Halloween Today is a special date! Is Halloween! Time to use your better costume and scare the people. Halloween is an annual celebration who actually consist principally in go out with a costume who scare and the kids ask for candies. But this date has a story, a beginning and are many options coming from different places in the world.  Today I will talk about the ''witch hunting''.  This phenomenon was characteristic of Europe and consisted of the massive chase of women accused of witches for the church and the ''civil justice''. The witches were women who have control of natality, her sexuality, and knowledge about abortive methods and principally owner of her bodies. In that epoch, the country has in a period of transition to capitalism, and for that, the industry needs a workforce and Europe passed for a diminution of the population because of the black plague.

When I was in school I enjoyed the art class. I wait all weekend to have this class.  My teacher was really funny and an eccentric person, he called Felipe Salas and I remember him with so much care. He was unique because he always was doing things to entertain us and for that the class never being boring. He learned us to work with different materials but he never being restrictive with us and with the things we made, quite the opposite, he wanted to his classmates growing his talents and his creativity.

He also teaches us about history and periods of art, I would have liked it would be more but for the time of the class, it wasn't possible.

The Fiestas Patrias is not really my favorite holiday, because I dont like the traditions like rodeo or cueca but not for that I don't celebrate. This year was different than others, it was my first year without eating meat, so I have to search other alternatives for food, other places to hang out because fondas are not really my style. I go to a party at a friend house and we drink ''terremotos'', a typical drink for this holiday. Also, I go to a vegan festival that was going to be on that date.  Other years I go with my family to fondas and typical celebrations, this year I spend time with them but we don't go to any party. They realize a roast and I roast my veggies.  I use my time to rest because I was really exhausted with the exigence of the college. I had a good time after all. 

   My name is Dayaneth I'm 18 years old. I have lived in Santiago all my life. I'm learning English but I like to learn French or Italian. I like taking pictures, drawing and enjoy the nature and the animals. I'm more artistic than athletic. I like to walk in nature or in the city and find new things every day. I don't practice any sport but I like to learn air acrobatics on the netting. I like fashion and design clothes and accessories. I love animals and I think we are responsible for them and we have to protect them, I'm veggie since a time and I want to do more. My favorite pastime is being with my puppy watching movies and drinking some tea. Currently, I'm studying Architecture, I'm in the first year and for the moment I like the career but sometimes is very demanding so I don't have so much time. I hope to finish it and find an area to perform me.
