 A Frightening Experience

Last night, at 3:20 am,while I was alone in my house, something weird was happening upstairs. I heard noises coming from there, They weren't common noises, they were mysterious and terrible. I feltparanoid, as if someone wanted to hurt me. My bedroom was on the second floor, and I was frightened of going up. Later, at 4 am I was sleepy and I decided to go up and asked my self "what is going to happen? What can those strange noises be?" I took courage, got a knife and went upstairs. While i was going up, the noise came louder . I was walking fearless. However,  in the inside I was dying of fear.
 Now, I was on the second floor and I realised that something was moving in my room, it was a shadow behind the door. I felt insecure of getting inside my room as I didn't know what was going to happen. The door opened inmediately alone. I took a deep breath and went in. The door closed behind me. There wasn't anyone I could see. I raised my head and saw amalicious and scuffy creature, he went down and stood up in front of me. I was terrified, I was like a rock, I couldn't move until he said
"Let the game begin"
Who who are you?- I said stammeringly.
-It's better for you to start running- said with an arrogant voice. Without doubting it I rushed away searching for something that would save me. Fortunately his hands couldn't move faster even than a turtle. When I got to know where I was, I was already looking at the floor and I felt something grabbing my leg while saying:
"No choice, we will play" and then I realised I had no way out.

Una decisión difícil

El cronometraje "En el lado de la vida" esta relacionado con el texto "Ponte en su lugar" de Fernando Savater mediante que la madre de la mujer fallecida en el video, decidió donar los órganos de su hija para ayudar a otra familia que estaba sufriendo una situación parecida. La madre logro ponerse en el lugar de la otra familia, comprendió la situación pese a las diferencias sociales que enfrentaban.

El titulo "En el lado de la vida" lo pensé en manera de que la madre se puso en el lado de la otra mujer que atravezaba la misma situación que corria riesgo de vida. Y el texto "Ponte en su lugar" esta relacionado ,ya que, en mi opinión, el autor (Fernando Savater) explicó que pese a cuantas diferencias sociales puede haber, hay que tener conciencia, que los humanos se tienen que poner en lugar del otro.

En cuanto a la donación de órganos, existen los actos sociales y actos de medicos. Los actos sociales es la decisión que toma la persona o un familiar para determinar una decisión muy difícil para elejir donar los organos de su familiar fallecido o de él mismo. El acto médico es la ablación, es decir, cuando extraen el órgano para luego implantarlo en el ser humano que lo necesita.
