Interviews about writing.

 According to the interview that was about writing and that i did on the UBC campus, there were 3 girls and 1 boy, and there were answers that i didn't  expect. All of them had different answers, that surprised me a lot. First of all, i thought that people in North America and US use twitter all the time, but the interview showed other way round. Only one of the student said that she tweet everyday, but others do not even use twitter. Also, the reason that the answers some kind of surprised me was because one of the girl does not write at all, of course except her homework, she does not use any blogs or diaries, but for the question about the favourite social media she said that she prefers Facebook. Moreover, the boy, who's name is Eric, said that he also does not use twitter or Facebook, but he writes on the blog probably once a week, and this is the blog that does not relate to any of his classes. Furthermore, Tina has a personal diary, and she writes there once a month and she does not use Facebook to write her own, serious and personal thoughts there. However, other people do so, and they do not care or they do not think about the consequences that may reveal. In addition, all of them had the same answer for there question about the advantages about reflecting writing. The answers are:  make a rethink about something, to find out the way how you should deal with a particular situation or problem, to get things off your mind and that it is a great way to express your emotions on a paper rather than do it physically. To sum up, this was a very good exercise that gives us an opportunity to work in a group, to socialize and to be more open minded. Also, now i would say that not everyone use Facebook or twitter, as i thought before, to make friends, to get out of the real world or to think about something to make a decision.

My First Blog:) "Being there"

Hi everyone!


This is my first blog, and I'm going to discuss my opinion about the effect of war on relationship.

  Ernest Hemingway, in his short story, clearly describes how war could affect on people's relationship. To begin with, i would say that this is a very nice but some kind of sad story because the end is not like i expected to be. Going back to the discussion theme, war is a huge tragedy that could happen in the world because it separates and postpones families, friends and close people from each other, it revives hostility between people, it loses all hope to be with loved ones. In this story, we see how it separates two people who love each other. But there is a question, if you love somebody will you cheat on them? In my opinion, if you do love someone, you will never do bad things and cheat on  your sweetheart because you will not be able to hurt his/her feelings that are mutual, it means if you don't respect your choice you don't respect your self. So, we can see and i can say that the love that they have it is not true and real. In conclusion, in man's case he doesn't really love her, maybe some of you will argue with me, but what does he prove by having an affair after he knows about Luz's affair? He proves nothing, he proves only that if you do something with a bad purpose, only you and no one else will be hurter more and will have much more troubles than the one you want to hurt. As all of us know, he has worse consequences than Luz. He has an incurable disease.
