's crew and after their boat is destroyed by a sperm whale they are stranded at sea for 90, it takes place in 1820.

Each story I read it surprised me more, stories of actors that change their weigh and appearance radically to interpret a paper. An example could be Christian Bale or Jonny Deep.

New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer

The fans of the franchise have the last candy of the movie that we will see, the new trailer or Star Wars: The Force, that will premier in next month. The fill will continuous the saga of George Lucas after 30 years of the evens that happen in the - Return of the Jedi.

I don’t considered myself as a super fan because I don’t have the room full of thing of Star Wars but I like the world and the histories that explain us.  I've always seen Star Wars as a philosophy for children, the battle of good against bad, light against darkness, but those movies explain that is not that simple in the light there is darkness and backwards.

 Down below I let you the trailer and here the link.

  

Birdman

In the last Oscars celebrated last year with Neil Patrik as host. There were several categories in the Oscars: best movie, best actor, montage, among others. One of the highlights of the ceremony is the announcement of the Best Film, which one won Birdman although it wasn’t the only award of the film

This movie tell us the history of an old actor and director how works in a theatre. He has family problems, he has recently split up with his wife, well ex-wife, and his daughter has problems with dugs. He was famous after a couple of movies that throw him to the top but, with time, he gets down again and has an obsession to be famous again.

This movie deserved the Oscars, it is an awesome movie, a little bit crazy although incredible. The fact that most impress me are that there are some scenes of 12 minutes long, 12!, that is too long and hard for the actors to root of this the actors make a bet to see which one make more and less mistakes.

Highly recommended, with a quality of assembly and management splendid, and a catalog of really good actors. It is one of those films that must see

Countries I want to travel

One of my wishes is to travel see the world, new countries, new people. One of these countries would be Japan or some country of Asia, there are two principal reasons, the first one because the food, not the typically of the restaurants of here, the strange one, and the second would be the traditional buildings.

The second one would be USA, because I’m fan of this series, movies, shows, his culture. I know that USA it’s big and there are lot of places inside that are so different between them, like other places, I guess.

Those are two of the countries that I want to travel but there are more, and each other different of the others. Here I let you a video of a guy that do what i wish to to.

Adele's New Album Makes UK Chart History

The new album of the British singer has break a record. She has sold 800.307 copies the first week surpassing the famous band Oasis's which had sold 800,307 copies in 1997. Those numbers are from UK but Adele has sold lot of copies around the world.

Personally I don’t like Adele’s music, it’s too slow and corny but I like her, as a person, It is not the typical singer that is like a Barbie and use lot of programs to change her voice. It deserved for not be like the others that sell for not how they sing although they wear or are physically.

GOALS AND CHALLENGES IN MY LIFE

Dear teacher,

Hello, my name is Quim, a student of second batxillerat, and I’m going to explain you my short and long-goals that I am expecting to achieve a long the track.

Nowadays, my goals that I want to achieve in the next few years is shake off the batxillerat and go to university to study something that I really like it. And if one day I fail, I turn to the worse I’ll know that I Never drop out of school, I’ll keep going, and I hope to one day my parents feel proud of me.

My long-term goals are to study something related with graphic design or animation 3D, and be the best of my field, even if that takes me to other countries.

Possible challenges that I could find along the way are to struggle against myselve, I think that the other people can hinder you but if you keep going and doing your stuff then you can do want.

I’ll stay on the track till the end and if I feel depressed for something, my friends and my family will support me to keep going, meet my goals and be successful.

OBAMA’S SENTENCE I LISTEN TO:

“The circumstances of your life, none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework … There is no excuse for not trying, you write your own destiny, your own future”

I like this sentence because you always have to try your do your best and don’t let other people condition your future. Also, it doesn’t matter from where you are, how are you, or what circumstance are you, all people is able to study and work, It’s true that money is a difficulties but not an excuse.

Best regards,

Quim Hugas Juárez
