Ben and Feifei discussing about the films that make us cry and why we actually enjoy watching something that makes us burst into tears (cry a lot). And they talk about the language is associated with cryimg.
They take a references about the emotions with the Psychologist called Dr. Averil Leimon what she said the emotions are manipulated because then they're allowed to have them. And the opinion of  Philip Sheppard, Film score composer. He said that the music and movies generate a catharsis, specially when they are in a crowd, people's emotional responses are much more intantaneously responsive.

This program is very interesting because they watch a vision about the movies that us cry a lot, putting a vision of two professionals that they tell us that they thing about de connection between movies and people who watch it. For me, nothing is unusual because I know many movies makes me cry.

2.- My plans for the summer aren't special, because I will go to Talca to visit to my parents and maybe I will ho to Buenos Aires, Argentina. But I dont think about this travel and its depends to my parents job. Maybe I will work in the Biblos' library for two or three weeks in the Christmas season

3.- I think that Fernanda will go to many places with her boyfriend and they go to travel arround the world, because Fernanda will be a great businesgirl. She will spend all the time in Tahiti or another beach in the Central America or the Caribean, but I think that she will have a house in France or other country in Europe. She will be loved for many peoples because she is a good person and big boos.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Mark Twain (1835-1910) is a famous American writer. His name was Samuel Clemens. Young Samuel lived in Missouri, a small town on the Mississippi River. Hi loves adventures. Then he went to Nevada. He looked for treasure, but he didn’t find it. He worked for a newspaper there.

The book tell the story about a young boy who name is Tom Sawyer, he has twelve or threteen years old, (in the book never tell about the age of Tom.)
He is a boy who lives with her aunt Polly, he lives more adventures because he is a clever and naughty boy, he always gets in troubles and his aunt Poly scold him. All the book tell about many histories of Tom and his friend Huckleberry Finn arround one big history.
When Tom and Huck goe to the cementery and saw Joe murdered a men, but the drunk men of the town is guilty about the murder. Is tom who declared that the man is inocent and Joe is that who kill the men. All town (está asombrado por) the Tom's confession and Joe is founded guilty, but Joe escape.
Time after Tom goes to the cave with Becky, (his friend that become in her girlfriend) but they were lost for three days and the town try to fund them but they (logran salir de la cueva), while Huck watches the malefactors, who try found a treasure but Huck hear all the bad things that they make, and he scaped faster to the cave and whent for help, but once again the bad men scape into the cave. The sheriff clossing the cave and Joe with others men die into the cave. After that situation, Tom and huck found the treasure in the cave. The Judge Douglas' widow adopted Huck and give him a good education, but the boy doesn't bear and he gone to live in the shores of the Mississipi river, and this history finish when Mark Twain said that two boys become in a young men.

I supossed to say that this history happens in the year 1945 because in this time the boys worked so much.

I love this book because the history is the most funny and thriller history I could have reed when I was a child, I really love Tom and Huck because that childs are most inteligents than all the adults in the book and Tom always take a chance have fun when all of his adventures. I recomended the book to all the people who like adventures.

I really love all Taylor's songs but my favorites songs are "I knew you were trouble", "Mine" and "22". Because they are these those who more identify me and my experiences. I love Taylor Swift and her music because she try to show to people that the worst situations always can be overcome.
