We welcome Primrose...

Hi,

         First of all I am Primrose ( or Prim ). 

I think most of you already suppose I took this pseudonyme from "The Hunger Games" series.

 I chose it because, in the books, Prim seems to be the sweetest girl in the world, and I am nothing near sweet. I love what is dark, and she is just so light, almost shinny.

I live with my mother, sisters and brother in Bourges. 

We moved in almost two years ago; before that I lived near Paris. 

I like it here because there are not too many people, I enjoy the silence when I can reach it.

         I have a real passion for  reading and writing. I wanted to become a writer when I was a young girl but I changed my mind growing up, I became more realistic. I suppose.

I think I love reading because it makes me forget everything else, only a few people can understand how much it is good to just read, and stop thinking. I love escaping reality sometimes, just get myself lost in a world which is not mine, even if it only exists on paper.

This article is for my English class so I guess I will write about a British book. One of my favorite is "The picture of Dorian Grey" by Oscar Wilde. It is one of the most amazing British novel for me.

         It is the story of Dorian Grey, a wealthy young man who tries to discover the world by himself. He is really charming and attractive, but he doesn't even know himself and that's what I think is making him so different.

Suddenly he met a man who changed his life, forever.

This older friend made him explore dangerous ways into decadence. Drug, alcohol, prostitutes, simply every sins he knew. He enjoyed it, like young people who are too curious to stop discovering new pleasures. But the pain and scars he inflicted  on himself didn't affect his body, only his soul, which he sold to the devil and got stocked in a picture of him to keep his body young, forever.

I won't tell the end, I don't want to spoil it, but I recommand that book, it is a really beautiful piece of work, and Wilde was just a genius !

 To finish my presentation, just a little quote from my favorite German play, "Faust" by Goethe.

" The deed is everything, the glory nothing. "
