Post 6: Sexism shown in a fiction character that i love


Mulan is a young Chinese woman who dresses as a soldier to replace her father in the war. Throughout the film, she is criticized for behaving differently from the stereotype of a woman of the time, to the point of considering her incapable of having children because she is very thin.
What I liked most about Mulan when I first saw her with my sisters was that she was not the typical female character of the animated films of that time. She was not a princess and did not need to be rescued, on the contrary, she was in charge of fighting the bad guys.
But although the protagonist breaks with sexist stereotypes, the film exposes examples constantly. In one of the songs ( A Girl Worth Fighting For ) the secondary characters, friends of Mulan, describe how their ideal girl should be: good cook, beautiful, affectionate, etc. For that reason I have considered that the film is an attempt to break with the typical but even includes sexisms.

    Mulan is the best: a strong and rebellious woman! She didn't let sexist impositions leave her trapped at home.

Post 10: Evaluation of Blog Experience

Writing the blogs I found entertaining also in some of the topics I had to comment were very interesting as the "Childhood Series" or "The story or a picture" that were my favorites and I enjoyed writing them. I feel satisfied with the experience because unlike English 2, this one seemed much better. In addition to having to make comments to the blogs of our colleagues I think I could know them a little more because despite not sharing so much in the classroom in the blogs I knew their hobbies, outrage or academic interests. What I thought was a way to make the course more educational and closer. With respect to my writing skills, I think I moved forward because I did not dare to write so much in English before and now that I was able to practice, I think it worked. I liked having the challenge of thinking about what to write and the uncertainty of knowing the subject. In addition we did not use a journalistic language like in the other subjects then it felt a l...

Post 8: An Expert on your Field

The person in the photo is Leila Guerriero, Argentine journalist. She was born in the city of Junín and since 1992 she has been a journalist, started as a magazine editor and is now the editor of the Latin American magazine Gatopardo. I consider her an expert in this area because she writes very well and has worked with super important topics. Besides, she does not just look for the immediacy of the news, Leila concentrates on the characters and their stories. He has written several books such as: "The suicides of the end of the world", "The cursed”, among others. And in each one of them stands out the simple way in which he writes the facts and the closeness he generates between the characters and the reader. Leila Guerriero also stands out for her articles she has written profiles about characters like Nicanor Parra. She like  a woman, is a reference for the journalism because which makes her one of the most important female figures of journalism in Spanish.
