the simbolic anthropology is refer to the role of the imaginary in the society and how the people andertand their enviroment and the actions of the other people, he said that the funcion of the culture is giving sence and to the world and make it more conprenhensive. so the work of the anthropology is try to interpret the key simbols of the culture in a proces that is call thik description

the earthquake

so, i`m here writing about hte moust coment thing in to the last month
that night i supost to be in to a disco but i didnt have my identit card and i had to stay at home
( i was in viña), i was sleeping in to the sofa "watching" the viña festival, so when the movement start i sitdown waiting to it stop, but it didnt, sudenly my mother appears i she told me to go with her, tho the loby whit my litle sister and a friend of her.
i was never afraid, because i cant belive that i was living an eartquake, so when the light go down and the things start taken out of they places i realise of what was realy hapening.
then i told to my mother to go out and go to the hill because of the tsunami, because we know nothing (the intensity, where was the epicenter?) so i convince her and we ( my parents, mi litle sister, her friend and i ) star walking, we walked a lot, until we feel that we where safer, and then the waiting start with a lot of other people that we didnt meet, as or more scarder than us, we stills reamins in uncertain anybody has a notice, or know any information.
the celphones didnt work, my probably try to comunicate with my cousings a hundred of times before we can get it only there we realise te size of the tragedi.
that was a very long nigth , but also a nigth to lernt and be more prepeared to the future.
