Sophies World Again

Hi
Today I will continue about Sophie’s world book. I am still reading it. I have read about Descartes, Spinoza, Locke, Hume, Berkeley, Bjerkely and Kant. They are philosophers. I have learned new things about philosophy. In the book there are many things that I didn’t see in the movie. It also says about myths. Where did the civilization start? How were the people at that time, when did Catholicism start? and some more exiting things. Also read about the Renaissance, Baroque epoch, the Middle Age, the Hellenism, etc.
Hilde Moller Knag is the same as Sophie. On her birthday her father who works for the United Nations gifted her one book. This book was about the adventures Sophie had and also copies of the postal cards received by Sophie. He also says that Sophie and Alberto are his imagination and are written by him. But Hilde thinks that they exist. In the book Sophie saw Winnie Pooh and Little Red Hood during her adventures. It’s very interesting. The adventures have not been finished yet. I will write again later after finishing it.

Another interesting thing during the last week was that I went to my friend Katy’s birthday. We all played many games, watched movies and broke the piñata (a figure made of papers and filled with candy). Then she cut the cake and we made her to do a mordida (it’s when she blows away the candle in the cake, we push her face in to the cake and her face will be full of cake).

Hasta Luego (See you later!!!)

Bienvenidos al Museo del Desierto

Hi
Today I am going to tell you about a famous museum in our city. It is called “Museo del desierto” (Desert museum).
In front of the museum we can see a fountain. There you can make a wish & throw a coin. They say that your wish will come true. When we enter the museum, we can see souvenir stores and then we would enter the museum.
In the museum they exhibit and explain the process of the formation of deserts. They have interactive exhibits of desert plants. We also see the Laboratory of fossils and lot of dinosaur fossils. They are big and nice to see. Many fossils of dinosaurs have been found in Rincon Colarado. It is in our state and near our city. There is also an interactive section showing different dinosaurs and their names. There is a section for kids, where you can draw, paint or sew many things.
There are exhibits and models of things that humans used a long time ago in this state. There is a compartment of train which was used in the past. When you are inside, the guide will move the train and you feel like that you are going in the train.
Then they have replicas of mammoth and stuffings of different animals like leopards, puma, cats, deers, bears, deers, fox, etc. There we can picture ourselves amidst whole animals and also among hunted heads of deers. There is a section for bats and snakes. Finally there is a section showing Coahuila 70 million years ago, which contains lot of plants, waterfall, crocodiles, turtles, etc. We also see a large section of different types of cactus. When we come out of the museum, there is a section to play with water flow and artificial rain, where we can get wet.
Appa took me and amma as soon as we came here. Amma says it happened during the first week (3rd April, 2002). We bought one cactus during that trip and still have it with us in our home. After that we went several times. Last week (4th February) we went again to the museum with two friends, Dr. Ajith and Dr. Alice who are from England and with Angel. They have come here to visit one of their Mexican friends; Dr. Pepe Reyes. Angel is the son of Dr. Pepe Reyes. Dr. Ajith enquired about Indians with their friend and came to know our presence from Dr. Carlos, who is working with Dr. Pepe and also a friend of Dra. Ana. Then they both visited us. They were happy to see us and we were happy too. I like to go to this museum. I would like to go as a volunteer to this museum and to be a guide.

!Ojalá que disfrutó leer este texto! (Hope you enjoyed this reading).

El Mundo de Sofia

Hola!
I saw a Norwegian movie "Sofies verden". I liked it very much. Appa told me that it is based on a Norwegian book by Jostein Gaarder. He also told me that shankar chithappa bought this book for appa from landmark book shop at Chennai. Now this book is in India. I am now reading this book in Spanish and the title of the book is “El Mundo de Sofia” (Sophie´s World).
In this book, a girl named Sophia receives two mysterious post cards. In the first card there was a question, Who is she? In the second card, Where did the world come from? Later she also receives cards addressed to Hilde Møller Knag, c/o Sofia. Then she receives packet of papers about philosophies. She becomes the student of Alberto Knox. He lives in a cabin near the lake. But she does not know who he is? Sofia sees Hilde Møller Knag in a magic mirror in the cabin of Alberto. She is just the same as Sofia, but with glasses.

I find the book interesting. I have not finished reading it. But I will finish it soon and write more about this book later.
