Twilight

Twilight is an American novel , written by Stephenie Meyer , released in 2005. It is the first book of the Twilight series which contains 4 books : Twilight , New Moon , Eclipse and Breaking Dawn . The story begins when Isabella "Bella" Swan , the main character, leaves Phoenix and moves to Forks , a small town in the state of Washington , with her father . Bella , 17 , isn't really happy in Forks but then she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen and her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn turn because after falling in love with him she founds out something nobody knew about : Edward is a vampire . After this stunning discovery Bella realizes how dangerous for her Edward might be be and that being with her true love, her soul mate seens impossible . This book was impelling , I read its 434 pages in a week and the whole series in 3 months since I was really into the story . I liked the way the book is written , we see the story from Bella's eyes and it makes it interesting to know , besides the vampire story , her thoughts and feelings about her everyday's life . At first I was a little bit reluctant to read Twilight because of the vampire part but it turned out that it was more a love story than a fantasy novel . Moreover the characters , like Edward , Bella , their family and friends , are really likeable which makes the story even more captivating and it encouraged me to read the other books .

"Harry Potter: The order of the Phoenix"

Harry Potter's novels were written by J.K ROWLING, are my favorite books. I like, in this kind of books, the strange atmosphere which comes from the magic. That novel is based, like the others, on fantasy, an area that fascinates me indeed.

Several weeks into summer, Harry has heard nothing from his friends or from the wizard.
Finding himself walking down a street with his cousin Dudley, the two of them are attacked by a pair of Dementors. Harry drives them off with a Patronus Charm, and is surprised to learn that the Dursleys elderly neighbour Arabella Figg, is a Squib and has been keeping on Albus Dumbledore's orders. On returning home he immediately receives a notice of expulsion from Hogwart for using magic outside school: The history starts.

I liked The order of the Phoenix very much. As usual, the story is incredible: The order of the Phoenix is a very old community created to destroy Lord Voldemort.
Harry joins the order like his parents did. I like the way whose J.K ROWLING wrote this like the others, it's magic.

In this book, Harry is getting bad as usual, and he manages to go through these situations, as he does everytime, that's why I like this book very much.

I think that my favorite moment is when Sirius dies: Harry ans his friends are fighting with dark magicians, Sirius comes. During the ensuing battle, the glass sphere that Voldemort was seeking is accidentally dropped and shatters, and the record is lost. However, just as Dumbledore arrives in person to help, Sirius is blasted with a spell by his Death Eater cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, and falls backwards through a mysterious veiled archway. Lupin restrains Harry from going after him...

To my mind, the moment when Sirius dies is rich in emotions, it's because of that it's my favorite moment of the book.

MY LIFE


The morning i was young and carefree
Young like a flower which was born a spring morning
I didn't know evetything about life
But I followed the way chosen by my parents


The afternoon I'm growing up with a bigger experience
But I have in an hard peroid of my life
I don't always were the good choices
But I follow the way that i chose


The night I will look at my life from the morning
I'll remember the good and bad memories with a nostalgic smile
Perhaps i will regret some of my choices
But I'll follow the way and choose my life

A story

I, too, tell a story
I am in the early mornig, the little darling
They tell one to stop watching TV
When my mother and my father come
But I laugh
And watch the show
And grow stong

Tomorrow
I'll sit on the sofa
When my wife and my children come
Nobody'll dare
Say to me
"swit choff"
Then

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am and they'"" sit down with me, swit choff
I, too, have a story

I was, I am, I will be

I was born as the one
When I grow up, we were two
My friend, and the other were my third
Today I'm waiting for the fourth.

Now, I'm a teen, and I'm going to have teens' problems
Now, I know that the fallen soldier is not going to walk again
Now, I'm scared about the future, the problems which nobody can name
Now, I know that the world gona be the same.

I'm going to live my life as I am
I hope you, my friend , with always stay the way you are
Hope, the world we'll be better when I leave,
This had to be, the end of my life.

