Isn't this website  (www.recitethis.com) totally cool!? 

Mrs P.

At last, Somethingintheway's article on someone he admires...

My « hero »

 The person that I admire is the hero of my favourite novel “The escape from Hell” and his name is Vuk (said vouk).

He went to war to protect his wife and when he came back , he didn’t find her , but he didn’t become sad he remained proud and now he lives day to day , alone and he does what he likes the most : kill monsters with Motorhead in their head.

 

Ok, that's a short article and I must admit I'm a bit confused: does he kill monsters by making them listen to Motorhead music or does he kill them while listening to heavy metal???
You don't explain why you admire him, I'd be interested to know...            Mrs P.

 

A tribute to Papy Lulu, by Amazilena

Let's talk about "Papy Lulu"!

I suppose you don't understand who he is.
But it's easy. We had to talk about someone we admire. And you know, many persons have a name in their head like "Lady Gaga" or others, but in mine, there's first my family and I chose to talk about my grandfather.
He is 80 years old but, he's still young!
He was a baker for 46 years of his life, and now he still enjoys cooking for fun!

There are many reasons for my admiration...

For example, when he was 16, he danced with an unknown girl and while he was dancing, he thought she would be his wife, the love of his life...
And now?
They have been married for 56 years and she is my grandmother.
[she has even left a comment on this blog once!]
It's a rare and beautiful story.
This story was for the romantic part of this article....

But there's also a funny side to my grandfather... He's famous for creating a very funny cake, with an original shape... I can't really talk about it here but you can ask your parents or grandparents about a famous pink pastry in the Rue d'Auron, and maybe they'll tell you about it!

More information on the famous cake!

To sum up, I think we have to be proud about our family. And don't forget, they are actually the good example to follow, maybe more than famous people.

Thank you Amazilena for this sweet (lol!) story. I've had the chance to meet Papy Lulu, and I think he admires you too, the way he talked about you, his grand-daughter, was really moving.

And if he wants to prepare cakes for us, he's more than welcome!

Blackman on admiration...

Do I admire any people? No, I don't. Only God.

My parents taught me that we can't admire a creature like us, it can be considered a sin. We should admire only God.

We can like something or someone, but we can't "admire" someone or something.

Admiring an other person rather than God can be considered like  a sin in all religions.

A very interesting view on the subject... Food for thoughts, really.  Mrs P.

Who does Wolfgang admire???? You'll never guess!

WATCH THE THRONE!

Some will write an article about their father or mum , others about a famous people because they inspire them...

But I'm not like that .

I decided to write an article about me. Yes , about me.

You understand very well , don't worry for your eyes , you aren't dreaming .

I'm like that , a bit like Kanye West or like all these other megalomaniac , egocentric people.

As he says himself : '' You short minded niggas thoughts is Napoleon , my furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the Dodies in

Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic

He knows, he's so fuckin' gifted ''

We are many ! In France we have Michael Vendetta too !

We all have a common point: we consider ourselves like little gods .

Modesty ? We don't know that! We are overestimated. Being condescendant with people  is our passion !

Maybe one day you will belong to this private club If you arrive at our level one day...

PS : Of course all of this is ironical , don't worry I'm not like that. Keep smiling :)

Soon on this blog, a series of library related articles!

 

 

 

 

Destiny wrote an article on a book she likes...

My Favorite Books! By Destiny...   The Chronicles of the Emerged World is a recent Italian fantasy saga written by Licia Troisi, and published also in several other European countries. The trilogy is set in the Emerged World, where the evil Tyran Aster is launching a full-fledged war in order to take over the Eight Lands, and has almost taken control of all of them. The young girl Nihal, a Half-Elf (Half-Elves are considered a whole race in this setting) lives with her friends and her adoptive father in the Land of Wind, but then, the Tyrant invades. Armed with the precious Black Crystal sword and along with her friend Sennar and Laio and her master Ido, she begins her journey to become a Dragon Knight and fight the Tyrant and his army of monsters before it takes over the remaining free lands, and more. The trilogy's titles are: Nihal of The Land of the Wind, The Mission of Sennar and The Talisman of Power. The series was well-received by readers and became quite popular.    It also spawned two sequel trilogies known as The Wars of the Emerged World and Legends of the Emerged World but they did not reach the previous series' level of popularity.

The story takes place on the eights ground of the Emerged World:

Land of the wind (were Nihal was born)
Land of the water
Land of the sea
Land of Fire
Land the sun
Land of the night
Land of days
Large land (where Aster, the Tyran, took up residence on his black crystal castle).

 

Nihal is a teenager a bit special: half-elf, half-human, she has "long blue hair floating around her head, violet eyes full of life, and large ears sharp." Daughter of a gunsmith, Nihal likes to fight with other children of the "world emerged," which is now subject to the power of a terrible tyrant. Her dream is becoming a warrior recognized that will overcome evil and spread peace.
One day, Nihal loses fight against a young boy who uses magical powers. She then obtained her father's permission to study magic with her aunt Soana, a renowned magician.

Learning will be long and full of ambush, but Nihal showed courage, and met with loved ones will be useful as Sennar, another student of Soana, or Phos, a funny little elf .

Nihal's father also plays a role in the success of his beloved daughter, making her a magnificent sword crystal black, beautiful as a gem and highly efficient.

But if Nihal is a true adventurer, who fears nothing and has nothing to envy the boys her age, she can not escape, however, neither in times of great sorrow, or the hassle of adolescence: first, she must overcome the tragic death of his father.

Here it is then that falls in love with a beautiful knight named Fen, which already courting her aunt Soana ...
Licia Troisi, author of the Chronicles of the world emerged, therefore cleverly alternates scenes of extreme violence (different fighting Nihal, a prestigious school to integrate Knight for example), and passages where feelings are more prevalent as dialogues with Sennar which shows a beautiful friendship.

Despite herself, Nihal is above all human, and thus it becomes a character as touching.

Determined, courageous, sometimes violent, it is especially sensitive, generous, and began to restore justice to the world emerged.

Does she succeed?

Thank you Destiny for this article: you know you can ask the school library to buy some books, if you think they might interest other pupils... Mrs P.
