Hello classmates and teacher! Today I’m going to talk about what I want to do in my future when I finish my career. Normally, the people who study sociology knows the workplace of a sociologist and knows what they want to do with their job title. That is not my case. When I started study sociology, I really didn’t know anything about the jobs related to the career. I decided study sociology because I like the idea of “study the society”, but at that time, my knowing about the career wasn’t much. Now I have a better idea of what is the job of a sociologist and I realise that my place in this area are the research and the projects. I hate de idea of being working in an office, I want to travel to different places and make projects that improve the quality of life of the people. I have a teacher that always told us the jobs that he made when he ended the career. He told that he travel to the all country visiting different cities and towns and working with the people of that places. I want to do something similar, I really like the idea of work with the people who needs of you and prepare projects together.

Hello everybody! Today I’m going to talk about my favourite authors and books. Since I remember, reading was one of my hobbies. When I was little, I read the entire Harry Potter saga. But now that kind of literature is not more of my interest. When I started growing my interest change and I started reading other kind of novels. I don’t know how to describe this type of literature, but the stories have another sense, something more philosophical and transcendental. This is the kind of books that I like. One of my favourite author is Herman Hesse, he is a German writer that wrote novels and poetry. My favourite titles of Hesse are “The Steppenwolf” and “Demian”. This two books really change my way of understanding life.  Other author that I really like is Julio Cortázar, he was an Argentine writer who have a lot of poems, stories and novels. His masterpiece is “Rayuela” and is one of my favourites. You really feel the emotion of Horacio (the principal character) like you were he. Other thing that I like from “Rayuela” is that you can read it in disorder, it doesn’t matter the order of the subtitle.  Other Costázar’s title that I like is “Bestario”, an anthology of a few of his stories. I like the surrealism of this stories.
