SENSE AND SENSIBILITY.


The plots are two sisters; Elionor and Marianne Dashwood, that are living with their little sister Margaret, their parents until their father died. After the death of their father, the family states passes to John Dashwood, a half-brother of Elionor and Marianne. John Dashwood doesn’t pass anything to Elionor, Marianne, Margaret and Mrs Dashwood.

Dashwood family must change their house and they go to Devonshire, ‘cause a distant relative of Mrs. Dashwood, Sir John Middleton, invites the family to live in a cottage on his propriety.
When the family moved to Devonshire, Elionor felt in love with Edward Ferrars, the brother of Fanny Dashwood, and Marianne felt in love with John Willoughby, the man who saved her from an accident in the middle of the forest when it was raining. Willoughby after to rescue Marianne, everyday goes to her home to see her, and they become really good friends.

Suddenly, Willoughby must go to London, and he left Marianne in Devonshire, and she was really sad.
Edward Ferrars went to visit the family in Devonshire and Elionor was worried because he wasn’t like before. After this visit, Lucy Steele told to Elionor that since four years before, she was engaged with Edward, and the world falls on Elionor.
Elionor and Marianne with their broken heart went to London to pass the winter. Marianne sends letters to Willoughby, and later, Willoughby send a letter to Marianne saying that he’s engaged with Mrs. Grey.

Marianne is sad, and she goes to walk under the rain, and she gets ill. When Willoughby knows it he goes to search Marianne’s mother, and he says to Elionor that he’s stilling loving Marianne.
The sisters return to Devonshire, and Elionor was really bad, because Edward Ferrars get married with Lucy, but later Lucy said to Elionor that she doesn’t get married with Edward. She gets married with Robert, his brother.
Lucy get married with Edward Ferrars, and Marianne get married with Colonel Brandon, a really good friend of their relative John Middleton.

This is the summary that I did for "study" my read of the third term.
When I started to read the book I didn't like it, 'cause there were a lot of characters and remember all of them was really difficult, but later, when I continued reading, I started to like the book, 'cause I started to understand all the moments of the story. On the other hand, there is a lot of "difficult" vocabulary in this book, so I must read the book with the diccionary next to me.
Apart from these points, I liked the book, 'cause it's a love story, and normally, when I see films or when I read books about love stories I like them.
When I did a little reflection about the book, I saw that I can identify with one of the characters of the story. This character is Elionor, the eldest sister. She represents the sensibility, and I think that I'm really sensibility, 'cause when it's something bad on me I close myself and I keep my emotions inside me.
If I must choose one moment in the story, I will choose the moment that Elionor gets married with Edward Ferrars, 'cause Edward it's the man who Elionor all the whole story was in love, so I think that it's an emotive moment:)

In conclusion, if someone wants to read this book I will recomend it to him, 'cause it have a good ending, and sometimes stories that finish good are beautiful for read, or not?:)

Well, now you know a little bit more about my book and how I liked it.
See you*

MY PARENTS.

Hi!
Today I will speak about two persons really important in my life. On the first term’s posts I spoke about my brother, and this term I will speak about my mother and my father. Like all the families, my parents are really important for me.

Firstly I will speak about my father. Now, he’s 49 years old, and when I say to him that he’s really old she gets angry with me! And later he starts to laugh ‘cause he can’t be angry with me. My father isn’t a person of a lot of words, he’s really shy and quiet, but when he gets confidence with a person he can be very crazy and fun.
He knows a lot of everything. I think he’s the handy one around the house, ‘cause when there is a problem in my house we never call the electrician, the builder, the painter... he mend all our problems. He’s really hard-worker. He never sees the time, he’s working until the sun comes down, and this is a cause that I always argue with him, ‘cause sometimes he don’t remember that he must come to the house at one hour and he arrives very late!
He’s working as a farmer. He has a lot of fields, and when it’s time to collect the fruit, I can eat a lot of types of it, for example: peaches, pears, a lot of types of apples, apricots, plums, pomegranates...

