My learning process in English III with Lisette Lunar

This semester i improved my confidence with the english, before i was insecure with my writing and my grammar, today i feel that i can manage myself better in this language. In october i didn’t like much the idea of the blog or send the homework through módulo 7, but now, four month after, i can see that both of them are a good tools for the evaluation. I thank my teacher Lisette Lunar for the classes, the patience and the flexibility in the corrections. I think that the learning of the pre-writing techniques, the transitional signals and the characteristics of the types of text will be very helpfull in my process to perfection my english in the future.

Creatures Clone Selves in Face of Danger

This article is expositive because the information that it provides to the reader is explicative, the scientists who published the text intended to disclose their research and make it easy to anyone can understand.

As a summary of this discovery, i can say that the sand dollar larvae clones itself when a predator is near to it, the scientist explains in the article that the clones are smaller than the original larvae and thanks to that they have a chance to survive hiding themselves from the predator, though some investigators think that a tiny size eventually can be dangerous for a larvae in the sea, where for many species being bigger helps scare off predators, the researchers don’t know yet if this is true for sand dollars, only they could prove the larvae clone itself in front of the danger and so far nobody has seen a response like that.

Twilight Trailer

Argumentative Text: The Twilight book is better than the movie

Twilight is a book created by Stephenie Meyer in 2005, tells the story of the young Bella Swan and her mysterious boyfriend Edward Cullen.

The book relates the arrival of Bella to Forks, Washington with her father Charlie and the sacrifice that she does for the happiness of her mother Reneé with her new husband Phil. In Forks Bella goes to a new high school and meet the Cullens: Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper and Edward. She gradually falls in love with Edward and thanks to her friend Jacob Black discovers that Edward and all his family are vampires.

This love story between a human and a vampire has been followed by millions of teenagers around the World and was premiered in the big screen in december 2008 starring by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

The film isn’t bad for anyone who has not read the book but for the real fans isn’t good enough. The book was written to make a movie, but unfortunately many dialogues, situations and images that were described by Meyer were wrong. For example:

1. Important details like the glow that Edward himself described like the skin of a killer and Bella said that it shine like if he had diamonds in his skin, in the movie that shine look like sparkles in the body of the actor.

2. The inhuman beauty of Rosalie who was compared in the book with a greek godess was played by an actress that isn’t pretty enough for the role.

3. The old computer where Bella was looking for the information about vampires, in the movie she was looking for legends of the Quileutes in a mac book of the last generation.

4. The meadow described in the book as a colorful and sunny place, in the big screen looks like a creepy place with trees.

5. And finally the Studio Ballet’s scene where Bella ironicly was able to scape easily from Alice and Jasper and then James just touching her leg, he breaks it and bites her wrist rather than bite her hand.

The movie has been sucessful thanks to the book’s fame not for the quality of the adaptation, but anyway Stephenie Meyer wins all the credit because she is the author of the saga and even plays an extra in the film. The critic says that she’s the new J. K. Rowling because when the seventh Harry Potter’s book was second in the bookstore in front of the third book of the Meyer’s saga Eclipse, the readers figured out that now the wizards will have to fight with the vampires for the fame.
