 The main theme of the article is about Daniel Spoerri, who passed away at the age of 94, and was an artist known for his concept of "eat art."  Spoerri believed that the fundamental instincts of humanity were reproduction and nutrition, so he decided to focus his art on food, stating that "survival means eating, and eating means cuisine." The article mentions his most famous work, the tableaux pièges or "snare pictures," such as his piece Le Petit Déjeuner de Kichka (1961), where he glued the leftovers of a breakfast to a table and hung it vertically. Spoerri was one of the original signatories of the Nouveaux Réalistes movement in France, which sought to blur the line between art and everyday life.

Ms. Marcela was my homeroom teacher when I was in m,y last year of school. I remember she was an excellent teacher, always well-prepared for her lessons, which were interactive, and she was always willing to help us with any doubts. Her teaching style made a real difference in how I approached learning. With her, I learned how to write essays and cite in APA format. At the time, we also had to complete research projects, which I thought were unnecessary because we were still in high school. They seemed boring and a bit tedious.

Well, this year’s national holidays were a bit different, and honestly, so much fun! I celebrated with my friends on September 17th.

After that, we headed to a party at the cousin of one of my friends, and we partied non-stop until the next day! Then, I traveled two hours to Valparaíso to celebrate with my family. The only downside? I didn’t sleep at all! It was a crazy 48 hours of drinking, celebrating, and eating non-stop—but with the best company ever. Still, around 7:00 PM on the 18th, I finally took a little break to rest... only to wake up and jump right back into the celebration! It was such an unforgettable time, but then, of course, I slept the entire next day to recover!
