Who I admire?

-

Stephen King is an American writer that write mostly horror books. I love his work because the way he writes it's not boring or superficial, you can follow the story with the necessary amount of details so it’s not slow. I start reading his books when I was 10 years old and they terrified me, their books caught me and when the things went scary it forces me to close the book, specially "The shining". I would love to have all the books I've read of him, but they are really expensive, so I only own 2. My favorite is Joyland. 

Many films are based on his books and I can tell that are not as scary as the books, like “It” or, like I said before, The shining and the sequel Doctor Sleep. There are many examples like Misery, Carrie, The green mile, etc. Currently he is 73 years old and still publishing, a few years ago he published a book with his son Owen.

    You know ... I've never read one of his books, maybe because I'm very fearful hahaha ​​but I think it would be an interesting experience to read a thriller

    I have never tried to read horror literature, not for any particular reason, I just haven't taken the initiative to do so. Maybe Stephen King is a good author to start with.

    I have never read a Stephen King book or watch a movie inspired in in his literature, but "The shining" is a movie that I going to watch this year, I promised! Especially because is directed by Stanley Kubrick.

Post 2 - Why did you choose this career/study programme?

-
I remember when I was a child, I told my mom that I wanted to open a Chilean food restaurant in France, because I believed that Chilean food was underrated and I wanted the world to know how good it was. Then I grew up and I wanted to be teacher of teachers, because I love studying and I believed that if I taught to teach, other people would love to study too.  I still love studying and with that in mind, I found sociology, I discovered that is a career that allows me to permanently study people and social phenomena, that allows me to understand the things of society that make me angry or make me feel disappointed about things I used to believe.  My other options were anthropology and history, but sociology is more exciting.  I think I took the right decision; I'm having a good experience in the Universidad de Chile and I love what I choose.  As I said, I love to study and I would like to be paid for that, but if I can't, I would be teacher of some branch of so...

My Favorite Piece of Technology

  I don't think I really have a favorite piece of technology, but maybe it's the kitchen, I mean those things that are on top of the oven where you put the pan and pots, maybe the oven too, but I prefer those things. Because I love food and cooking, so if those didn’t exist it would be very difficult to cook. We’d be like Lisa Simpson and live on salads. I am a vegetarian, and I love to eat some vegetables cooked, sauteed, in soups, even in the oven. I usually cook sauteed zucchini. I can’t imagine the life without the kitchen, maybe it would be in bonfires or eat everything raw. I don’t have a kitchen bought by myself, but my parents have one since I have memory, so I really don’t know if we didn’t have it at some point. I use it at least 3 days in a week, because my mom cooks for me.

My favorite photo

  I took this photo of my pet susi on this summer vacation. We were at Pichidangui’s beach and that day we let Susi run free on the beach because it was empty. She loves to chase seagulls, and that was she doing when she fell into a hole full of water. Since she was all wet and we didn’t want her to get sick, we bought her a pilucho in the craft fair. And there she is, wearing a pilucho in my mom’s arms. I love this photo because it captures the childish spirit of Susi, an old dog. Also, she looks so cute and adorable. Susi loves her pilucho and be treated like a baby, and I love that, and I love her and all the photos where she appears. She’s like a sunshine in my life, even when she is all wet for chasing seagulls.
