Children's behaviour... time ago and current time.

The story of Oliver twist shows many facts that belong to the same reality. One hand, the story is developed in a crowded England, in which the opportunities were not so much. On the other hand, the story developed the idea of a child who used to steal. Taking into consideration both topics, I can infer that, in a way, the society could be responsible for Oliver’s action. I am not saying that Oliver’s actions were right, but they may be occasioned because of the problems he had to face.
In today’s world, specifically in our country, there are some features that are closely connected with the English’s 19th society. Our city is very crowded. Most of people have a car and because of that streets are full of them. Related to public transportation, the problems that Santiaguinos had to live were several. There were not enough buses to move to the quantity of people that the city have. This problem showed to society how much people need to get a bus for many reasons.
Probably, England does not have this problem today, but there are others countries that are facing these problems now. I think every country have their time to face radical changes.

The signal man...

After reading this short story and discussing in class, I could appreciate how people were living during those days. On one hand, the population increased very fast, on the other hand the space for people to live was not big enough. However, people continued immigrating from the country side to the city.
The signal man represented the other side of this process. He preferred to live in the darkness of an inhabited place. Instead of spending time with the rest of the people, he lived his life by himself. With this fact, it can be understood that there some people who did not share the way the current society was being developed.
Nowadays, it is hard not to be in contact with people, at least the way he did, because we lived in a very cooperative society. Everyone has a role to do; we are all part of a balance. It is difficult to imagine someone living underground and not sharing with others. What we can see are people who are very selective with their friends. They do not like to have relationships with many people.
I think we are all different. If someone decides to have a reduced group of friends, then that is OK.

Little Frank!

After reading this book, what called my attention the most was the discrimination that it has behind. In the moment that Frankie was born, the society immediately started to highlight his differences. It is very unfair that people judge others just by their characteristics. It is common to see people making fun of others, but the problem with these actions is that they do not know the way their “victims” may feel.
I am not sure about others countries, but at least in our reality people use to make fun of others without any consideration.
Nowadays, there is a definition called bullying that deals with problems; especially at schools. Every day children are more and more disrespectful with other kids. They embarrass them because of any feature they have. These features may be considered as “not common” by their classmates and this characteristic is enough to start bothering his/her.
I strongly believe that parents and teachers should work to eliminate these actions, because they are starting to be more common day after day.

daffodils...

Wordsworth bases his poem on nature features. He talks about daffodils, clouds, trees, etc. He tries to express his feeling through these elements. I feel he writes this poem with the intention of showing to people he has another option, in terms of sexuality. Probably, he is not accepted by people as he would like to be. Maybe, he compares himself with platns, which are always with other plants around, whereas he is not as surrounded of people as he would want.
Clearly, homosexuality is an issue difficult to develop. In todays' world, discrminiation sound loudly when people refer to the persons who have deceided to take others ways. I think this option is up to everybody. If someone decides to take this alternative that's fine, anyway, that's his/her life. The only thing that I do not like of some homosexuals it's when they pursue to other people to change their status. I do not share these sort of attitudes, apart from that, they have their life and I have got mine...
