A GOOD BOOK TO READ



One of my favourites books are Harry Potter. J.K. Rolling, who wrote this saga, was a fabulous writer. The books were so successful that of each book they made a movie. That saga has got seven books each one have his movie. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint interpret the three main characters of the book: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.

These books were written to attract the most infantile and young public, since many youths like the science fiction. The argument is the fight among Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort. The books explain each battle with Lord Voldemort. In them there are many details and that fascinates the readers. The three main characters are adolescent magicians, which study in Hogwarts. This school is a castle his localization is in the world of the magicians, very different to the world of the humans also called "muggles ".

There are a lot of reasons why I like these books and these films. First, I like a lot the science fiction. Secondly, the films are very well made. Finally, I like a lot the form of writing of J. K. Rolling.
I would recommend these books and these films to everybody that they like the science fiction and the unreal things.

THE COMPUTERS AND THE PRIVACY


The computers since a lot of years are part of our life. Every time there are more people that uses them to work, to study or to have a good time. Thanks to them the communication has become more and more easy, overalls the communication at distance via Internet to Explore. One of the most used programs is the Messenger. The Messenger is an excellent program for the communication of the people, be which be they place, without having to pay as the phone calls.

A lot of people use it when they travel or a time passes outside of house to communicate with its friends or its family... but it has his inconvenience. Young people use these programs to speak with well-known that many times are people that you often saw at school or they don't know of anything.
And it’s then when you reach the conclusion and you ask to yourself: To what extent is it good to use these programs or to speak so unworriedly with unknown? The Messenger can be of great utility while you know how to control the hours and the time that you dedicate him and to what extent you explain your things or you allow to see your personal information to unknown people.

Internet Explorer is an excellent and effective communication but it isn’t necessary to abuse of her, since all abuse finishes being harmful for anyone. Therefore, it should be had it presents that a person can speak for the Messenger a while a day but spend the day in front of the computer like a lot of people are not advisable, just the opposite: a bad habit that would have to be solved.

THE RULES IN THE SCHOOLS


Today in the schools, the disciplines aren’t enough to control the students.
ESO classes seem a zoological where the animals are the students, since it is obligatory. In high schools, that usually doesn’t happen because it isn’t obligatory for the students.
The professors are tired of tolerating to bad-mannered children, for which sews they would have to try to put remedy to this. To be a professor today is a difficult profession if one doesn't have a very cold character, because for deal with students one has to have a lot of cold blood and to be a little grumpy. There are few people that want to be devoted to the teaching of big, when seeing the difficulty that it implies.
In the class, they act as wild animals, because of that I think that they need more discipline. The professors are too soft, they would have to be imposed more so that the students paid them attention. I believe that imposing more rules won't solve anything. What we would have to make is to impose us and that the students fear us enough as so that they pay us attention. The punishments are important because they make to think the students on what they have made. I believe that we have to use them in punctually cases, because the student gets used and they don't affect him.
I think that if the teachers don’t try to be more serious and imposed more than now, the students never won’t have them more respect. If the punishments are used in opportune moments, they will affect more than now.

CURIOSITY of vampires


TYPES OF VAMPIRES, according the Country

The deep Europe trembled before the epidemic, and the word vampire appeared for the first time to name that, that the Central European peasants called with different names for centuries. In lands of Bosnia, the “blausauger” (the bloodsucker), lacked bones and he was able to become a rat or a wolf, property that shared with the “farkaskoldus” of Hungary and the “Vlkodlak” of Serbian.

The “bruculacas” of Greece also removed an unbearable smell and its skin, the same as the Serbian vampire, was tight as that of a drum and reddish.

There were infantile vampires, as the Serbian "kuzlak" that was formed starting from a “mort blanca” pulled up to their mother and whose behaviour was more annoying than terrible. The infantile vampires, was as the “Rumanian moroï”, formed starting from a one died newly born by their own mother before being baptized, too.

There were vampires with a single hole in the nose, as the Bulgarian “Krvopijac”. There were also vampires with strange deformities, as the Rumanian “strigoi” that could have goose paws, of goat or of horse.
The Russian “upir” had the language in sting form.
The Albanian “liuvgat”, so that there was not doubt on the origin of the local fears, he had Turk aspect and he walked on some high heels.

