Don Rosendo Maqui

This photograph wasn´t taken for a person. I digitized it with my personal scaner.

We can see

in the imagine, the profile of a native Peruvian with the typical Aymara clothes . As well we can see the beautiful stars shining t

he light over those rocks.

The native, apparently, is Sixty years old. His nostalgic look shows that He is thinking about the history of their community, the difficult history that his village lives .

I don´t know who and neither when the picture was drawn. I know that it is the cover of the novel " El mundo es ancho y ajeno", By Ciro alegría, Peruvian writer. This novel is one of my favorite.

The novel speaks of how landowners steal that land to the indigenous. As well It speaks about the suffering, humillation, penury, and exploitation that the natives breathe every day .

I like this photograph because It materialized the feeling of the serenity, face of adversity and pain. "History is made by the people" It is said.

I recommend this novel because you don´t lose time. Socialize the thought of other cultures and you will learn that the life is not straight.

Festivity

My favorite Festivity is the new year. This festivity is very important because it finishes a cycle and another begins. I celebrate the new year in Valparaiso, main port, as the song says.

I spend this festitvity with many friends. We go to the port hitch hiking in the initation adventure. Our first activity is to find a place where we keep the backpacks.

Then we go to buy drinks and cigars, and finally to arrive a the carnival in the principal square port, called Victoria square.

Last time in the port I enjoyed vey much. I saw, for thirty minutes, fireworks. That was impressive!. Lights everywhere. In that moment I hugged my friends too.

Next new year, I would like to record every time, every fire, every hug, so that I will see my face, our happy faces, and so I would remember every time my happiness when I see the video in my computer.

- What I would like to do I have never done during this festivity.

My favorite piece of technology is the mp3...My current mp3 received in the last Christmas party. My mother gave it to myself because She loves me, and because really I asked her.

I use my mp3 because this piece is very useful for me, because whit it I can to listen all my music in the university, in the street, in the subway, in the bus, etc.

I use my mp3 every day because I am addicted to the folk music, for example I love Victor Jara and Violeta Parra. The music is an important part of mi life.

With the music I relax me and I think in very things too. Without my mp3 I can´t to be near the harmony of the music.

Without this harmony my life would be too much sad. What is the life without music? For me nothing. The life don´t would sence. But as it is a hypothetical case, my life have very sence, for this I am happy.