Well, now I will speak about my mother. My mother is 44 years old. One of her best qualities it’s that he loves cook, and she does really delicious food!
My mother it’s like my father. She’s really shy and quite when she doesn’t know the person who’s talking, but when she gets confidence she is very talkative and cheerful.
I really like do things with she, ‘cause I think that she’s like me. He always understands me and she always knows when I feel bad or when I’m good. We are always smiling, and I think that it’s great.
As I told you before she cooks really good. When she is stressed or angry with something, she goes to the kitchen and she starts to cook something for us, and when she finish she say: Oh! Now I feel good. She has got the cook’s degree.
When she tries to do something and it goes wrong, she will try again and again until it goes well. I admire this characteristic of my mother.

They will do 24 wedding year’s on 27 of April and my brother and I will give some presents to their. We think that they deserve it.
Well, the only thing that it’s missing in this text it’s that I really love their and I hope that all my life will be loving their like now or more. :)

MY RESEARCH PROJECT.

Hi!
Tomorrow begins Easter Holidays! I think that we need some relax time, but I think that it’s a little impossible. We have a lot of work for this week :(
Well, today I will speak about my research project.
I choose to do a Research Project related by the agriculture’s and Catalan philology, and I chose to do an investigation about the agriculture vocabulary’s around Catalonia or Empordà. ( I don’t know which zone I will work about yet ;) )

The reasons that I chose this Research Project are because I grew up in the middle of agricultural environment and I think that it can be interesting for me.
Other reason can be that I have a lot of old family that some years ago were farmers, so I can compare the vocabulary 100 years before with the one that we’re using now.
Since I started to think about the topic of our Research Project I’ve been thinking of do one related with agriculture, but all the topics that I found were about science and technology’s field. I commented it to my tutor, Laura, and she helped me to think my topic.
I think that if I do good this project it can be really interesting so I will put a lot of interest in it.
I have two tutors of Research Project, who are Quim Cubarsí and Laura Riera. I’m really happy with my tutors.

Well, now you know the same like me about my Research Project, 'cause I don’t started to do it yet, and I don’t know what I will do specifically.
Well, maybe, when it will be more clear I will post a little bit more of it. I don’t know;), so it’s enough for today and only I can say, ENJOY YOUR EASTER HOLIDAAAAAAAAAAAYS!:)

ANIMALS.

Hello!
Today I will tell you some of my preferences when I must choose an animal.
Well, all of us have an animal or more that when we see it we get fear. Concretely, I have two or three animals that I can’t see, ‘cause I get a lot frightened and nervous. When I see these animals or when I heard their noises, I start to running far away from it.
One of these animals are the frogs. Now, maybe, you will say, frogs? They don't do nothing! Well, I agree with you, but since I was a child, when I see a frog or when I listen “croack, croack”, I can’t stay still, I start to think that it can jump to me and I will touch it and... while I’m thinking it I see that I’m ten metres away from the frog! Jaja! With toads, happens the same.
Another animal that I’m really afraid is the snake. The difference that is between my frog’s fear and snake’s fear is that if I see a snake I will scream a lot, and I won’t run ten meters, I’ll run one kilometre if it’s necessary! Jajajaja!
Well, I think that I’m afraid about all the animals that are like toads, frogs, snakes..., ‘cause if I see a chameleon I will do the same...
I won’t put any photo of these animals, ‘cause when I want to enter into my blog in the future I will must close it! ;D

Well, about my prefer animals, you will say that I’m really strange, ‘cause I don’t like to have dogs and cats and animals like that. I prefer have a rabbit and a sheep. Yes, yes, the animals that you’re reading, a rabbit and a sheep! Jaja!
I will tell you why. I think that these animals are very pacific, and they don’t bring problems to you. They are so quiet and sweet.
When I was a child I had a rabid and his name was Rabbit... we thought that it was a funny name, but like all the animals and persons, he died. :(
And about the sheeps, I think that they are really beautiful. When I was a child, when I were in my grandparents house's I really liked see the sheeps when they were walking on the street.
Well, today I will finish here. I must study a little bit more for the exam that I have tomorrow.
See you*
