"Big Brother is watching you"

This quotation is one of the main frases of the book "1984" written by George Orwell.
It is a reminder of the fact that people are under control during 24 hours a day and they have to obey always, that whenever they do something that is prohibited, they will get caught and punished.
This way of controlling people is really effective because what they do is impose fear on people, the population knows that if they don't follow the rules they can be tortured or killed, so they prefer to be obedient before dying. What's more, in "1984" this message is written on telescreens which have cameras and are everywhere, so this is a reminder that there isn't a place where they cannot be seen. That causes people to be even more fearful. In my opinion this it the more useful way of controlling people of the three i've exposed.

2 + 2 = 5

What this quotation from George Orwell's book "1984" is trying to tell us, is that the correct answer or what you have to believe in, is what Big Brother is telling you. That if you have an idea, you have to erase it from your mind and believe even if it's not true or it isn't proved, what they're telling you.
This way of controlling the society is difficult to impose because everyone thinks in a different way, you can't tell them what to think, so they punish the population who think against them. At the end, they give up and let those people control their minds so that they don't make them suffer anymore.
That's when they finally reach their goal of imposing an idea in people's minds.

"Freedom is Slavery"

This quotation is from the book "1984", written by George Orwell.
In my opinion, this quotation is a contraposition, the people who promote the slogan are trying to convince the population that being a slave is good, when the truth is that they are antonyms. What they want is to control people's minds so they take to opposite words and day that the good one is the bad one.
I think that this way of controlling people's minds needs another support to be more effective.
But I find really interesting this way of publicity.

My favourite candie

I could never ever choose between all the candies that I have eaten during all my life,  because I love them all. I love how their sweet taste spreads all over your mouth and you can't stop eating them because they're so delicious.
When I was younger I would say the candies that I would have killed for would have been mashmellows, because they are so soft and have strawberry taste which I love, pizza gummies too, I find them funny, because it's like you're eating a mini pizza but it's just a gummy that tastes as pizza.
Another candie I loved to eat was large fried eggs, which I still like them, because they are spongeous and delicious, and although I love all kinds of cables the ones that I like the most are the Giant Strawberry Cables, because they are so big that you have eaten a lot when you finish one of them.

About  chocolates, my favourite candies with chocolate were the Chocolate Gold coins of 2€, I loved eating them because they are made of chocolate with milk, which I adore, and you have to eat more than one to full yourself, and I think they are lovely for young children.
I like all the existing candies and I love eating them, but these would be my favourite ones when I was a child.

My first memory

I can't remember much about my life when I was 1 to 5 years old, but there's one shocking and funny thing that got stuck into my mind from those years.

I was then 3 years old and I was at P-3 in primary school, that day we were drawing Christmas' trees to hang them on the class' walls. I remember going to the toilet at playground time. In those times we had to share it with the boys and the toilet was actually between the two P-3 classes. As you can imagine, those weren't the cleanest toilets you could pee in but we didn't mind. 
In the left side of my class, outside, in the playground there was a huge anthill, you could see the ants crossing the door and going into the class, which I think we found funny and interesting.
So going back to what I was saying about the toilet, I basically went in to the toilet to pee, but what I found was something fairly unpleasant. So, there were two of my friends in that toilet, Joan and Quim, eating those ants which had got there as I said, crossing the class' door. 

I can't remember how I felt in that moment, but based in my nowadays thoughts I would say I might have been horrified and amazed at the same time. Now, when I remember that experience I prefer to laugh about it, because I know I'll never forget how two of my friends ate some ants in the toilet. What's more, It might be stuck in my mind because I wouldn't want that to happen to me and because it's the first thing I remember when I go back to my past.

What is beauty?

Beauty is a word that has more than one meaning. Each person sees beauty in different ways, everyone has its own meaning for the word.

My idea of beauty it depends on what you're talking about. 
I find beauty in a person when he/she has a great personality, you don't have to be gorgeous to be beautiful, in my opinion how you act and how your personality is, it's the most important. For me, a beautiful person would be someone who is kind and generous to other people, who knows what is important in life and doesn't judge at first sight, someone who is not superficial or materialistic, someone you can talk to about everything and that person doesn't judge you for who you are. A beautiful person is someone that cares about other people's feelings and doesn't take for granted your friendship and that strives to keep that friendship. It's someone that wants you by his/her side for who you are, not for what you have.

I would say a beautiful thing it's the sunset, I love amazing views, so when I think about beauty in the way of landscape I think about big cities or small towns with their castles and wonderful streets, or the countryside, green grass and flowers, fresh air, that would be something beautiful too.

So that's how I see beauty, as an amazing view or a kind-hearted and beautiful in the inside person.
