Rumble Fish`s Main Characters

Rusty James: He was one of the main characters in “Rumble Fish”. He is a really young kid, who liked fighting and getting into trouble. “Rusty” is important to the book since is his real life, experiences and surroundings the ones that are described in the book.

The Motorcycle Boy: He is “Rusty James” brother. The Motorcycle boy is essential in the book because of his relationship with his brother and his impact on him.
Steve Hays: Rusty`s best friend. In the book it is represented as a good friend who never leaves “Rusty” alone, but that at the end of the story makes a decision and drifts apart from “Rusty James” for good.

Patty: Rusty James` girlfriend. She is in love with “Rusty” until she finds out that he cheated on her, that is when she ends up with their relationship. As we can read in the book, this really affects “Rusty James”.

Cassandra: Supposedly she was the motorcycle Boy’s girlfriend. She didn’t have a big role in the book, but it was very noticeable that Rusty didn’t like her at all. He mentions that is impossible that his brother is with her since she does dope.

Patterson: Member of the police department, a cop, who had been paying close attention to everything that the motorcycle boy and rusty james do. He wanted to get them and put them in jail.

Rusty's parents: Rusty`s mother is gone, she left him when he was a couple of months old. On the other hand, his father became alcoholic when his wife left them alone, he was a lawyer but he doesn’t work. He only receives a pay check from the government and gives a little money to Rusty, unless he had already drunk it.

Correction of..."Something to Believe In.."

Pablo's Post:


Sir Ken Robinson talked about the consciousness of what we should aim for as future teachers: To encourage and to perfect children in order to they can develop themselves in what they really want to achieve. This is a very important thought and also I truly believe in it.

In addition, to make mistakes is something that culturally is not accepted, but If we can put ourselves in a more free position we would realize that it is only a trivial believe. The thing is that mistakes are part of our lives and they are important if we can take the learning of them.

Finally, it is really important to point out what Robinson said about Creativity : This is the potential that all human beings have born with. That is why we have to develop it in order to let children and also people to find what they are looking for in life.

In addition, making mistakes is something that culturally is not accepted, but if we can put ourselves in a worry-free position, we would realize that it is only a trivial belief. Because mistakes are part of our lives and they are so valuable and beneficial when we can really learn from them.
Finally, it is really important to point out what Robinson said about Creativity: This is the potential that all human beings have come to life with. That is why we have to be able to develop our inner creativity in order to help or guide children and also people to find what they are looking for in life.

pAblO trEy's BloG

NicE!!!
Firstly, I was glad to write about Pablo's Blog, since I took extra minutes to go through his posts and some facts I had no idea of. I mean, I did know he liked rock and he played in a band ...but I didn't know he played a "Flying V", so : wow!
Also, when he was talking about the face to face person he'd like to meet and ask a couple of question and he mentioned "Plato", I agree that ""Cave allegory" is SO not a waste of time... I studied it during high school and it was awesome, really interesting. Finally, I think Pablo the "evil mood" guy should try to add a picture of him in his blog because there is some kind of antilope in his profile. And also in the link section its title is " Difficult people to geto on with" ..ha-ha thought that was funny when he is really about the only difficult person in the class. (Just kidding). I'd advice him to change the colours on his blog, because I almost fall asleep in the process of checking it out. :D

Even though the darkness, I must say it was a pleasure reading his posts, very interesting info and things I found out from Pablo.

Change We can Believe In

There are several people I would like to meet as well. The first person that came through my mind was Mario Kreutzberger.
Nevertheless, throughout my visit to the States I was in the middle of all the news about the presidential race. It was full of Democrats and Republicans, touring across the 50 states, campaigning and racing to finally become their parties’ nominee.
Since I watched CNN, among others, most of the time I kept entertained with the debates and controversies of all the candidates. However there is one of the Democrats party candidates that caught my attention and it is wasn’t John Edwards and definitely not Hillary Clinton. That Candidate was Barack Obama, and I would really like to meet him personally. He is very passionate about the race and about what his intentions are, especially of reuniting the country. I didn’t know anything about politics in the United States, but my friend Earl taught and explained a couple, so I’d like to talk about his life and what inspired him to become a president. His studies in Harvard, and how does he remember his college years. I’m quite interested in how does he project himself as the president and what does he think and would like to do with the country’s international affairs. Well, there is a lot I would like to know. I enjoy listening to him since he gives really good speeches. In fact he won a Grammy award for best spoken word album beating his main opponent Hillary Clinton. To conclude, I guess I would take him to the Bay Hill Club to play a tennis match and then take him to Universal’s Pleasure Island to go into the rollercoaster, that way he’d be ready to go on his race and keep rocking in it.

Japanese Learning English

That was an awkward video. I don’t understand how can 3 girls jumping or exercising and saying a couple of words can be a way for them to learn English. I’ve been thinking this over, if it is for women learning English and Japanese women love exercising. Then, repeating phrases while working out can be fun and at least they can remember what they have been saying. Maybe that is the best way for them to build up vocabulary. By repeating new words at the same time they are keeping fi. I really can’t think of anything else. But the video might make Japanese people think English speakers are dangerous…right? Well, "take anything you want"! Ha-ha
