The Purple Rose of Cairo

 I enter the class and walk toward desk. Taking the backpack out of the way I pull the chair out and sat down. Sitting down I thought to myself, "What is she going to teach us today."  While think this I look up and saw the screen that said "the purple rose of Cairo". I wonder want it was and in that instant Ms. Killeen said, "We are watching the movie that you choose." I look up the screen and Ms. Killeen click play and the movie stared.

The film "ThePurple Rose of Cairo" directed by Wooden Allen it telling us about how reality and fiction are so different from each other but we need both of them in our lives. The movie that was showing in the movie theater show us how the fiction life is easier and everything was perfect. We can see this by the away the characters in the movie of the movie theater wear glamorous clothes, they always were in parties and music was really happy. Also we see this when one of the character in the movie said, "Choose Tom, he does not have flaws".  The real life was so different fiction life. We see the real life outside the movie theater was people wear gray colors and they have trouble find job. Cecilia life is falling apart, she does not have a good job, her husband those not have job and she in unhappy. There is one part on the movie when someone see, "Fiction characters want to be real and real people want to be fiction". Basically every time Cecilia went to the movie she was escaping real life to go to the fiction one. When Cecilia is with Tom the fictional character the background music tell us that she is happy and does worry about anything. She is escapes from her life but it did end she goes back it. The last scene on the movie shows us how even though Cecilia has a lot of sadness the fiction brings her happiness.

The light when up and with big letters it said, "End". I was shock because I like the movie and i learned something for it. That in is life we need to have little bit of fiction and real because fiction makes us happy and real teach us about life.

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken

By Robert Frost 1874–1963 Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Philippians

Sittingin on the front desk listening to the teacher say "Open your bible to Philippians please". I could hear people flying the page of the bible to Philippians. Little by little the room got noisier and noisier until you could not hear your voice. Until in a strong loud voice the teacher said, "be quiet I trying to teach if you keep talking I will send you homework".  All of the sudden the class became quiet and we listen to the teacher. I put my hand on the face and i could only see the mouth of the teacher moving. On the other hand, I was thinking why Philippians was important and what is the meaning of this book?

The book of Philippians was written by the apostle Paul around AD 61 or 62. He wrote this book in Rome during time he was in prison. The primary purpose why Paul wrote this letter was to thank the Philippians for their concern and gift when they knew he was in jail. This was not only the purpose of his writing. The other reasons are he wanted them to know how he was in jail, encourage them to stand firm in any circumstances, to be unity, and the last thing was to commend Timothyand Epaphroditus to the church. Basically the letter is show the appreciation he had for the church of Philippians because they support him with his ministry. Also he encourages them to live out the faith with joy and unit. It really important this letter because it teach us that as beliefs we need to live in harmony with one another. It comes from mutual following the savior and centering their lives in Christ give them joy. We can apply this today because it we have harmony with God and with other people we will have joy. With this joy we could help others.
Suddenly I heard I loud voice in my ear saying, “Vero are you paying attention to me?” With a shacking voice I answer, “Yes”. In a high voice tone she said, “So tell me want was I saying?” she looked at me with an angry face. I was going to answer but the bell ring. When I left the class I thought this book need to be really important because we have bible class only for this book.

Paradox

I was looking for something to put on the blog, when i found this picture. It said, 

"Paradox. Some paths are attached.(but in different dimensions)".  It was very cool to see this photo because it tells the true about life. In life we have a path that can take use two ways. we have the good path and the bad path. It was really interesting seen how one of the men in the photo is trying to jump and the other one is only walking in the bridge.

My vacation Ruined

The bright sun shining in my face as I heard the sound of the waves. it was the perfect day of my life until hear my mom with panic voice, "quickly get your this we are going to the hospital". I was really angry that my vacations were ruined but my sister was more important. Her face was cover in tears and she was in a fetus position. She was moan, “it hurt, it hurt". I was so worried about her.

It all stared in a beautiful day when in a happy voice my parents said," get read kids we are going to the beach".

I had big smile in my face because love the sound of the waves and hot sand in my feet. With exciting voice, “yes, let’s go have fun.” My sister and I put are swimming suit. My parents brought the sunscreen so we do not get burned. I remember that we play all morning in the cold water. Until shouting vice of my mom said, “came back you are too far away.” My sister and I with a grumpy face went back to the shore.

We decided that stead of going again to the cold water, we will tan. With a bossy voice she said, “Go get the bronzer and two towels”.  I got the two towels and she said, “know put them in the floor.”  I was so innocent that I did everything she said.

After a few minutes I wanted to go  back to the water but she said, “No we are going back home because I need to take a shower.” When she told me that my face turned red I felt like I was in fire. I try to say something but my mom said, “You need to go with your sister.” With my arms cross I went back home with her.

When we got home she went to the shower that was outside of the house. I sat on a chair waiting for her to get out. When she finish, she walked towards the front door leaving the floor wet. She put the key in the front door and tries to open it. She could not open it; it was like the door was stuck. After trying for a few minutes I said, “Can I try opening the door”.  She looked me straight in the eyes and said, “No I do not need your help”.  My sister pulled too hard for them key and she slipped on the water. I opened my mouth as she fell to the ground. I being to laugh but then I saw the face of my sister that was in pain and tears falling from her eyes. With a shocking voice a said, “Are you ok?” With pain she answers, “No, I think I broke my arm”.

I enter in panic so I called my mom and as fast as she could she came home. When she got home, she put my sister in the car and took her to the hospital. My sister was in the right thing, she had a broken arm.  My sister ruined my vacation in my favorite place.
