To vote or not to vote

Hello everybody, today i'm going to talk about Sunday elections.

My position about Sunday election is that everybody should vote. I think the voluntary vote is not a very good idea, is more comfortable, but I believe that is your obligation as a citizen. 

I don't like neither of the politicians and I understand people who don't want to vote this Sunday because they don't represent them, I think they don't represent me either, I think that the only that they want is power and they don't really care about people.

When you don't vote is like you don't care about, is like that you approve them and don't mind what they are doing. Also when you don´t go to vote you help the conservative parties, because they always vote for defend its interest.

If we don´t vote, the same people as always will be in power, in municipalities like Ñuñoa (where I live and vote) we have had the same mayor for more than twelve years, and we can see the same situation in Providencia, the political positions are not renewed.

Anyway, I think the big problem is that the people don't trust the politicians, we have seen all dirty things that the politicians do, and they are still in charge because there is nobody new in the political world.

However I believe that even if I had new people in political positions, would not help much because few of them resist the corruption that power brings.

Hobbies.

 

Today i'm going to talk about one of my hobbies. Since I was a little girl, I have always liked to read books. At first it was my mother who read me the stories, but then I started to read the same stories that my mother read to me.

 

I think one of the first book I read was Papelucho, and then of course, I read the whole collection. Then I started to read Harry Potter, The chronicles of Narnia, Oscar Wilde's Stories, Horacio Quiroga' stories, Greek mythology,and a lot more. I read all this books a lot of times.

 

Then when I grew up I started to read longer novels, I will mention the most important novels for me.

When I was 13 years old, I read The Catcher in the Rye of J.D. Salinger. I love this book, I have read it three times and still surprises me. It's about a 17 years old boy named Holden Caulfield, who spent three days alone in New York, and he talks about the falsity of the adult world, how they always are keeping the appearances. He is worried about leave the children's world and enter to the adult's world.

 

Another important book to me is 1984 of George Orwell, it's about a man who lives in some kind of dystopia, this book it's very pesimistic and give no hope for humanity, but I found it great.

 

I could talk about books a lot of time, but for now I will mention only this.
