"The Hero"

  We read the story "The Hero" and then we had to write a text explaining the most important part of the story.

The British officer said:
"He invented the story. He invented at least three-quarters of his life "

I think that this is the most important part pf the story because he discovered that all the story of Captain Campbell was false.

Review of the play "The Canterville Ghost"

         I did not like the play because we had read the book before and if we compare both, really, I liked more the book, due to its libretto. Maybe, if I had not read the book before I would have liked the play. I enjoyed the songs because I knew most of them, but I found out of context and it made me confused. In some parts the actors talked a lot and it was a bit boring.

        I don't like the play, but that's my opinion, maybe other students liked it and that's  fine. I would recomend it to students that like the theatre and that had not read the book before. 

Three Passages

1. “I became a heavy drinker, and my need for alcohol soon grew into a terrible disease.” (16-17)

Think of reasons why a person can become a heavy drinker.

2. “I stopped taking care of them [the animals] and sometimes I was even cruel to them. But I was never cruel to Pluto.” (17)

Why do you think the man behaves differently towards Pluto? Does the cat have something different from the rest of the animals or the wife? Is it special for some reason? Does it represent something?

3. “There is something strange about the human heart. We humans seem to like hurting ourselves. Haven’t we all, a hundred times, done something stupid or evil just because we know we should not do it?” (18)

Do you agree? Can you empathize (understand, feel sorry for) with the narrator?

1. A reason why a person can become a heavy drinker is because he was sad or angry for something so he started to drink and it became a habit.

2. I think that the man behaves different with Pluto because he loved him more than he loved all the other animals and the cat was his best friend. The cat was different from the other animals because he was very clever. I think that the cat represents, at the begining love because the man was googd with him but at the end I think that it represents the revenge of the cat because the man killed Pluto.

3. I agree with the narrator because, like he had said, we sometimes do stupid things because we know we should not do them, that is why I feel sorry for him.

My review of "Forrest Gump"

 
         My favourite movie is "Forrest Gump" that's why I want to make a review of it :

   It's about a boy called Forrest Gump that had a mental problem, but despite this he could9 he could succeed in the world better than any other. But before that he had to pass many proofs and sacrify many things.
   I think that in general it's a dramatic genre but it has also all the genres. That's why I think   that everybody should watch it because it doesn't matter what genre you like because this movie have them all.

Review of "The Black Cat"

                                                 

    "The Black Cat" is a story written by Edgar Allan Poe. He was a writer, poet, critic, and a romantic journalist. He was American, generally recognized as one of the universal masters   of the short story writing.
     I think it is very violent, becuase it is about a man, a mean drunk, that started drinking. I enjoyed it very much because it wasn't predictable because you didn't know what was going to happen. This man took very bad decisions. I think that all the people that like mystery and suspense stories should read it !!!

The story of my life (Anne Frank)

                                                   "Let's start with the story of my life"

 
     Today it started like every other day, I woke up at 4:30 am  and had breakfast. I ate a slice of bread
and I drank a glass of water. Then I started walking the 5 km to get to the factory. I didin't realise how nice the day was because I was trying to hury up so that the overlooker (superior) didn't hit me.
     Fortunately, I got there in time but one of my friends get one minute late and was hit by the overlooker with a cane. I felt very sorry for him but I couldn't do anything because if I opened my mouth it would be worse for both of us.
     After that we had to start working. We work until 6:30 pm but when we were about one hour to finish, a boy called John Taylor lost two fingers, a machine cut them by accident. I felt very sad about that friendly and  happy boy who now doesn't have anything "happy". I saw all the blood on the floor and I could not hold on, so I vomited. The overlooker was very angry so he made us clean everything. After cleaning we could finally go home.
     Everyone was happy to go but I wasn't. Because everytime I get home, my parents are fighting and discussing, and that makes my father angry so he retaliates on me. That's why I am thinking of scaping from here so I don't have to see my parents or that mad overlooker  anymore.
     At the moment I am  walking throught the streets escaping from home. I feel scared because now everything is strange and new, but I think I will get used.

              Now I'm trying to get asleep because I will have a long day tomorrow...
