THE LADY OF SHALOTT.

The meanings of the terms patient and caring are need to understand the relationship of these with the story.
Patient is do not get frustrated or annoyed when you have to wait or deal with difficulties and caring is the feeling or showing concern for or kindness to others.
The poem opens with a description of a field by a river. There's a road running through the field that apparently leads to Camelot, the legendary castle of King Arthur. From the road you can see an island in the middle of the river called the Island of Shalott. On that island there is a little castle, which is the home of the mysterious Lady of Shalott. People pass by the island all the time, on boats and barges and on foot, but they never see the Lady. Occasionally, people working in the fields around the island will hear her singing an eerie song.
Now we actually move inside the castle on the island, and Tennyson describes the Lady herself. First we learn that she spends her days weaving a magic web, and that she has been cursed, forbidden to look outside. So instead she watches the world go by in a magic mirror. She sees shadows of the men and women who pass on the road, and she weaves the things she sees into her web. We also learn that she is "half sick" of this life of watching and weaving.
Now the big event: One day the studly Sir Lancelot rides by the island, covered in jewels and shining armor. Most of this chunk of the poem is spent describing Lancelot. When his image appears in the mirror, the Lady is so completely captivated that she breaks the rule and looks out her window on the real world. When she does this and catches a glimpse of Lancelot and Camelot, the magic mirror cracks, and she knows she's in trouble.
Knowing that it's game over, the Lady finds a boat by the side of the river and writes her name on it. After looking at Camelot for a while she lies down in the boat and lets it slip downstream. She drifts down the river, singing her final song, and dies before she gets to Camelot. The people of Camelot come out to see the body of the Lady and her boat, and are afraid. Lancelot also trots out, decides that she's pretty, and says a little prayer for her.
These two values are so important in real life but first in this story there is not a lot of these values we could see them when the lady of shalott was patient all her life there in that tower living withouth seeing Camelot and living with that curse but the patient end when she decide to see back because of that knight and then the curse was with her, and caring I think that she was always caring with herself because of that curse but the loose the care when she see back and when the people found her dead body and the knight they care too.

A MODEST PROPOSAL

I am going to make the relationship between the values fairness and Justice with the story a modest proposal first of all the meanings quality of this two words, fairness is the  of treating people equally or in a way that is right or reasonable, and justice is is the quality of being just or fair. 

In the story I can tell that none of this two values are practiced, first of all everything is based that in that time in ireland there was a problem of overpopulation and hunger because of the great amount of people, so they do not know what to do with that problem, so the author came with a modest proposal in which he tell that for benefit of the rich and the poors the rich people could buy the poor people’s children for them to eat them and with that they could end both problems, the overpopulation and hunger and the rich could have to eat and poor would have money to buy what they need, seeing this for the country it would be something perfect because it would solve all their problems but if you analize the things with justice and fairness there is lack of this two values because that is not fair that poor have to give their children the ones they love to the rich because they are less and is not just that the poors can not said a word to this because their words does not have value. 250 I think that they could think a better form to solve this because is not just to take a life to save another, this kids can have a better future and they could be someone but they are taking their life without mattering their lives and only thinking in them.

The diary of samuel pepys.
I am going to do the relationship of the values truthworthness and thankful with this story. First of all the meaning of this two words. What is truthworthness? Truthworthness is the deserving of trust and confidence, being dependable or reliable.
Now, what is being thankful? Thankful is feeling gratitude for something or someone, is having or being apreciated.
Now that we know the definition I can begin, in this story you could notice that this values are in little parts of it beggining with the coronation of the king Charles I, pepys trust in the king because he know him and know he would manage well everything, the people was thankful and they were so happy for having the king. Then it cames a fire that destroys almost everything and first of all there was pepys seeing all this happening and he does not do anything to help them, he was with lack of trust and thankfulness, but then the people of the town see this situation and they decide to go to help them because they were in a terrible situation, and the people were very thankful and they give all their trust in them that they were going to help them with the disaster that the fire cause.
Talking about Samuel pepys we could se he was a man that no one can trust because he was a man that was cheating on his wife, I think there was a big irony with this situation because he tell that he love his wife but at the same time he cheat on her so he has lack of trust and lack of thankfulness with her because if he really love her he would never cheat on her, I think that he was thankful with her but with the things she did not with her completely, because she cook for him and she was always there for him but for nothing more.

WHAT VIRTUES MUST PEOPLE HAVE TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD.

