A letter to my friend Eduardo

Hi Eduardo:

I wish that you and your family are good.

I continue in San Antonio, it's a peaceful city close to Mexico, in this moment we are in summer and the temperature is very high all the days, the humidity is low to medium so different to our city.
San Antonio is more or less two hours from the beach but there isn't too much custom to eat seafood.

I'm taking ESL's classes on Tuesday and Thursday, we are reading the novel "The dolphin music" and then continue with "The war of worlds", both are about fiction.

The study group is very interesting because they are from many countries: Japan, Poland, Mexico and Bolivian.

In this city there isn't too many peruvians and it's a little difficult to find peruvian foods.

Sincerely,

Lucas

Chapter 6

1. Sue mentioned, "If this is how Saul behaves when a car is blown up,he's going to be useless on the journey."

2. Saul asked, "Where are we going", when they were in the kitchen after his car has blew up.

3. Ruth said, "I think I was right to choose him ..." when she was talking to Sue about Saul.

4. Into the tunnel Peter said, "... when I shut this stone, no one will ever know that it was moved. And Marrs won't bother me."

Chapter 5

1.Ruth wants to save the dolphins because they are enforced y hurted to create music.

Saul thinks that Ruth is crazy because they are in Richmond-England and the dolphins are in Matterhorn-Switzerland.

Sue is a rude person because she ignored Saul all the time.

Sue wants to scan in Saul's eyes to put them into the Music Rooms' memory bank, and he'll be able to walk into the Music Room without problem.

2. Saul will accept what Ruth is asking, because he saw the dolphins in the Music Room and how they are enforced to create music.

Types of authority

Weber described three possible sources of the right to command:
TRADITIONAL AUTHORITY
In many societies, people have obeyed those in power because "that is the way it has always been" or has been justified by religious tradition. Authority was handed down from parents to child.
CHARISMATIC AUTHORITY
The followers perceive charismatic leaders as persons with remarkable vision or god's grace. It cannot be transferred to another person.
LEGAL AUTHORITY
These systems derive legitimacy from a set of explicit rules and procedures that spell out the ruler's rights and duties. It specifies procedures by which certain individuals hold offices of power temporarily.
