The last post



Oh the last post ...  time passed so so fast, I can’t believe it.
Today I'm going to tell you about something I like to do, and it's reading, I'm always reading something new and I'm currently reading a very good book, it's called "dead souls" and it's about Chichikov, a gentleman of middle class and social position. Chichikov arrives in a small town and quickly, despite his limited funds, shows an ostentation of wealth and power, which will help him gain the contacts and influences he will need for his plan; his strange and mysterious plan: acquire dead souls.
Chichikov's mission to acquire dead souls is a complicated plot to inflate his social position. He hopes to collect the legal property rights of the dead servants to inflate their apparent wealth and power.
Once he acquires enough souls of the dead, the central government, according to the number of "servants" he has, will award him lands with what he will retire to a farm and will obtain a huge loan for them, getting the acquisition of the great wealth he wanted.
Chichikov thinks that the ignorant provincials will be more than willing to give their "dead souls" in exchange for a symbolic payment.
Cleverly manages to acquire some 400 souls and returns to the city to legally register transactions. He is treated like a prince among the officials and townspeople and a celebration is held in honor of his purchases. However, Nozdriov and the greedy Koróbochka will complicate the situation.
It's really a great story, but I will not tell you more to encourage you to read this book.
Fraternal greetings friends

1. Egypt

One of the many countries that I would like to visit is Egypt, since I was a little girl I dreamed about how this people build that pyramids only with their bodies and minds and how perfect they are. I’m in love about their history; they have some of the earliest developments of writing, paintings, urbanization, agriculture, etc. It’s always interesting to me read about myths and legends of Egyptian goddess. If I go there I definitely visit the valley of kings to see the tomb of Twosret and Setnakht, the pyramids of Giza and the temple of Abu Simbel to see the statues of Ramesses. I would like to study and live there for a couple of years; their culture and their religion are things that blow my mind, I think I can learn so much about their custom through the people, I mean the essence of the country is the people who lives there, and how they lives their life’s. And is always better learn about things doing those things.

2. Best Holidays

My best holiday it was this summer. It was the first time I went on vacation with my friends to a place so far away from my home, we went to Chiloé for a little more than a week. I traveled with my friends Alexis and Rodrigo and once there, we got together with other friends who were in Chiloé; Karen, Coti, Ivan, Espe, Vale, Cris and Aline. It was very fun because we were 10 people living in a house, cooking for 10 and watching TV all together in the same room (having more rooms). We stayed at the house for 5 days touring Queilén and then we started another trip to Ancud, where we ate soup and camped on the beach. That day there was a beautiful sunset. It has been the best vacation because it was very fun to live and share with my friends and see the beautiful landscapes of Chiloé, Also, I love winter and being in the winter, in summer, it was something that I really liked.

4. After Sociology

Think about what I would like to do when I take my university degree, it is a bit difficult because there is still a lot of time left, but I would like to do a magister or some courses of the social work career, it is a career that I like a lot and I think that combining what we learn in sociology with what social workers learn is a sure success; I would like to do it in Chile and I think that the idea of ​​a magister is what most catches my attention. Another area where I would like to do a specialization is in education, maybe sociology of education, or something similar. And of course, in feminism, I think sociology as a way of creating knowledge, but that knowledge only serves if it helps the people involved in the research. A specialization in gender issues would allow me to help some women to have better living and working conditions specifically. In this way, I believe that education and gender are the themes that are so related and at the same time are approached from socia...