Virtues are habits of mind, heart, and behavior. They develop through deliberate practice.
The ancient Greeks considered wisdom to be the master virtue, the one that directs all the others. Wisdom is good judgment. It enables us to make reasoned decisions that are both good for us and good for others. Wisdom tells us how to put the other virtues into practice—when to act, how to act, and how to balance different virtues when they conflict (as they do, for example, when telling the honest truth might hurt someone’s feelings).
The second virtue named is justice. Justice means respecting the rights of all persons. Since we are persons ourselves, justice also includes self-respect, a proper regard for our own rights and dignity. Schools, in their character education efforts, often center on justice because it includes so many of the interpersonal virtues. A concern for justice and the capacity for moral indignation in the face of injustice inspires us to work as citizens to build a more just society and world.
A third, much-neglected virtue is fortitude. Fortitude enables us to do what is right in the face of difficulty. The right decision in life is often the hard one. One high school captures that truth in its motto: “Do the hard right instead of the easy wrong.” A familiar maxim says, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Teen suicide has risen sharply in the past three decades; one reason may be that many young people are unprepared to deal with life’s inevitable disappointments. We need to teach our children that we develop our character more through our sufferings than our successes, that setbacks can make us stronger if we don’t give in to feeling sorry for ourselves.
The fourth virtue named is self-control (temperance). Self- control is the ability to govern ourselves. It enables us to control our temper, regulate our sensual appetites and passions, and pursue even legitimate pleasures in moderation. It’s the power to resist temptation. It enables us to wait and to delay gratification in the service of higher and distant goals. Love is the willingness to sacrifice for the sake of another. A whole cluster of important human virtues—empathy, compassion, kindness, generosity, service, loyalty, patriotism (love of what is noble in one’s country), and forgiveness make up the virtue of love. Love is a demanding virtue. If we really took seriously the familiar injunction to “love your neighbor as yourself,” would we not make every effort to avoid gossiping about others and calling attention to their faults, given how sensitive we are to such things said about us?
A positive attitude is a sixth essential virtue. If you have a negative attitude in life, you’re a burden to yourself and others. If you have a positive attitude, you’re an asset to yourself and others. The character strengths of hope, enthusiasm, flexibility, and a sense of humor are all part of a positive attitude.
Old-fashioned hard work is a seventh indispensable virtue. There is no substitute in life for work. “I challenge you,” says the great basketball coach John Wooden, “to show me one single solitary individual who achieved his or her own personal greatness without lots of hard work.” Hard work includes initiative, diligence, goal-setting, and resourcefulness.
An eighth essential virtue is integrity. Integrity is adhering to moral principle, being faithful to moral conscience, keeping our word, and standing up for what we believe. To have integrity is to be “whole,” so that what we say and do in different situations is consistent rather than contradictory. Integrity is different from honesty, which tells the truth to others. Integrity is telling the truth to oneself.
Gratitude is a ninth essential virtue. “Gratitude, like love, is not a feeling but an act of the will,” observes writer Anne Husted Burleigh. “We choose to be thankful, just as we choose to love.” Gratitude has been described as the secret of a happy life. It reminds us that we all drink from wells we did not dig. It moves us to count our everyday blessings.
Humility, the final essential virtue, can be considered the foundation of the whole moral life. Humility is necessary for the acquisition of the other virtues because it makes us aware of our imperfections and leads us to try to become a better person.

The girl of the shadows.

The leyend tells that once upon a time there was a Little girl that was bullyied by al her classmates because she was Little and use glasses , she was so shy that she do not have the courage to tell something back. So the years pass and now she was adolescent and the situation was still the same, and because all this years she learn that if she hide in the shadows where any of her classmates could see her, they would not bother her and she would get peace, so that was great for a time but then in the school she studied, they put a chips machine in the place she always hide and now people were going there all the time to buy chips, so she get scared and one day she run before someone attack her and she fell because she stumbled with someone or something and when she pick up her glasses she notice it was a hot guy the one that she stumbled so she timidly and fast wake up from the floor and the guy try to help her but she was so sorry with him that she try to run but he stop her and present himself and she did the same but then she left.

The days passes and he always look for her and ask her how she was but she always was shy and timid until one day this guy invited her to a date and she after a long time thinking she decide that she deserve the opportunity to be happy so she accepted but at the time she was so scared.

The day of the date came and he look for her and she make her best for looking good and he tell her she was beautiful what makes her be very happy because never anyone had tell that to her, so they went to a restaurant and she sees that there were some of her classmates and get nervous and she tell him if they could go to another place but he insist her to stay so she accept but she was insecure, so he tell her to see the menu and ask for what she wants and meanwhile he stand up and like if it was an accident he throws her a glass of water oh her head and he began to apologize and all her classmates there began to laught and she was feeling terrible about that she tried to stand up but the guy tell her to stay that he was going to help her and went to the bathroom and came back and with a towel he makes like he was going to clean her up but instead the towel have white paint and she get worse and in that momento he began to laught with the rest of the classmates and she notice that everything was planned and she stand up and began to runo ut of that place and without looking anywhere she stand in a dark place those that she used to hide but this time was like a tunnel and she fell on the floor to cry and then she hear a sound and when she look up it was a train coming just where she was thrown and when she realized it was late and the train kill her.

Now a days people on that town said that in that place where she died they hear a lady crying and shouting that it was not fair and if someone walk there alone they dissapear.

COLOMBIA.

Its official name is: Republic of Colombia; its form of government is: Republic; its capital is: Bogotá; its population is: 46,245,297; the official language is: Spanish; the money is by: Peso; its area is of: 439,619 square miles (1,138,910 square kilometers); the mayor mountain ranges are: Andes, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta; the mayor rivers are: Magdalena, Cauca, Atrato, Sinú.
Colombia is nicknamed the "gateway to South America" because it sits in the northwestern part of the continent where South America connects with Central and North America. It is the fifth largest country in Latin America and home to the world's second largest population of Spanish-speaking people.
Colombia is a land of extremes. Through its center run the towering, snow-covered volcanoes and mountains of the Andes. Tropical beaches line the north and west. And there are deserts in the north and vast grasslands, called Los Llanos, in the east.
Dense forests fill Colombia's Amazon Basin, which takes up nearly the country's entire southern half. In northwest Colombia, a warm, wet, jungle-filled area called the Chocó reaches across the Panama border.
Colombia's people are as varied as its landscape. Most citizens are descended from three ethnic groups: Indians, African people brought to Colombia to work as slaves, and European settlers. This rich cultural mix makes the country's foods, music, dance, and art diverse and unique.

BARRANQUILLA.

Barranquilla is located in the Atlántico Department in northern Colombia and lies on the delta of the Magdalena River, 7.5 km from the mouth of the Caribbean Sea. This city is the cradle of important Colombian culture and folk tradition.
