El poder de la Intencion

My favorite book is called "El Poder de la Intencion" and the writter`s name in Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. Who spent much of his adolescence in an orphanage.Then he received his Doctor of Education in counseling from Wayne State University. He was a counselor in Detroit at the high school level and a professor of counselor education at another university in New York.
He got married and divorced two times, having seven of his eight children by his second wife, Marcelene. His job is to help and motivate people in each on of his books to try to make them feel better with themselves, and have a better life.
I think Dr. Wayne was a person who suffered a lot while growing up in the orphanage, having to deal with all that stress and crying, since an adolescent; and even more when he got married and divorced twice. I`m sure these most be the reasons that made him want to help people and he thought the best solution was to write books to get to all of those who are suffering just as much or even more than him.
This is why I've chosen him, because I really admire his work and I love the fact that hi cares about people.

Pablo Neruda is a famous writer in latinoameria, he was born y Parral-Chile on July 12,1904. His mother die a few days after he was born, the person who discouraged Neruda's affinity for poetry since the age of 10.

In the university he won his first literary prize with "La cancion de fiesta", in 1924 with his poem "Vente poema de amor y una cancion desesperada", as a personal opinion I love this poem, this poem was converted in a sold exit (supere one million of copies), it makes that he could be situated in one of the more destacated poets.

Neruda was married three times, also in Chile didn`t recognize his second married. His published poetry was widely respected at the age of twenty. He follow his career to Asia, then in Europe in 1930's he became involved in political actions as well as much of his poetry.

Jules Verne

Enormously popular French author, the founding father of science fiction with H.G.Wells. Verne's stories, written for adolescents as well as adults, caught the enterprising spirit of the 19th century, its uncritical fascination about scientific progress and inventions. Many of Verne's ideas have been hailed as prophetic. Among his best-known books is the classic adventure story Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).

This is a novel about the adventures of Phileas Fogg and his servant Passerpartout. One day while Phileas Fogg is with some friends, he reads in a newspaper that it is possible to travel around the world in eighty days. No one believes this is true, except Phileas.

Jules Verne talks about travels in his books for example "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "From to the Center of the Earth". Maybe this writter traveled a lot of in his life for this reason He likes to write books with protagonistes to do travels.

System of a Down

System Of A Down, a Los Angeles-based "nu-metal" band, was formed by three Armenian-Americans (Serj Tankian on vocals, Daron Malakian on guitar, Shavo Odadjian on bass). System Of A Down (American, 1998) introduced a violent approach to social commentary, reminiscent of the hysteria of the old punk-rock school but enhanced with metal riffs and assorted sonic detours. War? and Suite-Pee bear the stigmata of the Dead Kennedys, plus panzer riffs and demented screams. The best of the political rants, P.L.U.C.K., is a volcano that erupts sweet refrains, death groans, psychotic riffs and even ska beats. However, the band's originality is best displayed in the songs that straddle the border between genres, both in the ethnic realm, notably the syncopated middle-eastern metal fusion of Know, but also the foreign musical accents of Soil, in the pop realm, such as the bombastic power-ballad Spiders, and in the grotesque realm, with Sugar, and Suggestions, two music-hall skits gone terribly awry, and the emphatic and sarcastic Peephole, that simply takes those two sick ditties to an even more evil dimension. The six-minute Mind is the vocalist's tour de force, running the gamut from whisper to roar and dragging the music into an emotional black hole.
Comment: Personal I like fthis band because they try to give a message to the young people, that war only bring violence, poor and death, and this is a interesting point of view, almost for a nu-metal band.

A single mother and an intelligent woman, Storni often felt held back by a society where intellectual pursuits were considered the realm of men. She famously described herself as superior al término medio de los hombres que me rodean; "superior to most of the men who surround me". In many of her poems and in articles she wrote during the 20s, she is highly critical of society's treatment of women.
