Chapter 4: The tiny boat

The park was lonely. The top of the trees were moving at the rhythm the wind set. Just a little girl was playing with a paper ship in a puddle. Soon, that ship would break and the girl would leave but meanwhile she was playing there.
At the other side of the park, there was a girl who was looking for her little sister Lilith. She had been looking for her the whole day and feared that something bad could have happened to her. Although her mind was telling her that she would be fine she couldn't avoid thinking that she could be in trouble or she could have found those strange boys she saw yesterday. Those weird guys... where would they be?
-Once upon a time there was a tiny little boat... -Was singing Eve slowly while she was playing with her paper ship. Her hair was floating in the air and her eyes were crying because of the sand that was in the air.
-Eve, have you seen Lilith? -Asked Clea to the little girl. She was her sister's friend, she could know where she was.
The little kid didn't answer. She just continued singing with a lower voice and even more slowly.
-Once upon a time there was a tiny little boat, that could not, that could not, that could not sail... -Was singing Eve while she was playing with her ship. She was ignoring Clea. She didn't know where Lilith was, she didn't even care about it. That girl was always stealing her toys. She was her friend but sometimes she wishes she would disappear.
-Eve, do you know where she is? -Repeated Clea trying to catch the attention of the girl but it didn't work. Eve continued singing her song like if no one was talking to her and this made Clea really angry. Wasn't she hearing her or what?
Tired, Clea stood in front of Eve crushing her ship to catch her attention. The little girl, angry, stood up and shouted at her. It was difficult for her to make that paper ship and she had destroyed it.
-That was my ship! -Shouted Eve angrily while hitting Clea's leg.
-Where is my sister, Eve? -Asked Clea tired of that girl. Later she would make a damn paper ship but now she had to warn her sister about those kids.
-I don't know it! -Shouted Eve. -Make me a paper ship! That was my ship! I want my ship back! -Shouted Eve while she was splashing Clea with the puddle. Clea, upset, turned around and got near the trees where she had heard a noise. The guys from yesterday were lying on the shade taking a nap.
-I want my ship!
The little girl's shout waked them up suddenly making them see Clea next to them looking at them. They should be with the rest of the kids, not there.
-Hey. -Said Alex nervously. Was that girl chasing them?
-You should be with the other kids. Said Clea staring at them. She would have to inform about those kids who didn't behave as the others.
-When will we be able to do what we want? -Asked Jason smiling. He was too confident. Clea didn't like boys like that, less if they had just arrived.
-Do what you want? -Asked Clea incredulous. -Did you pay attention to the tour yesterday? You have to do what they tell you to do. When you do it, you'll be free to do what you want. What were you ordered to do? -Asked Clea waiting for an answer. An answer that was never made because the guys stood up and left without looking at her. Who were those guys?

Man in the edge

The man in the video was going to jump off a roof. He had had several problems such us the break up with his girlfriend and the lost of his job.

A man came out to talk to him but he realised that he was trying to distract him while they were preparing something on the road to avoid his death. He got really angry about that but his aim wasn't committing suicide, he just wanted to call the attention to make his girlfriend come back to him. When he was going to go back to the hotel room he slipped with the floor and fell crashing into the road.

Nuclear Weapons

Nowadays a lot of countries have developed nuclear weapons. Although nuclear energy should be used in a responsible way and just to produce energy, big countries such as the USA or Russia have used it to defend their country. It all started in The Cold War when they had to threaten the other country to not to be attacked but it hasn't stopped. Each day, more and more countries such as Iran are into the nuclear weapons thing and this is very dangerous. Nuclear weapons could destroy an entire country and cause a lot of negative consequences such as radiation and pollution.

I think that the best solution to this problem is to reduce the number of nuclear weapons. Another solution could be reducing their use as a weapon to defence another country and increase their use to produce energy.

Chapter 3: Go back with the group

Heaven's doors had just closed. Thousands of angels were touring the kids around heaven. The kids were paying attention, they tried to remember all they were told, places they shouldn't go and places they had to go everyday. They were also told legends and funny anecdotes. They were informed about the damned ones. They shouldn't talk to them.
Two of them weren't following the group, they were looking everywhere until they could escape. A group of people realised this, exactly the group of people that shouldn't see them doing anything strange, the damned. They had to keep an eye on the kids to see if someone had a strange behaviour and that was more than strange, suspicious.
A blonde green-eyed girl came to them with no expression in her face. She had pallid skin and a face full of life, something not very common there.
Once she was near enough for being heard, she cleared her throat to call their attention giving them a start.
When they saw her, the smallest one swallowed saliva nervously and that made the girl smile showing her white teeth and her small dimples.
-Why have you moved away from the group? You can't do that, you have to be with them until the end of the day. -Said Clea crossing her arms. Those kids were too old to be there.
-I'm sorry, we didn't know it. -Said the small one turning around, wishing that she left.
-We're sorry, we didn't realise it, we got distracted and the group left. -Said the boy with the long hair. He had a beautiful smile but those eyes... they were different from the rest, they were too shiny.
-I don't know where you come from guys but don't cause any problem or you will be expelled from here. Take this as an advice. -Said the girl looking at the small boy that was turned around waiting for his friend. Why didn't him turn around? Those kids were so strange.
-Thanks so much uh... What's your name? -Asked smiling the brown-eyed boy poking his friend for him to turn around.
-Clea but that's none of your business. Go back with the group if you don't want to get into troubles. -Said Clea going back with her small group that were watching the small kids.
-Alex, you're so stupid. -Whispered Jason once Clea couldn't hear them. -If they catch us, I'll kill you! I swear it.
-Man, I almost shit myself when I saw her. I didn't know what to do, I'm sorry. -Said Alex moving nervously, they were still looking at them.
-I told you that you had to let me talk. Now I'm pretty sure they suspect something of us.
-And now how are we going to escape from the group? -Asked Alex looking at the shadows. They were still there looking at them. They were really frightening.
-You've heard Clea, we can't. -Said Jason smiling. She was really beautiful and they had to be friends with her. She had to know who were the damned ones and it would be easier to find them and kill them.

