To start, I can say that the movie is a very good adaptation of the book, and I know that it is not the same but they are really similar. Now, I will tell some similarities I found and, some differences too, of these works.
A similarity that I could find was, first the dialogue, that is almost the same in all this chapter, you can read everything is said in the movie and a difference is that the dialogue of the book is much more detail than the dialogue of the movie.
More differences are when for example on the fight of Amir and Aseff, the book has a lot of details that does not appear on the movie and obviously the face mask of Sohrab, which did not appear on the movie too.
Finally, another similarity is the conversation between Amir and Assef, which is similar.

Speech
Dear fellows and partners of the farm,
Me, as the goat, friend of you, today wednesday 11th of November, I want to inform you some facts that I had investigated, so now, I will tell you the problems, the solution, and I will also try to change your mind or thoughts.
To start this speech, I could investigate the majority of the things because I listened conversations of the pigs and the worms or dogs, in an under-covered situation, I was hidden in some sectors of the farm, for example, Boxer was killed because his ideology was against Napoleon's ideology, and Napoleon could wash our brains with his thoughts and ideas, and we only trusted in his ideas, that was a mistake, a big mistake. An other example, was when he took away the rights of the hens, Napoleon obligated the hens to passed to him their eggs to sold them, so the hens didn't accept that and then, they were killed. I personally prefer this farm when we were in charge with the humans.
The solution that I propose, is to get united and to be against Napoleon and to start a revolution to all of us, to be the leaders of our farm, the animal farm, not Napoleon's farm. I need your support, the support and faith of every animal of this farm to topple the villains.
I hope that what I am telling to us, you could keep it in your minds and also you can support me to create the farm that all the animals want, a family.

Correction
Rationale:
The novel " The Kite Runner " of Khaled Hosseini basically is about the life of a kid ( Amir ) who lives in Kabul, Afghanistan and the different episodes that happened in his life, how he grew up and the changes he confronted, for example when, they escape from Kabul to California because of the war.
The letter that I will send is about a lot of events that ocurred in the novel and Amir wants Ali to forgive him because of all of the damage or hurt he caused in the past, and he had very regretful feelings because of these.
With this text I want to reflect the feelings of Amir, because of hiding important things or events and also I want to reflect the miserable life that Amir has relating it in aspects of interior feelings.
In this text I will express with the letter, the hidden afects that Amir has for Ali and Hassan. The letter is the more appropriate text type to use in this situation, this is because that was the only way that Amir could communicate with Ali, because Amir is in California and Ali in Hazzarajat. The audience is a character that appears in the novel, I already named it, his name is Ali, and I will write this letter in a semiformal register, because that was the way that Amir talks with Ali.

After I cut the last kite, Hassan and I were very happy, we were excited because of what we had done, so you know the respect and the loyalty that your kid had to me, The problem started here, he said to me this: " I will run on this blue kite for you". I answered to him: " Take care and please bring that kite back ".
He started to run, looking for the kite, but the time passed and passed, and he didn't come back, so I felt concerned and I went looking for him. I saw an old man and I asked him if he had seen Hassan, he answered to me that three guys were running behind him, so I went rapidly to a close street and there were Hassan with the kite and Assef with his friends. They wanted the kite but Hassan said to them that the kite was mine. In summary, they started raping him and I ran away, because I was scared, they had never saw me. It never was the same. I couldn't realize what really happened. I couldn't look to Hassan. The only thing I wanted, was to stayed alone and to never be again with Hassan, to forget all that horrible episode and for trying to be a better person.
After my birthday,I saw from the window that Hassan and you went to buy some things out, I took advantage of that situation and I went to hide Baba's gift, my clock under the pillow of Hassan, that was the only though that came to my mind in that moment for separating your son of my life. I told Baba that I thought that Hassan stoled my new clock, and you know the rest of that success, you knew that your son was lying and what I tried to do, and I also knew that Hassan would lie for me.
Well Ali, I understand if you understand if you don't want to forgive me, because is obvious, but recently now, I can realize what I did, my life is a chaos, I can't stop thinking in all the bad moments that I caused and the selfishness and the jealousness that I had in those moments. Lamentably, I realized these late, I couldn´t do it before and I am very sorry for these. I have a lot of regretful feelings, and this was the only way to get rid off, because I am living in San Francisco and I can't go to Afghanistan.
Finishing, I hope you can forgive me one day, and Hassan too, I don't wait for an answer, the only thing that I want is to keep this letter to yours and finally I must apologise to you, because you have all my respect.
I hope you have a great life there,

4.- Last year, I was a witness when a group of 10 students approximately, of fourth medio started to bothered a chinese classmate, because of his race and where he is from. They shouted chinese words in a mock tone only to make him put in a bad and uncomfortable situation.
5.- I asked Milko Rajcevic, what is racism or discrimination.

