Winter 1975
Diary:

Well, tomorrow is the day, the kite running competition, it is the day when Baba will finally put his eyes on me and I need to do it well. In the last 3 years all the attention went to Hassan. A few weeks later I've heard Baba with Rahim Khan when they were having a conversation, my own father thinks I am a coward, he thinks I can´t do anything by myself, but tomorrow everything will be different.


Days ago, it was Hassan birthday, he was very happy all day, in the morning I gave him a new slingshot and he was very grateful with me, I decided to give him this present because one day, after watching a movie of John Wayne, we were walking and the stupid of Aseef with his friends, went to bother us, I was really nervous in that moment, he started to say that me and Hassan were not friends because he is a hazara and I am a pashtung, and quickly Hassan took his old slingshot trying to protect me, and that resulted because Aseef and his friends, left the place. Well, to continue, on Hassan's birthday, I was reading to him a story in the pomegranate tree and Baba came in his car to take us to find a present for Hassan. I wanted to sit in front on the car, but, Baba preferred Hassan to sit on front because it was his birthday. On the way to the store Hassan was very happy, he took out his face through the window and the wind hit his face. In the store Hassan had the opportunity to choose any kite. In that moment I started to feel jealous of Hassan, also because in another birthday Baba gave him an operation of his lips, Baba always is better with him, he always is happy with him, so what kind of friend wants to take my father off me?

The words of Aseef probably are true, Hassan is only a hazara that is good with me, only to have good things. Probably he wants to destroy my life, and he covered trying to help and protect me, he is only playing with me. A demonstration of this could be that day when I received Rahim Khan´s letter with his opinion of my little story, Rahim says it was a good story and I told Hassan, Rahim Khan´s opinion. After this, Hassan wanted to hear my story, after telling him, he searched for something bad to criticize my job. Hassan did very well, he destroyed my job, he always wants to make my life worse. I think Hassan wants to steal my Baba.

But he is the only boy  who I play with, because I grew with him, I have lived with Hassan all my life, more than 10 years, we had a lot of good moments together, we are like brothers. So, how can I know if he really is a true friend or not? A true friend always wants to make you happy, a true friend is always loyal, he protected me of Aseef, but a friend doesn't try to steal your father.

I'm really confused right now, I hope tomorrow, I will know the answer.

Diary:

If I want to be a novelist, first I have to write about myself, Well, tomorrow is the day, the kite running competition, it is the day when Baba will finally put his eyes on me and I need to do it well. In the last 3 years all the attention went to Hassan. A few weeks later I've heard Baba with Rahim Khan when they were having a conversation, my own father thinks I am a coward, he thinks I can not do anything by myself, but tomorrow everything will be different.

Dialogue
Eager: It is fare and appropriate for parents to select the gender of their child, especially in cases when family balanced has an important role, for example families with lot children the same gender, which is not only unhealthy for the parents, but a poor example for the children about what the world is actually about.  
Reluctant: it is inappropriate to have in vitro fertilization for sex selection, because it is unnatural process to make a child, it is like to buy something, when it’s more important. It feels wrong if somebody wants to have a child and know the sex, perfectly you can go to an orphanage where abandonate kids don’t have parents.   
Eager: And why is it unnatural when I decided the gender of my child? When me, you and everybody else eats and drinks genet: call modified food?  Why is it inappropriate when even you also do it? What if I want a child with my own blood?
Reluctant: Is unnatural because you build a life, in the ethics way is not correct to manipulate a life, it´s true most of the food we eat is modified, but this food, it is good for our healthy? Some of this kind of food it is very dangerous for our body, produce cancer and other kinds of illness. If you want a child of your own blood; you can have sex-relation with your partner and have one child.  
Eager: Well if you see it like this you have the reason
Reluctant: It was a very good debate, goodbye.

Eager: Goodbye

PPT MAORI

Differences between

Its true, between this countries there are a lot of differences first of all, my country Chile was part of the Spainish imperium, so I speak Spanish and  New Zealand was part of the British imperium so they speak english. It Also means that we have different religion in my country most of the people who live there are catholic, meanwhile in New Zealand there are more Anglicans. 

In Chile we drive in the right part of the street so the drivers are in the left side in the car, meanwhile in New Zealand they  drive in the left side of the street so they sit in the opposite side of the car.

In Chile the popular sport is football, but in the New Zealand islands the rugby and cricket are  the most common sports in the country.

Also we have a little of similitude's with this country, in the islands are Indians called Maori, this culture still exist in the society and some people came from this culture, they are highly respected by this reason. In the other side, Chile are the mapuches also indians they fought agains the Spain army, this culture still exist in the country but they dont have the respect they deserve. So, the two countries thay have indigenous heritage.

To be a NewZealander means a lot of things and responsibilities:
It Means that you always are a sacrificed person  you need to beat all the things that are against you, for example if you need to wake up at five o'clock, and beat the cold morning that waits for you, all the days of the week to maintain your family, you must do it including the weekends.
If you are a new zealander you always need to be punctual in all moments because all the public services like the bus or the subway have different hours to leave the station, and it is your responsibility to be there on time, because if you are 1 minute late, the train or the bus will not be there, and you need to wait  a long time for the next one to come.
You need to be clever with all the people, including people you know.
You must take care of your city, no illegal graffiti, no throwing the trash on the floor, you never steal in any opportunity.
To be solidary, if you see a old men or women in the train, you must give your sit to the older person.
Also to be happy and enjoy all the things this country gives to you: museums, parks, sports events, games, etc.

Fair Trade

Fake street 123

18th of March, 2015

Hi Felix, how are you?

Well, the last day I was walking home after school, It was six o´clock, so I was hungry because I did not eat breakfast that day.

Walking in the street I entered into a store to buy a chocolate, but it was a little more expensive than usual and had a logo of "Fair Trade". So I bought the chocolate and it was delicious, one of the best chocolates I have ever tasted in my life. I became curious, so I asked to the seller from where that chocolates bar came and what meant "Fair trade". He taught me that the chocolate came from Africa and "Fairtrade" is an organization. He told me, that I have to search in the internet for more Information because he did not know more.

So when I entered to my home, I picked up my notebook and started to search in google for some information. Well, "Fair Trade" is an organization to help people, but what kind of people? This organization wants to help the farmers, how? It is very simple really all you need to is go to any supermarket of your city and search for any product with the Fair-trade logo, it is very easy to find one, the logo is a stick man holding his hand up in signal of victory, and in the left is like a green leaf that represents the nature and on the other side it is a blue "sky". Well, one time you have got the product that you want to buy, you could see that it is ten percent more money than usual, but that percentage goes directly to the workers who make your product possible and it is high quality.

Well, I hope my information helps you to improve the organization. See you later!

Your Friend, Sebastián Covarrubias
