easter

Many Americans follow the tradition of coloring hard-boiled eggs and giving baskets of candy. The Easter Bunny is a popular legendary anthropomorphic Easter gift-giving character analogous to Santa Claus in American culture. On Easter Monday, the President of the United States holds an annual Easter egg roll on the White House lawn for young children. New York City holds an annual Easter parade on Easter Sunday.In some countries where Christianity is a state religion, or where the country has large Christian population, Easter is a public holiday. Some European and other countries in the world also have Easter Monday as a public holiday. In Canada, both Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are public holidays. In province of Quebec, either Good Friday or Easter Monday (although most companies give both) are statutory holidays. Two days before Easter Sunday, on Good Friday, is a public holiday as well. In Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, both Easter Sunday and Easter Monday are public holidays. It is a holiday for most workers except some shopping malls which keep open for half day. Many businesses give their employees almost a week off called Easter break.In the United States, Easter Sunday is a flag day but because Easter falls on a Sunday, which is already a non working day for federal and state employees, it has not been designated as a federal or state holiday. Few banks that are normally open on regular Sundays are closed on Easter. Some retail stores, shopping malls, and restaurants are closed on Easter Sunday, although this practice is declining. Good Friday, which occurs two days before Easter Sunday, is a holiday in 12 states. Even in states where Good Friday is not a holiday, many financial institutions, stock markets, and public schools are closed. Historically, schools have given extended spring breaks of one to two weeks around the Easter holiday, but this practice has been declining in favor of fixed one-week recesses around Washington's Birthday and in late April.

ignatius of loyola

St. Ignatius of Loyola was a Spanish knight from a local noble family, hermit, priest since 1537, and theologian, who founded theSociety of Jesus (Jesuits) and was its first Superior General. Ignatius emerged as a religious leader during theCounter-Reformation. Loyola's devotion to the Catholic Church was characterized by absolute obedience to the Pope.
After being seriously wounded in the Battle of Pamplona in 1521, he underwent a spiritual conversion while in recovery. De Vita Christi by Ludolph of Saxony inspired Loyola to abandon his previous military life and devote himself to labour for God, following the example of spiritual leaders such as Francis of Assisi. He experienced a vision of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus while at the shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat in March 1522. Thereafter he went to Manresa, where he began praying for seven hours a day, often in a nearby cave, while formulating the fundamentals of the Spiritual Exercises. In September 1523, Loyola reached theHoly Land to settle there, but was sent back to Europe by the Franciscans.
Between 1524 and 1537, Ignatius studied theology and Latin in Spain and then in Paris. In 1534, he arrived in the latter city during a period of anti-Protestant turmoil which forced John Calvin to flee France. Ignatius and a few followers bound themselves by vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. In 1539, they formed the Society of Jesus, approved in 1540 by Pope Paul III, as well as his Spiritual Exercises approved in 1548. Loyola also composed the Constitutions of the Society. He died in July 1556, was beatified by Pope Paul Vin 1609, canonized by Pope Gregory XV in 1622, and declared patron of all spiritual retreats by Pope Pius XIin 1922. Ignatius' feast day is celebrated on July 31. Ignatius is a foremost patron saint of soldiers, the Society of Jesus, the Basque Country, and the provinces of Guipúzcoa and Biscay.

Madagascar's report

Madagascar III

To be honest I didn´t  pay attention to the movie, it was very difficult for me to concentrate on it, in first place because it didn´t caught me, and other thing was that with the three levels together it became a mess, listening to the movie was a challenge for me.

The parts of the movie i saw  were terrible!, I know is a children movie, but they are not fools, you can´t make a cheap animated movie and sell it as a good one. I mean there lots of good children movies,The beauty and the Beast was nominated for the Oscar,a film that has more tan a decade and now with the technology  I canpt understand  why they did something like this!

As I remember the story is about the four friends that in Madagascar I travel from the zoo in New York City to Madagascar, to live in the jungle where they belong , Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe, and in Madagascar II they met the real family of alex, in this third movie they go to Montecarlo, and work in a circus owned bye penguins, they joined them  because they had a tour that had a function in New York, and they can´t wait to come back to the zoo.

I don´t understand what were they thinking when they créate the hunter, she was like a doggy-rat-girl or something that is not a human, and the penguins that i loved in the first movie now say things that don´t make anybody laugh.

For me the first movie was the best of the trilogy , it was very funny, creative, the characters had voices of famous like Jada Pinkett, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer. The second and third movie, for me, were just to make money. I didn´t like it.

Untouchables report

Untouchables

It seems like everybody watched this film before except me!  And I have to say I tried  to see it a lot of times. The first one I was going to see i ton the cinema with my sister and an aunt that invited us, the other time with my mom, and other times, that I had no time, or stuff like that.

I´m happy that we saw in the school, is not the movie theather but at least ther was a screen.  What everybody said was true, is a very moving and funny movie, I laughed a lot, of a very innocent humor, without bad words or double sense.

It´s so inspiring, I mean If Phillip could fly I cant see how people that are healthy dont try things just because of the fear. An unexpected firendship between a mature, White, rich man and Driss, his assistant, a black por man working for a paraplejic, and becoming friends sounds imposible, but the unbelievable thing is that this is a true story, there´s a Philippe, and a Driss in real life, with the exception that Driss is nota frican. At the beginning  i had the perception tha driss was being so mean with his boss, but maybe that was the reason he liked him, because he didn´t treat him like a sick person, or gave him a special treatment , that honesty maybe made them friends. Together they were untouchables, and unstoppables, they   could do anything the proposed. My favorite scene was when Driss danced, God! He´s so good dancer! The way he just move with the music, he´s just letting his soul to the rythym of the song. The life of Phil was so serious and boring, and Driss was the energy he needed , something different and new.

Report "The Devil wears Prada"

The Devil wears Prada

I have to say this is one of that movies that you can see a lot of times and yo never get bored, you know you’ll watch it again.

This is the story of a periodist called Andrea, a girl that is not interested in fashion, or magazines, she´s very Smart, but she isn’t the indicated to work in a fashion magazine like runway, and be the assistant of Miranda Priestly. She is the coldest, and the most hermetic boss. Some people say the character was inspired by Anne wintour, real editor of Vogue.

As the time passed, she transformed in a completely different girl, a good dressed Andrea, that does it excellent at work , whose personal life came down, her boyfriend broke up with her, has this “relation” with the writer Christian Thompson, a doublé face guy, that was only playing with her. She lost her old friends,and Emily, the new friend she made at work, in Runway.

At the end she understood what were the most important things for her. She leaves this shallow world, and tried to fix the mistakes she  made with the people she hurt.

Something interesting is that the movie shows a bit of how the fasion world is, stunning, amazing, funny, but is also shallow and cold, and is very hard to survive it being yourself. Everybody wants to be on the top and you risk a lot to make i ton this career.

I really like this movie, I mean Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci in the same movie, it was obvious it was going to be a hit. The cast was one of the best parts of the movie, I can´t imagine it with other actors. The clothes Andrea uses, every girl wants to use, of course I´m talking tha fashion addicted’s clothes, not the nerd Andrea’s.
