Tegucigalpa - "Chicago style"

Bare center of America, 

Producer, diverse, fighters. 

Always being ran over,

and always being left behind. 

They say you are corrupt, and I would agree, 

as I have lived and seen the money disappear. 

They say there is too much poverty, for I would say, 

I have seen the people suffer, die, and fight for food or money.

They say we are "Golpistas", as we see our ex-president, 

Leave the country in pajamas to Costa Rica. 

"And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, 

and I gave them back the sneer and say to them:"

Show me a country which wouldn't fight for its democracy.

Who is flinging through the world with no poverty,

and a country who doesn't suffer of corruption. 

Lapping of jealousy, wants to have a piece of land! 

Country with the second best corral rife, our shark wale,

the mountains,

valleys, 

animals. 

I view you all with my killing eyes, 

as you say my city is not enough,

as you abstain to talk with the truth, 

and remove the negative bandage covering your eyes, 

and impulse you to open and see the beuties that this country, has behind.

Claire walked down the jam-packed hallway on this first day of school. She looked swiftly to her left then quickly to her right. She walked away and juxtaposes the flock of students. Was anyone keeping an eye on her? Although she ached to glimpse around, she kept looking directly ahead. However, it seemed that not an iota of her classmates looked at her as they walked hastily to their classes. 

Just Because

Just because:

By:Jean Luc Miralda

Just because I am the third brother doesn’t mean I am bad,

            Doesn’t mean I am not like every other one,   

            Doesn’t mean I am different,

            Doesn’t mean you can treat me diversely.

Just because I am no like you want me to be,

            Doesn’t mean I am dumb,

            Doesn’t mean I can’t do the same things they do,

            Doesn’t mean you are going to make me fall.

Just because I am a diver and not a swimmer,

            Doesn’t mean your not going to go to my competitions,

            Doesn’t mean I can’t go to all the tournaments they go,

            Doesn’t mean you won’t have to help me equally,

            Doesn’t men you won’t see me succeed.

Just because I wont get high A`s in my classes like they do,

            Doesn’t mean I am bad,

            Doesn’t mean they are better than me,

            Doesn’t mean you could out stand me as your black sheep,

            Doesn’t mean I won’t get a scholarship,

            Doesn’t mean you won’t help me because I am a lost case.

Just because I am your son,

            Won’t mean that you have to all ways be there for me,

            But it doesn’t mean you will never be.

Weird Set of Events leading to a Knock on the Door: 

By: Jean Luc Miralda

Me..At my house in a windy night!
http://www.studyzone.org/testprep/ela4/a/mysteryguy.gif

The night was getting dark, as the sunset was already despairing down the yonder. Many of the creatures living in our garden where now departing to all their previewed homes; afraid of the dark clouds that where heading down south. I had never seen clouds so mad as these ones; they brought lightning, rain, lots of unexpected air, and as always disaster. The people of the village where screaming like hell! The grocery store just beside our dark blue, wooden house was fooled out with people in less than 10 minutes, and as a matter of fact was left empty in less than 30.

I was barely scattered by the amusing rain which was to fall tonight. “Why do people start to get so scared upon some pieces of rain,” I thought, “it does not look like a hurricane at all, so why worry?” It was at this time when all the unexpected started to become real. A huge tornado was forming in the south of the valley and all the cattle were starting to go wild. Pigs started to jump over each other, chickens where trying to fly west, but that was definitely not useful by the way.

At this time a huge tornado had hit the corn crops in the south. This was some how weird. It started with no trace of clouds or storm coming from the south, and yet it was really thick for some moments and then changed to be really thin. This tornado wander around the corn crops and stopped, like if it was a turn on/off switch some where, and some one had turned it of. I barley got to sea what was happening. It had just when through the crops in some kind of pattern, and then stopped. It went straight; it afterward turned about 20 times to the right and to the left, until it despaired with a sudden “BOOM!” A big black whole was left in the middle of all this mess.

-“O my god, what was all that noise, what is happening?” asked the people in the town with anger, fear, and shock.

