The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games

This film is based on Suzanne Collins’ novel, published in 2009 and set in North America having a box office success. Actually, that film (plus all the saga) received a lot of nominations, including  the Oscars’ awards, winning some of them. The main actress is Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss and Josh Hutcherson playing Peeta.

Some years after the dissapearance of the EEUU (as we know them today), there is a new state called Panem plus other 12 distrits. Every year one girl and one boy, whose ages range from 12 to 18, are elected by each distrit. The 24 travel to Panem where they have to fight to death whereas all the population watch their struggle live on T.V. Only one of the 24 can survive.

Broadly speaking, the characters are well developed. Jennifer Lawrence is pretty strong and believable. Josh Hutcherson has to be weak and dull sometimes for the story, although he is likeable. Not only is the acting natural but it is also powerful sometimes. The plot is thrilling and completely absorbing. Moreover,  the script is quite compelling, well-written and pretty imaginative. Futhermore, the relationship between all the elected and the reactions of the inhabitants of Panem is extremely thought- provoking. The special effects are staggering. The photography is absolutely incredible.

To sum up and from my point of view, it is a really good an memorable film. The type of film is not only for the youth and it is well worth seeing. I would throroughtly recommend it without any doubt.

Trip to Zanzibar

This is our resort in Zanzíbar, where we are going for Easter. It is called Meliá Zanzíbar, and it is on the main city of the island, which is Zanzíbar city. We are going to flight from Madrid to Tanzania, where we will change planes to finally get to Zanzíbar. The resort is a luxury resort, near the beach and it is all included. With regard to the activities, we can practise snorkelling, scooba-diving, parachuting and so on. Moreover, we are going to collect minerals, plants and, of course, spices from that place (Zanzíbar is a great importer of all kind of spices). Futhermore, we´ll visit Stone Town, which is plenty of different monuments and beautiful, incredible and stunning streets. In order to improve our English and learn another language, we are going to join to the resort activities and help the tourists what they need.

Difference between tourist and traveller

I think there is a little difference between a tourist and a traveller. A tourist only see and enjoy the more knowledged places of a country or a city. He or she only goes for a touristic places. In contrast, a traveller enjoys travelling wherever. Not only does he master the monuments or the stunning places of a country, but he or she also knows about other places which are lost and you have to looking for them. Both are different ways to travel.

Canadá

It is Canadá one of my favourite countries I´d like to visit. Not only is it a country with superb, riveting and uplifting landscapes, which are entirely out of the blue, but Canadá also has a lot of great, incredibly and superb cities like Montreal, Quebec, Toronto, Otawa and so on. Futhermore, I can improve my English visiting the English- speakers part. Taking all of this into consideration,  I think Canadá is a country which worth seeing.
