I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man

[Verse 1:]
I believe every lie that I ever told
Paid for every heart that I ever stole
I played my cards and I didn't fold
Well it ain't that hard when you got soul (this is my world)
Somewhere I heard that life is a test
I been through the worst but I still give my best
God made my mold different from the rest
Then he broke that mold so I know I'm blessed (this is my world)

Won't hide my tail or turn and run

[Verse 2:]
I got all the answers to your questions
I'll be the teacher you can be the lesson
I'll be the preacher you be the confession
I'll be the quick relief to all your stressin' (this is my world)
It's a thin line between love and hate
Is you really real or is you really fake
I'm a soldier standing on my feet
No surrender and I won't retreat (this is my world)

Aloe Blacc say in this  song that he is the man and all he is it's perfect. God make him and he is the teacher of who. He recive a lot of respect of people. He is the man and everybody must know it and he demostrate it.
This song makes me feel big, important and happy. It motivates me a lot and every time I listen this song I do things with aother way and mentality.

MY BEST EXPERIENCE IN BERLIN

One of the best experiences I had in Berlin was the last day in the morning when my friends and I went up to the highest tower in Berlin. The telecommunications tower Fernsehturm. It measures 368 meters high and is a symbol and a landmark building in East Germany. It was built in 1969. From above you can see all Berlin from the air and distinguish the different parts and the most important buildings or monuments.
There we can took a lot of fotos and enjoy the spectacular views.We could walk arround of all the sphere and saw Berlin to 360º. We spent a half hour in the viewpoint at 204 meters hight. It was so awesome and exiting. I'll never forget this amazing experience in Berlin.

Reflect about the film and the book

1. SETTING: In the book the story happened in the italian village called Verona, in 15th cenury. And the new version represented on a film succeded in Verona Beach, in 21th century. They where in the modern city.
2.. IMAGERY: In the film the water symbolize the calm, relaxed situation without tension (beach), intimate moment between Romeo and Juliet (swimming pool and aquarium), and the end of the bad charecters (when it begins to rain). The fire symbolize the begining of battels between Capulets and Montaguers and the tragedy and the dead coming up. When the story happened in the day all was  more dangerous and unpredictable and unsafe.
In the night there was the moon, in this situation the environment was relaxed, calm and warm. Romeo and Juliet were thinking about them or they were together. 
3.. LANGUAGE. In the film all the charecters told in verse and in prose, but Romeo, Juliet and the Friar were who told more in verse. The narrator was the woman news reporte.  In the book all the charecters told in verse avery time. The narrator was a tird person who explain the story. He didn't appear in all the story.
4. THE FANCY DRESS PARTY. Romeo dressed up a knight armor, it means that he was a loyal, brave, and polite person. Juliet dressed up like an angel and it means taht she was very beautiful and pretty girl and she was so good.
5. ELEMENTS. In the film the chaectes used guns and cars but in the book Romeo and Tybalt and the other charecters used swords and helmets and armors.

A Great Big World - Say something

A Great Big World - Say something
Say something
I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one
If you want me to
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something
I'm giving up on you
And I, I'm feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something
I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something
I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something
I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere I would have followed you
Oh, say something
I'm giving up on you
Say something
I'm giving up on you
Say something
A Great Big World - Say something
Di algo,
estoy perdiendo la fe en ti
Seré el hombre de tu vida,
si quieres que lo sea.
A cualquier sitio, te hubiera seguido,
di algo,
estoy perdiendo la fe en ti (me estoy rindiendo contigo).
Y yo, yo me siento tan pequeño,
no lo entendía,
no sé nada de nada.
Y me tropezaré y me caeré,
todavía estoy aprendiendo a amar,
estoy solo empezando a gatear.
Di algo,
estoy perdiendo la fe en ti.
Lo siento por no poder llegar hasta ti,
a cualquier sitio, te hubiera seguido,
di algo,
estoy perdiendo la fe en ti.
Y me tragaré mi orgullo,
tú eres a la que quiero,
y estoy diciendo adiós.
Di algo,
estoy perdiendo la fe en ti.
Lo siento por no poder llegar hasta ti,
a cualquier sitio, te hubiera seguido,
di algo,
estoy perdiendo la fe en ti.
Di algo,
estoy perdiendo la fe en ti.
Di algo.
