Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was an African and American civil rights activist from the U.S. congres later called the "Mother of the Modern-Day ‘civil rights movement’
On December 1, 1955 in Montogmery.Alabama, Parks when se was 42, refused to obey bus driver James Blake's order because she didn´t want to leave her sit for a white passenger. Her action was not the first of this type: Irene Morgan, in 1946, and Sarah Louise Keys, in 1955, had won rulings before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Interstate Commerce Commission respectively in the area of interstate bus travel.
Because of that Parks becam an important symbol of the modern Civil Rights Movement and Parks beame an internation resisten of racial segration.When this occurs Parks works for ‘rights and racial equality’,but she lost her job so she went to work to Detroit.Michigan and get a job similar to that.
In my opinion Parks is an important campaigner because she want the same rigths and racial equality, and I thin all we are the same and we don´t have to discriminate someone beecaus of his/her coloir or because she is English or Spanish.But I don´t understand very well that if she work por the equal rights and the racial equality we she didn´t want to give up her sit for the white passenger to sit on.

My opinion:
I agree with her because she was one of the first women who entered in politics during the Spanish Republic and then during the Spanish Civil War she participated in the Republic party. She also fought for her ideas going to hunger strikes, talking on the radio giving her opinion, participating on lots of protests etc. All that shows that she was a very brave woman because she wasn’t scare about what can happen to her by doing all that things, and she never resigned to her dreams and ideas.

The eagle tried to go to the princess kingdom in order to marry her, but he couldn't speak because he was an animal so he decided to stay in the window of the princess to look after her. When the princess woke up inside her castle she realised the eagle was the prince, and he needed the ring of the island treasure to turn him into a prince again. But Morticia had sent a wolf to kill the eagle. However, the wolf stopped in the forest. By the time the old man was going out of the forest but what he didn't know was that the wolf was there too. Morticia caught the eagle and the old man, who was called Asujaín, and she locked them in the tower. Unfortunately there was a horrible thunderstorm and the princess couldn't rescue them because she was in a lost house in the wooods and she couldn't go out due to the storm. She, who was called Willemina, found out that the frog of the house, was a magic one and it had a flying carpet to scape, and flying, she could go to the island to take the magic ring that could turn the eagle into her prince. The tower was supervised by a dragon, so the prince Bartolomeus and Asujaín decided to attack the dragon. While Bartalomeus flew around the dragon, Asujaín took the sword of the prince, and he killed the dragon, so they both could scape. On the other hand, The princess was already in the island looking for the treasure, and she finally found the ring. She gave her crown to the frog and she could give the ring to Bartolomeus. They realised that Asujaín was Bartolomeus father, who had disappeared a lot of years ago, and Willemina and Bartolomeus married happily.
But on the other part of the kingdom, the darkest one, Morticia continued laughing.

The Butarque News 15
Welcome to the 15th issue of The Butarque News! Today we will hear about some interesting things, such as our last trip of the year, the last parties we're going to have there, and finally about our two best basketball players.
The swimming pool.
The next 22nd of June, we are going on a trip to the swimming pool in Carrascal. We will leave our highschool at 9:00 am, and we'll come back at 2:00 pm more or less.
I think we'll do some activities with other students from different highschools, and we will be supervised by teachers, rescuers and monitors. We wanted to go the amusement park, but we couldn't and, fortunately, we have had the chance to go to the swimming pool. Anyway, I think we'll have a good time together, and one of the reasons will be because we will finish highschool very soon! (By: Lourdes Fuentes Domínguez, 3ºB )
Parties
The 22nd of June, the students of Butarque High School are going to have a little party, because they want to celebrate the end of the year. We will dance, play football and other sports, and see different dancing styles. Finally we hope to have a nice day! (By: Ana Escribano López, 3ºB)

Basketball match
Last Thursday, two of our classmates, Roberto Villegas and Antonio Sánchez, went to play basketball with other people from our higschool and others to Pablo Neruda Higschool. Before going there, we celebrated a pre-selection match in which the best teams that had been good at the P.E. campaign "Ponle un tapón al botellón", would be rewarded with tickets to see a basketball match, and with playing this game with other people from other higschools in Leganés. Unfortunately, our mates didn't win, but they came very proud of their work at 12:45 p.m., when we were having our always interesting, stimulating, fascinating English class.

In Leganés they are about environment and youth. (By Raquel C.)

