The lottery by Shirley Jackson
Ok guys, these are my answers about this story. I would like to know whether you agree or not with me, so don't hesitate to comment this post!
What happens at the end of the story?
That's a very shocking story for me. I can't believe that people motivated for their traditions or beliefs can do such a terrible thing without realizing how bad it is.
At the end of the story after Tessie Hutchinson picked the paper with the black spot on it, villagers stoned her until dead. Even somebody had given her little son few pebbles to hit her, but she just kept saying that it was fair because her husbund didn't have enough time to pick the paper. That means for me that she didn't realize that the lottery itself was the wrong tradition insted of the way or time to pick the papers.
Why does it happen?
She has to be killed because that's what the tradition say about who picks the paper with the black spot. Villagers just follow their tradition because it's what they have done for long time.
Do you think the villagers know why it happens?
I don't think they completely know why they are doing it, but they really know to use stones

Samue Butler' quote
Belief, like any other moving body, follows the path of least resistance Samuel Butler
Although most of the time people follows the path of least resistance, they know that in order to achieve their major goals the path to be followed will not be that easy.
What I mean by easy is that when you really want to reach any goal or get something done, you will have to fight for it. Even when the steps to reach your goals are so hard that you don't think you can doing, you will end up feeling more satisfied of what has been done. In light of this, I don't agree completely with samuel's quote!
Remember! Nobody is going to do the things you're supposed to do, specially if the final benefited is you!

working on the presentations I remembered a funny story of my life!
Did working on the presentations change or re-enforce any of your ideas about the material we covered?
The first time I thought about what my position about obedience was, I believed that I was 100% sure, but I wasn’t. Actually, in my first post I wrote that I didn’t consider myself as an obedient person but the true is that I am. Yes, Since I was a little girl I’ve been seeing my parents as the maximum authority, as well as I have never answered in a bad way to a teacher, older relative or any other person who,unconsciously, I qualified as superior.
I was taught to be obedient but I didn’t realize it until I started reading, and cheking web pages about this controversial topic.
I want to share an anecdote of my life that it’s quite funny. Once, I went out with some of my friends to a birthday party where was my older brother best friend, who had been kind of part of the family for more than 10 years and who I would obey as if he were my brother; he was dancing with a girl of my age and he was very cool with all my friends. The funny part is that I didn’t feel free to do what I normally used to do at birthday’s party like drinking beers, smoking cigarettes and dancing with everybody. I feel like he was watching me all the time. My friends were very upset with my attitude so I told them I wanted to leave. Before I had left the party, my brother’s friend asked me if I wanted him driving me home; because it was the easiest and safest way, I accepted. While we were on the way he offered me a cigarette and he almost made me to drink a beer as well, he told me he knew I had done those things before and because he had done it when he was at my age he knew I wouldn’t do it forever.
I found this a funny story because I thought he was a model of authority and, because I knew that what I used to do wasn’t right, he would tell me to stop or tell my brother; but, nothing of that happened.
All right guys! Class is over, so leave me some comments about what you think I should have done in that party or what is your opinion about my idea of authority that night!

Vive tu vida- Live your life! La pestilencia
Hi guys! there's a video of the song I wanted to show you all, Please check it out and leave some comments!
Vive tu vida
Desde la cuna hasta tu tumba
Tienen elegido tu camino
Al colegio al ejercito al trabajo
Cásate procréate y muere
Coro:
Vive tu vida déjate ya de servilismos x4
Los primeros dueños son tus padres
Luego la patria y el gobierno
Le debes todo a tu familia
Y a tu dios que estas creyendo
Coro:
Vive tu vida déjate ya de servilismos x4
Basta de ser más engañado
Basta de ser manipulado
Reacciona se tu mismo
Deja de vivir esa mentira
Coro:
Vive tu vida déjate ya de servilismos x4
Live Your Life
Frome the cradle to your grave
Your way is already choosen
You have to study, serve in the military, go to work
Get married, procreate and die.
Chorus:
Life your own life now!, stop being so servile
Your first owners are your parents, then your country,
And last your government.
You owe everything to your family
And to the God you believe in.
Chorus:
Life your own life now!, stop being so servile
Enough of being cheated
Enough of being manipulated
Wake up! Be yourself!
Stop living a lie
By the way, I want to thank Andres because he helped me to find this song! thanks Andres!

Regarding obedience...
I think I'm not obedient enough because I question what people want me to do until I end up not doing it if I think it’s not worth. I don’t consider myself as rebel person either, but what I really think I am, could be defined as an emotive person that allow their feelings go above their thoughts. Not all the time but mosly I do. Do you guys think it’s bad to be that emotional or not?
