My Favourite Book and Film


Hello people, today I going to write you about my favourite book and film.
When I was 13 years old I read my first book for pleasure which was Harry Potter and Philosopher´s Stone, then continue with the all saga, and of course I saw all the movies, even I have my collection of Harry Potter objects…yes! I´m a Potterhead! But although I´m a fan of this saga, my favourite book is pride and prejudice and my favourite film is Belle.

The first time I read Pride and Prejudice (written by wonderful Jane Austen) I was 15 years old, and I read it because it is almost a family tradition…only of women obviously since it is romantic novel, which tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet who learns the error of making hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between the superficial and the essential, all this he learns when he realizes that he is in love with the perfect Mr.Darcy, who was a rich and powerful man with a lot of pride , who did not want to fall in love with a poor woman like Elizabeth and less to have a kinship with her family. This book is not just a romantic story, but it tells you about an empowered woman in a time where women were despised.

On the other hand , my favourite film is Belle (yes! I really like the stories of another time) tells the story of Dido Belle who was born in the West Indies and was the illegitimate mixed race daughter of Sir Jhon Lindsay who leaves her to the care of her uncles.

The fictional film centres on Dido relationship whit and aspiring lawyer the Sir Davinier it is set at a time of legal significance, as a court case is heard on what became know as the Zong Massacre, when slaves were thrown overboard from a slave ship. You have to see this film because it shows you how a woman mixed race must face the discrimination of society, a strong woman who learned to accept her origins even when everyone told her that it was as abomination.

My Concerts

Throughout my life I have been to many concerts the first was the Jonas Brothers when I was 13 years old, then I went to see one of my favourite bands paramore in 2011 in the "espacio riesco" and 2013 in the "movistar arena" they were one of the best concerts I´ve ever been in my life!...I remember being left speechless for shouting so much!
I also went to see Bruno Mars and Imagine Dragons with my best friend both in the "movistar arena" and Ed Sheeran in the "pista atletica" with another friend.


However, my best concerts have been Tears For Fears in 2011 and Silvio Rodriguez in 2018, to which I have gone with my mom in the “movistar arena”. The atmosphere of both concerts was very quiet, the music spectacular and the best thing is that nobody pushed us.


My best memory is with the British rock band of the 80s Tears For Fears, we had waited all the concert with my mom for the group to sing "Woman in Chains", and in the end they did it, I remember we held hands and sang to all lungs that beautiful song.
Even though I have gone to many concerts throughout my life, I still have many more to go! it is something that is enjoyed too much since the music is simply magical.
