El Grito de Edvard Munch

The Scream is a work of art of Norwegian Edvard Munch
It was painted in 1893
This painting is an expression of own fear. The influence of Munch's life in his work was crucial. This Norwegian artist, from humble family, lived a difficult time in her infancy: 
Her mother died when he was five years old and her sister died when he was fourteen years old. These were the reasons for a life of dissatisfaction: The failure with women, the displeasure of bourgeois society in Paris and his problems with alcohol. All this, apart from of his depressed an introverted character, it did to take refuge in his paintings, which reflect their traumas.
The Scream would be tragic culmination of this feeling that he felt about life.
The moment that gave birth to "The Scream" was this: "I was walking with two friends on the road, and then the sun went down, suddenly, the sky turned red as blood. I stopped, leaned against the fence, inexplicably tired. Tongues of fire and blood to extend on the blue-black fjord. My friends continue to walk, while I stayed back, trembling with fear, and felt the huge scream, infinite, by nature”
With this famous work of art he was trying to express, with a new language, their experiences on love, illness, death and nature.
The gesture of "The Scream", considered the most expressive of contemporary art, to represent the discouraged and fear of modern man faced to an inevitably changing world.

This work influenced the Expressionist movement that emerged in alemania in 1905. The expressionist artist saw the painting as a means of relief, expression of human suffering and social injustice. These topics should be treated from aggressive compositions , strong colors, and so draw the viewer's attention.

My favourite piece of technology

My favourite piece of technology is the mobile phone
My first mobile phone I had at age 16. My mom gave it to me to be in contact with me, it was very comfortable, I loved it.
I am very messy for this reason I lost a lot. Since then I had many, in various colors and models.
The phone I use every day.
I can call, to send messages, to play music, to take pictures, to record videos, to sail the web. It also has many applications, for example: calculator, stopwatch, calendar, flashlight, etc..

At the present I have a cell phone that I love because I can watch TV when I'm bored and I'm not at my house.
definitely I love have cell, although at first I did not like the idea of having cell because he thought it was just a fashion, but then discovered its advantages, and became an important element in my life, even now I can not leave my house without a phone.
The cell phone is a tool that helps us stay in touch with family and friends, although they are far away. Also allows us to be entertained and informed about what is happening in the world when they are interner.
It is important to cell, but we must make use becomes an addiction.

Nelson Mandela

He was born in South Africa on July 18th, 1918. 
He is a lawyer and politician. He was the first democratical elected president of South Africa. In 1962 he was arrested and sentenced life prision because he was an impotant activist  against apartheid.
Finally, Mandela spent 27 years in prison, in the famous jail named Robben Island.
Nelson was liberated on 11th February 1990. And since that moment he has led his political party in the negotiatons to get a multiracial democracy in South Africa. And he managed  a multiracial democracy with the the first democratic election in 1994. Mandela won the election and he became new president, since 1994 to 1999.

Also, Mandela turned himself in the symbol to fight for peace.
He is a legendary figure that represents  the repression of all black people
Nelson Mandela received the Peace Nobel prize in 1993
 

I admire Nelson Mandela because he is a tolerant man and he is against violence
I love this important figure because he defended his ideals in the most difficult moments of his life.
