BIO CUBE

The character of my cube is Martin Luther King. He was born on January 15th, 1929, in Atlanta, and he was defined "Untiring apostle of not violent resistance". Martin Luther King has been important because he was against the differences between black and white people, and he fought so that it was dejected in America every type of ethnic prejudice. One of his obstacles is to have been accused of driving the association that he created, in a dictatorial way.

DESCRIBE A PICTURE





In this picture I can see two people that are sitting on a sofa. On the right there is a girl, with curly hair, and she's wearing a violet t-shirt with a jeans; and on the left there is a boy with a striped shirt and a jeans. The guy is playing with the playstation and he is very happy, but the girl is really bored. Probably they're engaged and maybe the girl is thinking about leaving him, because he isn't considered her. In the background I can see the wall of a house and a black table on it there's a vase of flowers.
