Caroline



It seems like a children's story, it ends up being a juvenile tale of terror, it's a mixture of fantasy and many elements of terror. It brings many morals and teachings to children.

The story begins when twelve-year-old Caroline moves in, feels lonely leaving her friends and goes to a  house in which other very peculiar people live. Her parents do not pay much attention to her and it is when she begins to fantasize, looks for adventures and is when she discovers a door that takes her to a parallel world, but different. With the same parents, but they dot have the eyes. , the parallel universe has the same house but more beautiful, better food, parents give a lot of dedication to Caroline. The mother of the other world proposes that she will make her happy if she stays in that world it would make a perfect life for Caroline but that she should change her eyes and put on the buttons.

The most important thing of the book is that although she saw many things that she liked more about the other world, Caroline has to save her parents and not choose the things that she likes o preferred, she is brave. It is a dilemma that teaches us to grow to do what we should do against what gives us more pleasure and we want to do.

Another lesson is to learn to value what we have . what happened to Caroline thought that the house she had found had better food better parents who paid attention, even the dolls saw them better. The perfect things are not only the apparent ones, as the saying goes, not everything that shines is gold.

The way the writer conducts the book is very interesting, he goes to many symbols to generate that parallel world with elements associated with horror stories like the buttons in the eyes, the door that leads to the next world, the talking animals, mirrors, the cat and the misses

transmetropolitan

Spider Jerusalem lives in a love-hate relationship with the people of the city. The city if a futuristic cyberpunk. his is a strong and different character, he is not the typical character that you can find in some other book. In this comic one can find what is cyberpunk.  the effect that technology will influence us in the future. when can also see who the middle class will be involved with technology, and how it is to live in a big city in the future.  One of Spider's characteristics is his rebellion against things. when I was rearing the comic i feel like spider did not care about anything. when The story starts when Spider was in alone in the mountains talking to someone. This part for me make was confusing because at that time I did not see any signs of cyberpunk until he enters the city. The character will introduces us to the city. Cyberpunk often serves as a metaphor for current concerns about the effects and control of corporations over people, the corruption of go...

Hobbit

I liked this book a lot because it does not have the typical hero  that you can  find  in the movie or books. Bilbo, a person who at first looks scared cowardly, manages to help the dwarves and take them to the sacred mountain. In the book, Bilbo's personality is growing and becoming more solid. In the end, he returns to his region after an unexpected trip, with a treasure of a trip and experiences with the dwarves. The book tells how Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who lives in a region enjoys the comfort of his home, but embarks on an adventure with a company of magician Gandalf. He convinces him to leave his home with some dwarves in search of the ancient kingdom of Dwarves Erebor and Solitary Mountain. There lies a Dragon that does not allow anyone to enter. In the book, several adventures are covered, the dwarves and Bilbo must overcome different challenges. Among the different adventures, Bilbo finds a magic ring that will be the beginning of the trilogy of the Lord of th...

The mirror and the bell

The reading of  The Mirror and the Bell  makes me reflect on negative emotions such as fear, anguish, anger, and jealousy that keep a person in a state of suffering because he does not release them. These emotions are represented in the story of the reading by the farmer's wife's mirror. For the farmer's wife, the mirror represented the tradition of her family. Her attachment to that tradition did not let her go to make a bell. The process of replacing the mirrors with the bell is important. The life is a mirror that shows us our attachments like money and people, that help us progress. We must seek to detach ourselves and find emotions of generosity, of help, and that seek a common good. This is present in the story, by the community who was very happy to collaborate with the bell, and how generously they detached themselves from their mirrors. These feelings of guilt of donating the family mirror, led the farmer's wife to take her own life and cursed the bell, so...
