Wartime letters assignment

Dear boyfriend,

I've been missing you a lot lately. When I volunteered as a nurse for the war, I expected to see rough things, but I definitely didn't expect to see what really is going on. I need you by my side, and I know that you are going through a hard time fighting the war yourself so please take care because I can't even bear the thought of losing you too. 
Everyday I get to see awful things, more wounded soldiers, more death and suffering and I honestly don't think i can't do it anymore. The only thing holding me together is the though of the war ending and you and I finally getting back together and living the life we always planned to have. 
I'm staying here even though it is really hard because I know that they need me and I refuse to let people suffer even more just because I'm weak. No. I will get through this and I will help as many as I can because I know that's what our country needs and because you are also doing everything you can for the country and for me.
I love you so much and I can't wait to see you again, please please take good care of yourself and write often because your letters are the only thing that brings me joy these days.
Forever yours, 
Maria Jose.

Upstairs downstairs assignment

UPSTAIRS, DOWNSTAIRS.

For this assignment I had to watch a chapter of a TV series called "Upstairs, downstairs" which makes reference to the old Britain, when there were servants and upper class people. This show is about the Bellamy family, who lived upstairs, and their servants, who lived downstairs. 

Despite of being servants, they get a really good treatment, the bellamys respected them and gave them saturday afternoon's off. 

In this chapter, the King was supposed to be coming to the Bellamy's house to have a dinner party; everyone got very excited and was trying to do as much as possible to have this dinner be completely perfect. 

But there's obviously a problem: Sarah, a maid, goes into labor making things a little difficult to keep under control.

This TV series portrays the families in Britain during the 1920 or so and the different lifestyles. 

Modernism in the arts assignment

MODERNISM IN THE ARTS

Claude Monet- Impression: Sunrise

This is an impressionist painting, which is used when the painter wants to express his own feelings, this painting is considered one of monet's most poetic expressions. I really like Monet's technique because I personally fond it very beautiful even though it is hard to understand since it comes from his own point of view and his own thoughts. 

Piet Mondrian - Composition with Yellow, Red, and Blue

This technique is called cubism, this painter did the same exact same thing in many different paintings: just lines and not a very wide variety of colors. I honestly do not understand art at all, because how come beautiful things do not get recognition and the things that are not special at all do? Sometimes I feel that art is sort of like society, it is not appreciated for what it is, but for what it is worth, but you know. Whatever. Cubism is not one of my favorite kind of expression of the arts. 

Charles Ives - The Fourth of July

This is a song that was created during modernism to express the patriotism that the americans had back then; it expresses freedom and the love that they had for they country and why it was important to celebrate their independence which is what this song is mainly about:4th of july, the independence day.
