Valentines Day

We did not know exactly how valentines day become one of the most loved or hated dates in the year but the story of this date is interesting.
All of the stories have a similar place. Europe was the crib for this story. In the first two stories we found that Valentines day born in Rome by a guy named Valentine that fell in love with someone and he was in prison for marriaged young people. The second story tell us that Valentines day is celebrate on February 15th that was the first day of a fertility festival and dedicated to the roman god of agriculture. In the third story said that Pope Gelasius declared February 14th St. Valentine’s Day during the late 400s AD. and in ther last and fourth story said that during the Middle Ages in France and England, February 14th was known as the first day of birds’ mating season, and was known as a romantic day.

Winnie Poh and Tiger.

The similarity of these stories is that people celebrate it on February 14th only one was the exception. This story was "created" hundred years ago. But I think Valentines Day was created by a pair of boyfriends, groups of people that need a specialm day to celebrate that they are here to be loved or to give love in any way, a date or holiday that feels different and special as others day because on Valentines day all will be love maybe not with a boy/girlfriend but you have your family and some friends, so make this day something special and be happy.

REFLECTION

d) Give a personal comment about the reading

Leaving home is a important topic for teenagers and parents, here in Mexico is different tham im Britain, parents sometimes do not want or allow her sons go away from home. The idea of leaving home is always a dream to all teenagers but as all the things this have a bad side. Sometimes teenagers do not know how to use his freedom and as consecuence they back home with his parents.

Teenagers do not see that side they always see freedom as make the things for their own, what they want, they do but they do not think the consecuence.

I think that if teenagers want to leave home, his or her parents would make a proof to see the lebvel of mature and how the use his freedom.
