Storytelling


STORYTELLING


A storyteller is a person who tells stories to others. For me it is an art, because the person has to do sounds and act. They have to change voices, to change the feeling of the story, like a happiness or afraid, to talk faster and louder to do the story more exciting, to use dialogue and to use different voices for different characters.
Sometimes, the storyteller use different techniques to tell the story; for example, they use puppets to do the story funnier.
It’s very important to preserve this culture to tell stories, because if you use this technique you can make the story funnier and all the audience pay more attention and they enjoy that.
There are many kinds of stories; for example, fairytale; this case is when in the story is a princess and prince, they have a love history with a happy ending, like sleep beauty, snow white and Cinderella. Also, there are stories about fears, for example about vampires, monsters and some others. There are stories for babies or children like puss in boots, the three little pigs.
In Costa Rica, there are some examples of stories or legends, like: “La llorona”, “el cadejos”, “la carreta sin bueyes”, “la tule vieja”,” el padre sin cabeza”, “la mona”, and some others.

Foot print


What would you next generations to help reduce their foot print?

The foot print is made when the people contaminate the environment. So, how do people contaminate? When they throw garbage, contaminate the river and the air, smoke and some others actions. These actions are affecting the world; and in a short term, this effect will be irreversible.
So, we can stop with this, but we need to act now.
We have to start to teach children how to care the world, but first we need to start to set an example.
Maybe, also it is necessary to do campains for impel the next generation to take into account that we have to care the world and not destroy it.
It's important to stop now, if not we have to asume the consequences in a long term. So, these actions affect us; for example, the natural disasters are provocate for our actions, and these disasters are killing people, destroying cities and some others damages.
Maybe, we have to start to go to the work by bus, it means less contamination, because if all people use the buses, there will be less cars in the street.

MARRIAGE!!!!




I think that one of the reason is why the marriage now is not obligatory, before the marriage was like an obligation because if the women or man is not married was a less of prestige for the family; I think that was an irrational actitude.
Today, the society it is different, because many things are in constantly change, now the people can decide if they are prepare to get married or not and if they want to assume this responsability.
Also the people think that if they get married, they can't enjoy the life of the same form if they were single, because the marriage implies many responsabilities; for example, they have to support a family, be with one person for the rest of their life and then if they want to have children it's difficult to raise a child and some others things.
I think that it's desicion of each person and now the people can't assume this responsability.
The divorces occur because the people don't think well with who to get married and then in the relationship they have many problems. It is important to know the person and be sure who to get married.
