It is a very good book which talks about the step of passing through being an adolecent to becoming a men. This book shows a men who does not understand the world he was living . The thing is that he had to fight with it anyways, so he started to analyze everything he was feeling, seeing or living. It is in this moment, when the little person starts to feel that he did not belong to that place, and that is why he did not feel, neither, confortable in any place. So that he decided to leave the place where he was studying, and go to different places to spend his time while he decides how to tell their family that he got expelled from his school. He lived a lot of hard experiences, this made him realise that nothing really fullfil his expectatives. After a lot of anecdotes, he realised that his place is where his family is.
What called my attention, from this book, was that he felt so lonely, that with the only thing that I can relate it to is with the absence of his family. In the whole book, his family appears like a very important subject in his life. But, sadly, the only person that is with him in good and bad moments is his sister. He never mentioned his parents, he did not even mentioned their names, so that we can infer that they are not present. Also, we can see the same thing if we think of the case that his parents left him in a private school, where he have to spend the whole week, and he just had the weekend to visit his parents. This did not happen with his brothers and sister. So maybe, he felt rejected because he did not see interest on him, by his parents.

Life Satisfaction
Flow: Is the “state” in which people feel that they do not have something to be worried about, and they just think about having a good time.
Life satisfaction: Is the feeling of being in good shape (you feel good) in terms of health, work, studies, family life, etc.
Why they are considered important?
Because they let us identify when we are feeling good, in terms of feel satisfyed with our lives. It is something that, nowadays, does not could help people to feel better wirh their lives, because, as we can see in the subway, people is always complaining about something. It let us infer that they are not satisfied with their families.
How they have been applied or what areas of life they’ve been applied to and how?
they have been aplied in some places, like companies that need their workers working happy. For example, if a company have workers who are always in contact with other people, in representing the company. In this case they need people smiling an not people who are always angry because of something.
Do you believe in this idea of happiness?
Yes. Actually, I think that if you try to dedicate time to yourself, you will notice what things make you unhappy, and you could avoid them to be happier in the future.
What do you think have been the happiest moments of your life?
I cannot say which moment of my life is the happiest one, but I can say that I am passing through a very happy moment with my boyfriend, and, in this moment, our relationship is our happiness.
Can you think of a person that inspires you in terms of having a positive attitude?
Well, again, my boyfriend. He has inspired me to see, always, the possitive side of a problem, and not just in the negative one.

Happiness And Work
- Why do you think so many people are unhappy in their jobs?
In my opinion, people is unhappy with their jobs, because there are few opportunities to study. What I mean is that education is a business for the gobernment, so that if people do not have the money to pay it, they cannot study what they really want. It is for that, that people need to look for other jobs that do not fulfil their espectations. For that reason people do not feel good with their job or motivated to go working.
- If you could choose any job, what job would you choose and why?
Well, actualy, I chose my job, and I am preparing myself to do everything I can to be a really good English Teacher. I would like to start doing classes, now, because I feel that the constant interaction with students makes me be actualized in terms of what is missing in education and act against wrong things that are there.
- Why do you think you would enjoy this job?
Because we are in a constact contact with people that do not think like us, and that gives us other things in what to think about, what is interesting and fun. The constant contact with people makes teachers to be alive, to say it somehow. That is to say, it helps in terms of being aware of what is happening around teachers.
- Why would it be a satisfying job to do?
Because teachers have to deal with too many people who have something to give them, in terms of feelings, they can learn too many things each day, and each day they receive more affection.
- Do you know anybody who has this kind of job?
Yes, too many people, and some are not satisfied with it, because they never wanted to be teachers, and they studied it because they did not have another opportunity. But, there are other who are satisfied with it and they try to do their best every day.
