HAPPY HUNGER GAMES!

Hunger Games is set in a future age, after the destruction of North America, there are a nation called Panem. Panem is formed of a rich capitol, called Capitol City, and 12 poor distrects. As a punishment for a rebellion, every year a boy and a girl from 12 to 18 years are casually prelevated (in a harvest) and forced to participat at Hunger Games, amortal combat transmitted on television where the participants or tributs, must fight to the death, in an arena until just one survives. The protagonist of this story is Katniss Everdeen, a girl from district 12 who offers volunteers to save her sister Primrose. Other tribut (from distrect 12) is Peeta Mellark, a boy who saved the life at Katniss and her family offering a piece of bread. So Katniss and Peeta are conducted to Capitol City, where they meet the other tributs and do the interviews. During an interview, conducted by Caesar Flickerman, Peeta reveals his sentiment about Katniss , that is a way to have more sponsors (the sponsors are really importants because if the tributs haven't food or medicine, they can procure it). So the Hunger Games start, in the firts day there are 11 dead of 24 tributs, while Katniss shows her ability to hurt. In the days following there are more death of tributs but Katniss and Peeta are still alive. After a week there is a new rule who says that: two tributs of the same distrect can win, so Katniss starts to find Peeta and when she found him, he's wonded and she assisted him. Katniss acts like a lover and conquest the public. When the couple stay alone in the game, the strategists decided to change again the rule: there will be just one winner. But the couple try the suicide and hope thet strategitsts change their ideas and so it was. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are the winners of the 74° Hunger Games.

Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

A school trip - The Beatles -☺✌

Hi Liam,
Yesterday I went to a school trip in Caserta to see a musical of The Beatles, my English teacher (Ms. Esterina La Torre) organised it. In this event with us came, the 2lb, the 2c, the 2b and the 2e. We left Mondragone at 9:15 by bus and we arrived in Caserta at 10:15 while we were wating for the opening of the theatre we ate a sandwich. At 11:20 we went inside the theatre and we saw a musical, the story of The Beatles, at 12:30 we finished to saw the musical and some people asked the actors some questions: 'How old are you?', 'wgere are you from?' or 'What's your favorite song of The Beatles?' and they answered they were 21,23,25,22 and 27, they were from Galles,Liverpool, Manchester, Ireland and London and their favorite song of The Beatles was 'please, please me', 'Let it be' and 'Yellow submarine'. They were really good! I liked it so much.. ◕‿◕

Graffiti and... BANKSY! :D

Graffiti are  drawings on the walls, there are different types like: funny, dirty, terrible, colorful and original. Some people call this "artists" (who draw on the walls) "vandals". But there are people (like Banksy) who draw graffiti with a social messages! Of course there are a lot of graffiti without messages, dirty and stupid. I think the person who draw an original graffiti is really interesting, but the person who draws his name on the walls or paint on the walls of the church are vandals.
Banksy is an English 'artist'. He draws on the walls, he's very popular but we don't know who he is, because if the police know who is he, they arrest him, we only know: maybe he was born in 1974 in Bristol and when he was 14 he was already doing graffiti. Some of his graffiti have a social or political messages, they aren't dirty, vulgar or repetitive, they're colorful and original. But some person think 'he's a vandal' and other think 'he's very original'.

My favorite song ♫

My favorite song is "Without you" of Lana Del rey..

Everything I want I have
Money notoriety rivieras
I even think I found god
In the flash bulbs of your pretty cameras
Pretty cameras pretty cameras
Am I glamorous baby am I glamorous

Hello hello
Can you hear me
I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall
Boy your so dope
your love is deadly
Tell me life is beautiful
They I'll think I have it all
I am nothing without you
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you

Summertime is nice and hot
And my life is sweet like vanilla is
Gold and silver line my heart
Burned into to my brain are all these stolen images
Stolen images baby stolen images
Can you picture this
What a life we could've lived

Hello hello
Can you hear me
I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall
Boy your so dope
your love is deadly
Tell me life is beautiful
They I'll think I have it all
I am nothing without you
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you

We were two kids just trying to get out
From the dark side of the american dream
We would stay out late play our music loud
When we grew up nothing was what it seemed

Hello hello
Can you hear me
I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall
Boy your so dope so dope
your love is deadly
Tell me life is beautiful
They I'll think I have it all
I am nothing without you
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you

All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing if I can't have you.