Hello! This is the poem winner of the second prize of poetry in the Butarque ^^ Hope you like it!
It's not so personal, it's unlikely in me writing about love =)
It's not so personal, it's unlikely in me writing about love =)
Vuelve
¿Dónde quedan nuestros sueños?
Vuelve, vuelve aún te quiero.
Te has ido, y no vuelves
Te has ido sin mis besos
No dejas ni una caricia
No dijiste ni un te quiero.
¿Dónde estás que no te veo?
¿Vuelves ya o es un sueño?
Vuelve, vuelve, te recuerdo.
Tu tacto de terciopelo,
Como brillaban tus ojos
Que me hacían ver el cielo
¿Cumplirás pronto mi sueño?
Vuelve, vuelve o me muero.

Mentiras mortales
Well, boys and girls, the teacher has asked the winners of the literature prizes to put them in the blog and here is mine! I really think it's too long, but it's in spanish, and easy to read... I hope the other winners will do it soon!
MENTIRAS MORTALES
Volví a pegarle. Sería la última vez. Podía recuperar el control, calmarme. Una más. Y otra. Y una última en el estómago para dejarle en el suelo. Después me reí y miré a mis dos colegas. Carlos me miraba con su habitual expresión de admiración excesiva. Sentí como mi imagen se deshacía en sus ojos claros antes de mirar a Javier, un chico problemático pero poco agresivo, que me observaba con desaprobación.
-Podrías haberle matado, Adrián. Dime qué te ha hecho ese chaval.
-Es un pijo de mierda, tío, y lo sabes. Ese tío se ha ventilado a mi novia, ¿lo entiendes? Y todo gracias a una camisa de marca y unas zapatillas pijas.
-Quizá le guste –sugirió Carlos, sin malicia.
-Sí claro, y yo soy tu abuela, no te digo. A ninguna tía con un mínimo coeficiente intelectual le puede gustar un tío así.
Carlos bajó la cabeza, como de costumbre. En el fondo me parecía un cobarde, pero me hacía la pelota, y eso me convenía. Le miré detenidamente, y pensé que nunca me había parado a pensar en su aspecto. La verdad es que tenía pinta de chulo barato, pero, a pesar de mi narcisismo, debía reconocer que el tío era bastante guapo.
-Yo sólo digo que este muchacho no se merecía la paliza que le has metido, Adrián. Míralo, no puede ni moverse.
-Pues que llame a su mami.
-Le has roto el móvil –me indicó Carlos por lo bajini.
-¿Qué pasa tíos, que nos vamos a quedar aquí a que vengan los maderos? No quiero volver al reformatorio ese de mierda. Los vigilantes se creían bomberos, no te digo. Yo no vuelvo a pisar eso en la vida.
-Quizá deberías volver y aprender por qué estuviste allí, Adrián –habló de nuevo Javier.
-No quiero hablar de ese tema, tío.
-Tal vez deberías. Es sólo una sugerencia. Puedes hacer con tu vida lo que te dé la gana, que ya eres mayorcito. Pero si piensas que voy a dejar a este chavalín aquí tirado ya te puedes ir dando la vuelta con tu amigo, que ya le faltará tiempo para lamerte el culo. Yo me voy a quedar a ayudarlo.
-Vale ya, ¿no? Que yo no te he hecho nada, tío, ¿qué tienes contra mí? –le preguntó Carlos, encarándole.
-Tengamos la fiesta en paz, ¿no? Ya está bien, creo yo.
-No, de lo que ya está bien es de pegarle palizas a la gente porque te da la gana y encima traerte al niñato este para que disfrute el espectáculo. Adrián, tiene quince años y mucha vida por delante, y no creo que verle en unos cuantos años haciendo lo que tú vas haciendo sea una visión agradable.
-¿Te quieres tranquilizar tronco? –le pregunté a Javier, levantándole el puño.
-Siempre igual, te crees que con levantarme la mano lo tienes todo hecho, tío. Estás muy equivocado.
-¿Se puede saber qué ha pasado aquí? –una mujer joven, no muy alta, e increíblemente atractiva, se había arrodillado frente al pijo.
