Karadima, The lord of the underworld

 Name of the book:
Karadima el señor de los infiernos / Karadima the lord of the underworld

Name of the author: María Olivia Monckeberg

This is a book of investigative journalism about the priest Fernando Karadima.

In the book we can read about the traumatic experience for the abuse indecent of the victims to the priest Karadima of the church El Bosque.


The pages of this book show as a real chain Karadima to support him. This help him to this crime has keep in the time and the church of the Santiago. Only the Vatican can make stop. Before the Chilean justice.

I write about this book because I'm reading now. Is a very interesting. About a real story of the people, boys and man that have to suffer for long long time, and they keep in silence for the fear to be discriminated against



This is the first time that I read a book of investigation, because normally I'm not interested in this kind of book. In fact the book is not mine, actually is to my mother. But my mom don't have so much time for read, because all his time is the school and with his students.

Read this book make me think about the power of some people that use to others for his own benefit. This men make use of his power in others more shy, more small or just more ingenuous. This book about the evil, for the voice of the brave men that want to make justice over this dark history.

Picasso, Matisse and Monet paintings stolen from Dutch museum
Neither the police nor the museum were immediately able to put a value on the haul, but the theft is one of the art world's most dramatic in recent years and will likely be worth millions.

Picasso, a and Monet paintings stolen from Dutch museum.

I choose that article because it tries to explain the robbery in a museum. Dutch police said on Tuesday that painting of famous artist have been stolen from the Kunsthal museum overnight, in Rotterdam.
Seven painting was be stolen. Differents works by Paul gauguin, Meyer de Haan, or Matisse were in the paintings missing.
The prize of that paintings is unknown. The police and the people that work in the museum has been incapable of put a value on this artistic treasure.
In the artistic and audiovisual aids this theft is one of the most dramatics in years

Why did I choose to study art?

When I was studing at the school, I wanted to study literature but I never understood very well this  career.  When I was 17 years old in my last grade at school, I decided to study art  and only art because nothing else caught my attention. Even now I don't know what other career I could have studied

Art always has been beautiful to me. Art was my favorite class at school in all my school years. I made this decision in the last year of school. However my parents were angry of my decision but they didn't show it.

I have always love the Art. But the last year I had a little problems. Because I didn't wanted to painting my works. Painting was my hobby and suddenly painting was my duty and obligation.

Now I come back to be in love with the painting and the colors.

After the first semester I'm happy with this decision.

When I graduate at the university I want to study other careers. I want to start teaching art in this university or in other university of the state. If i could I want to work in a school with children and make my own work of art in my own studio.

My best holiday



My best holiday so far have been with my schoolmates.

My friends and I traveled to Valparaiso for one week.
I have traveled for others places of chile, but never to Valparaiso and this place is next to Santiago.



Valparaiso is so beautiful. The streets are painted with big murals that the chilean artist make. The city was built in the hills, and walk for them is so difficult and tiring. But the prize is when you are in the height or in the centre of the city, because  is very big and funny, and you can see all the life that born in this places.


We did these travel in the summer 2012. In january because there are more sun and more people in the beach. We are five people so we don't spend so much money. This holiday was very funny, because we get up in the morning with calm, we had lunch and we went to the beach. Then in the night we go out and go to the pubs or to bonfires on the beach.

This holiday were so good because I spent time with my friends of the school. They still be my friends.
