Norah Jones

I could not talk about my favorite writer because I don’t really have it. To be honest reading is not my favorite hobby. If I have to compare the life and writings of an artist, then I choose to talk about my favorite singer, Norah Jones.
Norah Jones was born on March 30, 1979 in New York City. Her music has a great combination of jazz, country, blues and a little bit of soul. Great musicians like Etta James, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin and Ray Charles had influenced in her music style.
In her firsts albums she wrote few songs like Nightingale, The Long Day Is Over and her hit Come Away with Me, her first multi-platinum success. Her newest album, Not Too Late has 13 songs that reflect her new freedom. You can found from typical love songs to more serious ones and even a few with political messages, such as the song “My Dear Country,” written in response to the Iraq invasion.
Her songs express intimacy. She is shy that’s why her songs are very calm. She writes “with her heart on her sleeve”. Listening to her songs will take you away. The emotion, feeling, and honesty Norah shares in every song have made her a new promise in these times where music has turned into –to me- crap.

Eliyahu Goldratt and his Book The goal

After I read a book call the goal and the Eliyahu Goldratt biography, i found a lot of common into the two reads because this writer is in focus in the factories production and he is the creator of the theory of restrictions by the way it has a lot in common with his book.

Gabriel Garcia Maquez

I like Gabriel Garcia Marquez because he is from south america and his books are about our continent and specially about latin people's life style. His book Cien Años de Soledad is a really good reference about our life style, he doesn't write just about his life but about all the people that is close to him. In this book he creates a town that is similar to the place where he grew up so thats the way he convines his book and his life.

Jorge Icaza "Huasipungo"

Jorge Icaza is one the most famous writers we have. He is known for his fascinating stories, specially Huasipungo where he criticizes the abuses of the capitalism of that time.

He was born in Quito in 1906. When he was just a little boy his father died so, his mother got married again. His stepfather was a militant, follower of Alfaro’s ideas. This situation led Icaza’s stepfather to be persecuted by people with adverse thoughts, and this family had to take refuge in a huge ranch. This property belonged to Jorge Icaza’s uncle. In this place, at a very young age, Icaza lived very close to the indigenous. He was very impressed by how the owner of the land would treat, hit and humiliate the indigenous, who worked very hard for him, starving and struggling every single day. He was witness of these never ending abuses and he also learned a lot about the native’s language which is very used in this story.

After graduating from high school he went to a medicine school but after two years he dropped his studies because he didn’t have enough money to pay for it. He became an actor, situation that gave him the opportunity to travel and discover the real situation of indigeneous in our country.

We can see that everything that Jorge Icaza lived close to the natives is reflected in this story because he gives us a lot of details about indigenous’ customs, language, etc.

Louise L. Hay

Louise is the author of El Poder esta dentro de ti, she wrote this book after she got cure of cancer just by the power of her mind. I think that people that trust in their selves can go far away than people that do not trust them.
Louise had many books where she tries to give a message after her experience, she also participate in conferences to give her testimonial to help other people that can have any trouble.
I admire her because she is a very strong women that never gives up and she always try to reach her goals. We should learn her lesson and try to get trouhgt problems and do not fell defeat easily.

Paulo Coelho, a brasilian writer, whose life had been marked by the supernatural and the fantasies thing, he had been member of several religious orders and he had studied about mystics events. This writer had centered his life in finding answers based on the fantasies, delivering to reader books with his inspiration. For that reason the books of Paulo Coelho are full of fantastics histories, at times marked with religious appointments guided by a mysticism that attracts to reader.

ERNETS HEMINGWAY "THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA"

Ernets Heminway wrote many books, but its masterpiece was "The Old Man and the Sea"; writing in 1952 and published by the Life magazine, this story I consolidate it like one one of the significant writers but of century XX, obtaining the Prize Pulitzer in 1953, and Nobel de Literatura received in 1954, becoming asi a true clasico. In this Ernets work Hemingway it describes a loaded own experience of the misticismo that shapes its very own style to make Literature that this author characterizes. Here also Hemingway retakes a remarcable style, the classic subject of the value before a the defeat, of the personal triumph removed from the loss.
