Celebration in Los Angeles by Amina K.

Famous Celebration in Los Angeles

There are a lot of festivals that are held in Los Angeles during the year, but I’m going to talk about my favourite one, which is The Cinco De Mayo Festival.

Cinco De Mayo festival commemorates the Mexican victory against the French forces on May 5th, 1862. The first people who celebrated this festival were a group of Mexican-Americans and Latinos who lived in California.

The most amazing events of Cinco de Mayo are are held in L.A, like the Fiesta Broadway or a mile-strong street fair in Downtown L.A. , where there are Mexican music, that combines salsa music and folkloric dancers, games and cuisine.

I think that it is the best festival that takes place in L.A, because you can have an amazing time by watching the all the people enjoying that day.

Cry Freedom by Amina Khayat

CRY FREEDOM!

Cry Freedom is a movie released in 1987 and tells the story of a friendship between a white South African journalist (Donald Woods) and a young black South African anti-apartheid activist (Steve Biko).

The story takes place in East London, South Africa, where at first, Woods doesn’t appreciate the ideologies of Biko but with time, he starts to think that Biko’s views are interesting and starts publishing those views regularly at the newspaper.

When this gets noticed, Woods is put under arrest. Biko also is arrested and tortured till his death in custody, that’s when people from different parts of the country do a rebellion against the government.

I think it is an amazing movie because people all around the world have to know what black people went through, and still going through, because of their colour of skin.

Zodiac Sign by Amina Khayat

ZODIAC SIGN

I was born on October 2nd, so my zodiac sign is Libra. People whose sign of zodiac is Libra are born between 23rd of September and 22nd of October.

People who were born with this zodiac sign care a lot about other people and they love making justice in the world. They usually surround themselves with harmony and beauty, but they don’t do things that can cause them troubles or problems. Sometimes they don’t give themselves credit for their perceptions. They are often quiet and shy.

In my opinion, I agree with what they are saying about Libra’s, because in my case I’m usually a shy person and I care about other people. I like to help people that need me.

In my opinion, L.A is a beautiful city which is worth visiting, because you can do a lot of things there, and you have a lot of places to visit. When I went to L.A I didn´t stay a lot of time because I went with my uncle and he had to go back for some work.
