My Favorite Photograph

This image is a creation of the street artist Banksy. He is a graffiter from Bristol, England, and I really like his work.

In this picture we see a stencil where a vietnamin girl run for safe her life, her name is Phan Thị Kim Phúc, and is the protagonist of a popular photo that win the Pulitzer prize in the 70’.

 

In the stencil, Bansky mix this image with two occidental symbols, in one side is the famous character from Disney Mickey mouse, and in the other side is the clown of the world’s largest fast food restaurant, both represent of capitalism. 



What I like about this picture is the critic spirit of the author. He think about the modern world and transmit a very clear message, that the suffering of the people in a lot of countrys is due to the greed of USA and capitalism in general.

My Favorite Festivity

My favorite festivity is the new year. This festivity is celebrated at 00.00hrs between 31 of December and 1° of january. I like it because is that moment of the year when all family is together to celebrate  and to wait the new good energy from the new year that is arriving. Everybody cooperate to make the dinner and have some drinks. When clock says that are 00.00hrs everybody get a huge hug from rest of family and then we go out out to see fireworks in the sky.
A couple of times I went to Valparaiso to see its fireworks.


In this moment of year, I think people is more happy than other moments. When new year comes, the party is just beginning and it takes a long time of celebration. Is very common that party continue at sunrise. Other reason because I like this festivity is because there are various rituals where you can left the bad things and open your arms to receive all better energy from universe.