-No lo sabemos, pasábamos por aquí e intentamos ayudarle, pero mis amigos empezaron a discutir. –Sonrió Carlos.
-Gracias a Dios que he pasado, está escupiendo mucha sangre. Le han pegado bien. Sergio, ¿me oyes?
-Espere… ¿Le conoce?
-Por supuesto, es mi hermano. ¿Me ayudáis o no?
-Lo siento yo me tengo que pirar –solté sin pensar. Salí corriendo. Sólo pensaba en correr y llegar a casa sano y salvo. Sano y salvo, eso que el pijo de Sergio no podría cumplir esta noche. Lloré. Por primera vez en tres años, desde que salí del reformatorio, lloré. Las lágrimas fueron algo útil. Me llevaron a recapacitar sobre aquellos desaprovechados años, sobre que había cumplido veinte años y seguía comportándome como un niño. Y todo, absolutamente todo, porque mi novia, la exuberante y famosa Noelia, había decidido traicionarme. ¿Por qué me costaba tanto entenderlo?
-¿Adrián? –escuché una voz tras la puerta de mi habitación, y cuando abrí la puerta me encontré cara a cara con Sandra, mi hermana pequeña. Era una niña de trece años, guapa, bajita y rubia, con unos ojos verdes iguales a los míos, sólo que los suyos eran limpios y dulces.
Se sentó en mi cama y me cogió la mano.
-¿Qué ha pasado? –preguntó con su voz de soprano ligero.
-Nada –me sequé las lágrimas con el dorso de la mano, pero sospeché que ya era demasiado tarde.
Sandra se quedó mirando al vacío, con el rostro contraído y preocupado. Me incliné hacia ella para darle un beso en la mejilla, pero me rechazó, apartándose.
-¿No crees que hay que poner fin a esto?
-No veo el modo.
Sandra se giró y salió de la habitación, llorando ante una causa perdida.
-¿Estás loco, tío? –me dijo Javier, cuando, al día siguiente, quedamos para salir-. Aquella tía por poco nos mata. Nos quería llevar a declarar como testigos, y le tuvimos que decir que no habíamos visto nada. Aquello sí que fue bueno. Nos dijo que le habíamos pegado nosotros, y se lo llevó al hospital. Creo que está realmente grave.
Yo me reí y sonreí a Carlos, tratando de llamar su atención. Sin embargo, por primera vez, permaneció inmune a mi risa. No sabía que había pasado, pero todo había cambiado en una sola noche. O eso creí hasta que Carlos me devolvió la mirada y dibujó una sonrisa en su redondo rostro adolescente. Me sentí mucho más tranquilo.
-¿Vamos hoy a mi casa? –propuse-. No está mi hermana.
Javier pareció ponerse tenso, aunque deduje que sería un escalofrío.
-No… Vamos donde siempre –e inició el paso. ¿Desde cuándo se rechazaban mis propuestas?
Sin embargo les seguí hasta el pequeño y aislado parque dónde nos reuníamos normalmente. Me senté al borde de un banco y encendí un cigarrillo. Le ofrecí uno a los chicos, que declinaron la oferta. No sabía por qué, pero tenía un mal presentimiento. Mis temores se realizaron cuando vi un Audi recién matriculado dirigirse hacia nosotros. Pero cuando me giré para avisar a mis amigos, no había nadie.
-¿Qué queréis? –pregunté cuando un chaval alto, musculoso y moreno se acercó.
-Así que tú… Lo suponía. Te creías muy listo allí –lo recordaba. Era un chico del reformatorio, le había pegado para quitarle el tabaco en un par de ocasiones.
-¿A qué viene esto?
-Tu amiguito ese al que has pegado me ha pagado. Bueno, miento, lo ha hecho su adorable hermana. A tus amigos también les pagó. No se lo tengas en cuenta.
-¿Pagado para qué? -y vi el revólver.
Mi último pensamiento, fue para mi hermana, mi niña, la única persona que había confiado en mí. Por culpa de mis continuas mentiras, se iba a quedar sola. Recordé su rostro, y, arrepintiéndome de mi propia vida, me dejé llevar por la muerte.

