A little bit of literature

Today I'd like to tell you a little bit about a work of the Spanish poet and playwright, Federico García Lorca. He was born on 5th June 1898 in Fuente Vaqueros and died on 19th August 1936 (García Lorca was executed). He was a member of The Generation of '27: a group of poets who dedicated to work with avant - garde forms of poetry and arts.

To tell you the truth, a women's issue is really current in the literature but this poet invites us to get to know a woman's soul. In my opinion, Lorca is one of the most well - known authors who plucked up the courage to present a detailed analysys of woman's spirit. 

I don't want to write a summary of Lorca's dramas because I would like to encourage you to delve into his work.

His famous play, The House of Bernarda Alba, is one of so called Andalusian dramas and presents the portraits of women oppressed by a patriarchal society. Unfortunatelly, the division of roles which fulfil women and men are completely different. She is obliged to bring up the children and do the housework. He provides for his family and has advantages over his wife.

The book's main characters doesn't agree to live in the shadow of men.They rebel against the prevailing norms and fight for the right to freedom and greater privileges. Their fierce struggle for independence doesn't bring results. Lorca's women aren't be trated as equal to men but they don't give up.

Work, work, work...

    Recently I have met with my friends and we have had a really good time. By the way, something comes to my mind: we are currently dedicating less and less time for our inmediate family and close friends. It’s pretty sad: unfortunately we are completely absorbing in our work and preoccuping with our own problems. Many people live on the run every day: it’s not good.                                                            In my point of view, we are under pressure from society. We should not forget important things in our life such as family, health (both mental and physical) and interests. If we concentrate on our work, we can lose control and all sense of time. Nowadays, people is tending to focus on make a brilliant career as well as make a bundle. And what about you? Do you devote enough time to your family?

Stay smiling!

It’s autumn, my dears. Most people associate this season with deep sorrow and the crushing dullness of it all. But, what about our enjoyment of living? What happend to smile and sense of humor? I think that laughter is the best medicine for everything, full stop.                                                      

Manyespecialist argue that good mood helps us with combat despondency and tension. Furthermore, we attribute to smile a lot of merits.               

                                                                  

Recent studies show that we laugh in various situations: even if we lose our job or we experience a lot of problems with something. The fact of the matter is that smiling affect us: releases endorphins in our body, changing our mood. In my opinion, we should take matters in our stride and keep our distance.        

If you don't know what a sense of humor is, you probably don't have one. This his a big problem. To say that it's an ability to see the funny side of everything, for instance death, people and yourself, in my view, it's an understatement. It cannot be learned: a sense of humor is a kind of sensibility about things. You develop it or you don't.
