My Mother

Two years ago, before summer, my mother had a sickness.

This sickness is chronic, and it is called “Crohn”. This affects the stomach, when my mother eats, she has a very strong pain.

This sickness has changed the life of the family because it is very difficult to find the medicines. This causes that my mother has to go frequently to hospital. She is the basis of the family. When my mother was in hospital, me, my father and my brother were in charge of the chores. When the doctor changes the medicines for my mother, first she feels good but later she is bad. The last medicine suits her bad. And the third suits her very good and it’s the medicine that she uses now.

The Amish

Hi bloggers!  Do you know who the Amish are? I will explain.

The Amish community is a group of people who stay separate from the world, and have their own language. They live in various parts of the world, and are known for their simple living, plain dress and reluctance to adopt modern technology.

The Amish are baptized as adults, but before that they are given permission to explore life outside their community to decide if they want to be part of this community. This "ritual" is called Amish Rumspringa and it is held at the age of 16. Unlike what you see in the movies, these teenagers typically explore simple things like going to the cinema or using electronic devices. Very few have decided to leave the community.

Amish women do not have the same right as Amish men. They must first consider the Church, the community and the family. Women must still follow the rules of their fathers and when married they have to be submissive to their husbands.

Amish women wear their hair long, and have a cloth covering their head. They also wear clothes with long sleeves and long skirts. Jewelry and make-up is banned.

Education for children in Amish communities is in the schools created by the community. They offer an education until they are teenagers. From this age men learn a profession, but women receive home instruction.

Vikings, a TV series

Vikings is a TV show based on the legends of a  Viking called Ragnar Lodbrok, one of the most famous heroes of Nordic culture that raided Northumbria, France and Britain. The series portrays Lodbrok as curious warrior and navigator, technologically innovative, ambitious and rebellious. He builds a boat with his friend Floki, to travel and explore the territories of Western Scandinavia, disobeying the tribal Chief. Count Haraldson, who ordered them travel towards the poorer countries to raid them, is killed by Lodbrok because he doesn’t want to obey Haraldson.  Lodbrok doesn’t want to go to the north because all the Vikings have always used that route and he wants to discover somewhere new.
