Simone de Beauvoir

Today I will speak about Simone de Beauvoir, French thinker and novelist, representative of the atheistic existentialist movement and an important figure in the demand for women's rights. Simone de Beauvoir founded with some feminists the Women's Rights League, which set out to react firmly to any sexist discrimination at the time, also wrote The Second Sex (1949) which meant a theoretical starting point for different feminist groups, and became a classic work of contemporary thought. The first time I heard about Simone de Beauvoir was at the age of 15, thanks to my aunt, who read her texts from a very young age. If I had the opportunity to interview her, I would ask her how she sees the maturation of the feminist movement after the publication of her book "The Second Sex" in terms of her own trajectory, or what is her conception of love, especially because she maintained an open relationship with her 20-year-old partner: Jean-Paul Sartre. I find it very interesting because she is a key figure in feminism, she criticized the oppression to which women are subjected by the male sex and the way society is organized. My favorite phrase from Simone is: "The day a woman can love not with her weakness but with her strength, not to escape from herself but to meet, not to humiliate herself but to affirm herself, that day love will be for her, as for the man, source of life and not a mortal danger".

A Family Member

Hi! Although my family is small, it was difficult for me to choose a family member to talk about. Today I will talk about my cousin Juana Libertad Moreno, with her 8 years old she is the youngest in the family. Juanita lives in San Carlos (Ñuble) with her mother, grandmother, and my mother, and their three little dogs: Loba, Chica and Snoopy. She dedicates herself to going to school and being at home playing in the toy room, watching series on Netflix and helping our grandmother. What Juanita enjoys most is reading stories, watching movies and series, drawing and painting many colorful pictures with her hands, and what she least likes to do is go to school, although her favorite subjects are arts and physical education. I like to share with her, because her personality is too intense to be a child, she is very witty and has a great vocabulary to be as young as 8 years old. Whenever I visit her in San Carlos, we play a lot of board games, our favorite is Trivial Pursuit, and while it...

The future

Hello everyone! How difficult it is to think about the future, and the truth is that after the alarming announcements that humanity's life on earth is about to be extinguished by the extraction and misuse of its natural resources at the hand of man , Today my pronostic is alarming. However, if I had been asked this question a couple of years ago, my answer would be that I would like to live in southern Chile in a small house away from the city and on the way to the mountain range, I see myself working as a geographer and perhaps researching urbanism and den sification of the cities, I would like to be living with my boyfriend and my beautiful kitten Anika. I still don't decide if I want to have kids someday. In addition, I would like to have an art workshop in my future home, where I can paint paintings and make different crafts, I have always liked the idea of spending my free time in a space just for me and my projects. On the world, I hope that the current climate crisi...

Scar

Hello everyone! In this opportunity I will speak of the villain Scar. Scar is a character who first appeared in the movie The Lion King in 1994. He is the brother of Mufasa, who governs all animals as their king. His name comes from the English "scar", and he is considered one of the most evil and cruel villains of Disney. It is a lion of dark tones, thin and with a black mane. His eyes are yellow with a green center, he has a scar on his left eye from which comes his name and his smile is very big. I saw this film when I was little, when I was four years old. I liked it a lot because it is a story about animals that live in the African jungle, also because it has a lot of music and its characters are funny. In the film Scar weaves a sinister plan to get rid of his family and seize the throne. I chose Scar because of his cunning and intelligence that leads him to convince weaker minds, confuse his rivals or even put in his favor at any time. He thinks that any end ...