Literature Prizes & The International Day of the BookSilvia San Segundo
The past March, as you must remember, we’d announce the winners of the Butarque Literary Contest. And, now, we’re inviting you to the Prize Giving.
It’s going to be celebrate on Thursday 23rd, because (I hope all you know it) it’s International Day of the Book. On April 23rd, three of the most popular and better writers (Shakespeare, Cervantes and Garcilaso) died.
So, in the morning, the Literature Department is going to proceed to give the winner their awards and then, some teachers and the winners will go to the centre of Leganés to read some fragments of “El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha”. It’s a tradition!
So if you haven’t got class and want to read it in public to celebrate International Day of the Book, come on and go to the Salvador Church and enjoy this beautiful book.

GLASGOW
This Easter my parents led me to Glasgow of holidays to visit his city and all its monuments. Upon arrival the first thing we did was settle on a 4-star hotel, then ate and finally went to see the wonderful monuments containing Glasgow City starting with the stadium is called Celtic Hampden Park has hosted the final of the UEFA Cup in 2007 and the stadium is called the Glasgow ranger Inbox stadium. Then we went to the library Mitchell, spacious and comfortable, is considered one of the most important libraries of Europe for its extensive collection of books, newspapers, photographs and maps, I was shocked that you can find endless information and read a variety of books. Glasgow is a cultural city full of museums, art galleries, theatres most of them are public and free. Also visit the manufactures of cotton, textiles based on their trade, also in the abundance of coal and iron has become an important industrial centre of Scotland. What a pity! Just the holidays, but I am pleased to have gone to Glasgow City a major city for its great variety both as culture and sports industrial

Last summer I was in glasgow in one of the hotels in the Buchanan Street.
The first week I visited the Glasgow city. I saw many museums of this city like the Hunterian Museum and Hunterian Art Gallery,Burrel collection, where I saw pictures of painters as important as Renoirand Cezane, The Museum of the Transport. I shopped in the Princes square , it's fantastic ! ,there are many shops and bars , tea rooms and it's very big . I bought many things for my and my family.Also I was in the West End and there are incredible antique shops, places of crafts and old bookshops, things very originals. To eat I found a Spanish bar Barca Tapas Cafe Andaluz. The food was really nice it was as if you were in own Spain .
Also I visited the society of Mackintosh , and One of the things that more I liked was the stadium of the Celtic Glasgow .The stadium is impressive and the people are very nice and agreeable. And to end I visited the university of Glasgow .It's an enormous place and very curious of seeing and the boys were very gallants.
The trip was very exciting and enterteining .
I would like to return to Glasgow !.
I was to Glasgow
This Easter holidays my friends and I have been to Glasgow. This city is fantastic, it has got all, good shopping centres, very nice buildings and a interesting science centre.
The first day we decided to walk to The West End, I really like this quartier because it has got so beautiful houses and also an important history. The next day we went to Glasgow's Tower because the day was very good (it wasn't cloudy). The best of all were the sights, almost all the city can be watched. The next days we were in some importants shopping centres like Buchanana Street and also we were in the Hunterain Museum and seeing some Mackintosh works (a Glaswegian architect and later a pinter and a designer).
In conclusion, Glasgow it's fantastic and I had a very good time.

End Of Year Trip
Dear teachers of Butarque:
I will sincerely tell you that we chose perfectly our destination; Glasgow is one of the most fascinating cities of Scotland!
Firstly, the day after arriving to the hotel, we decided to visit some shopping streets, and our guide recommend us going to Buckanan Street, in the city centre. There are a lot of shops that aren't in Leganés, so I personally took advantages of it and I bought some presents.
The next day, there were some planned activities: we could go to a football match where The Celtic Football Club played, we could visit the University of Glasgow, or finally we could do an art excursion, which showed us some Mackintosh works ( a Glaswegian architect) and the hunterian museum.
As a conclusion, I must tell that I visited everything due to we had a very long week. Besides we learnt a lot and enjoy our visit, but, don't be jealous; we tried to buy some souvenirs.
We´ll see when we arrive there. Wishes:
Héctor

GLASGOW, A WONDERFUL CITY
Hello Elena:
I must say I'm missing you a lot, but I'm also having so fun! I'm with all my friends visiting this wonderful city.
On Monday we went to the West End where we visited some streets like the Buchanan Street, the Prince's Square and the Merchant City. It was raining, but the city was beautiful with all the rain.
On Tuesday and on Wednesday we went to visit the Hunterian Museum, which has a fantastic dinosaur's footprints collection.
This summer I think you should visit the Mackintosh Museum and specially The Willow Tea Rooms.
This week-end The Old Firm is playing!
Kisses and love

Letter from Glasgow
Dear Laura:
I arrived to Glasgow after a few hours. When I arrived, I went to our hotel and I got slept.
I first visited the city centre, the most important shopping areas of the city. I visited Buchanan Shopping Centre, and it was really cool! I bought some clothes and presents.
I also visited the West End. I really enjoyed that part of the city, because it has a great history.
I met some guys and we had a lot of things in common. Especially one of them was very nice.
The last day, they gave us their telephone number. They're the best part of Glasgow!
Kisses,
Lourdes