" Times change, we need to change as well". This quote was said by Francois Pienaar, the captain of the "Springboks", in the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The captain motivated the team saying these words to get the best out of them, and it was a relevant act in the story. This movie, is my fauvorite ine, because it leaves me with a lot of life-learnings and I also learned with it, that you can forgive people who have betrayed you, in order to be a better person, and if I refer to the movie, to unify South Africa.
Nelso Mandela was sent to prison, because he was one of the black people who wanted the union in the country, he stayed in a little cell during 27 years. when he was released from prison, he presented himself as a president candidate. Then, he was elected. The rugby in those times was very important in relation to unite the country, because it was the only way to mingle the white and the black people, having only one purpose, cheer the Springboks up, that were playing the rugby world cup in their country. So, that wasbthe most important in order to stop the 2Apartheid2, to have a reason or motivation to unify the country, in this case, the rugby.
Summarizing, the movie started when "Madiba" was released from prison in 1990, he was passing between a rugby field, where were only white children playing and in the other part, black children playing football celebrating Mandela´s come back. The new president started thinking in how to unify the country and he realised that with the rugby he could do it, because it have a lot of values and it teach players the concept of teamwork and how to applied it. After that the president, invited Francois Pienaar to drink a cup of tea and principally to ask him and motivated him to win the world cup to unify the country and stop the racism. Yhe rugby team started to think and they could realize that all the team could make a change. Since they have there thoughts in his mind, they went to a town where only black people lived there, and they taught houw to play rugby to all the boys who wanted to learn rugby skills. After that, black people started to cheer the Springboks, because of what they did with the black boys and also, some people started to realize that they were in one country, not in two separated parts in the same territory.
I invite you to see this movie, because here you would realize and learn how a man who was abused, could forget everything and try every possibility to have a good, pacific and united country, and finally, he did it for the country's wellfore, not for him. Another good component of the movie is that it have great sound effects, the actors were the right ones, they never had a mistake and the climax is very clear to the audience

photo description
In this picture, there are rugby players of the springboks, the south african team and black skin boys in a football field. The rugby players are teaching the boys how to play rugby and principally, basic skills, for example, here I can see how Francois Pienaar is teaching the adecuated pass of the ball and also how to received it. All the players are wearing training clothes and the boys different clothes, but all of them are green. The springboks looks very happy training the children and the kids are concentrated in what they are doing, they are focused on the practice because they don't want to lose the opportunity of practicing with the south african rugby team.

Opinion Essay
In this essay, I will be discussing the following issue: "It`s not worth combatting Global Warming, we should learn to live with it". I disagree with that vision, I am against it because I think that the world can be educated with the purpose of changing the people`s lifestyles in order to find a solution for this problem and stop with it, also for have green life, that means, a clean world, otherwise in an unknown future we won`t be able to live. I am writing about this topic, because it is a relevant problem that we have around the world that is affecting our lives. I will examine and give supportive opinions my view and another one from an opposite view.
First, what causes global warming is carbon dioxide and other types of air pollution, trapping the sun`s heat and that cause the planet`s warm up. An example of this is that, coal-burning power plants in United States, are the largest source of CO2 pollution, about 2.5 billion tons a year. But there are solutions like to put to use modernize power plants that generate own electricity from clean and nonpolluting sources, among others according to Natural Resources Defense Council(www.nrdc.org).
Another important thing to know is that the Earth is getting hotter, in 2003 extreme heat waves caused about 20.000 deaths in Europe and also 1.500 in India. What scientists say is that those events are "alarming sign of events to come". Since the 50`s in parts of the Cascade Range in Oregon and Washington, is declining the snow accumulation and winter seasons have shortened. In the Arctic, the polar ice cap, declines a 9 percent in ten years. this facts are only examples of the horror that cause the global warming that can be changed if we set limits on global warming pollution, invest in green jobs and clean, drive smarter cars, like electric ones and breaking our oil addiction, create green homes and buildings, making building more energy efficient and build better communities and transportation. All this information is on the same website (www.nrdc.org).
On the other hand, we know that the humans emit greenhouse gases(GHGs) every day, there are many, responsible of global warming and it is inevitable to stop it because we need to make the things that provoke greenhouse gases diary. Examples of this are, the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, the power plants, the factories, electricity production. The gas responsible is carbon dioxide, but there are more, like nitrous oxide, methane that are very common too, the last one can be find it in the area of agriculture and it cause 20 times the warming that cause CO2.
In conclusion, I can say that it`s worth combatting global warming, because there are many ways to live with it and for finding new solutions to the problem, the world have to put on a new lifestyle for improving their lives and believe in themselves that they can stop the pollution and this problem in the world.

Los Abedules 1075
Bosques de Montemar, Concon
Mayor of the city
Municipality
Concon
15 May 2014
Dear Mayor,
I am writing to you on behalf of all the neighbour community, because we got very surpised with the new project, that Vimac company is going to perform, an enormous mall, the biggest one of the country.
I want to ask you, why did the municipality didn't inform us or ask for our opinion about it. Summing up, i am writing to protest about this idea, because we are angry and we think that this project hasn't been started for many reasons.
It is important for you to know that the children of Bosques, play all days football, they run, ride in bycicle, among other type of games and activities in the street, were the mall will be constructed. So it is unacceptable for us to change our diary activities because of this construction.
Another reason that we have to protest, is that our neighbourhood is very peaceful and serene, so if the project is accepted, then will be more dangerous for all the families, because the traffic of people will increment.
I hope you take in consideration this arguments and also an answer to keep inform the community
