Art

So I was trying to choose my favorite piece of art at the moment but I couldn't choose in between two. These two pieces are from the same artist. Moonassi is the artist name he have been using since long ago. All drawings are painted using black ink and drawing faces with no expression, no time, place or gender so we can focus on what the character is feeling or thinking.

First piece goes by the name of: BLOW YOUR MIND
When contemplating this drawing I think about imagination and how powerful our minds are.
I consider myself a creative person that's always trying to discover new things. I love to have my own opinions and I'm very proud of my thoughts. 

Second piece: You are SUR-REAL

This one because of the ambiguity of the name "YOU ARE SUR-REAL" and because of what I see it represents something I truly believe in.
I do believe we have two states of consciousness. One is us been aware that we are here on the earth planet living as humans with a body. Second and most important to me us been aware that we are infinite, that we are souls. This makes me wants to develop a connection or a sense of satisfaction with myself and others. All of us are stars from the universe, we are infinite. We are sur-real.


I really feel identified with Moonassi's drawings.

UNIT 7-8


unit 7 helped me to understand the meaning and the use of verbs followed by infinitives or gerunds.
I kind of remembered this from high school but I'm glad we went over it because I got one of them wrong.

Another thing I learned was the correct use of when describing quantity.
example: virtually all (of)


Pollution

Pollution is big problem in our society nowadays not just here in Costa Rica but over the world. Pollution is the action of making water, air or land dirty and not safe to use. Because we only have one earth and it's the one where we are living right now I'm going to talk about three solutions.

The first solution and almost the first thing they teach us at school will be to understand the concepts of reduce, reuse and recycle. We all learned this at school but who really practices it?. These three R's are the key to help our planet. We all need to use fewer resources from nature so we can reduce. One easy way to reuse is by donating our stuff. 

Another solution would be if we learn how to conserve energy. Whenever we save energy we are not only saving money but also reducing the demand for oil, natural gases or more. We can start helping by using less hot water when taking a shower. Select the most energy-efficient models when you replace your old appliances.

And third solution is to use public transportation or whenever possible to walk. Nowadays there is a term that people are getting used to and is really helping our air and is carpooling. Carpooling is the sharing of a car journey so that more than one person travels by car. This is very common between co-workers, students, friends and family.

In conclusion these three solutions would help us saving our planet if we practice these. These ways of taking care of our earth are very easy to do. If we start doing this as a habit people would learn from us.
So let's start our fight against pollution and save our world.
