LETTER

3. Write a letter to a friend in which you describe your recent meeting with someone whom you

disliked very much at first, but then came to understand and appreciate.

Dear Mark

                 Short time ago I meet a an old class mate in the street, I hadn’t seen this person a long time ago, as it is I hadn’t seen him sins we came out of school, as he wasn’t really my cup of tea.

This old class mate, was the typical geek guy, he always had a book in this pocket, he weard glasses, he had his pants over his waist, t shirt tucked in, never used to go out of his room, didn’t know any girls, he was somebody that wasn’t s the most popular person.

I knew him well because he once was very nasty to me, as I had leand him my home work for him to get some ideas to do his, but in the moment we gave it in we had the same one! And he invented that I had copied him and I got punished because of his fault. So sins then I don’t get along very well.

But some weeks ago there was a school reunion, were I saw lots of my old class mates, I had a great time, at first I saw someone that I didn’t recognize, but after asking who we was I learnt that it was my old class mate that had been nasty to me.

At first I didn’t  want to talk to him because I remember what had happened years ago, but he looked like a different person, and so I didn’t know him very well I gave it a try.

I started talking to him and he turned out to be a great person, he was now a doctor, a really good one, I learnt that people can change and this was the case, we have meet again a couple of times to have a talk and he is a really interesting person, and I am sorry I didn’t get to know him better before, because now I know that he committed a mistake and every mistake can be repaired.

So if you have someone you don’t really like, get to know him better, and you will probably realize you have lots of thing in common, as me whit my old class mate,

Regards

Matthew Faille 

 Dear diary,

Today in class they read a statement about how one should or shouldn't lean other culture that is not, your original and its different that which is your parents.

And I started thinking, and I am not one of those third culture child, I only have two, from my mother I have German culture, and from my father I have a Chilean culture, that’s only two, and in my School as it a German school it has the same culture as my mother so I don't have a third culture.

But for example, my best friend Balotelli, his mother is from South Africa, his father is from England, and he goes to the German school. That is a perfect example of a third culture child. 

In my opinion it is great to learn new cultures, and have more than 2 or 3, but always maintaining you original culture, and not forget about it.

"I understand that many have ethical and moral reservations about stem cell research, but for the same reason I describe myself as pro-life, I embrace embryonic stem cell research because I believe being pro-life is not only caring for the unborn but also caring for the living

Summary

Scene 1
Titania asks if Bottom want some nuts, but he replies that he would prefer a handful of dried peas and that he has a strange hungr for hay; all this happens while he lies in her lap with his ass head. Oberon and puck talk about the love charming spelled on Titania, and after that he proposes her to undo the magic if she yields the Indian child. Oberon removed the spell and asked for music to dance with the queen. Finally Puck also removes the spell of the ass head from Bottom.

Scene 2
Craftsmen are worried about his friend Bottom because he hasn't appeared, moreover with a beast in the forest. Starveling thinks that maybe the fairies have done something to him.  Snug enters tellign everyone that Theseus married. Just when they were leaving fot the play, Botoom appears and asks why are all so sad, going with them to perform the play.

Special Notes

A special characteristic of the play is the appeareance of many fairy characters, doting the story with misticism and making it unique. The performance of the play must be done with a lot of ornaments and costumes.

Another notable effect in this act is the useof background music proposed by fairies.

Finally, the participation of slept characters mixes reality with dream creating a superreal enviorment.


Personal Notes and Reactions

The story is very good, it happens in different settings and with uncommon characters as fairies. The difficulty at the moment of reading is to understand what characters want to say or what is ocurring because of the poetic use of english; also because of the weird actions of the fairies the story tends to confuse.
