Classification essay (homework)


Museums are special places where people can collect and display fragments of their past, their dreams, and their perceptions of life.

There are many kinds of museums such as art, history, natural history; science and technology are the most familiar.

Museums may focus on a single topic like medicine, music or transportation; on a place or period of history or on a special audience like children. Zoos, aquariums, arboreta, botanic gardens and planetariums are also special kinds of museums.

*A technology museums are very interesting for me, there you can found useful instruments that helps you to make your life easier and another objective of that is to understand the importance of technology in order to use new equipment.

*a science museum are difficult to found, some people used to call a museum like third kind It uses the computer not as a video terminal, through which you view objects of art, a kind of digital carousal projector, but as a screen of operations, an interface, which enables you to enter into a process of manipulation and transformation of images, texts and sound.

· Note: This essay should be written in pairs as Teacher Cabrales says, but there is something wrong here. The problem is that I couldn’t found a classmate to compare my opinion about art. I’m so sorry….. and that’s the reason because of I wrote the essay individually

How to spend your weekend

If you want to go on vacations this ¨puente¨ but you don’t have enough money you should visit a circus, that`s a good idea.. Check this information. a circus is most commonly a traveling company of performers that may include acrobats, clowns, trained animals, trapeze acts, hoopers, tightrope walkers, jugglers, unicyclists and other stunt-oriented artists. The word also describes the performance that they give, which is usually a series of acts that are choreographed to funny music. A circus is held in an oval or circular arena with tiered seating around its edge; in the case of traveling circuses this location is most often a large tent called the big top.
The origin of the circus were in Ancient Rome the circus was a building for the exhibition of horse and chariot races, equestrian shows, staged battles, displays featuring trained animals, jugglers, and acrobats. The circus of Rome has been influenced by the Greeks, with chariot racing and the exhibition of animals as traditional attractions.
The Roman circus consisted of tiers of seats running parallel with the sides of the course, and forming a crescent around one of the ends. The lower seats were reserved for persons of rank. In Ancient Rome the circus was the only public spectacle at which men and women were not separated. The Latin word circus comes from the Greek word kirkos meaning “circle or ring”
The first circus in Rome was the Circus Maximus, in the valley between the Palatine and Aventine hills. Next in importance to the Circus Maximus in Rome was the Circus Flaminius.
Following the fall of Rome, Europe lacked a large and animal rich circus. Itinerant showmen traveled the fair grounds of Europe. Animal trainers and performers are thought to have exploited the nostalgia for the Roman circus.

The power of....

Hello classmates! I have a recommendation to you that could be really helpful in stressful days, yesterday I read an article about aromatherapy… it was so interesting.
Scientist assumes that aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine that uses unstable liquid plant materials; recently it has been reported in the news, internet and magazines the powerful of this alternative. Some people used to call essential oils and other aromatic composed from plants for the purpose of affecting a person’s health. Scientific evidence appears but mildly encouraging for a limited number of claims. Essential oils differ in chemical composition from herbal ones; because of the distillation process only recovers the lighter phytomolecules.
For this reason essential oils are rich in monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, as well as other substances well know as an esters, aromatic compounds, and some organic sulfides
Aromatherapy is a generic term that refers to any of the various traditions that make use of essential oils sometimes in combination with other medical practices and spiritual beliefs. The most popular uses of these products include massaging products, medicine, or any topical application that incorporates the use of essential oils to their new products. It has a particularly Western currency and persuasion medical treatment involving aromatic compounds may exist outside of the West, but may or may not be included in the term ¨Aromatherapy¨.
I wish that the information could really helps you in order to reduce your stress levels and you were enjoying this free day.

It is a matter of choice


How identify a person who lives alone…. a simple example is when you are in the supermarket line. They're the ones with a six pack of beer, a roll of toilet paper, and many other things.
People live alone for a lot of reasons a broken romance is the primary reason.
When one first decided living alone, especially after being married for years, there are moments of terror. What is going to happen if I die in my sleep? How long before anyone finds my body? And if you are renting, a month is the maximum, because the landlord will want his rent.
Some people living alone find they really like the peace and quiet, and begin to decorate their residences totally to their like. There's no one to complain about your collection of Barbie Dolls or antenna balls.
Scientific studies have shown that people who live alone rarely have company. While the opportunity exists to party your fool head off, the reality is all that garbage piled up in your home means you would have to keep the place clean to have visitors. Given a choice of cleaning or not having company, most loners prefer not cleaning.

To Have or not to have children

Children are fine, but they are not something I need right now, some people who does want to have babies have been called selfish and unfeeling I think they don’t need kids to have fun. The thought of not to have kids has never crossed my mind and I absolutely adore kids.

I want getting on the successful track and have a family. The unknown of it fascinates me and makes me feel well; when I get out of bed in the mornings. I used to think that I don't know who I will marry and I don't know how many kids I'll have, if they will be boys or girls, how my husband and I'll name them, its so exciting.

