Novembrinas

The Novembrinas is a hollyday, that we celebrated in here in Cartagena. These hollyday last like a week. The Novembrinas is like a party very cool where we celebrated our independence and also in Colombia we choose the new Ms. Colombia and every year we do it in here in Cartagena during the Novembrinas, so we celebrated both so this is very excited. On novembrina that is last like a week, everyday they do a different party, so the last day, of the week is the big day when the new Ms. Colombia is choose it, and they day before Ms. Colombia is choose it they choose Ms. Independence of Cartagena. The different party that they make each different day is a party where they show the different candidate that are participating on each different beauty contest.

The National Beauty Contest, they always do it in Cartagena. In here they come different woman from different department of Colombia and they represent that places. These same thing they do it with the representative of Ms. Independence of Cartagena. The Novembrinas have their disadvantages and their advantages. The novembrinas is celebrated on the month of November, has the name say "Novembrinas" came from the name of November. These hollyday have different parties that are celebrated each different day, in their they show the candidates of each representative. One party very cool is called the Bando. There are two Bandos. One of them is the one where we celebrated the Independence of Cartagena and the candidates that are participating on that contest appear in a parade that we do always. The Bando is a big parade where there are dancing, music, and the candidates that are participating on the contest. The other Bando is the same but the only differences is that are with the candidates that are participating to the Ms. Colombia. They are other party that are like the Balleneras, that is like other parade but the candidates are on a boat, and these they only do it with the one that are participating on the National Beauty Contest.

The advantages, that the novembrinas have is that: people pass a very good time with there families, and children's doesn't have school. Also seeing the woman's more beautiful of Colombia is very cool. Also seeing the one from the Independence is excited. When they are going to choose who going to be Ms. Colombia is very cool. The parades that they make are beautiful people enjoined and the parties too, the dancing that they make are awesome and the decoration too. The Novembrinas also have their Disadvantages: on this hollyday people do a lot of mess, and doesn't behave very good, they make a lot of disaster. For example on the Bando is the party where more disaster they make because people began throwing eggs, water, and something that is called buscapie, this is a Spanish word. The buscapie is something that have the thing that the gun are made so the buscapie is made of that so when you put it fire you throw it and that exploted so that is dangerous, so these make the Novembrinas a disaster. The novembrinas is a very cool hollyday and it have their disadvantages and their advantages

Monsters are Due on Maple Street

The Monsters are Due on Maple Street gives you a lot of messages. In these story they are negative and positive lessons. I think that the most important messages is that try do not lose self- control, because if you lose it you can lose something that is very important that is your friendship. Also if you don't have self-control you can destroy your self and other people. Her is a part of the story that support my message, " With few variations. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find. . . and it's themselves". These comment support my message because they are saying that they have pick the worst enemy, so that mean that they are destroying their self.

I feel that these message is very important because it talks you about do not lose self- control because you can lose a very important thing that can affect you a lot. These message is very important to life because is something that never change, as if you change your cloth or technology change. This message is to have it updated. I think that is very important that people think like that because is going to help you all your life. So I think that message still have a significance in today's worlds. This is an important message that all people have to be consider.

I think that to make the play updated and to make it more relevant, I think that the first time they have to do is that the T.V play have to be on color. Also people have to look more modern, wear cloth more fashion more modern and updated, their hair cut also have to be modern and more cool. I think that people doesn't know so much about aliens because people haven't seen it and we don't know if they exist or not, but I think that they have to changed the thing about aliens and space travel. I think these because this doesn't sound so realistic, so I think this have to change it and make it more on the real life. Some equipment that will be affected by the blackout maybe the cellphone and computers and thing of technology. I think that to make the story set in a city like New York like something very commercial, imagine a blackout in city like New york! Finally, These story have a very beautiful message.
