HW2: My first bicycle

I’ll never forget the day in which I bought my first bicy.

I was only 12 years old, was October and my friend Mike and I decided to buy our news bicycles, the money?..... Well, it will come from the coffee picking season.

That was a hard summer for both. I worked so hard during several months, but after all that work and with a little help from my mam, I did it, I went out of the bicy store that December 24 with my new and first bicy, it cost ₡13.450 .  I finished paying the bicy two months later, but from March it was fully mine.

Today, many years after that day, I remember my first bicy, all work and all happiness it represented in my life and mainly,   the lesson I learned that year:  the importance of hard work in order to obtain what I want and the satisfaction of a work well done.

HW2 Movie: A few good men

Daniel Kaffee, is an inexperienced lawyer who leads the defense in the court-martial of two Marines, who are accused of murdering a fellow Marine of their unit at the Guantanamo Bay Naval in Cuba.

After long and stressful situations, the lawyer proves that marines just fulfilled a “Red Code” (a kind of informal punishment for Marines, in order to ensure that those ones follow procedure) ordered by the commanding officer of Guantanamo Bay. At the end of the movie, Commander admits his guilty in an uncontrolled outburst. The final verdict for Marines is: not guilty on the murder charges; however, both are dishonorably discharged for death of the man.

I like this film because shows us that sometime the lawmaker don´t has the reason and many times, who is in charge to protect the fulfillment of laws abuse of these  without punishment; many times due to these person has a lot of power. In the another hand, the movie shows us how our moral rules sometimes are against some orders that we receive and we must to decide what to do: break the rules (laws) and be fine with our conscious and be punished or fulfill the laws and live fighting with our conscious

What the word Halloween means

I like the idea of customes and some candies, but being honest I don’t celebrate Halloween day in anyway.  But what is the Halloween origin, resulted interesting to me.

The word Halloween is a contraction of three words: All-Hallows-Evening (Even), which refers to the  night before All Hallows Day  (All Saints’ day) which is celebrated on November 1st, really close to the All Souls’day (in CR we refers to these day like Death People’s Day or so) which is celebrated on November 2.

I think those all celebrations are very related and is a way of humanity to confront the life and fun against to the idea of death and a way to mix both in a celebration full of scare, customs, fear and candies…Buuuuu