But all that I know is all my decisions yesterday, today, and tomorrow determine my future and will have an effect on my future husband and children's lives.
I am so excited to share what I`m going to bring to this world with someone else.
I am so excited to share the rest of my life with someone that I lovely care about.
I am even more excited to create children that have pieces of me and will impact my world in many ways.

What is going to happen with my future… who knows!!!

Music in Schools

Why do we study music? Some People have always wanted to know why schools were teaching us music, there are many reasons, not only because it is part of the curriculum, music schools teach their students how to analyze music and understand the powerful that music had been influenced our culture.
My opinion about the reading in the book is that studying music is to study a basic form of communication like reading writing and speaking transmits ideas and feelings and it is used for economical purposes.
A practical use of music is by relaxing people with a kind of music called instrumental; this therapy is used in all popular countries with greatest results in the people’s health.

Writing a book report (homework)


The title of the book is ¨the love according to Platon the Bible and Freud¨ the book is about the thoughts of all the authors about love, in my opinion is a very interesting book, if my classmates prefer to watch TV than enjoying 20 minutes of a lecture I really like to say that this is a good book and I recommended to read. It is written in Spanish!!!

The most interesting part is when you read the Freud’s thoughts because he explains in a psychologist way the meaning of the word love and how a men acts to express love and how men behaves when he needs love, is interesting to know the principal characteristics of the human behavior without love and is incredible to get to know that love is really necessary to have a productive and health life.

I really enjoy the book, but I have to say something that will be a problem… is when the bible takes part. That maybe doesn’t like at all readers because some people prefer not to talk about religion, maybe is so confused and there are many different opinions about the theme, finally is your choice! that is all.

Henna


Henna is a peculiar plant and is commercially cultivated in western India and Pakistan, the Pali district of Rajasthan is the most henna producer in India.

Henna produces a red-orange dye molecule illegal. This molecule has an affinity for bonding with protein and thus has been used to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather, silk and wool. Henna flowers have four sepals white or red stamens inserted in pairs on the rim of the tube.

Though henna has been used for body art and hair dye since the Bronze Age, henna has had a recent application in body art due to improvements in cultivation, processing, and the diasporas of people from traditional henna using regions, the use of henna is by drawing figures in a specific part of the body, as you can see in the picture.

The dye molecule is primarily concentrated in the leaves and is in the highest levels in the petioles of the leaf. Fruits are small and open irregularly into four splits content in leaves is negatively associated with the number of seeds in the fruits

body art

Body art is a particular art made on the human body or made with the human body. The most common forms of body art are tattoos and body piercing, but other types include body tattoo and body painting.
More extreme body art can involve things such as mutilation or pushing the body to its physical limits without reason.

Body art is also a sub-category of performance art, in which artists use or abuse their own body to make their particular statements.

Body painting is considered an original and wonderful way to express social, political or mental problems, But there is something wrong here, that you cannot maintain your body painted for a long time, that’s the worst thing of being involved in body art.

In more recent times, body became a subject of much broader discussions and treatments that cannot be reduced to the body art in its common understanding. Important strategies that question the human body are implants, body in symbiosis with the new technologies, virtual body etcetera.

Scientist research in this area, a special case of the body art strategies is the absence of body. The most important artists that performed the "absence" of body through their artworks were Keith Arnatt, and Anthony Gormley

TUNING OUT THE TV (homework)

Advantages and disadvantages of televisionTelevision is one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century. Sometimes I like to watch TV. But I do not spend much time in front of this. It is the most popular part of mass media. Today every family has a TV-set in their kitchen, bedroom or living room.

TV has changed much since the time of its invention and so has its role. There have been numerous debates concerning advantages and disadvantages of television.



Here I have some advantages of having a television:
* The possibility to be well informed and enjoy civilized pleasures
* Students have a chance to select what they want to see.
* People provide great opportunities for education.
* Using a TV it is possible that people could learn a foreign language.
* People gets to know a lot of wonderful things concerning the world’s flora and fauna.
* TV is a medium of communication allows people to see and speak with each other if they are separated by thousands of kilometers.

At the beginning of the 21st Century TV became a colored world network. Numerous programs people can receive by satellite or cable.

Some disadvantages of watching TV are:
* People have to follow certain rules
* Today some people become TV addicts and feel unhappy if they fail to find another way of passing leisure time.
* Generally People are free to behave as they like
* People avoid talking with family, friends or others when they watched TV programs. for that reason people used to have problems to express their feelings and thoughts
* Free time is regulated by television, Instead of going to the theatre or reading books people watch TV, people have stopped reading books and depend on TV pictures.

The best thing is to watch only selective TV programs and not to be governed by them. I think only a few people today can live without television.Television plays an important part in the human life despite increasing influence of the Internet, video games and other source of information.
