My Autobiography
My name is Eder. My height is 1.77 mts. I have a dog that I
love so much. I can not pass an entire day without drinking soda, I suffer from
insomnia and sometimes I'm half stubborn. I've never been in jail but I was
close to be. I'm black hair, and a
little bit stingy. I keep my tidy neat and I get bored on Christmas Eve. I can
say that I am of few friends. I hate bad faces and I suspect smiles. My right
eyebrow is cut off and people say I'm good even if I'm not baptized. I love the
fire even if the fire burns me. I sleep on my stomach and always in pajamas. I
do not wear a jacket or tie, and I do not like protocol. I enjoy good company
but I can take care of myself. I am not alcoholic,
but sometimes I get drunk with phrases. I do not make plans, I improvise for
that reason I do not brake. For me, the one that wants light blue, better mixes
blue and white. I have several addictions and I take care of them. But I do not
accept if you try to teach me. I want to choose which poison to poison me with.
I already learned to falsify my smile. I already changed my
bed, I made comedy, I made drama. I was already ethical and I was erratic, I
was skeptical and I was fanatic.
I was against and I was in favor. What gave me pleasure now gives me pain. And With
the entire world I am at hand since I do not play, I neither lose nor win. I do
not have much or I have little As I do not think I'm not mistaken. And as goals
I do not draw I do not know what a failure is. Joy and sadness is the same for
me That I do not care to feel Because in the angle of life I have decided to be
the bisector. But I'm not so complicated to run away or stay here in silence. But
I am not so simple to warn that there are not a hundred words that can define
me.
That relating to myself, in literature: I am a person who
does not like to read books or literal works in general. But I really enjoy
poetry. Especially the one that is full of nostalgia, some feeling of sadness. To
mention some authors, I like to read and try to understand Benedetti, Machado,
Neruda, Garcia Marquez. At the time of writing, I love using literary figures
such as ambiguity, hyperbole, antithesis, irony, and paradox.
Talking about the bookss we read the last semester, the one
that liked the most whas Oliver Twist. I liked because it present a complete
new way of seeing the world: through the eyes of an orphan.
In this case, Oliver Twist amazed me in different ways. I
didn’t expect this
story: heart-breaking at the beginning, recovering at the
end.
Oliver Twist is a good young boy. He is sweet, innocent and
he has purest heart
of all. However, the people who treat him are miserable and
hit and insult him
just because they are mean and criminal. When you read about
these kinds of
persons, you feel sorry for Oliver as he is just a poor boy
trying to find a
place in this world. But you also feel sorry for the bad ones:
they are as bad
as that because the society makes them bad. It’s not their
fault.
My favourite character of the novel was Nancy. She is a
prostitute, a young girl who hasn’t had an easy life
but she is sweet and her sacrifice helps Oliver. She
protects him until the
end, with her bravery and she can’t betray the horrible man
she loves. I also
liked Rose, who is a great girl and offers help for Nancy.
However, she can’t
leave her man alone.
The rhythm of the book is paused, calm but it’s incredible:
you can imagine
everything in your mind and, then, even if you’ve seen the
movie, you discover
new things that you didn’t know about the original story.
I recommend this book to everyone who likes England and who
wants to learn
about these cruel years. It is such a hard book but
necessary to understand
how lucky we are now and how much we have to fight to stop
unfairness in our
