A different kind of Antropology
I am going to choose the post 2, "Who is a person/expert on your field that you admire?" and the person who i admire maybe is not an expert, maybe he is not a famous anthropologist, but he sees the anthropology in a different way than the most of people i have heared. He is Daniel Quiroz, my university teacher of anthropology.
I really could not give you more information about him, like a biography or something like that, because like i said, he is not a really famous guy, but i can tell you why i like him. He speaks about anthropology with love, he says "anthropology is an art" and makes poems about the ethnography. On the contrary, the most of my teachers has tried to say that the anthropology is a science. I do not know if the anthropology is a science or not. I really do not care about that. I think the anthropology could be beatiful, like Daniel Quiroz says " An art", i think there are many different ways to say something or to see something. Maybe, if the anthropologists were not thinking about " is the anthropology a sciencie?" they could do a lot of differents thing. But unfortunately in our world the science is the voice. The "only one truth". If the anthropology was not a science, nobody would put attention about it. i know that. But anyway, i think personally, the "Daniel Quiroz anthropology" is more beautiful and makes me feel better. I think, with all respect, that is more anthropology. I think the anthropologist should not be worried about the science. We should enjoy our job doing it of our own way. If i want to make a song about a social group, i should can do it, and nobody should tell me "That is less anthropology". I really admire the point of view from Daniel Quiroz. He gives me back the wish to study anthropology.

Task 3: the last movie i saw
The last movie that i saw was "How to train your dragon".
This is a cartoon movie to children, but i have to accept i enjoyed it a lot. I went with my girlfriend to see it. We laughted a lot.
The movie is not simple; it has a lot of deep messages to self reflect about them.
It is the history about a viking town, and the vikings who lived there hated the dragons, and always fighted and tried to killed them. In this town lived a boy, son of the strongest and famoust warrior of the town, but this guy was not a good viking; he was a really thin boy. Someday this boy, i can not remember his name, in the middle of a battle between dragons and vikings, shooted to something. He said "I shooted to "furia nocturna" the most terrible dragon". But nobody trust him, because anybody had seen a "furia nocturna" ever. He went for a walk too sad,and suddenly saw a dragon trapped: It was the "furia nocturna". He was right! Then he just had to killed it and he'd be famous, but he couldn`t killed. He helped to the dragon to scape, and became in its friend. Later his father founded out this and cought the dragon to find out its home and then kill all the dragons.
The boy, who had learned that the dragons were not really bad, and his friends took the dragons of the city and went to save the dragons and stop the war between dragons and vikings. They got it, then vikings and dragons live toghether now, helping themselves.
Characters: The boy, i think is called Hipo
The dragon called "furia nocturna"
Other characters are not principal, but are 4 friends and the father of Hipo.
I liked this movie a lot, because it's funny but give us an advice about the violence and the less tolerance. We can live with different people in peace. We always can learn something new of other people. Discriminating is not good. In general we discriminate the different, but we lose a lot of knowledges for that.
Nice movie, very fun. See it :)

Task 2- My earthquake experience
I went to a party with some friends and I hadn´t seen them for a long time because I was on holidays with my family. Around 3 a.m, I decided to go home, because I was bored and tired. I waited for the bus for 30 minutes, but the bus didn´t come. At 3:30 a guy who was riding a bike talked to me and said: "hey buddy, you have been there too long. Do you want to smoke a cigarette? "I accepted his invitation, because I was bored and shivering by cold. I got close of him and I started smoking and we started to talk. Suddenly we heared a sound like a big truck, and the earthquake started. We thought that it was going to be a small earthquake, but it continued. We couldn’t be on foot and we started to turn a lot to see the trees and the electric poles moving a lot by the earthquake. We were afraid because the poles and trees could fall. When the earthquake was over, each one took his own way. I walked to the principal avenue, and I could see that buses were not in the bus stop. But I was lucky. A man passed in front of me, and I could see that he was a bus driver. I followed him, because I knew the buses always stop for bus drivers. I was right. A few minutes later a bus stopped, and I took the bus with the driver. While I went home, I could see that the bus didn´t stop to anyone else, and I felt sorry about it, but I really needed to go to my home quickly to see my family. When I arrived at home and I could see that some things were broken but my parents and my little brother were fine. We cleaned the mess and tried to sleep.
Task 1
My name is Gabriel Recabarren, i am 18 and i am studying anthropology, first year.
I am studying anthropology because i think that this carreer can create useful knowledges for the society. I think the actual life style is not the best. I prefer more the "primitive way" for living. We should learn a lot about it.Humans used to be more polite with the nature and other people than now. In othe other hand our civilization is killing the environment and humans because of the racism, sexism and religious things. I think we must change it and think about our actual relation with the earth and its creatures, and the anthropology could be a tool to get a better self reflection. .The most of people do not respect other cultures. I think we must change and think about our actual relation with the planet and its creatures, and the anthropology could be a tool to get a better self reflection.
