Point by point method. Adventure Time versus Regular Show

Adventure Time versus Regular Show

(SPOILERS...maybe)

     It is curious that as I get older and the time passes, I watch more cartoons. Adventure Time and Regular Show are a great example of this. The first one was created by Pendleton Ward while, the second one, by J. G. Quintel.

    The first similarity could be that both are cartoons from the USA and Cartoon Network which, despite its main public was thought to be the children, is followed and seen by lots of teenagers and even adults. About the characters, both main characters are boys who live incredible adventures. 

    On the other hand, the animal kingdom is very present. There are anthropomorphic animals which act, live and think like as a person would do. A few differences are that in Adventure Time, Finn the human and Jake the dog are the Candy Kingdom's heroes while Mordecai and Rigby, from Regular Show, are two poor blokes who hardly are get paid peanuts working in a park and in general are not respected.

     Next, the context is very different. The world of Adventure Time is the result of a nuclear bomb form the Mushroom War, which took place in the actual civilization from the Earth. Thus, the Earth is not complete and all its elements became nuclear mutations. Humans are extints, with the only exception of Finn...or not? (evil laugh). Meanwhile, the world of Regular Show is the actual one whith some differences such as the anthropomorfic animals and supernatural events (Adventure Time is also full of this kind of events, of course).

 Regular Show

    Another important element in both cartoons is the love. In Adventure Time, some examples of love are the love among brothers (Finn and Jake), the love to the job and the kingdom (Princess Bubblegum)  and romantic love, which is present in many examples. For instance, we can find Jake and Lady Rainicorn. They have children and grandchildren. We can find platonic love from the Ice King and the princesses (specially with Princess Bubblegum) and from Finn to the Princess Bubblegum. Finn has gone out with enough princesses after superate that he can not be with princess Bubblegum and after his separation with Flame princess. In and alternative (or not) story/dream/strange episode, Finn goes to another dimension and creates a family. Mordecai's romantic life is also complicated because he likes a girl (Margaret) but he can not go out with her (yet). On the contrary, Rigby is not interested in love, but there is a girl (Eileen) who likes him. It is more or less the same problem than with Mordecai (there are much more examples in both cartoons).

    The main element of this two remarkable cartoons is the humour; in particular, the absurd one. We can see it in incredible adventures and dialogues with no sense. Nevertheless, the context and the inside of the world and the characters make a masterpiece which combines fun and sadness, silliness and the intelligence, fight and love.

    As a conclusion (I could be hours talking about curiosities and interesting information about this two awesome cartoons), I have to emphasize the union of "the adult's world", full of problems, mistery, Psychology and Philosophy, and "the children's one", crammed with humour, nonsenses and animation. 

    >>I hope you have enjoyed this and, por the people who see this cartoons, I promise I will talk about the much important things and characters of which I could not talk this time. Good night!

Block method. The advantages and disadvantages of celefrating a Halloween's party in your house.

 Block method.
The advantages and disadvantages of celebrating a Halloween's party in your house.

I have always loved Halloween. Maybe a reason of this could be that, when I was a little girl, I used to be a friend of an Irish boy who every year celebrated it. Accompanied by the rest of the children of the neighbourhood, we used to go out dressed like monsters, vampires or ghosts (and some Spidermans and Hulks) to play games and do the typical "trick or treat". But finally, that child moved away and, with him, Halloween. Nevertheless, despite were not such those parties outside, I learned to love this foreing celebration.

Years later, me and my friends celebrated it with a party every year, with no exception, in one of their houses. The last year, the party was at my home. Sincerelly, I enjoyed it. It was difficult decorating everything, thinking about what to do, what to eat, what to drink, what to see and what to hear, but I loved hang the garlands up, put fake-spider web... maybe that not as much as the other things :(.  I enjoyed buying, eating and sharing out the candies and chocolates. It was funny to see how the children (and the not as children) asked for them at my door, everyone with awesome customs (or, at least, the majority). In addition, my friens helped me to prepare all this great show in every moment.

Nevertheless, there were difficulties too. I had to decorate the house quickly, which sometimes was hard because the garlands were a little high and the adhesive tape did not want to do its job. I had constantly to go and open the door during the party because of the people asking for candy. There were unexpected events: my brother invited his friends and he did not tell me, so sometimes we did not have enough space it the kitchen and in the living room. Finally, I had to clean and organize the house before I went to bed, which was...irritating and tiring.

However, if somebody asked me if I would do another party this year, I would not have any doubt to say "yes, of course". In fact, I am going to do another party in my house. I will organize better everything this time because the difficulties are very little in comparison with the fun.

Happy Halloween!

3rd part of my un

Braveness. 
                 Self-confidence.
                                           Pain.
                                                   Desesperation...

-Darling, are you OK?

It was Muriel. Adam woke up feeling strange. Desolated but still proud of himself. He had not realized that he was gasping and sweating, and the tears were fighting for going out and start its dancing. 

-Yes, don't worry, honey.

-Again? - she had that face one more time. 

-Maybe...

He hated worrying her. Their relationship was the most beautiful of his life, and he did not want to make her get sad because he knew her as nobody: pure heart, pure soul, pure whole her. She loved him and she really cared about everything that happened to him: from the littlest headache to the worsts moments. She was kind to him even when she was angry -and/or hungry.

-Really, don't worry. Go to sleep again. You're so beauty when you sleep...-"maybe a few nice words will calm her" he thought-. I'll take a glass of milk.

-Ok, but come back soon.

The same routine of the last night started: glass of milk/chocolate, his laptop and his nightmares. 

"-Joe? Joe! You're late! As usual...

-Shut up! I'm going!

