Drawing upon humor for change.

This speech is about a cartoonist named Liza Donnelly who thinks that humor is a good way to change things.She realized that she could make people think,  everybody, concerning the compulsory rules which we follow from our birth following our sex.So, the central idea of this speech is the power of the association between women and humor, in order to change some prejudices.
I think it’s easier to pass an idea with a funny cartoon and I totally agree with Liza Donnelly concerning the fact that each of us, since the birth was putting in a category: boys = fights + cars and girls = dolls + cooking. Through Lisa's sketch, people see the rules that they followed all their life, without knowing really why. These rules which Lisa named were established since generations and they govern our lives days after days. I understand and I agree with all that she says but in spite of her humor which shows us the reality, this is not going to change things. Why? Because for a long time we follow these rules and we learnt to live with, in spite of the caricature made, these rules were admitted by everybody and even if we are conscious of it, I think that they are not going to change.
Concerning the humor according to the cultures, it is true that certain rules change. The humor is not accepted everywhere and by everybody, certain persons think as Lisa but cannot laugh in front of this video who can shock others. Certain cultures give more freedom, the others ask for more work or humility, but it is as the humor, that makes certain persons laugh and the other no.

Love charm

Love at  school.

         More and more, we can notice that the children have a lover more and more young. Love at  school represents a kind of affection between children who do not know the exact meaning of the word "love". Children try to get closer some of the others and try to make as their parents. In the video, we see clearly a girl having fun with the young man who seems loving of her. At this age children do not realize the impact that their game can have on the others . This kind of game can amuse someone or hurt  others. It's what we call the "freedom from care" of the children. To compare, we can all say that at school, each of us believed in something stupid but given its age, each of us believed in it sincerely. For example, when I was in the primary school, I believed that the school would never finish and that I was going to stay twenty years in the school with all my companions. I also believed in Santa Claus and in the small mouse. I had a lover, and I believed that we are going to like(love) each other for ever as in the tales which our mothers tell us in the evening.Children, and we, believe in any sorts of things come from fairy tales or simply from our parents. You should not forget that a child reproduces the actions of his parents and that they are their models.

First of all I want to thank you for having welcomed me in your so beautiful house and in your so beautiful country! Everything was more than perfect : the landscapes, all the visits, your cheerfulness and the envy to return visiting the Uk! If I can allow myself, I particularly liked visiting Birmingham, this city of not less than 1 016 800 inhabitants! In spite of a little bit grey weather , this city is very attractive and really quiet. But it is true that Bristol was a very good visit also! There made I believe that I loved everything and that I regret  being brought in in France!

I also wanted to say to you that your friends are fabulous and that it is with big pleasure that I ask you their addresses to write them a letter. I think that an attractive postcard of the Tower Effeil will please them.

Now, at me to make you a proposition: I discovered your country and I wish that you come to visit mine. If you want I am ready to welcome you during two or three weeks in April because I would be on holidays.. I could then show you Paris and its monuments, either go to make you climb on our beautiful mountains of the Alps or simply to show you my Faculty of Grenoble..There are so many things that I would like to show you but I do not want  to reveal everything  for the moment, I keep a few suspenses!

Well, I believe that I said everything to you for the moment. I wait for your answer with impatient, I miss you a lot.

Give my love to your friends and your family.

Love xxx .

Amicie ,your faithful and sincere friend.

The incredible fate of a person handicaped : Gérard Fougerouse.

First of all I want to say that I did'nt find a  Gérard Fougerouse's interview but I decided to speak about him because his ife is a continuation suite of incredible accidents and  in spite of his handicap he kept the taste to live. Here ,is the link of its official site :  http://www.gerard-fougerouse.org/ . A short biography of its life redrawing his accidents:
Gérard Fougerouse was born on June 20th, 1953. In 1969, following an accident of ski, he(it) meets in wheelchair. In 1972, after 3 years of reeducation, he walks with a simple cane. In December, 1972: car accident. Return in the wheelchair! In 1975 after 3 years of reeducation he remarches with crutches. Then in 1979 the third accident: fall of staircases, a cane slid. Definitive goodbye in the position up. Return in the wheelchair.
The first comment which I am going to make is: Waouu, which adversity! Three times he undergoes more or less grave accidents and following every accident he manages to surmount his handicap and to re-walk. His third accident deprived him any luck to be able to re-walk a day and it seems to me that to become handicaped for life is much harder to accept contrary to a born handicapped person.  Moreover, he had had some hope twice and his morale would have been able to be at the lowest.. Nevertheless he has not stopped to believe in his dreams and continuous henceforth to travel worldwide. New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Tahiti, New Zealand, Djakarta, Bali, Bangkok, Prague and finally Geneva. This is the list of all these journeys. After his accident he opened a store and he painted. He didn't  intend to go round the world in spite of his handicap. Even for a person normal, to go round the world is a difficult thing because it is a long journey, but Gérard fougerouse has no renouçé is wanted to prove to everybody that a person handicapped person to make everything as a normal person, and because only the courage makes the strength of a man.
This man is an exceptional person who decided to live normally. His courage has to be an example for us all !

Cool places to hang out in Grenoble :)

Grenoble is a municipality of the southeast of France, former capital of "Dauphiné", capital of the French Alps. It is the main city of the second conglomeration of the region Rhône-Alpes after the city of Lyon.
Grenoble is an active city: Several festivals, in diverse domains, take place in Grenoble. In the musical domain with for example Grenoble Jazz festival which takes place every year in March or the Rocktambulle festival which takes place every year in October.In the film domain with the Festival of the outdoor Short film of Grenoble, Place Holy André who takes place at the beginning of July.But still in performing arts with the Struck Cabaret which takes place the second about fifteen July, in the City garden etc.
 Then, a thing important for me , it is the shopping. In Grenoble there is numerous stores situated for example placeVictor Hugo and even of everywhere in Grenoble. There is even a center reserved for it who is called "Grand Place".
Then, Avenue of Valmy there is the Stadium of the Alps, with the capacity of 20 000 places and considered as one of the most modern stadiums of France.We can also go to spend the afternoon in the ice rink  "South Pole" or go to the Sports center situated in the park Paul-Mistral.
A last place to be visited, the most known in Grenoble, which makes its characteristic: the Bastille which is a strong serviceman of the XIXth century dominating the city. This place is accessible in cable railway by "bubbles", these "bubbles" are known as much as the Bastille itself! There we can visit numerous gardens.
Now you can go everywhere you want in Grenoble and have fun!

My first homework

My name is Amicie Béal and I am 18 year old. I study modern literature at Stendhal university in Grenoble. I really enjoy what I do even if the first month wasn't easy. By leaving the high school we are not really prepared to be totally autonomous current and we have to manage a big freedom. It is a good thing to learn to manage everything but on the other hand this freedom frightened me because it is necessary to urge me deeply to work!
I actually live with my mother in a small house situated next to Bourgoin Jallieu , so I take the train every day. I hope to find a collocation for the next year because the routes every day are too impressive.
Concerning my family , I have a sister who is 23 years old. She lives with her boyfriend and studies the architecture in Lyon. My parents are divorced since my childhood, my mother is a professor of French and my father works in a chocolate factory in Chambéry.
Concerning me , I would like to become a primary school teacher because for me it is important to teach the educational bases to young children and I would like to supervise them to help them to grow. I can not say that I have hobbies because I do not practise a sport, I do not like reading even if that countered strange because of the sector network in which I am. But I like to go to the cinema and go out with my friends and my boyfriend .
 My favorite quote is "Start change in you, what you want to change in other" Gandhi, it is important to feel good to be able to build something with others persons.
The End .
