Biographie of the Caribbean


This book is very interesting because it tells stories of the Latin American continent. The low people stories.
"Biography of the Caribe" it was written by German Arciniegas, a colombian, who did not receive the Nobel prize and he did not benefit from some boom. He belonged to the call “Generation of the New ones”, of century XX. German was not novelist, the favorite sort by the readers of our time. The author stood out in the test, also like publisher of magazines, historian and sociologist.

Arciniegas fitted to the people and facts of History instead of to create fabulous fiction personages. It did it like anybody, and that is the merit by which does not have to forget it. Under its pen History stops being raw material of learned manuals and boring, to be territory where the most amazing things happen, those than they would challenge to any prodigal imagination. In addition it reached to make Literature of the test, being around other great ones: Jose Martí, Alfonso Reyes, Octavio Paz, Jose Lezama Lima, Jorge Luis Borges.

In this book the history is not what the great governors and soldiers did, said in another one of its typical postulates. “It is necessary to approach the man of the street, the vulgar creature who comprise of the mighty crowd of the cities or the farmer who lose in Pampas or the mountain”. Instead of “Political History”, the one that founds heroes and kings, it advocated Arciniegas who were written “Natural History”, the one that portrays the soul of the towns from its common people.

The environment: La Aurora en Curacaví.


It is important that we understand the value of land, natural resources, the simple tools that allow us to life and human relations from children. Educate ourselves means respecting the environment and produce food or things that help us to create mutual support between communities. Recycling is an activity used to leverage is not entirely spent, and has greater usefulness of consumerist sense that Chilean society intends to give objects waste material.
My bicycle is bad. To go to College and work use collective locomotion. Frequently walking enough to move me short journeys but I need to fix it soon to go out and take a walk with my friends. There are very large and beautiful places to make entertaining, rides as the Quinta normal, forest park, old neighborhoods and populations generally have corners without cars to travel with peace of mind.
According to my experience we learn to respect our surroundings when we are conscientious of the world that we constructed common.
I lived in Curacaví and there I participated in an ecological group, in which we made cycles of cinema and historical.
Also, we held the festival summer of music in a field and cleaning of the town, since the municipality does not contribute with constant cultural campaigns.
This group for many efforts to follow in this way in diverse directions. Along with giving useful information to the community, factories have become of orchard with children, those that teach the value of the nature of funny way.
It is indispensable that in invisible communes for the great capitals exists activities to be educated altogether. I am of the people who do not consume in excess, that obtains things of the own creation and if there are sufficient or no technical resources, use my body to move the ideas, that is to say, treatment always to obtain the tools to include me in some space of support to political by societies that act consequently and so it really benefits to them. To our “Santiago” a right and equitable system needs to him. An example of it would be to stop renewing cars every year and worrying about the education.