In my dream, I was a young boy quite normal, but with a storm of feelings inside. I coulf feel the anger and the rancour inside him, despite he looked fragile and kind. At the same time, he didn't feel self-confident nor handsome. He went to the high school, "the jungle" as she was used to name it, by bus: "a cell with heels". Luckily, he had a few friends with which he felt comfortable. He liked a girl, but he had never talked to her. "A goddes as her wouldn't ever talk to a piece of mediocrity as me" he always thought. The day passed typical, without incidents. Or that he believed. An older boy suddenly attacked him. It was not the first time, and he was not able to tolerate it any more. He did not know why, but he felt brave. Powerful. Maybe a reason was that the previous mentioned girl was looking at him, with a sad expression in her face. As Adam, he did not want her loved one to suffer because of him. "Never give in. Never back down". It was the words that somebody told him in any moment of his life. He did not remember who nor why, but, for him, in that moment, were the biggest true under the Sun.Thus, he faced that hiper-musculated fool and could hit him with all his forces on his huge nose. "It loos like a great bullseye" he thought. That poor guy was bleeding on the floor, but what Joe saw and what he felt was that he had defeated his fears. He felt free. He was free. Nevertheless, the thing that he did not see was that some "friends" of his "victim" were just behind him. Then, a violent and terryfing spectacle begun. All them started hitting him without compassion. He had never felt as much pain in his whole life. It was not only phisical pain. The desesperation inside him was horrible. He would not feel free anymore...".

Opinion paragraph

Opinion paragraph

In general, the youngest you are the better you learn a language. Consequently, the parents should be more aware of their children's Education. They could show them cartoon in other languages, for instance. It would not be necessary a very strong instruction: the little details that they did would be enough for help them in the future, when the teaching is harder. It is demonstrated that it is increasingly difficult to learn a foreing language as you get older. Thus, as a conclusion, we should not lose this oportunity for try to be bilingual if it is possible.

A bit of Scottish culture

A bit of Scottish culture

Describing someone (in my case, imaginary).

That person was like the typical adventurer Scottish man. Since the moment I saw his photograph and read his story I knew that he was interesting and special. Also, as I have said, he was typically Scottish: he was wearing a kilt, he had long, ginger hair and green eyes. His face was almost full of freckles, and he was very tall. Nevertheless, the most important thing was the way that he looked everyone and everything: it transmited that he was brave and powerful. His body confirmed it because he was quite muscular. In addition of this characteristics, I had read about his legend. He left his home and his family for protect all his country. He killed a dragon and other terrifing monsters. Furthermore, he instaured the peace along other countries by violence, but started a war in which he died. For all this reasons, in my opinion, this man can be definied as one of the bravest Scottish person in all Scotland.

-The mistakes at the time of writing.
-Metaphors and other artistic elements at the time of writing.
-Happy endind, open endind, bad ending...
-Filosophy.
-How begin a story.
-The fear to the "paper in white".
-Messages inside the story or in any symbol.

4. Write some sentences and choose:
-Writing is a very compicated and interesting proces.
-At the time of writing, almost everyting in your life can be an influence.
-Getting a pen and start writing can be more dificult than you imagine. (Chosen).

5. Now write a paragraph:

 Getting a pen and start writing can be more dificult than you imagine. When you write, almost everything in your life can be an influence. Examples of this could be your own dreams or something that has happened to you recently (or in the past). Your imagination play an essential role in this proces, but all this elements must have concordance and follow determined rules. This is the most dificult thing (in my opinion). On the other hand, Psychology and Filosophy are very important when you "design" a character. In conclusion, we must defeat the fear of the "paper in white" and be artistic and free in this kind of situations.

My favourite place

My favourite place

I am a very calm person. Maybe for this reason my favourite place in the world is my bedroom. In spite of the eternal disorder that reigns there, I am very comfortable there.

There is nothing like sitting on my bed, with my boyfriend or my friends watching any film or any chapter of anime or cartoons like the ones of Pendleton Ward. Doing this is even better with a great bowl of popcorns or chips. When I am alone in my bedroom in my free time, I normally read a book or see any silly stuff on my laptop.

For all these reasons, I love staying in my bedroom and rest. I do not mind being alone or accompanied: this is the best place for me.

Absurd time

(This is a Draft for Lengua Inglesa I)

Throgout my life, I have done several travels to Cuenca, an amazing Spanish city. Since you arrive at this beautiful place you can see the union of culture and life, of History and an energetic “today”, surrounded of Art. In the town centre there are many museums, parks, cafés, the river Júcar (which is always full of ducks, fishes and crayfishes), shops, and, specially, terrific views of the mountains, old buildings and nature. The breathtaking scenery is always present, accompanied by open spaces, steep hills and cliffs.

On the other hand, it is necessary to talk about the population, who is very nice and numerous. Related with this we find the Gastronomy. A few delicious examples are “ajoarriero” and “morteruelo”. About the nightlife, Cuenca is full of bars (with smoker areas) and, frequently, there are concerts and another kind of fantastic events.

Cuenca is also full of churches and beautiful places. A great example is the Cathedral of our lady of Grace and Saint Julian. We also need to talk about the Holy Week Processions, which are very important and spectacular. Another important things of this town are the famous hanging houses or the Enchanted City and its curious rocks.

Nevertheless, what I like the most of Cuenca is that is full of green, nature and life. It is a great place for keep photographers and for people who like high altitude trekking. The sightseers will enjoy doing trips to this unspoilt parts, but they will have to remember that is not permitted dump rubbish and/or smoke. These places are full of all kind of trees and vegetation, accompanied by its wildlife. I won't forget the day when a fox stole us (to my group) a leaf of bread.

When you prepare your travel arrangements for going on holidays, I recommend you, if you feel like having adventures, going to a treeky holiday in Cuenca. If you go in Winter or Autumn, don't forget a windproof coat and a pair of boots.

Safe journey!
