To whom it may concern.

I would like to work as a mascot because I like to feel happy the other people. Also I'm very laughting and I think that would be a good job for me. Since the General Manager of Toronto Raptors did not pick me, I need to find a job near the basketball. After I thought a lot of jobs nearly basketball I chose the mascot option. I think that I will enjoy this job and people will enjoy me.

Looking forward to your prompt reply.

Yours faithfully

Avatar

Avatar is a movie that is going to premiere in 2009, the idea of the movie was published in 1999. James Cameron, de director write 80 pages in 1994. The movie is set the world in 2154.


Avatar is a movie that the people went to a moon of the Polyphemus planet, Pandora in this moon there are Na'vis.
Na'vis are the people who live in there, they are higher than the humans and they skin are blue. Also they have a tail and a plait that they use to connect with the trees. There is a man Jake Sully the principal actor. He is a human who goes with wheelchair. He help the Na'vis when he connect with a skin like Na'vis. He connect to the skin with a machine. In the special station he meet a biologist who help Jake.


In my opinion is a very good and incredible movie, in there appears a lot of powerful and amazing colors. I think that this movie is the best movie that I ever seen in my life, because the special effects and the idea to create and think this things, It is indescribable.










Death by Funky

Death by Franky is a book in Spanish, I will do a chronic of the Jordi Casals talk.


The author is Jordi Casals, he lives in Roses. He explain to us that first he was doing a script to do a stage play. One of his friends said to him why you don't do a book and he answered to him:" is a very good idea".
After this he started to rewrote the script to did a book. His conclusion was that you ever trust with the people around you.

One of the matter that he started to describe, were the characters, he fond of with Nick the writer who lives in the street, because he got drank all day.


In my opinion he persuaded to me because he know to make people laugh, because he works in "Ins illa de Rodes".
I think that he is a very funny and imagination person. He show this quality when you are reading his book.


Deadly Ebola virus

I talk about a reporter who explain the situation of Ebola, he compare Ebola between African civil war, when he was in Sierra Leona, Africa.

The reporter tell about of the disaster. The people and the reporter lives and share the same pain feelings and the same suffering. He was kidnap by the rebel forces(RUF). When the armed forces free the capital, the work continue and they started a rehabilitation program (UNICEF).

They need to move while he was kidnap, because he and the other people have been bombing by the armed forces.


Now the reporter stay in the same place, Sierra Leona but now there is a different problem, the problem is the Ebola.


He said that his conclusion is that the death of the people is a cause of the Ebola. Before the Ebola he saw the country rebuild, but after the Ebola the country is a disaster like in the African civil war.

The reporter think that he has to stay in this place, because he share who we are. Also he talk about the Domund motto because the happiness will revive, but he confirm that it doesn't revive, only it grow up because we never lose the happiness.

Bologna

Now I talk about Bologna, because I have been in December.

This city is in the north of Italy. Bologna is the largest city and the capital of the Emilia-Romagna Region in Italy. There are one million inhabitants.


The Symbols that distinguish Bologna are two towers the Asinelli Tower and Grisenda Tower. They are approximately 60-70 meters high.
The towers were used by scientists for experiments to study the heavy motion and earth rotation. In World War II they were used as a sight post to prevent bombing attacks.



Bologna is known for giving its name to Bolognese sauce.

The Climate is humid, subtropical climate with a little influence from the sea and much influence from the mountains, so the winters are ver cold.

My brother Roger

I talk about my brother and I will describe a picture of him.

My brother is Roger Garriga Salleras. He's nineteen. He studied to be an aeronautical mechanic in Barcelona.


He went to Art aeronautical museum called aeroteca in Barcelona. He went with the school because He studied for aircraft mechanic.
He explain to me that there was an old man, who works in Kings of Spain (very important aeronautical company).

He flew by Boing 737 from Barcelona to Madrid in the simulator. He said to me that this experience to fly with a simulator, that was like a real plane, was a feeling that he always remember.

Apart of this is an amazing, incredible and witty person, that he always help to me to be a good person.
