THE WONDER YEARS



THE WONDER YEARS

I want to say the wonderful year is a good program, and when I was a little boy I used to watch. My brothers really liked it and they with their friends used to watch it.
The wonderful year is a story about a boy called Kevin Arnold who has to face the life through different steps and ways of the life.
This program started on air in 1988 and finished in 1993. the main character of The Wonder Years are Fred Savage as Kevin, Dan Lauria as Jack Arnold, Alley Mills as Norma Arnold, Olivia d Abo as Karen, Jason Harvey as Wayne Arnold, Dannica Mackellar as Winnie, Josh Saviano as Paul.
I really like to watch after many time this program because it reminds something about my childhood.
In this chapter Kevin Arnold is in the class, the teacher want to call Kevin to response something about specific questions. The time is very long and it is running slow on the clock and Kevin can not believe it, suddenly something happens, the Parent’s Kevin arrived to the school in order to visit him. The Kevin parents asked him how it was, but Kevin say that It was very good. For a good cake was Kevin invited by his Parents, they said the congratulations to Kevin but he know that he didn’t t do anything to response in the class about the driving license.
After all good time, Kevin in his bed couldn’t sleep and dream so he decided to catch the car without permission. He woke up and stood up in order to get in the car and to drive it. But something was wrong; he didn’t know how to drive.
This chapter is really good because it can teach us about something that happen in our life for example when we are child and we can not do something about our learning in any subject and our Parents or friends are expect to watch us in order to say us ¡congratulations¡ you did it¡
I hope you watch this chapter on You Tube

THE VALLEY OF THE SPIDERS

This story was really interesting because when I read the title I couldn’t imagine how the story was going to be.
First of all the title of the text is very attractive for young readers and dreamer readers, like me, I think the Valley of Spiders is like El Quixote adapted in a different context with different characters but the adventures that have to live The Master, the little white man and the captain that they were the main characters in this text.
The story starts with three people rounding a valley looking for some people who they want to find. They were very enthusiastic to get the place where they possibly could find the known people.
They were looking for the missing people but they weren’t secured that they were doing the well, because in the field there were many hills and the rocky mountains made it difficult to move very quickly.
The three people were riding in some white horses. They weren’t walking and riding four days without any food to eat just only a piece of meat.
Suddenly a weirdo animal was appearing in the sky, it was a big wild dog. This animal was in disposition to attack but fortunately disappear in the field. Later the three people continued the trip looking for their staffs and a big mass of spike were approaching to involve them. After that they could hear a jewelling from a wild pig.
And a group deer appeared too behind of them but they were lucky because many things that were appearearing couldn’t attack them in their traveling to look for the people.
Finally a web of spider was in the middle of the fild and made many troubles to them.
They couldn’t see perfectly the valley and the spider were in the direction of them.
The little man can escape from the spider s webs and he can to rest in a hidden rocky place.
The story mix many adventures and dangerous situation that the three people could to face, but they were not happy that these troubles were appearing in his challenge.
I like this story and I hope you can read with a good cup of coffee in beautiful night

THE OVERWEIGHT MAKES A BIG DEBATE IN US



In US many people are overweight but they don’t do anything to recover their healthy life. This factor has increased the last decade.
Heavier Americans are pushing back now with newfound vigor in the policy debate, lobbying legislators and trying to move public opinion to recognize their point of view: that thin does not necessarily equal fit, and that people can be healthy at any size.
Extra weight brings with it an increased risk of chronic disease, medical experts say, and heavier people tend to have medical costs that are substantially higher than their leaner counterparts. As a result, Congress of United States is considering proposals in the effort to overhaul health care that would make it easier for employers to use financial rewards or penalties to promote healthy behavior by employees, like weight loss.
If it results it will be a low to do something to protect the health of the American people but there are a lot of groups that are defending the fat people in many debates in the congress.
It is difficult to put this king of regulation but is necessary to do some agreement in order to be conscientious of loss weight.
Any way the health is a topic which matters own people but everybody has to do the effort to make the life healthy.
You can find the debate in
