DeleteI don't believe that is the better writer why ?
Deletebecause the song of the Sex Pistols he became a punk anthem and a reflection of despair and lack of hope for a generation of young people in the UK, which s'acenturaría a few years later at 80 with conflicting the 'tharcherisme' backdrop.
However, the images that have been around the world of young uncontrollably destroying shops and houses, looting shops under the helpless eyes of the police and attacking citizens has become uncontrolled expression 'Anarchy in the UK' (Anarchy in the UK ) to the holders of all the British and international press.
Coincidentally, They have a song with the same name of my topic. This is ANARCHY IN THE U.K. : http://www.musica.com/letras.asp?letra=8642
ReplyDeleteIt is a fine song
They were an English punk rock band that formed in London in 1975. They were responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians.
ReplyDeleteTheir Members were Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock and Johnny Rotten
They are well know! For example some songs are: God save the queen, Seventeen and Holidays in the sun. They are a good band.
What do you think?
Karen, look at your e-mail
DeleteI think wheater they have good music or not, they influenced a terrible movement for society, the punk movement.
DeleteIn my opinion you can not find anything possitive in those kind of movements
Charlie take it easy =) relax
DeleteSorry for you, But that is my topic, you would say to teacher that. jajajaj ;)
Deletei don´t like the punk movement but many of them has good ideas against religion, politic and mankind and this movement try to awake open their eyes not in the correct form for my opinion but they try to get free of the impositions of the society that someones can`t see ....... lost souls
DeleteMargaret thatcher was the best!!
ReplyDeletewhy? well, let's start saying that she was called the "IRON LADY" because her courage facing the comunism, the URSS.
I think she is the best because many people would think that a woman is not able to be a strong leader but she demonstrated that actually a woman can be an excellent one.
She studied laws and chemistry. She was the longest serving British Prime Minister of the 20th Century.
She won the fakland's islands war against Argentina in 1982
I think she was a great woman, an example.

DeleteI don't agree already reflected that for me, be one of those people who think that problems are solved with war. Her decisions triggered the Falklands war.
Deletemmmm in maybe the unique point that i compart with you, she had a lot of value and personallity, a long of her mandate she had a lot of problems, but for be a women had a lot of strength she look at future and focus on future, the iron women
Deletethis is my best author: Bernie Bruen was commander of an eighteen man team of bomb-disposal divers in the Falklands War. These poems and notes constitute a record and tribute to the the outstanding courage and achievements of these men. Bernie Bruen is concerned that his team should receive the official recognition that it clearly deserves - hence the reference to "forgotten men".
ReplyDeletehttp://www.warpoetry.co.uk/FCDT3teamWEB.jpg
Even though He was a great guy, his leader commander was Margaret Thatcher. Therefore, I think Thatcher is the best bacuase she was the head on the Fakland's islands war
DeleteNobody will discuss about good thatcher’s leadership but Bernie Bruen with his army fought and they obtained the Victoria. Now is better live the experiences than to listen them. Bruen is the character most appropriate to write about this topic “Falkland’s war” HE IS THE BEST, JEJEJEJEJEJ
DeleteIn this page you can read some Bernie´s poems, are the best
ReplyDeletehttp://www.warpoetry.co.uk/falklands_war__bernie_bruen.html
The best author for me is Joe Strummer singer and songwriter who was the co-founder, lyricist, rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist of the punk rock band The Clash , The Clash exhibited political overtones in their lyrics that eventually became his key distinguishing feature. The idealism expressed in the compositions of Joe Strummer and Mick Jones They discussed issues such as social decay, unemployment, racism, police brutality, political and social repression, militarism. also Strummer was involved in the campaigns of the Anti-Nazi League and the "Rock Against Racism"
ReplyDeletethanks to the complete and excellent documentary "Joe Strummer: The future is unwritten 'Julian Temple and at times they confronting in England a monumental crisis of values, political and economic, it is good to remember an artist, thanks to his experiences, was born in Turkey and lived in both London (where he shared with immigrants from around the world) and in New York, was always interested in world culture and spat in his lyrics to all that meant racism and consumerism. And he fought to generate a strong community where human beings come together to improve the system.
Here you can see the documentary by Joe Strummer and i recommend this song