Poem

The sound of the sea
Th warmth of the sun
The things I have done
are becoming a heavy load .
I know the feeling
I'm standing here, waiting.

The time will come
And time will be cruel.
You might be standing next to me
As will rise the moon .
Your bright , flashing smile
will wipe away this puzzling
state of mind .

I will be an Indian

Today,

I am their foreign sister

Who says she is an Indian,

Without '' knowing her culture''

Without '' knowing her values ''

Just watching Bollywood's films

And danscing with the kurta

Tomorrow,

I'll be their sister

Who will say '' I'm an Indian ''

By knowing her culture

By knowing her values

I will wear the kurta, my Name

With Pride...

Going further


Today, i must go to school.
I am a willful student,
But some what lazy,
And wat to succed ;
When "angel maker" i become
And i'm in limbo,
And i'm waiting for time to go.

By tomorrow,
I'll do my job.
So,i want to succed ;
When midwife i becaume.
No one will dare
Say me
"You will not come back ",
But i will not hear them.
And i'llpursue my strivings,
And, one day, i'll say too

"Today, i must go to work,
The newly infants wait to be born."

Yesterday, today and tomorrow

Yesterday, I was born,
So, I started my life calmly,
I built my life to be a good boy,
I was who I was...

Today, I want to feel alive,
So, I enjoy every moment of the day,
I'm striving myself to be a good man,
I am who I am...

Tomorrow, I will like to rest,
So, I will calm down waiting for the end,
I will strengthen my mind to be a good soul,
I'll be who I'll be...

Have been, be, will be...
Three steps of my life simply summing it up,
Without details, a life could be written on a piece of paper,
I was, I am, I will...


CHAALANE Hassane

I chose one book in English in the library at school.
This was Nine stories by J.D Salinger. There are nine short stories which J.D Salinger wrote and these novels were first published a newspaper.
The two stories which are famous are A perfect day for a bananafish and Uncle wiggily in connecticus.There is one film on this story it's My foolish heart.
J.D Salinger is famous especially for his story which is The catcher in the rye. I've already read this book.I like it.
I like his way of writing.It's original and good. We can identify with the characters. Like in Nine stories there are nine different stories, which are about war, friendship, trust, artistic life, dinical depression... .
There are about the common problems in life.It's very varied and this book can please everyone.
In the whole book I prefered reading A perfect day for a bananafish.I was surprised by the end
I like this book, it's strange sometimes but it's its charm.

Cry Freedom

"Cry Freeedom" by John Briley

During my summer break last year I read Nelson Mandela's book "Long walk to freedom". I was really aware of the situation in South Africa during apartheid in the XX century and non violent movement for the equality of rights between black and white people. The movement was conducted by the new generation of slaves such as Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko in this book which represents the black youth who want to change their life. There were also whites involved in the movement and "liberals" such as Donald Woods. They liked the advantages of being white (nice car, big house with pool and black maides) but criticized the system which was unfair to blacks with the raid in their neighbourhood.

Biko and Woods met. Biko changed Woods conception of life, by bringing him to black townships. That's what is beautiful about this book. Despite their skin color and thoughts, especially on Woods behalf, a true friendship was shaped.
After Biko's death Woods didn't belief in the change. It grew stronger. He was as determined as ever to change South Africa. In some parts, especially towards the end, I felt like the story was rewritten with Woods in Biko's skin, at the head of the "Black Consciousness".

The book stresses on a part of the apartheid which is the movement of the equal rights for the people of Southe Africa; black and white hand in hand.
After acknowledgement I can say that the black condition is much better than it was 10 years ago in South Africa. Indeed Nelson Mandela bacame president in South Africa in 1994 and Barack Obama bacame president (elected) in the United States of America where slavery is part of the American heritage.
Black people have come from far and had to struggle join by whites like Woods whose spirit evolved thanks to Biko.

That's the reason why I enjoyed the book so much because it makes you think about the true meaning of the word "humanity" and its emancipation throughout the decades. Love and determination are the keys to anything as well as hope.

