Diagram Of A Longboat

Fahrenheit 451.


Can you imagine a world where prohibited read?, Where crime is considered a reading?, You imagine a society that considers harmful the act of reading?

Throughout history, there have been acts of censorship or prohibition of certain subjects or authors, from the prohibitorum librorium Index (Index of Prohibited Books) from the Church Catholic to the burning of books by the Nazis. And a more recent one, linked to our country, was the burning of books Biology in Guanajuato that contained explicit images of male and female reproductive organs, that promoted condom use and gender equity. "

is widely known the interest of some governments to maintain benighted citizens, to make them incapable of being critical and analytical people of reality is known demagoguery and religious bigotry of some who likewise seek to maintain the faithful involved in passivity and a smokescreen. All this to maintain their power and profits intact. This issue involves

the movie Fahrenheit 451 Francois Truffaut, released in 1966, which is based on the book of the same name by Ray Bradbury, published in 1953.

The film is set in a future civilization, supposedly more civilized and happy. Where is prohibited curiously reading books that are burning the houses of those who continue to deny such retrograde law.

managers to carry out this action are the firefighters, who now are no longer dedicated to mitigating fire, but, paradoxically, to burn these beautiful works created lietarias over humanity. The body of "fire" is called Fahrenheit 451 because at that temperature the role of inflammation and burning books.

The story focuses on Montag, a fireman influenced by hatred of reading, which performs its work with particular zeal and energy, your life is empty and monotonous, with his wife who is enajenda television. But when he meets a smart woman and enthusiastic, her life and thoughts will collapse.

The film shows us the power and manipulation used by rulers to maintain their privileged status, preventing the intellectual development of the population, and thus easily manageable and deceived. Are turned into servants harmless, robots programmed to obey.

"There are worse things than burning books, one of them is not reading"

"Television, that insidious beast, that Medusa which turned to stone millions of people every night staring at her, that siren call and sing, that promises much and actually gives very little"

Here is the link to view the film is in 4 parts.

How Much Will It Cost To Do Designer Baby

Octavio Paz ... Say, do. The Beatles in Jamaica


Having won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature, Mario Vargas Llosa joins the select group of gifted American writers of this important recognition of his literary work. Among these writers are Pablo Neruda and Gabriela Msitral of Chile, Guatemala Miguel Angel Asturias, Gabriel García Márquez of Colombia, and Octavio Paz of Mexico.

And just this year that marks 20 Octavio Paz received the award, exalted as one of the most outstanding thinkers in the world of letters. A site that although had not won the Nobel and was appointed for him and his legacy, as indeed happened with Borges, Cortazar, Kafka, Proust, Nabokov, etc.., who never won, but the importance and significance of his work are beyond recognition.

In times like these, where the country is embroiled in a terrible crisis, the figure of Octavio Paz towering resounds forcefully in a beam of hope and clarity, clarity and vision that marked the decay of power and detestable manifestations. A thinker located above any political affiliation and ideological We placed against any doctrine that respect for human rights.

A poet who showed us the beauty turned words, the beauty made poetry.

say, do.
Octavio Paz.

Between what I see and say,
Between what I say and keep quiet,
Between what I keep silent and sleep,
Between what I dream and forget
Poetry.
glides between yes and no, says

so silent, silent

what I say, dreams

what I forget.
There is a saying:
is done. A

do that is to say.

Poetry speaks and hears is real
. And just say

is real,
dissipates.
So is real? Idea
palpable, impalpable

word:
poetry comes and goes


between what is and what is not.
weaves and unravels
reflexes. Poetry planting

eyes
pages planting words in the eyes.

Eyes speak the words look, looks think
. Hear

thoughts,
see what we say

play

body of the idea.
eyes closed

The words open.

About treintagésimo the death anniversary of John Lennon ...


had earlier emphasized how fortunate we feel what happens when the path of the Rock and Jamaican music converge, and we did when we talk about Dub Reggae version of the Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and Radiohead's OK Computer, which made the good-natured Easy Star All - Stars (albums were named Dub Side of the Moon and Radiodread respectively). What about the selection of Jonny Greenwood made for Trojan Records? (Jonny Greenwood Is the Controller).

However, do imagine Bob Marley in his early days performing a The Beatles song?

No doubt this will seem like a sacrilege to more than one, but in my opinion is quite interesting what is the combination of two of the most influential pillars of contemporary music: Rock & Roll and the music of Jamaica.

That said, I leave you with 4 tracks of the beetles, pureed, strained and served in a glass Jamaican. I recommend especially the versions performed in the voice of Prince Buster and Alton Ellis.


1. Prince Buster - All My Loving (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
2. Alton Ellis - And I Love Her (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
3. Keith Lynn & The SPM's - My Sweet Lord (George Harrison)
4. The Wailing Wailers - And I Love Her (John Lennon / Paul McCartney)


And if you like the roll of listening to "bitles" Reggae version, I recommend the disc where they can hear more rolas of that is perhaps most emblematic of the band Rock & Roll, performed in true Jamaican style:

• Trojan Beatles Tribute Box Set (Various Artists)
• Green Album (various artists)
• Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band (Easy Star All - Stars)
