The review’s structure consists firstly on a title and a subtitle. In the first two paragraphs the writer talks about his first impression of the film before watching it and about its role in the development of Pixar. The following four paragraphs provide a brief explanation of the main plot of the film, with the addition of a fifth paragraph comparing it a bit with other films that also approach the topic of the festivity present in the film commented. In the last paragraphs the writer compares some aspects of the film with mythology and makes a conclusion in where he mentions some thoughts about the film message. The language used is rather formal, even though he is talking about a film for kids, but there are expressions that can be considered informal such as "folks". Some opinions included are, for example "In the real world, the Day of the Dead, with its endlessly Instagrammable images, is danger of becoming the west’s condescending gap-year obsession.". The reviews also provides links with information and facts about "the Day of the Dead" in order to understand better the film and the festivity.

WEEK 3 - Paula Sánchez Morlesín


Write you opinion about a trending topic you strongly support or condemn.

ME TOO

During the last months of 2017, women from all the globe have started to speak up about their sexual harassment experiences appealing to the feminist movement 'Me too.' This movement came up from women's tiredness towards the discrimination we suffer, since we women, are discriminated by men everyday just for having been born women. And thanks to this movement, thousands of women have felt relieved, since they have finally been able to narrate their personal experiences.
I believe that movements like this one are extremely necessary for women to be united and fight together, and support each other. Support is always important, and not only from women but also from men. Because in the feminism movement there is a majority of women, but there are also men. If there were no feminist men I would have no faith in humanity. So, if you feel like telling your stories do not be afraid and share it, you will feel better after it even though it may hurt while speaking up about them.
All in all, feminism has become stronger than ever in the last year, and we have to keep it up. Every responsible person must get involucrated in one way or another so we can improve our society to enjoy a better present, and leave a better future for our children.

WEEK 3: IN MY VIEW (Isabel Martínez Puche)



Write your opinion about a trending topic you strongly support or condemn.

GUN CONTROL

A debate that has recently arose again is gun control in the USA. Every time a shooting happens, the population questions if guns should really be controlled. According to the USA’s laws, a gun can be sell even to a person with mental problems. This supposes a problem due to the number of fatal shootings in this country is the biggest compared with other countries that control gun selling. Some people agree with this control meanwhile other people are against it and don’t consider it necessary. In my opinion, it is indispensable to control guns in the USA.  I find it extremely disturbing how many governments have ignored this huge issue along the history. Many demonstrations have been made and are being made currently with no results until this day. The saddest thing is that the probabilities for this law to be changed are almost non-existent. Not only the actual president is against allowing a gun control law, but also, he proposed to solve this problem by using more guns. It is really saddening to see this situation nowadays, considering the numerous shootings that have already happened. I guess humans really don’t learn from their mistakes or simply that the government doesn’t care about the population at all. Or it could be both. All in all, gun control should be imposed in the USA to avoid many unnecessary deaths but those that are able to change the situation just won’t help.