Sugar and Other Stories

Antonia Byatt was born in 1936, in Shieffield , England. She was a journalist and wrote novels . Among these acclaimed novels we can find Shadow of a Sun and Still Life.
Sugar and Other Stories contains eleven short stories , which all basically deal with love , fear
and relationships between people . I chose this book because I usually like short stories and the
subject of those seemed interesting . In the story Racine and the Tablecloth the main character is Emily Bray . Emily is a kid who lives in a boarding school , she is a very intelligent girl but has no friends , maybe because she's kind of an early feminist in a catholic school . She grows up there and the headmistess , Mrs. Chrichton-Walker , seems to hate Emily in a way which has no sense because the girl is only fourteen . Emily Bray's character is very interesting because she's complicated and somtimes acts in a weird , almost absurd way .
The July Ghost is a story about a man who was just dumped by his girlfriend and he can't get over it . The man needs another place to live so he rents a room in a woman's house . The weirdness of the woman troubles a little the young man but when he gets to see the husband , he kinda understands it . Noel , the husband, is a journalist who is pretty much never home and when he finally comes he fights with his wife . The young man ,who is a writer , has a lot of work to do therefore he decides to sit in the wonderful garden but children keep bothering him with their screams or their lost balls they'd like to retrieve. By a beautiful summer day , the writer's attention is caught by a kid who lies on the branches of a tree next to the fence of the house , the kid has beautiful blond hair and a smile that illuminates the place . One day the young man sees the boy leaving the kitchen as though it were his home , so the man decides to talk to the woman about it . She says that it must have been a friend of her son who died in a car crash . But when the writer describes the kid an expression of horror appears on the woman's face : it was her lost son he saw on that tree . Since then woman and the young man have a weird relationship because she usually was a strict woman but now she often cries or shouts as if the "ghost" seen by the man had driven her mad . The madness and the grief of the two characters is touching and makes the reader think twice . The characters of each one of the stories are unpleasant ,weird,touching, lovely or shocking.

BLACK BOY

I chose this book because I had never read this book and the title " black boy " understated , it was about racial segregation in America .

I liked this book because it's an autobiography by Richard Wright , and we can feel the fears and fright of an American black child during racial segregacion .

The social relationship between Richard and his family was interesting , the social relationship between the whites and blacks in the south was interesting too , this book was also interesting because we can see how a young child was born in an underprivileged class and how he could manage to take care of his mother who fell ill and of his trip to the north of the country .

Therapy of David Logde

To begin with, when I began to read the first pages I didn't like this because there were many descrpitions which I didn't understand the sense and the worst was, I wasn't able to distinguish if the main character was a man or a woman. And the more I read the passage over and over,the more the novel began to annoy me.
But as I advanced in my reading, I appreciated the book. So, I Knew that the character was a man who presented his life in the form of a persnal diary without any modesty. It was a man who had succeeded in his private life together with his professional life which was going to be upset by may events.
However, this novel finished with a good ending given that Lawrence got up and started from a new. I would like to tell something about this novel , according to me . I think that through the character Lawrence we can find a morality . The morality is even if you have many problems which annoy you, can surmount then and succeed.

Book: Harry Potter and the prizoner of azkaban

I chose this book because I like Harry Potter. I've ever seen Harry Potter's movies but I've never read these books. I like Harry Potter because it's not only a story of witches but we also see love and friendships between the characters. This story of Harry Potter's different from the others because there're a lot of new characters, like Sirius Black, the teacher Lupin..
I also like newthings like the magicbus, there back at the end of the book, different places where the characters are because those places are places that we've never seen before.
But there're several things that I didn't like. For example, the new Hagrid's house and his pet who is big and uggly.
I think this story's interesting but very long, too long. And for the children, I think it can make them scared, even if Voldemort, who's the meanest character, isn't very present in this story. I'd already seen the film Harry Potter and the prizoner of azkaban ,so I wasn't suprised by the story, but I appreciated it though. It's a little bit different from the film and I think I prefered reading the book.
