Mr. Alexander
Greetings Mr. Alexander, I hope that all your work will be in a right way. A few days ago I finished to read your book “a day in the life of Ivan denisobich”, that I think that is my favorite book that I read this year. I think this is a great history that involves action, angry and how is the life of a prisoner in a jail in Moscow. This history combine real places and the personification and the language of the characters introduce you like in the real life and make better the plot. But I have to say that I dislike the final of the book, this is because the way that you finish the book is different that I expected. I think that Ivan will scape from the jail and will return with their family, but then I analyze that the title of the book is “a day” not “the great escape of Ivan” so I think that the story is according to the title, but despite this the book is very a good and emotive.
I need to say that the way that you give the personification of all the characters is excellent also the different treatment of the prisoners and the police officers its very good because this introduce you in the story like in the real life. Also, another thing that I like about the book is how you describe the natural places or the area that surround the characters. For example you mention how the ice and the snow cover the buildings, the barbed wire surrounding the prison etc. gives you a visual representation and feel that you are in jail with the coolest weather. Also you make this with all the things that Ivan see, for example you describes the food that give to the prisoners or the different tools that Ivan use to resolve their problems
So for me this book have an awesome story with action because this book its like your autobiography. I think that you combine this kind of things with different aspects of the story that make him a character that give examples of how to work in group and the real friends never be separated. Thanks for reading this letter of what I think about of your book, I hope you answer me if you read my letter.
Kindly: Juan Carlos Velásquez

Can money buy happiness?
Everyone in the world have dreamed of having a lot of money, having a lot of money is not a bad, the bad thing of the money is what you made for to get all them and the money never give you real friends in your life. Money can change the life of all the people easier but there are many rich people that have every thing that they want but are not happy. Some people are rich and have a lot of money because they're people who work hard to get it, also its people who love their work; it is studied and knows his stuff. But there are other people trying to improve their lives and their happiness with dirty money. For example, bank robbery, drug trafficking and money laundering.
When somebody make a robbery or is a drug dealer are not happy at all because they know that what they do is a big crime and also a sin. This people have everything that you they want for example girls, mansions, exclusive cars etc. and their life is like a move, they go to parties, VIP clubs etc. but they aren’t happy. Happiness is something that is difficult to reach from the interior of the people. You can have a lot of money and material things but it can be meaningless because many things that we can reach with the money are cause of the vanity. Also it can be for society pressure and what the people will say of them.
Also whit the amount of money that you have you will never get real friend never have friends who appreciate you for who you are not what they you have. For example when you have a lot of money people might be around you just to take advantage of you. For example they will be people that are your “friends” because you have the latest technology like a cell phone, computer or MP3 player. They will be your friends to lend them what you have, also other people than that would take advantage of you because you invite them out to the best places like restaurants, malls etc. but never because they want to share a good or fun moment with you. This kind of people that give you the back whey you are lack of money they will not help you.
So the money will buy happiness, the money is only a piece of paper with a value that can buy you material things, money will never buy you love, laughs and happiness that your family and real friends gives to you.

“Fast food should be forbidden for young people under the age of 18”.
Good morning, I am a senior student of the Centro Escolar el roble, I support the motion that “healthy food should be banned in schools”. My name is Camote and in this debate I will talk to you why fast food should be forbidden for young people under the age of 18. The teenagers that eat a lot of junk food have more risk to die early and be obese than younger people that eat more healthy food than fast food. So for that reason fast food is very bad for teenagers, but what are the real problems that fast food makes in your body? One thing is that junk food damages our body because the fast food has many fat that affects the balance of fat in your body and if you have more fat in your body then this fat can clog your arteries. This is not a problem only for the kids because this problem can affect every body. For that reason there are many people that have obesity can also develop diabetes that is a very complicated disease that can affect young and old people.
Also junk food contains artificial substances that change your metabolism . This is a big problem because when you are young, your metabolism is changing because you are growing. People below the age of 18 are still in growth and eating that type of food won’t give the nutrients they need to grow healthy. The teenager needs more healthy food, for example proteins that can make him stronger and give him energy for all day and to make all the activities that you want. The fast food doesn’t have any vitamins, proteins or carbohydrates that can help your body. For that reason young people need some nutrients that are fundamental for growth and the fast food won’t give all the nutrients needed. If the young people still eat this food, their growth will be affected and will not develop in a good way.
So for these reasons the fast food should be forbidden in all schools because it affects the growth of the teenagers. Also this problems can prejudice your health when you are old. So right now you need to change in the way that you eat, for example eat more fruits and vegetables that can help you to take care your skin, vision and be focused.
