The Problem We All Live With

    The painting,  The Problem We All Live With. Was commemorated by Norman Rockwell on November 14 1960.  In this painting they were commemorating  the day that Ruby Bridges went to her first day of school in a school of white people. There was a lot of controversy and people didn´t wanting Ruby to be there but she finally made it through with courage and a lot of security.

  When I first saw the painting I thought something totally different. I thought that maybe   she was and important person followed by bodyguards to protect her.  Now, that I know the story I can understand that it was a memorable time in history when a black girl went to a school for whites for the first time.

  Now that I understood what It was, I could see a lot of new details like:  the graffiti drew on the wall behind her there is KKK that means Kukus Klan, and Nigger. When she was walking they threw things at her ,so in the wall you can see a tomato.

  The artist intention is to always remember this memorable moment and you to discover the little details  that he drew.

  In this painting I see everything perfect.  When I see it I can totally picture it on my mind.

OWNER

   We tried to find his owner, and we finally did. When we talked to her, she told us that she only had the dog for an hour before the accident.  That they had just gave it to her.  We asked her if she wanted to still keep the dog  and she told us that she was going to think about it, so we are waiting for her call.


LUCKY



  Monday night, everything fine.  We were just coming home from shopping when soddenly my dad decides to turn off the radio and pull-down the window . We heard something. We looked everywhere until we saw it was a dog been crash by a car. We all started screaming and I started crying .Since we all are animal lovers, as quick as my dad could he pulled the car over and grabbed the little dog an handed it to me.  He was all-nervous but as soon as I hugged him in my arms he became calm like if he knew we were going to save him . He began bleeding through his mouth but I cleaned it up and hugged him tight in my arms.  Finally ,we found a vet and  we  told him the story and they began to check him out. They told us he had a ship ,so that made us happy, but soon they told us that the ship  was empty . They told us that everything was all right that he only had some fractures so they were going to have him over the night. After thinking how lucky he was by so many things we name him lucky. After he gets better we are going to take him home with us and make him part of the family.

SANDIA


   today we are going to have lunch with a friend of ours.  We are going to a really good place name "Sandia" where  they serve Mexican food. I like Mexican food  a lot  because is really spicy and that’s how I like my food.

TIRED

  We haven’t done   anything since I got to los angels.  We have gone to some places but basically we are really tired so we have rest allot.

NEW YEAR


 Wow its new year! This year went so fast that I cant believe it! To celebrate it, we will have dinner at a restaurant. Today we tried to ski but it was too windy so we had to go because it was really dangerous.

THE SNOW

  Almost getting use to because my body does not hurter like the first couple days. Yesterday was the worse night! The fire alarm started ringing and we had to abecacuate at 4am! Obviously today we were super tired and we didn’t ski as much but we had fun.