In conclusion, the Balkan Peninsula was a place with different kind of vampires, and the means to combat them were also of the most varied thing.


SYSTEMS to combat them

To combat the vampires, you need to cut the vampire and to boil it in wine, in the case of the “burculacas”.
In the case of the “krvopiíac” they need to put on their casket a branch of wild rosebush; or of thorn, in that of the “kuzlak”.
For eliminated the “vlkodlak” that thorn branch had to put in the navel and then, to fasten him fire with a candle used to veil to a dead.



ORIGIN and DISPERSION of the legends of vampires


From where did come so much fear at the bloodsuckers?
The fear comes of the sacred consideration of the blood like creator of the eternal life: the blood of the god Bel, creator of the world in the mythology of the old Babylon; Christ's blood in the Christian ritual.

The legends of vampires originated from this to west in company of the caravans along the route of the silk for the Mediterranean, of there they extended to Asia and then to the Slavic lands and the Carpatos.

The Gypsies emigrated from north toward the west of the India (where they have several myths of vampires), their myths already there mixed with those of the Slavic town. The Gypsies arrived shortly to Transylvania before Vlad Dracula was born in 1431. The vampire here was the ghost of a dead person that he had been a witch, magician etc. in most of cases.
Everybody is afraid with the vampires, because they kill people but at the same time they resemble them. But there are certain things that they differentiate them of an alive being: it can’t project any shade type neither and it can’t be reflected in any mirror.
The vampires can also change form, as a bat for example and that makes it extremely difficult of capturing.

When beginning a new day the vampires have to sleep in their caskets because the sunbeams would kill them, but at night they wake up thirsty of blood. The most common form of being nurtured is flying for a window, in bat form and then to bite the victim in the neck and suck they all blood. The vampires can’t enter to a house without being invited, but as soon as they have the permission, they can as often as them enter they want.

The vampire isn’t dangerous only because it kills people, he’s dangerous because their victims after dead become vampires.

The more strong side of the vampires is that they are almost immortal, some very special rites can only kill them such as: to nail a stake in their heart, to cut their head or to burn their body.


VAMPIRES, his history


There are many different legends and myths of old civilizations. The vampires usually are the main characters of thrilling terrify stories, that they have fed the human imagination for centuries.

The bloodsuckers have received different names and faces in the entire world, but only one has been able to become their emblem thanks to a movie: “Dracula”. Dracula is based on a historical character, the Rumanian prince Vlad Sods, created by the writer Bram Stoker. With his piece, Bram Stoker created a modern myth of terror.

What do the deads make at night? What do they feel in their suffocating earth channel? What do the deads want? These questions have visited the imagination of the humans every night from their existence.
Between religion speculations and realist arguments, a possible answer has always emerged able to freeze the heart:
They hate who survived them and they take advantage of the darkness, the Kingdom of the shades, to return of the tomb and to torment the alive people.
The man has always looked for a name to nominate them. The illnesses, disappearances and deaths of difficult explanation have been loaded from old in the dark bill of the deads that they return of the further on, anxious of blood: the vampires.

The biography of the vampire came of the past of the human species and in the swamp of its fears. But the same as the fear has many faces; the vampire has received very different names from all over the world, although one of them has become his emblem: Dracula.
May of 1897, 20 the door of the gloomy castle of the Cárpatos where the count Dracula habits, was opened up for the first time. The Irish writer Bram Stoker was a lover of the hidden sciences and member of the occult society Golden Dawn. In that date Stoker published a novel that will consecrate the figure of the vampire literarily and to transform Dracula into a modern terrifying myth.
But the biography of the vampire goes back a lot in the time before the novelist success of Stoker. It isn’t the biography of a literary character, is the biography of a supernatural being in whose existence has believed human beings' generations. During the XIX century the vampire had become a character more than the romantic aesthetics, reason of delightful frights and chills.


One century before, the myth of the vampire was not thing of amusement and entertainment. In the middle of Century of the lights, good part of Europe lived what has called you a vampirism epidemic.


The father Calmet, made a Treaty of vampires published in Paris in 1746, where it was shown sincerely convinced of a thing:

"For around about sixty years, a new scene offers to our life in Hungary, Vioravia, Silesia, Poland: They are come to dead men for several months that: they return, they speak, they go, they infest the towns, they mistreat the men and the animals, and they suck the blood of their neighbours.”
