I Do not Love you Except Because I love you

This poem it's all about love, love makes us happy, love makes us sad, but we have to love because if we do not love we are not human beings. Love is the best thing that we have in our lives, it is so wonderful, that sometimes it hurts, but with the love of the other people we can get up and continue with our mission in life. This poem is what many of our young people are going throughout their daily life, for example that we love and hate at the same time for example. In this poem he expresses his feelings through writing and this is what I think all of us should do instead of keeping it in your inner self. Write a poem or a letter to express yourself sometimes wish that we never loved someone so selfish and insensitive.

The agony is endless, there's a glass wall between love and hate. It is often said that there is a thin line between love and hate. I think this poem also covers that idea. The ones we love may also be the ones who have the capacity to hurt us, yet we still find more reasons to love them at the end of the day. Love is the most ironic and confusing of all emotions. It requires us to be weak and strong at the same time, to give up and have more, to love because of and in spite of.

Pablo Neruda is trying to convey is the feeling of frustration of loving someone who does not love you in return is not about falling in love with someone in particular. It expresses what each and every one of us experience or at least would like to experience that is the state of mind and spirit that makes one depend entirely on the loved person's love.

We all need to love and be loved in return and most of us, I think, will live their life and try making it better for the love. It's quite unnatural what love does to a human being and to its senses and this poem has just the best words to describe this state and also the natural fear of losing the purpose of life.

This poem does not have any simile, but it has some metaphors. In the first stanza, the fourth verse it says “My heart moves from cold to fire” is a metaphor. It refers to the transitions of his feelings that goes from not feeling anything to a development of a passion. In the third stanza it says: “Maybe in January light will consume” it maybe means that both lovers will be together in time and the distance will no longer be a problem. Finally the last verse of the poem ends with a metaphor that says “Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood”. The author now referring directly to the other person, is expressing an unconditional love, sharing a passion that not only hurts the mental but also the physical by saying in fire and blood.

"More Than Words"

By Extreme

Saying I love you
Is not the words
I want to hear from youIt's not that
I want youNot to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand

All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying
I love you
More than words

The song of More than words is my favorite song ever. Is dedicated to someone that do not show his or her inner feelings.  More than words refers to love, is constantly explaining that saying “I love you” are not just words, it is an action that you can feel and not hear. 

Saying words cannot exist if you do not show them.  It shows that is better not to say them and just make them happen and make them real.  The structure of this song have repetition in the verse and has rhymes in almost every stanza.

A Unreal Act in Othello


Othello is a tragedy by Whilliam Shakespeare, have been written in approximately 1603. In this play, they have a very controversial character that was Othello, he was a “Moor” that means black man. He was a general and commander of the Venetian armed forces, and later governor of Cyprus. In one way the part to be in a white world make him innocent of the ways sometimes he think, because he is a black man that is influence by the white world, he was a dark man and is not only because is black is because he was very mysterious man. Othello create an anger of base on an unreal act because of Iago egoism. He asks to the people about the things that Iago are telling to him.

Iago and Othello are soldiers and good friends. He has a very good friend that was a soldier with him his name is Iago. At the beginning he was very confiable with Desdemona. But he put all his trust in Iago during times of war and during Othello's marriage to Desdemona. Everyone considered Iago as honest, and was impossible to Othello to believe that he was lying. One example of the act was when, Othello had told the Duke, "So please your grace, my ancient; A man he is of honesty and trust. To his conveyance I assign my wife, with what else needful your good grace shall think, to be sent after me”.

Othello start doubting of his wife Desdemona. He ask to someone if is true all the things that Iago are telling him, but he don’t believe in anything that the this person is saying to him, don`t believe that Iago, is capable of saying to him lies, he have a genuine friendship with Iago and this do that he believe in him with the close eyes. Othello allows himself to be influenced by Iago, and allows him to bring out his most evil characteristics although Iago may be the more evil of the two characters. To see why Othello commits his crime and why he has to be believed responsible for it, we must examine his motive. It can be claimed that what actually causes Othello to do murder is not that is mentally weakened is that he was manipulated by Iago.
Iago bring him the news of his wife's bad habits. Othello had no other alternative he believe in him. Iago not only told him but he told him in a way that it was hard not to believe. He didn't tell a couple who that have been married for years, and who would know the likes and dislikes of one another, but he told a newlywed couple. Othello didn't really know Desdemona before they were married. Othello was jealous and when he was killing her he told her that he was killing for justice.

My English

My English

The development of my English begin in the pre-school, that we have some songs, cards and books that teach us English. Then I go to first grade and we have only one class in English, then all of my high school was in English, the only two classes that I have in Spanish was religion and Spanish. This helps me to understood and learned English. I use English every day of my life, when the computer turn on all are in English, then the Internet is English. My cell phone is in English, the movies, the seasons, TV, magazines and books too.

  When you have and interview for work they always ask if you are bilingual, this is very important to the company to give you the job. My future using English is very important because you used it all the days in your life. For example in Puerto Rico minimum in a day too will heard one word in English. For example when you go to a fast food like McDonalds what you order is in English, when you go to the store and you see a merchandise that is in sale they have a paper in English that said sale or clearance. Almost all the movies are in English and when you buy the entrance to the movies you don’t said “boleto” you said ticket.

  In my future I need English to get a good job if you decide to work in a international company or if you want to do business with others countries. I need English because I want to teach my children’s a good English, because when the children’s are smaller more quickly they learn the things. My concentration is sociology and I have to do researches than are in English. I want to do my master in the U.S.A. We have a big problem that some of the Americans don’t learn to speak our language and we have to learn the language of them because we are part of them and we have to communicate with them. I need English because I love to travel to the U.S.A. and we have to communicate with them.