Contrast paragraph

Johnny Rotten's and Rostropovich's music are very different from eachother. Johnny is part of a rock band so his music is loud and noisy. He moves a lot on stage and his concerts are wild. They use electric guitars, microphones and drums to play their music. Their audience are normally teenagers and they are normally played in pubs and discos. On the other hand, Rostropovich's music is classical so his music is relaxing and beautiful. He's normally sitting on a chair in his concerts and he plays music in a orchestra. He plays classical instruments such as violins, pianos or chelos. His audience are normally adults or old people who go to the theatre to listen to them while they are comfortably sitting on a seat. As I've said, their music genre is completely different.

Chapter 2: God save you son.

Angel's trumpets were playing on the background. Their wings were shining between the spring flower's roads. Thousands of excited angels were waiting the children's entrance from hell.
In the other side, there was a group of people, hiding in the shadows, waiting for the sinners to come in without realising they were there or even without knowing about their existence.
A few minutes later, Saint Joseph's gate was opened giving way to hundreds of relieved kids. Angels were clapping with fan palm branches the little ones' entrance in heaven while the damned were trying to hide even more.
-Come one, this is our chance. -Said Jason full of enthusiasm and nerves grabbing his friend's arm who was frightened. Cerberus would have a great feast after that. Alex didn't answer Jason, he just let Jason guide him because he wasn't able to move from there.
-How have you planned to sneak in? -Asked Alex stopping when he saw that his friend was queuing with the other kids who didn't realize what they were doing. Who would realize them when you are waiting for God's fogiveness?
-We'll go in with them, trust me. -Answered Jason. His eyes were shining. That was amazing. They were waiting the kids like if they were heros or something but hey were just sinners.
-You're crazy Jason. -Whispered Alex. He was more certain than ever that cerberus would have them for dinner that night.
-I ended up in hell for something. -Said Jason with a telltale smile. His eyes were red as burning coal and they were shining as if they were burning. If Sain Joseph's saw his eyes, he would send the guard to catch them.
-Your eyes, Jason. They are going to give us a problem. -Said Alex with a tiny voice.
-They won't look me in the eyes.
-Well, then remember Cerberus doesn't appreciate us too much. -Said Alex seeing how in two kids time Jason would have to walk in front of Saint Joseph and get the white tunic they had to wear there.
-Here we go man, good luck. -Said Jason moving his hand in front of his eyes. Alex got shocked. Jason's eyes changed from red to brown and his face became younger. How the hell did he do that?
-Next. -Said Saint Joseph holding the white tunic for the next kid. He gave it to Jason without a doubt. -God save you son. -He said when Jason had worn the tunic. -Next. -He said once Jason was in. He had continued his way, he couldn't wait for Alex. He had to follow the queue.
Alex tried to calm down before seeing the saint but he didn't manage to do it.
-God save you son. -Repeated Saint Joseph once Alex was holding the tunic. -You have to wear it to go inside. -He said when he saw that Alex was going to go in without wearing the tunic.
-Don't talk. -Jason was thinking from the queue, he could perfectly hear them. If Alex talked, he would notice that he was more nervious than usual and they would realize he was sneaking in. Fortunately, Alex put on his tunic without saying a word and went through the golden gate to, a few seconds later, join Jason at the queue.
-They didn't get us. -Said Alex with a victorious smile. He couldn't believe it.
-If you don't stop smiling, they will.

Opinion paragraph.

Nowadays celebrities earn too much money. I's a fact that when you become important you earn a lot of money by means of publicity, interviews, photo shoots, etc. It is true that when you are a celebrity you lose your privacity and there are negative points of being a celebrity but that's what they chose to be and I think that they don't work as much as they should to get paid that much. There are people who work fourteen hours a day and don't earn even the 20% of what they earn. Being a celebrity is not a hard job even though the crazy fans can be a problem but they can de4al with it. All in all, it is not fair that the get paid so much for that.

Describing a person.

Laura is one of the best friend's I've ever had. I've known her for six years and I can say I know her pretty well. She's very friendly and ethusiastic. She gets very excited about everything and she's always very happy. She's that kind of person that can cheer you up just looking at her and that's very possitive. She can be a bit freaky but she's very kind and tries to help you if she can. You know you can trust her just looking at her eyes. As I've said, Laura is a really good person and I love her.


Peer response for Elisabet Gracia.
By Laura García. 
Dear Eli, you have used a lot of adjectives. It's well seen the personality of that person. Your description is very concrete. It is also well expressed. I can appreciate you describe her with a good point of view. It is notorious you good english use. The topic sentence has been well chosen. I can guess that you are a good reader. You've written a lot of details. The concluding sentence is a good summary of the rest of the redaction. I like how you have done it. Good work!

Guernica.

Guernica has been a very important painting since it was done. For a lot of people it means destruction, pain. For me it means losing your loved ones in a dramatic way. Losing hope. It makes me feel sad too for the people who lived during the civil war. It also makes me feel confused because there are a lot of figures and irregular shapes. All in all, it shows the negative things in the world.
