NEWS (1): Muammar Gaddafi, the monster died.

BBC.COM:

LYBIA PLANS SECRET BURIAL FOR MUAMMAR GADDAFI:

"If they kill him 1,000 times, I think it will not pay back the Libyans what he has done. We've lost over 70,000 of our best men because of this monster."


The quote say it all.
A few weeks away, I saw on tv that Muammar Gaddafi died. This wasn't impressed me. This man had to pay for all the people who died because of him.
I know that some people will think that i'm cruel because supposedly, you can't wish the death of anyone.

But this man deserved it.
Althought,as the man from bbc news, I think that if they will kill him so many times, they can never bring back this people from the death.

And they cannot turn off the pain of the dead's families.

STRANGE FAIR STORY:

The history of an ugly duck:

Once upon a time, there was a duck's family.

"Mother duck" has five beautiful little ducks:

"Duck 1" has a soft and brown body with orange peak; "Duck 2" became a robust and strong duck; "Duck 3", has beautiful and funny voice; "Duck 4", the beauty of a lady duck,with yellow body and black deep eyes (acquired from her mother duck). And finally, "Duck 5": the favourite son of father duck (who died in a fight with family dog).

They were an exemplary family: all the ducks in the village loved the family duck; even the rich ducks!

One day, "Mother Duck" in one of her many walks with their little ducks, found a black duck lost in the forest.

"Mother Duck" was kind, and she adopted the black and strange duck as his son.

The others little ducks didn't like the new brother that they had...

When "Mother duck" died, the ducks began to make bullying to the black duck:
"You're so ugly, brother!", "The ducks doesn't have black body! You're different!", "You're weird", "You're bigger than the others!",...

The farmer who had the ducks, even mistreated him:

"Is this duck black? He doesn't serve to make eggs or soup!"

The black duck, became sad.

And one day, decided to escape from his village to found the peace in his soul...
He travelled many miles on foot. He faced many dangers on his travel: and black duck has grown mentally (his body also became big, and learned to fly!)
He learned to love himself.

And unlike the famous duck of the story, he doesn't become a swan. But in a beautiful and stately raven.

The raven decided to return to his old village to watch the lives of his brothers wile he was flying:

The beauty of his brothers didn't save them, because they didn't had his raven's freedom. So they died and became farmer's soup.
The raven, so proud of himseld, realized that he like to be a crow!

And he devoted the rest of his life traveling around the worls and to steal the jewels of all the farmers of the village for revenge.

And all the people live happily and ate soup every day!



THE END.

ADRIAN MOLE vs Thirteen:

2.The differences between Adrian Mole's diary and Thirteen:

The most biggest difference between Adrian Mole and Thirteen, is that the book is a satire of the problems that a teenager might have.
Talks about the typical problem of the spots on adolescence, the evolution of the body, the first love, the separation from folks,...

Thirteen is a reflection of the social problems that a teenager can have with a realistic and dramatic view.

We can say that Adrian Mole's diary is made to laugh at the stupid things that teenagers sometimes make.

The book wants to show us that we past through a similar time with similar problems, and if we look at it in perspective, it's quite ridiculous and funny how we complicate our lifes!

Thirteen wants to show us the inside of the teenagers to aware us of the problems that can have this girls and boys because of the outside influences.

So, Thirteen isn't made to laugh. It's made to think of the reality of our world.

PROJECT 1: Thirteen, the movie. (part 1)

THIRTEEN vs Adrian Mole:

1.Topics: DRUGS

So, I think that the most important topic on the movie is DRUGS:

The way to hide problems and be happy (for a few hours).

Represents that teenagers are on time of rebellion that makes them want to seek independence and the approval of the world.

And If you're in a world full of people who consume, what will you do to feel accepted? taking drugs.

This is the problem of Tracy.

Surely, if she had told Evie that she didn't want to try marijuana or pot, Evie had left Tracy because was a “no-cool girl” and Tracy would return to his little-cool life .... Or simply have consumed

Tracy decided to consume and be a popular girl.

This is going to make you freak...

I think Thirteen explains well the drug issue.
Though, what I find most unreal is the fact that the two families of Tracy and Evie are poor and she can buy  marijuana, pot and cocaine! (I consider that's one of the more expensive drug ever!)
But apart from that, everything else is acceptable on the movie, I think...

PD:

I don't think that in the movie is well explained the concept of eating disorders.
Tracy says she's on a diet, that doesn't mean she has an eating disorders.

I know many people who are on a diet, and they don't have a problem with food.
In our times, people think that boys or girls who say "I do not want to eat more" and make a low calorie diet have got eating disorders ... and that's not true at all. (They are the same people who say that people with eating disorders must to be very skinny or must to be a teenager girl. That's not true at all.)

Eating disorders is more than this. Eating disorders seems to be very popular in our society, and they don't know that they have an incorrect concept of this topic....

so ridiculous, I think.
