What was the last movie that make you laught,cry or think? Give a brief and your opinion.

The last movie I saw is called Lion for Lamb. It's about Afghanistan War, 2001-present. Has three main personas, a teacher, a senator and a journalist. The senator give to the journalist an exclusive about a new military strategy that started in the same time of the interview. Parallel the teacher who is talking with a student about his absence.
Throught the plot, senador and journalist discuss the possibles disagreements between citizens and government. The senator's idea to give her an exclusive is get support of all the nation. On the other hand, the nation is disagreement with the Afghanistan War. The senator say in the past we, the government, did colosus mistakes,but he has done Whatever it takes!.
In the new strategy, two young student whom was encourage for the teacher to change their life are voluntier soldiers in Afghanistan war. The teacher who never encourage them join into the army. Giving this example to the student who has a special talent, but his regular absence could affect his grades.
In less two hour, few young men survive compling with the new strategywhile the student is watching the news, is thinking. What? Could he decide join to the army,too???

This movie made me burst into tears. Atfer I cry, I think how many families have cried thier eyes out for years. It's very sad know how the government use the younger people to fight a war that the goal is to avoid futures attacks and more die. However, the government send a lot of soldiers; how may of them die. The most ironic thing is men and women die are not american, or they was born here,U.S, and their parents are illigal or resident. Many of them lived in towns where are very violent. Whereas they give their life trying to find a solution from the country. The country go for the same alley, without any direction.
I remember when I was in New York some militars went to Latin neighborhoods high schools looking for new 'voluntiers'. This situation will never finish!

What kind of animal would you like to be?

Well...well...If I think in the answer is essay, big cats. I think in two animals one is real, the other is not, is a animated cartoon. I'm talking about Tigers. I like use them to describe my-self. The tiger has 3 characteristics: it lives alone, it uses camouflage and it is shy. It appears in society only for necessity, that sometimes happen to me, I enjoy stay alone. The not real one is funny and lovely. When one of his friend is in trouble he tries to do his best.
Recently, I've received a e-mail that my best friend sent me, It's about zodiac Maya, that say I'm a cat also in zodiac maya. It was fun to read the characteristics of the jaguar, it's difficult to hunt, but it is a good hunter. Both Tiger and Jaguar are predator and live in a forest.
This analogy explains how I am. I prefer living alone. I use these characteristics to protect my-self, living in a city as a forest. I observe as depredator to hunt my friends. What kind of animal you are? May be, I can hunt you.

ME

My name is Yamileth. I was born in San Jose, Costa Rica. I grew up in La Union, Cartago which was the first capital and now it is the third province in my country. My mother is homemaker. She is a widow. My father died one year ago. I have been in New York when my father passed away. I talked with him three days before he has gone to the hospital to get some phisical exams, because he was diabetic. Five days later, my family called me and gave me the bad news. Sometimes, I want talk with him and remember it is not possible. I miss him. I have a bother, who is eight years older than I. He is married and has two children a son,16, and a daughter,8.
I attended elementary school and high school in my hometown. I graduated in Architecture four years ago. A year later, I came to U.S., so I do not have enough experience in my major because I worked only five months in an architecture office. I have been in United States for two years and eight months. I lived in New York for two and half years,and have started study English there. I attended American Language Communitation Center for two years and five months.
Last year, I decided to move to Seattle because my friend advased me to come here to learn more, practice and improve my English skills. I have a lot of problems with my listening, pronunciation and writing. Of course, I understand 70% more than I've started, but it is not enough.
In the future, I do not have a clear idea what I want to do, but if I can to stay in the U.S. I would like to study Sign Language or Interior Desing.If not, I might go to Chile to get my master degree, or go to Brazil and learn a little Portuguese.
Definitively, I think, I will be ready to go back home.