We Will Not Cry: A Fantasy by Bernie Bruen (Jan 1994)
In line with the literary genre of the fantastic that has its origins in mythology and folk tales narrated orally for centuries, or literature modern classic, my opinion is that the best and most important author of this category is:
ReplyDeleteC.S. Lewis
author recognized by the series the Chronicles of Narnia
•El Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1951)
•the Prince Caspian (1951) journey of the Dawn Treader (1952)
•The Chair of silver (1953)
•the horse and the boy (1954)
•the nephew of the sorcerer (1955)
•the last battle (1956)
http://www.lecturalia.com/sobre/grandes-autores-de-la-literatura-fantastica
Although this author lived and wrote at the end of the IX century, nowadays, it is still one very influential people who are writing today, and following this line of fantasy literature. Remember that this line is not rather than modernization of the classical literature; by such reason and contributions of this author, literature modern classic is still alive.
I consider him the best because, unlike other authors of fantasy literature, such as JK Rowling, the contents of his writings are related to God and his love to humanity, for example the Chronicles of Narnia, and not with terror and death that you has to society.
So as I think that C.S. Lewis is the best author of the literature classic modern, since his writings not only catch the reader by his excellent writing and imagination, but by its content that provides value and best ways of thinking humanity.
When I say that this author has written fantastic books, is that the content is related to the mythology of Greek, Norse, highlighting the Chronicles of Narnia for this idea, I am referring to the literary style. Read:
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_cr%C3%B3nicas_de_Narnia#Influencias_en_la_saga
Here I share some of his phrases more famous that they do be a good speaker:
http://www.frasesycitas.com/frases-del-autor-clive-stapl-lewis/0.html
Finally, it is reason enough to consider it the best, which at the time a book is brought to the film is because their success and great success has been overwhelming, is the case of the aforementioned series.
The list of his successful books is extensive, see: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._S._Lewis#Obras

In general, this author has as great and excellent repertoire of books than anyone, of any age, should miss.
Thank you for reading.
I think that read that kind of text or books are good because create in your mind a fantastic world where your mind fly, in my case a like a lot that kind of literatury thanks angela =)

ReplyDeleteMy favorite writer is kiko amat that truly speaks everything about the life of the different cultures that are in our society .. it was able to find the exact points of each culture. and tells us how the life of each one of them.
ReplyDeletehe said Since dawned sunny 15M has been much talk about the soundtrack, the need for a new protest song and how the pop in Spain is only a petty hobby feeds the spirit of frivolities, trivialities camouflaged manners, sports slippers cyclical and other anemias.
Kiko Amat is a difficult writer to place in the current landscape. It's kind of pop, almost punk, but it is not punk because his literature is dynamic and fast. He has developed his own style: Always write as a teenager, accelerated and insecure.
DeleteUTOPIA
ReplyDeleteRelated to Social structure and organization:
Utopia is a rationally structured society. It is peaceful and harmonious and there is a minimum conflict. Utopia can also be a perfect place that is non-existent.
The best writer related to UTOPIA: 16th century dreams Thomas More
Sir Thomas More (1477 - 1535) was an English lawyer, writer, and statesman. He was at one time one of Henry VIII's most trusted civil servants, becoming Chancellor of England in 1529.
Thomas More wrote the first formal utopia. He imagined a complex, self-contained world set on an island, in which communities shared a common culture and way of life. He defined systems of punishment, social hierarchy, agriculture and education.
Main features:
• Geography:
Utopia is an Island and so has no problems with contended borders.
Towns are well planned and there are no hovels or slums. Everyone has an adequate
Housing with a garden in which to grow vegetables for the family. And everyone is
Well trained in farming.
• Government:
Government is by delegates being elected to represent local communities.
• Politics and war
Utopians have no interest in territorial expansion and make no alliances with other nations. They are basically pacifist but they will fight in defensive conflicts if It is necessary, preferring to employ mercenaries to do the actual fighting and where Possible to outwit their enemies and thus avoid bloodshed.

HARRY POTTER HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD
I believe that literature that brings terror and evil to the world is not the best for humanity.
DeleteI don´t consider a good writer a person that with her written can damage the children´s mind, I say that because in these books show the evil like good, the Harry Potter´s world is full of cruel monsters, spirits stained with blood, evil and sadistic teachers, horrible curses. Now in a world where there is violence and wickedness, why feed it with apparently inoffensive stories that only promote more evil.
DeleteI believe that this writer does not give very good teaching. that teaches children the dark side that is brugeria blood. monsters and other things.
DeleteI think there is no problem with a child to see this kind of movies or read this type of literature of fantasy, we can not hide the reality and to blind children of everything evil in the world otherwise it show reality as it is simply explain to them and you make it clear that what they read is fantasy (not real).
DeleteAllen Ginsberg

