Someone who has had a large impact on the history of my country

Venezuela’s actual president had caused a large impact in my country because he is being ruling for 13 years. He says he wants us all to be the same, for example when you have a company and you are earning a lot of money he takes your company because he says that you cant succeed more than the others and he had done that with many people, he took away their properties. He also gave energy to Bolivia, Chile and other countries for free. Just because he wanted them to say that he was a good person but he is not, while he was giving free energy to other countries we didn’t have energy in Venezuela he said to us that there was a problem with the power plant but it wasn’t true, of course. We had schedules to know at what time we were not going to have electricity in our house, it was awful. Besides doing that he donated heating oil to the Bronx, he gave that to poor people in order to be warm in winter time, I think is the only good thing he had done, but even though he did that he is not a good person.

He did like 3 years ago some “Missions” that’s how we call them, he did it to help people to get education, those missions are  educational programs, you can finish up your high school in there, or start studying a career and in 3 years you graduated. I think is good that he did that but is also bad because how can you be a doctor in 3 years? You wont be as prepared as a doctor that studied in a real university for 6 years and most of the “ teachers” of those missions are Cubans that are not really for example doctors in their country. Is good that he wants to bring everybody the opportunity of studying but he only do it because he wants them to vote for him on the elections. He buys poor people, giving them a house, some money, giving them scholarships and stuff like that and wants rich people to be poor so he takes their properties, that's how he wants us to be all the same. He wants to have the control of our lives, and do exactly what Fidel (Cuba’s President) did.

He is obsessed with our liberator I don’t know why, he is always talking about him and he thinks he is like him which of course is not true. Some people always says that he is doing spell with some wizards in a certain zone in Venezuela, but not everybody believes that I think is true because he had to do something to keep ruling the country for so many years, besides buying poor people, the last thing he did was taking away the bones of our liberator he said it was to check if the DNA was the same on his blood and in the bone. But besides doing that he also wanted to do a kind of spell with that to stay more time ruling the country. He did that last year and now he is extremely sick he has cancer so it seems that his spell didn’t work, we all hope that he is ok but we don’t want him as a president anymore. This year are the presidential elections so I really hope he wont be chosen again.

 

A venezuelan legend " The moaning"

The legend says that the moaning is a spirit of a young lady that had a romance with a soldier.  She got pregnant and gave birth a girl. The soldier left her and she didn’t know how to raise an infant, she was desperate because the baby didn’t stop crying and she killed her with her own hands. When she saw what she had done she started to cry and scream very loud, so loud that the neighbors heard and went to see what was happening. When they saw what she did they cursed her. She started running and she became a ghost, she is always crying and when she gets into any town she calls her daughter, she steals kids that are alone, in their houses or in the river, there is a tradition called “Semana Santa” that means the saint week and the legend says that she usually appears on that week.

There are some versions about this legend and another one says that the moaning was a young lady that lived in a little town in Venezuela and that every time she gave birth she killed every child, once she was in a church talking with the priest and she told him that she didn’t feel any regret for what she had done (for killing her children) and the priest realized that she was pregnant again so he told her that when she gave birth the baby she has to breastfeeding her/ he before killing it; she did what the priest said, while she was breastfeeding the baby she killed it, but just because she did that she like understood what being a mother was and she felt very guilty, since that day she is in the forests crying because of the pain, looking for her children and scaring every person that she finds.

She has long black hair, white skin and wears a long white dress and a black coat with a hood and always holding a baby on her arms, she cries and scream “ my son, my son!! “

Sometimes some mothers punish their children saying that if they don’t have a good behavior the moaning will take them or scare them in the night.

There are some people that says that the moaning