I just tried my best to shut my mouth even though it was a bit hard, because I know by memory all the people in this town. At night it seamed that the storm had disappeared, and that it had been a very good sales day for Mr. John, the owner of the Grocery. “Lets just take some rest, yet this is no time to be wandering around the house.” I said to my cat, Lady. It seamed like if she had understand me as she jumped out of my hands and went our running up to the bed room., something that she had never done before. This act left me perplexed, and a knock on the door brought me back to life as I was thinking in the stars.

A weird looking human was standing right in front of me. Like if nothing had actually happen with the storm falling out side.

-“Hello there sir. I am demonstrating a matter of help in this time!” said the man with a weird face which did not have a clear nose and eyebrows.

-“May I certainly ask you who you are and where you’re from?” I said with all due respect.

-“My name is Jean Valjean, as if you would please give some housing and food to stay over the night. It would be fantastic, and if you don’t have any place even then I would gladly stay in the stable. I just need a place to sleep. Yes indeed I am an ex-convict, but that was before, I’m looking for my family, and starting to work, so please, I beg you be merciful.” Said the weird dusty and muddy face standing in front of my door. It looked to me that he was in great need, but without knowing if I could actually trust this man or not.

I decided to let him stay in my old room in the second floor, just beside my room. A place where I could have a check on him; in what he is doing and looking for.

After leading him to his room I made diner, and he came down. I felt pretty miserable after all his stories. All he had to do for his family, and his own personal interest. We stood there all night talking about his long journey looking for his sister, mean while all the people where yet scared about the thunder storm that happened earlier that morning.

-“Hey did you notice the tornado which ruined all of corn crops?”  I asked.

-“Certainly, I saw it! I believe it was aliens who where trying to give us a sign!” he replied, but at that very moment we busted into a long laugh. “He was a good man” I thought, “doesn’t look like a convict to me.”

He stayed back at my place for a week or so, and yet I thought he was going to at least take something of my house but it wasn’t like that. He said he would come and visit me when he fined his family; and so it was that a week has gone by since Jean Valjean passed through my house looking for his sister.

"Prejudice in favor of New England"

Letters of John Adams to Abigail Adams

By: Jean Luc Miralda 

http://imagenes.sebuscaimagenes.com/img/graficos/imagenes/n/new_england_patriots-11701.jpg

Summary:

 This letter is talking about the colonies. It also talks about some kind of regulation that the English send. About all the english men who where decendants to their country. All the Atachments that John send were favoring the Englsih men!

Literary terms: 

• "It is to this infirmity, in my own heart, that I must perhaps attribute that local attachment, that partial fondness, that overweening prejudice in favour of New England, which I feel very often and which I fear sometimes, leads me to expose myself to just ridicule” (John Adams, 681).

  
  

  This quote represents the Rhetorical Device, Appeal to Emotions. John Adams is trying to portray the idea that he feels fear for something’s. In this case he said what he feels, and is trying to make the reader understand how he felt and why. This would make the reader understand that he personally felt this emotion! He also relies on representing his thought in an emotional way! 

  
  

  
  
• •“New England has in many respects the advantage of every other colony in America, and indeed of every other part of the world, that I know anything of” (John Adams, 681)

  
  

  In this other quote, the Rhetorical Device used is persuasion. At the time in which this quote is said, the content that follows it, is the conjucture of what he is trying to pursuade Abigail on understanding. He gives 5 points in which he explains various things to Abigail! He is trying to convince in the whole letter! It is important because in all the letter John in trying to convinve and to show his points to Abigail. 

Blog Post 4: "We love The British"

By: Jean Luc Miralda

http://www.sonofthesouth.net/revolutionary-war/patriots/patrick-henry-speech.jpg

          Mr. President: why should the idea of liberty came across the mind of our people. Have they not notice the great advantages that the British have given us upon their protection, and their knowledge? This has not to be the time for refusal and independence when we are yet beginning to know what we are really going to face upon our enemies or allies, the Indians? Yet we know little about the land we are living upon. Have you all not notice how our life have changed and how we have changed their lives? Our colonies are all dependant to this nation, for which we are in debt for giving us the opportunity of at least being here, and yet this man want to rebel against the and look for freedom!

