Fiestas Patrias 

I remember many celebrations of Fiestas Patrias. My family enjoy with celebrations, for example Christmas, New Year, birthday and Fiestas Patrias. what I remember The most  was a few years ago. specifically six years when I was eight months pregnant, and my stomach was so big, I couldn’t walk freely.

That year celebration in the house of my parents with my family, brother and sisters, grandparents, uncle and aunt, we ate mote con huesillos, barbecue, salad, patty and drank terremotos. We talk about life memory of past, We laugh, play cards and singed Karaoke. I liked because I enjoyed with all my family, we all got together anymore with for Fiestas Patrias. I enjoy celebrations with my family or friends in any place, but I prefer stay in my home. Few times I go to fondas because I don’t like places with many noisy or many peoples, I prefer places calm, with few people, a place for have a good time.

I liked this celebrations because the people enjoy and dance cueca, but they consume too much alcohol and accidents occur, is very dangerous.

For the future, in the next celebrations for fiestas patrias I would like go to the beach, with my son and my family, I never spent the holidays at the beach, is a place calm and so beautiful for enjoy with family. I would go to algarrobo, a the house of my mother work, would happen weather resting and walking for the beach.

For me…..

I think it is a very complex issue. The dictatorship was the darkest time in Chilean history for me, because  it occurs after than the human rights were promulgated. A time that violates every rights of the people, where no one was safe. I was born after the dictatorship ended, but my parents lived in this time and told me about that, it was a very difficult time. I think it doesn’t matter if you lived in this time or not, the important thing is to think about that, and if you are going to erect barricades, protest against the government or fight against the Special Forces you should do it thoroughly, for the memory of those who died or suffered during this time. If you go to fight only for destroy, I do not agree with that. Most of the people who tortured or killed people are free and still no justice is done, many unfinished cases that keep families of the victims live in peace, I think this is because the government of Chile and the people involved has done their best to keep it secret, but I still believe that one day they will pay for their sins.

I think that the most important of the protest march in this time is to understand the message, Chile can not return to live in dictatorship, never again.

All my life i wanted to go Isla de Pascua.  When i was child I liked look the moais because are very freaky and seem little people. I like because is a place very nice and it is the largest island in Chile. Despite being considered of Chile, they are one a republic apart, because your laws, idiom, dance and custom.

I would go on vacation and learn the language and dances , because I think people are very happy and solidarity
