Kess Continuation...


Billy left the school and started to work as a miner. Apparently, he had lost all his innocence and became the same as the other miners were. People with no dreams whatsoever.

Billy entered a situation which he did not recognize himself and the only important thing now is to go out and drink until getting drunk. This adult working class man started being trouble by his boss and his other partners who laughing at him at the moment of being humiliated.

One day, while he was working at the mines he was told that his mother had suffered a heart attack and she was in her death throes. Billy went to the hospital to see his mother but doctor did not allow him to see her because she had already died a couple of minutes before. He sat down and started to remember her but he did not seem to be suffering because of it but obviously he lamented her death.

That situation made quite an impact on him and he decided to quit his job in order to get away all the chaos he had in his life. He went home and picked up some clothes and left that house that for years was not a pleasant place to be on. He started to walk without stopping and looking back. He knew that it was the moment to left all the suffering in the past and start over a new life...

TTT: Three Tasks Today


Post : Correction Treatment
One of the people that I’d like to meet with or talk to is definitely Plato. I’d like to talk to him because I believe he was such an inspiring model for (We) thinking and knowledge. Also, because(Nn) when I knew him through Philosophy I thought that he was a very intelligent person and I have to recognize that I fell in love with his books and his way of thinking. Although, many people today think that to have studied his thoughts on “the immortality of souls (C) ”, “the(C) Republic”, or the very famous but unknowing (Wf) in meaning “Cave Allegory”, they were a waste of time at all. However, in my personal opinion, his philosophy has been a huge influence in culture and (Sm)way of thinking through history.
Well, I’d like to talk about how he reached that level of thinking. Also, where did he get their(WF) inspiration from and that if he can explain to me what the true meaning behind the Cave Allegory was. Moreover, I’d like to tell (Ww) him about our current lives and our poor (not in general) exercises(Wf) on Spirituality. I think in some way we have lost that part of our lives and that is why I’d like if he could give me some kind of advice in order to see things clearer and maybe enlighten myself.

Error Correction Activities

My opinion in regards to this kind of activity is positive. Although, correction sometimes is not such an interesting thing to do, I think that it has been quite helpful in my learning process. As a consequence, I have improved my awareness at the moment of writing. Furthermore, the work that we have been doing with the U Chile Geography students has been necessary both in order to help me to acquire experience and practice doing corrections and helping them to realize that writing is a slow process and that they are doing a good job in their own posts.

Acupuncture Helps women have babies

The(X) acupuncture (C) helps woman's (Wf) that are with(Ww) treatment for fertility to have a baby.

The(x) woman's(Wf) have more possibilities to be ( Sm)mother if they use the (x) acupuncture us (Ww) a complement. Susan Seenan, of(Ww) infertility network UK, said that anything(Ww) that helps for through(Nn) infertility treatment is(Wt) good news.