          Freedom is yet a strong word to be using along now a day. We are yet not ready for an independent stage in this place we are living. It would be too risky to be left alone and with no protection and no Tea! Have you yet see a British in these colonies who do not drink any tea? By declaring independence we would cancel all treaties with the British nation, and this will bring chaos to our people. We are not formally settled in this continent, which will leave us in the air. We can not be subsiding our own colonies with our own production yet! We are not that powerful, and until we are they are the only ones willing to help us.

          The idea that Mr. Patrick inducted of being yet slaves of the British is obnoxious. From my point of view, we are only serving our queen and king, we are not being slaves, and yet they are still giving us the protection that we need. Being a slave for the British army is much better than being a slave for the Indians. We were told about the lady who got kidnapped by those animals, and it was said that she suffered with this people. It is also said that she was not only treated as an animal, but was seen and put to work like one. I would totally agree that we are being slaves of the British queen and king, but I would prefer to serve the Queen and king, than to serve as this matter to the people that we yet don’t know, and that kill our people, and our home.

          Mr. President, and everybody else that is speaking up for the liberty, start thinking! What is going to be our destiny if we are left alone with no military support, and with no help or care of the king and Queen? What will be of the families that will loose all they have because they where not protected and the Indians came and attacked them. Will we be able to live alone, and yet be receiving threats from the Indians? What will be our destiny if we can not over come the power of so many people who are willing to kill us as soon as the militaries are gone? Think about how your family will live, and what changes will begin to come to our so suffered economy. If being the path of slavery the one which will protect my family, then let it be for me and for ones who follow.

Blog Post #3: 'A surprise for the people'

By: Jean Luc Miralda

                    People of the Nation; it is time for us people, to have a change. We need to be granted freedom by somebody, an impartial person who could make great decisions for which the country and every nation will be satisfied. I state today, that the people should know that any kind of person has a regime of corruption, and may be exposed to the influence of other persons, and for this and many other reasons, I have thought: Why not remove the existing person commanding our country, and place this famous but yet very intelligent animal, which everybody calls “Paul”?

                    Yes in deed, and octopus as our president would be the most impressive, and outstanding remark ever done to our people. You maybe think its crazy, but it is all the way around. Think about it this way. He will not be corrupt. There is no way that this octopus can be corrupted by any person of the congress can play a special part in any of his verdicts. He will be the cleanest and yet most popular president that has ever come around the people of this world. If yet it he also presents many advantages, for which the people should know what is the best decision they could make for the major coop that this country should do.

As you can see this is one of his predictions and an example of how he elect th people!

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorzfvYp93KJZAbILeiedHFZFZWyOvnbtYqhQPWuyr4PaBeg0PMYgitoTs-X4obv2x4ZwOX4zmDJ8M-HH1i4RQxtlu67PuhyMqRTk0tcbjQ-KO_CeaIYZJQ7Ltrj2csaZGXc24peR6uPU/s1600/pulpo_paul_amlo_presidente_2012.jpg

                    If you still don’t know why to vote for him then get ready for this. Little genius, and I call him is not only non-corruptible, but yet he is a wizard. He can predict anything for anybody and it has been proven that his efficiency is up in a 9/10 range, which means that this is the kind of animals that we are looking for; an animal that can make the right decisions for the people. As if this was not enough, his international relationships and popularity can produce a high increment of truism and of political power over other countries, and yet still be in hand for any person of the nation who would have liked to visit him at any time and try to get a suggestion or a help area between them.

The people after recieving the news. (My audience)

                    Given the opportunities of this great massive regeneration of our president, there will be people who would not want to follow us, but that’s ok. If you do not like the regimen that this wizard octopus will enforce to you, than you are more than welcome to leave the country, or stay under your own risk. His is not against any social groups, or common belief of other people and the freedom of speech will not be removed by this president, but yes it will be, only if the people are exceeding the limits of the disgrace, and the normal civilized people revolts.

                    As the preparations are getting started, so should the people be told, so that this process would be very transparent and will have its maximum efficiency over the laws and always thinking about the people. Yet we are challenging you to accept this challenge, and to try and se how much your family, your business, and everything you have will change into a more outstanding and beneficial rate.