He vigorously opposed militarism , economic materialism and sexual repression . Ginsberg is best known for his epic poem " Howl ", in which he denounced what he saw as the destructive forces of capitalism and conformity in the United States.Ginsberg is best known for his epic poem " Howl ", in which he denounced what he saw as the destructive forces of capitalism and conformity in the United States.
The publication of the poem Howl (Howl, 1956), Ginsberg, was the catalyst that cemented beat poetry and gave concrete form, based on a very sharp pace, with influences of jazz, that in a longer total assimilation techniques avant-garde and a return to some romantic conception reflects a personal universe made of images that often make the poem a kind of psalmodic highly expressive singing. True allegation beat, Howl is a celebration of madness and lucidity, and a protest against the mechanized and materialistic society.
Another great creation of Ginsberg's long poem dedicated to his mother, Kaddish (1961), a personal confession, almost cathartic. Accompanying these two poems, published some songs meter shorter and simpler expression, with popular titles like The weight of the world is love.

DeleteANARCHY IN U.K
ReplyDeleteOne of the characters that contributed to this important topic was Pierre-Joseph Proudhon was a French politician and revolutionary philosopher, and, along with Bakunin and Kropotkin parent of anarchist thought and his first economic trend.
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon gave the necessary ideological by the punk moviment in books like Anarchism, What is Property? and Federalist Papers
The Sex Pistols is the best band into that time (Anarchy in UK), They were an English punk rock band that formed in London in 1975. They were responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians.
ReplyDeleteTheir Members were Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock and Johnny Rotten
I think that, because is very usefull for us because their songs talks about some real situations in that time and show some feelings in The 20s . Thanks to that we can know some things about that time (1975–78)
In that song you can appreciate that: ANARCHY IN THE U.K. http://www.musica.com/letras.asp?letra=8642
They are well know! For example some songs are: God save the queen, Seventeen and Holidays in the sun. They are a good band.
They a good band! Thanks Sex pistols for all! jajjajaj (Charilie :P)
I disagree with you because in my opinion an excellent writer is able to transmit a good message or maybe change the life of a person, but this kind of music don´t edify to the people.
Deletethis music marked rebelion and freedon in their style of music, they have good and bad points, the best point is go against the opresion system and his stupid dogms.
Deletethe bad point is the excess of grugs, chemicals
although they were the pioneers of punk, I think are not the best of this genre is not done to my liking but what I read was a punk band that only did they put out everywhere, They would spit and insulated his audience, nothing like the Beatles did more for music, yet they were not a band if not Punk Rock & Roll.

ReplyDeleteJean-Louis "Jack" Kérouac was an American novelist and poet. He is considered a pioneer of the Beat Generation, is recognized for his method of spontaneous prose. Thematically, his work covers topics such as Catholic spirituality, jazz, promiscuity, Buddhism, drugs, poverty, and travel. He became an underground celebrity and, with other beats, a progenitor of the hippie movement, although he remained antagonistic toward some of its politically radical elements.
Since his death Kerouac's literary prestige has grown and several previously unseen works have been published. All of his books are in print today, among them: The Town and the City, On the Road, Doctor Sax, The Dharma Bums, Mexico City Blues, The Subterraneans, Desolation Angels, Visions of Cody,The Sea is My Brother, and Big Sur.
I recommend that you read the famous quotes of Jack Kérouac:

In my opinion is the best writer since the Allen Ginsberg is strongly opposed to militarism, economic materialism and sexual repression also in his writings and in his life, Ginsberg defended the freedom and authenticity. Many of his poems are extremely sincere and direct. For example, in "Kaddish" describes the madness of his mother in clear terms

DeleteI choose George Orwell for the reason that he died in 1950 at the age of 46 years old and has been a controversial person by his books coments and current of though because he could or can throught his writtens express several ideas and he transmit anger, produce encouragement, curiosity and he wrote in a fascinating form.
ReplyDeletehe deal and fight with someones of the powerful currents on the age of second war and after the war, some people tried of distort his ideas but as he wrote in a very critic form and the distor wasn´t possible.
well, my favorite war writer is wiillian ospina in especific for his book "? donde esta la franja amarilla ?" . i like taht because are the description about colombian history and he write about why if colombia is a contry with a lot of natural resources and human power his poblation are in middle of a extreme poverty and there are alarming condition inefficient bureaucracy, impunity and corruption in political and economical systems .i belive that willian ospina is the best witer because is one of the few colombians writer who talk fearless abot aour situation and maka a strong critical for colombian goverment
