Theres always that fight - Passage from "The body"


Rails-to-trails-2.jpg1960- the guys took a trip; they were around the Castel River, the Jolly Furniture Barn, railroads tracks, overgrown scrubland, and an abandoned water tower. It was noontime, and Chris, Teddy, Gordie and Vern where there. They had canteens to fill up with water but they were all wondering what would they eat. Nobody had thought about food.  They started joining their money to buy hamburgers and some tonics.  They heard the Train coming they all run toward the rails.  Suddenly Teddy wanted to dodge the train; everybody was scared of his action. Gordy try to stop him, and he grabbed him and moved him away from the rails. Teddy got angry and starts fighting back. Vern and Chris were only watching them fight. They were getting really mad, and were starting a fistfight until Vern and Chris separate them.  Vern suggested making peace between them.


We can see how Geordie It’s a good boy and wants to do the right thing, Teddy its looking more adventure. He its a little impulsive and likes to chase danger.  His friends don’t think is the most intelligent move. We also have two other characters Vern and Chris.  They both agree on Geordie when the moved Teddy from the rails. Vern in this scene try’s to calm down the argument and create peace among them. Chris want to act more as a leader, he also wants to calm down things and specially calm Teddy.

New Life at a New school


My name is Mariana Minila, I'm 17 years old. I'm a Jr. at NBPs and I'm a resident. I’m from Monterrey, Mexico. I speak three languages Spanish, English and French. I love to do sports my favorite sport is soccer. Also, one of my hobbies is to dance, I have danced my whole life. 

My life as a residential is not what I expected, is much better. I thought it was going to be more challenging to make friends and feel at home. So far it’s been good I have great friends who I have fun with. Classes are not impossible, and teachers are really good. I actually feeling comfortable, i will not lie i do miss Mexico but, this new experience will be unforgettable.

My expectations for myself this year, is concentrate in my class and get higher grades. I would like to be more dedicated and me satisfied with my effort. I want to be able to get to a good school in USA. I will give my best effort this year. My name is Mariana Minila, I'm 17 years old. I'm a Jr. at NBPs and I'm a resident. I’m from Monterrey, Mexico.
