Blog visited: http://howareyoudoingenglishclass.blogspot.com/ (by Daniela Soto)
I think that Daniela Soto’s blog is very good. I like her post about the website called “la cuerda”, because I think that it’s a great place to get chords and lyrics of my favourite songs. In fact, I also knew this site since a few years, and I really enjoy it. The work of art selected by her was OK, not bad but not spectacular either. But what called my attention in that post was her studies trip to France, that must have been a spectacular experience shared with her classmates. The post about the archaeological site of Monte Verde is very interesting, because the finding of that site refutes the theory of the occupation of America. What I didn’t like about her blog is the design of the background, which is very ugly.
The strengths of her blog are the interesting content of the posts, and also the good redaction. She has a very good way of express her ideas; I think that is a very important hability no matter what language could be used. The main weakness is that is the aesthetic of her blog: I don’t like the way that it looks, neither the colours nor the design.

Assignment 3
Klimt, the kiss
This is probably the most popular piece of art by Gustav Klimt, but then again this is probably because of something. It has this resemblance to paintings of Virgin Mary and baby Jesus in the shape and position of the subjects on the painting and in the choice of colors, but it depicts a profane act like kissing. However it is one of the most innocent, pure and at the same time sensual kisses depicted in art between couples, it is probably Klimt’s master piece, it has all the elements that can characterizes his paintings.
The first time I saw it was on a poster my oldest cousin brought to my place. She wanted to sow my mother what she was going to do for her new art project and how this particular painting had influenced her. I looked at it for a while and realized this was probably one of my favorite painters ever, the details on their clothing and how they seemed to transform into flowers was probably what stroked me the most.

Assignment 2
Neanderthals Took Hunt for Food to the Sea
New findings suggest Neanderthals where seafood eaters.
While doing excavations in Gibraltar, paleontologists found what appeared to be evidence supporting that Neanderthals ate mollusks, fish and marine mammals more than 30,000 years ago. The caves suggest there were at least three periods of use from the Neanderthals, and most bones were from immature mammals
A group of Spanish and English scientists of National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid and the Natural History Museum in London respectively identified the remains and reported them in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Some bones had stone carvings stating that tools where used and a precarious oven was found, evidence shows it was not used for cooking, but for preparing the skins of the sea mammals.
