My only favorite Book!

The only book that I liked in my life was “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone” (the first book of all the literary series), writed by the british author named J.K. Rowling.

This book tells the story of an orphan little boy that was raised by his uncle named Bernon Dursley, his aunt and his cousin Dudley (a spoiled and unbearable boy); that hates him. Harry discover in his eleventh birthday that he is a wizard, because Hagrid the guardian of “Howard” (a school of magic) arrive to the house and tells to Harry about his fabulous reality.

For Harry, is very difficult to believe that he and his died parents (James and Lily Potter) are wizards; but then he start to believe because he knows another wizards in the “Diagon Alley”, then in the railroad, and finally in the Howard School. During the story, Harry makes a lot of friends how are Neville Longbottom (a fat and shy boy), Ronald Weasley (his read-haired best friend), Hermione Granger (his beautiful and inteligent best friend), Rubeus Hagrid (a giant man, keys guardian of Howard), Albus Dumbledore (the head teacher of the Howard School and the best wizard of the Magic world), and another people how the McGonagall teacher, etc.; but he doesn’t make just friends. Harry has a lot of enemies how are Draco Malfoy (a very bad blonde boy), the Snape teacher (the potions teacher and the head of the Slytherin house), the dark-arts teacher named Quirrell (the assistant of Lord Voldemort), and finally the most dangerous and powerful enemy of Potter, Lord Voldemort (the most dark and bad wizard in the world, how killed to Lily and James Potter).

All the time Harry with his two best friends achieve to defeat the evil and the problems, but they are all the time playing a leading role at all the events in the film.

This is a very good book, how is the film to; but is true that this book has a lot of details that the film never shows to us. If you love the adventures stories and you never read that book, you have to do that now!

The nature and the environment for me...

In general, the people don’t make a lot of things to take care the environment; they know about the practices and habits for a good support of the nature but they don’t have the mentality to value all the natural things that we have around of us.

Sometimes, the schools and some ecological organizations make campaigns to achieve a most friendly attitude of the people for the environment and for the nature, animals, flowers-trees and plants, the water, the hills and the dirt; but is not a lot of people that take care the environment…. And I don’t know what is the reason; maybe is the habit, or the little social aware about the danger that makes the contamination in the earth. Sometimes the kindergardens and the first grades of education in the school, achieve that the little children care and love the nature, and in general in our society; the old people is more attached to the environment and the natural spaces because they grew in a world without technology and gray spaces; and all we know that the majority of the grandmothers love so much the plants and the gardening.

I can say that in my life I never take care so much the environment, I don’t recycle things, and I never participated in eco-organizations, etc. I like so much the plants and the animals because are very beautiful, and sometimes I try to don’t throw the wrappers on the ground, but I accept that the reality is that I don’t have a great conscience to take care the water, the light, and the air contamination, because I never try to ride a bike. I always walk some distance to the bus or to the subway and I don’t use a car but I use the collective locomotion.

Well, is true that I like the green spaces, I love so much to go to natural places full of trees and plants and green hills and lakes and rivers and flowers and dirt roads and a lot of wild animals, without gray streets and big buildings and commercial places; but I admit that I never make things to take care the environment but I thnik that one of the reasons is that we grew up in a society that is not interested in the natural things, and where the only thing that is important is the technology and the modernization; where all the efforts that you make for preserve the nature are in vain.

I only can say that I expect that if in Santiago we can’t make anything to preserve the natural places because all or the majority of them are dissapeared, but I expect that all the other places that our country even has, how are some towns, regions, beaches and communes never run to the modernization, because are all that we have yet, with all the nature and the native environment that this was born in the past.

Summary of: Study Links Bedtime Rules to Better Skills in Preschool Children

About this, is important to understand that the bedtime in children is very dificult to respect, but is essential to their growing process, because a good bedtime improve their development.

Some studys says that in the four years old, the bedtime at the same time with eleven hours to sleep, is good for children; and the contrary, produces some descents of the regular performance. Some studys makes that the parents have to follow routines like reading books or telling stories to their children, before the sleeptime, trying to achieve an earlier bedtime to get higher scores; and not only for this, because is important too, that the children who sleep later and haven’t routines, has a bad sleepy and a unsatisfactory rest.

Another good thing is that more sleep make a person run faster (example with Stanford University football players) and the sleep is part of an athlete’s training program. Finally, all the adults should try to get seven or eight hours of sleep; teenagers and young adults should sleep for nine hours or more, going to bed and wake up at the same times every day; and taking brief naps during the day to get extra sleep.
