One of the articles I read is about a professional woman who had a prosper job position in Wall Street company. This woman narrates her experience as professional and mother. She have to deal with the difficult decision of leaving her career dream aside and take care of her baby or do both thinks at the same time. With the help of her husband and people surround her, she made possible to succeed in both fields. He article is a narrative article which counts her life and is written in different topics. From the beginning she recounts her achievements as professional, then the difficulties of being pregnant and not able to work at the same capacity of before. The narrator also mentions the people who were always with her, such as, co-workers and relatives.
The other article is about teenager girls that get pregnant at early age. Due to be mothers without experience and support, Teenagers have to quit school and stay at home. This circumstance makes teenagers being exposed to physical abuse by her partners and dependent of them. This article was written by a journalist that uses data to show the audience the percentages of staying at home teenagers.
The third article criticize the role of women that during decades have being the ones that take care of their husband and children, making women very hard going to work and being able to get a career.

BLOG No 3

It was very difficult to make a decision to choose the topic which I am going to write about it. I was debating between Mothers and Pentecostal Costumes; however, I have decided to write about the topic of Mothers going to school. It is much easier to write about a topic that I know from experience, and which I have more affinity to it. I will narrate my life, as an example, and I will explain how hard is for a woman to be a mother, housewife, student and worker. I have been searching information about statistics that shows the percentage of mothers going to school. In addition, I was searching the percentage of mothers who are still taking care of their children at home and who could not fulfill their dream of completing a career. Also, what are the social expectation about mothers and what implies as a family? On the other hand, I am not sure yet where can I post my article. It can be in webzine or Wikipedia, I will appreciate if you give me an advised regarding to.
Thank you, Jenny Cordova

Literary Journalism is an art that only the people who like writing can do it. However, the author explains in his book that there are many news journalists who have learned the art of writing by reading others authors books. This makes an interesting point, that everyone can be a journalist. There are many journalists that trough their articles and journals have motivated others to become journalists. Being a journalist as the author state in his book, implies a hard work and contribution from new journalists. I also learned that that there are many kinds of writing in literary journalism such as, ideas that become a fact by writing them down, irony articles, and criticizes articles which are written in magazines using the life of artists and famous people as the central topics. In addition the narrative articles and the story telling writings narrate the life of a specific person who can be from the past or present, written in a fiction feature or as biography. Learning, nowadays is very important because we can do whatever we want if there are people who encourage us with their knowledge and help us with their literature and experience.
