A subject I´ve enjoyied studyngthis semester

At school, I always loved history, that can explain a little my preference for the subjet of Social History of Latin America, imparted by Octavio Avendaño Pavéz, sociology and teacher of history and geaografy, with a doctorate in political science. 

In this class we analysis diverse process in the continent, trying to understand the present social structures and dynamics. To get this, we pass diferent contents. Starting with the colonial perody, the independentist movements, oligarchic supremacy, the graet revolutions of the continent and violent rebellions, populism and military dictatorships.

In the semester, we hace to do three tests. Until this date, we already made two of this. The truth is that in every class, the people that assist is not much, because the attendance acording to the teacher, is not obligatory.

I love this subjetc because, as I say at the beginning, I really love te historic process and understand how an why that process ocur. Also, I think this class is very important beacause our continent have characteristics very especifics and differents to the rest of continents. Thats the reason for we have to discover this characteristics and apply this and not follow the traditional and european methods of sociology.

My favorite food

 One of the most usual comments that people do when I say that I am from Valparaíso is "Oh you must love fish and shellfish", and actually yes, but specially I love fried fish with chips and Chilean salad. One of my best memories of my childhood are the Sunday mornings with my dad, walking down the hill and arriving to the fishing cove and buy the fish recently removed from the sea. The fried fish is made with a piece of fish and a mixture made of flour and beer or wine, and then you fry it. The best way to eat this, is with chips and Chilean salad, this salad is made with tomatoes, onions and coriander.
I love this meal because mix the fried food with all his grease and the freshness of a delicious and colorful salad. Also, this is a very traditional food not only of Chile, also of Valparaíso, my natal city.
The bad news for my and this meal, it is that now, I am vegetarian, so I don´t eat this food anymore. I hope some day I can eat this again. Nothing like eating fish and chips with salad looking to the sea.
