Does love change us?

Love… nobody can perfectly describe it. In fact, love is not something scientific and you cannot control it. But the question is: Does love can transform a person? The movie Phenomenon staring John Travolta answers this question perfectly. I’m going to show you guys what’s the basic plot of the story and how is major theme, which is love, succeed in reaching it’s purpose.

First, the movie tells the love story between a mechanical guy called George Malley and a single-mother called Lace who as two kids. Lace has been left by her husband years ago, so she has raised her childrens alone. For this, at the beginning, Lace is not interested in going further than a friendship with George. She thinks that all men are the same and she thinks that if she begins dating George, he would finish by getting away and so she will be abandoned again. But as the movie progress, she finds out that George is not like the other men, she begins to look at him in a different way. To make her life easier with her childrens, George decided to buy all the branches chairs that Lace sells next to his garage. The result is that she will need to bring more chairs and so he can get more opportunities to see her. This expensive action really shows what a man can do just to maybe exchange some words or a look with the woman he loves. It is also an excellent example to show the power of love.

Finally, I think that love can really change a person and do things that you don’t normally do. Love simply bears all things; believes all things; hopes all things; endures all things. The relation between George and Lace is a good example of how love can transform some persons.

A dream...

If you would like to do anything you ever wanted to do and money is no object. If you knew that you won't failed. What would you do?

Me, I would be a professional snowboarder in snowboard cross. And maybe, I would go to the olympics and represent my country. Snowboarding is my favorite sport and will always be. Snowboarding is a true passion for me and I will pratice it all my life. For me, there's nothing so fun than riding my board through some big snow and go as fast as the wind.

Snowboarding is so fun!

The handsomest drowned man in the world

Myths help people thinking bigger and create in them a sentiment that everyone can do something when you really trust in it. Myths inspire people to make a change in the world. The handsomest drowned man in the world is a short story written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. There is the plot of the story: a corpse emerges from the sea on a beach of a small village. Children have found it and play with it until adults discover the corpse and decided that a funeral should be given to this dead man. While cleaning his face, the women of the village discover how beautiful he is. They suddenly fell in love and admiration for this strong, tall and virile man that they decided to called Esteban. Soon, the entire entire town begins making a gigantic funeral and painting all the houses in bright colors to identify Esteban's village. Also, they give him a home to which he could go if he ever one day come back from the depths of the sea. The drowned man symbolizes all the beauty of life that the village has always dreamed of. In other worlds, the myth of the handsomest drowned man in the world helped the village to build his nation.


In this text, there are a lot of literary devices and they help a lot the reader to understand more the purpose of the story. There is climax in the story such as: ¨Not only was he the tallest, strongest, most virile, and best built man they had ever seen...¨. Climaxes are good literary devices because they helped the reader to understand more the importance and the attention that the author put to an idea. Also, there is hyperbole in the text, which is a good literary to use when you want to exaggerate something. Also, there is simile such as: ¨as if he had sailed through labyrinths of coral¨and there is personification: ¨it seemed to them that the wind had never been so steady nor the sea so restless as on that night. ¨


¨He has the face of someone called Esteban.¨ This quote is an allusion to the Bible which there is also an Esteban. The Esteban of the Bible had seen God. This allusion proves that the drowned man is so beautiful that it's like he had seen the face of God.


To conclude, I think that Gabriel Garcia Marquez succeeded in proving that a myth can help building a nation. The myth of this man inspired an entire village, it change the way they thought.

The myth of Félix Leclerc

Félix Leclerc is the sixth of a family of eleven kids. He grows in a perfect harmony ; he has a great childhood. With his mother, he learned the art of life and the taste of the music and, with his father, he discovers the world of lumberjacks and ''draveurs''. At 13 years old, Félix is sent to study at the ''juniorat Sacré-Coeur'' in Ottawa. After five years of studies, he is not able to get his diploma, so he decides to go back at the farm of his family. He needs to find a job : the city does not attract him, but he is not a farmer, in spite of his profound attachment in the campaign. As he performs the job of announcer at the radio, on the station CHRC, in Quebec city, it's during that period that he bought his first guitar and started writing some songs, just for fun.

During is fantastic life, Félix Leclerc became a folk singer, a poet, an actor and was also a strong voice for Quebec nationalism.When he disappears in 1988, it was a true superstar that had just passed away , the first ''chansonnier of Quebec'', the first ambassador and a charismatic poet. Félix Lelerc was for the culture of Quebec what was Rene Levesque for the politics. With his original thought, he became a living legend. He gave to Quebec an identity, an international presence, which nobody, still, has ever equalling in a so sensational and subtile way at the same time.

Interesting fact : Félix Leclerc died during his sleep on August 8th of 1988 at 8 o'clock in Saint-Pierre-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, Quebec. That make a lot of eights!

Here is a video that shows the legend that is Manny Pacquiao

Manny Pacquiao's real home

Even if Manny Pacquiao, considered the best pound for pound boxer on Earth, is now established in his new house in Los Angeles, he knows that his true home is in his native country the Philippines. In fact, he has planned to enter in politics in the Philippine general election, in 2010, to become the first president of this country, after he ends his boxing career.

Manny's success as a boxer doesn't affect the fact that he is a great person as well. Outside the ring, Manny has always represented Filipinos with an admirable type of class. In the Philippines, Pacquiao is not just a boxer, he is the pride of an entire nation.

Pacman has not forgotten his roots and has always been kind to the fans who follow him worldwide. With the weight of millions of his countrymen and women on his back, Manny has continued to be the type of athlete many Filipinos try to look like. It is a real idol for all of them.

Manny Pacquiao became the first Filipino athlete to appear on a postage stamp. For his influence among the Filipino people, Pacquiao has been included by Time Magazine as one of the world’s most influential people for the year 2009.

This is the modern national hero of the Philippines. Manny Pacquiao is the heart and soul of the Philippines. With each fight, as punches are exchanged, all the nation is at the end of their chairs. and lives an incredible mountain of feelings. The nation unites for a few hours as streets empty for the fight. Criminals would probably break into prison to get a good view of the fight.

Also, as Danny Sarassin , a second-hand book seller from Manila, the city where Manny was born, said after his last fight with tears welling up in his eyes (where he rewritten the history books to become the only fighter in history to claim world titles in seven weight divisions with a TKO over Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto in the 12th round of their WBO welterweight title fight in Las Vegas): “Manny carries the pride of the entire Filipino nation. He is our hero, the only one we have, and are we desperate for heroes right now.”

After his last fight, the army also congratulated Pacquiao who is a Master Sergeant in the Philippine Reserves. In a statement the army said: “He has displayed the courage and determination of a true Filipino warrior.”
