1st Term Reflections

I like very much this first term because we had done lots of new activities in our blog and we had learnt a lot with a different methode that maybe had taught us more easily the tasks that we had to do. It was very conforting to learn this way. We had practiced to do writtings and to use our imagination. I think we could have done more songs to learn more vocabulary and pronunciation skills, although we had learnt with the blog tasks. And the projects seem very interesting.

The Murders in the Rue Morgue

The narrator was in Paris and met Monsieur Dupin in a library while they were searching for the same book. Both lived together in a flat. One day they were reading the newspaper and saw that there were two terrible murders. The corpses were Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter.The room of the murders was  locked with the key inside and the windows were closed. Mr. Dupin asked the witnesses and they all said that the deep voice was of a Frenchman and the other, the shrill one, everyone said  had a different language. Nobody  agreed. As Mr. dupin was investigating, he came to the conclusion that the murderer had to be very agile and fast, and it wasn't human. The narrator was astonished with his partner. Finally Mr. Dupin solved the mistery and the murder was an orang-outang from the island of Borneo that was owned by a French sailor.

I liked this book very much because I love mistery books although I don't read frequently. In my opinion I think that Sherlock Holmes and Watson are inspired in these characters because Holmes is like Dupin: had a diferent vision of things regarding other people, and Watson is like the narrator because they admire their partners and learn from them.

The Rue Morgue Speaking

My favourite horror film

FREDDY VS. JASON

My favorite horror film is Freddy vs. Jason. Normally when I watch horror films, I try that the movies are not bloody, but with this and the whole saga of Freddy's movies I made an exception for being classics of cinema.

Freddy narrates that he is trapped in Hell, because the citizens  have forgotten him over time, because the adults have kept the current generation of teenagers ignorant of Krueger's existence, leaving him powerless to return to their nightmares. He manipulates Jason under the guise of his mother, to begin killing the children, hoping that the fear of the murders will bring his powers back. But when Freddy returns to nightmares,  realizes that Jason will not stop killing and stealing his potential victims. Freddy then discovers Jason's fear of water and uses it to pull him into a nightmare of his drowning as a child. Finally, Jason won holding Freddy's severed head. Freddy's head winks at the audience and laughs.
