I saw Maria Graciela's blog and I discovered that she is a fanatic of the '70 years. She has images about the Goostok Festivals, Janis Joplin, that last image it not relation necessarily with the topic because she talk about of the tecnology, but obviouly I can discover a relation between the image and the topic.
She has ten publications and I can discover a taste for the english cultur in general: the music, the '70 music, the artist, You tube and the Simpson.
There is a image that I intersting more than other. That is the last but one: "Rock, freedom and love". That photo is powerful for me because it show a couple with their son lying down in the ground. My inpression is very traditional respect to the children and the father's culture. I know that the hippies was a life philosophy and also that they lived as they thought.
She says,"It make me think in the most comfortably life" or "The oposition of the freedom fenced in behind" us say her position respect to a one part of the life. But, thinking in the syntax of the sentence I discover one mistake or maby I don't know. She says: "The oposition of the freedom fenced in behind", here I discover alny problem for to understand. But she want says that the couple is fenced! Anywere I think that she must read more for ti make progress in english because she will integrate best the language. I think that she read fine in general and that is a "detail" to improve.

Our culture

In general the chilean people confuse the popular habit with the folklore of "Patrón de fundo". We could talk about the diference into the Washaca culture and the folklore. The washaca culture we can see in the antique neighborhood as Recoleta, Independecia, etc. There are a washaca culture because the old people have diferent habits regarding to the young people. In this neigborhood there is a mixture between old habits and the pop culture. That convination, I think, to develop a washaca culture. But the our national dancing, "La Cueca", its representative of one part the our past society: "el Patrón de fundo".
But, What relation exist with the feeling of the chilean? Well, the people praise to the folklore rejecting to the our washaca culture because they think that is vulgar. While "La cueca", dancing between the "patrón" and the "china" is the best. Is good that exist any feel about our, but also we have that be observant with our around.
For "El 18" we celebrate our independence day and we are very chilean. Is good, but there are more, we are more that "La cueca", "La Empanada", "La fonda", "el campo", etc. Our celebration is inspired in the central zone of Chile, nothing more.
Also we express our feel of chilean when Chile selection play futball. The people be exited very much. Today we are living this emotions con the World Cup.
In this periods we are more chilean, we enjoy our foods, dancing, etc. But, I repeat, is necessary look to other places, other dancing, other food, For example: The sopaipillas, the popular character as the sopaipilla's peddler, etc.
But, I think that we have the creative force for to prove our feel of chileans.

GASPAR

I think that this lovely image is only action. Here is my son playing to be a doctor and he's arm his legos. In this image show my mather aunt playing with Gaspar. She is very emotiv and don't see very much to Gaspar, so when she came to my home enjoy too much.
The image is not recent, it of summer... Ah! I remember that this photo is at december, especifically after christmas because he's playing with the toys received in this celebration. Now his toys are any place of home; its are lost, I think.
Daniela, my cousin took the image. She always take its photografic camara. Really she took the image in a precise moment; she capture a exaltation moment. Gaspar is really happy in this image.
In general he's very emotiv and energetic as its show in this image. For example, he'll dancing in his school for the father's day and his teacher says us (to Carlos and my) that he is the most dancer in his nivel.
I love this image because represent the temperament of Gaspar; overjoyed energy, expressive, etc. But, obviously that sometime is tiring for me.

But, go back to the image I think that Gaspar is very nice in the moment that be took its the image: his eyes, mouth, the general expression of his face is great.

The photografic of the childrens are very nice in everytime, not is necessary go to especials place or to stay in a particular celebration.

I' agree

I' agree
it was very complicate understand to Ted, but I think that can say something.
He say about creativity, education, the future and the schools, etc. Everythink that he group for to criticize the education sistem and the mentality about the future of the kids with regard to his talents.
The talents aren't important, sometime, for the peoples. Why? Because something talents aren't give good money and the future without "good meny" is really boring. But this persons talk about the future with the poor mentality because they think only in the money!
I think that we do alert with the talents of the kids and to do accomplice of the develop of his interest.
Is really that the sistem demand something talents and not others, For example:
Phisic's teacher, but not phisic's investigator;plastic arts's teacher, but not history's art teacher;too much matematics and language classes, but not too much desports and culture's classes;etc.!
Is incredible think that everybody studing for the money, but and our creative develop? How we can became persons happys?
I`m mother and I'know that the future is very important, but if I not help in the creative develop of my son, whats do he in the future when he have big challenge if he does'n creative?

Is very important give to the kids too much tool for his develop, but not only two or three...
The writter, dancer, artist are very necessary fot the one society; a really society.
