Grecy and Kirikou's New Year Resolutions...

 Hello everybody I'm Kirikou.

I hope that I'm well known. 

To begin I would like to present  best wishes of happiness to every body for this new year 2015.

[Thank you, Kirikou. Mrs P.]
 

Indeed,I convened to you in this meeting to speak to you about new resolutions which I took about our village.

Unaware of what takes place in the village, we have no water, no land to cultivate.

The river of Marigo is very far and we don't  have men anymore now that Karaba transformed them into objects obeying her orders.

Being given  that in our village remain only two men, my uncle and the wise person of the village and the rest are women, children.

I decided to go into town to indicate to our government to send the servicemen to  free our village of this misfortune.

 
And also I would take advantage of this opportunity to ask for an audience with the Minister for Education   to be able  to build us a school so that we can learn to read and to write because the education is major especially for us young people of tomorrow.

 
I'm fed up to live in an autartic community of subsistence. It would be necessary to develop a long-lasting community, export our local products like our pottery, the gold at the same time that is going to attract the investors in our village. That would be brilliant.

Look all around us  today in the 21th century our moms do not hide their breasts, we walk barefoot, we live as savages that is in the natural state. We have to leave this natural state to be modernized. You do not realize that leaves us outside the globalization?

 
It is horrible, it is deplorable!

 
I Kirikou  do not want to live any more in this state.

 I think of my future what we are going to become tomorrow? Our community is on the way of disappearing.
We cannot let her exterminate us.

 
Karaba destroyed our village. I already know the secret of its curse when I went to my grandfather who lives at the other end of the mountain, he  told me everything  on her; we pushed  a  poisoned thorn on her back and that makes her suffer day and night.


When law enforcement will be there she will be then arrested and we are going to tear away  this nail.

 But before that, the modernity has to  invade our village with the industrial revolution, the transport, the education.  

What do you  think about that? I hand over to you to the one who wants to speak.

The wise person of the village spoke and said:

My dear kirikou child stop saying silly things, I understand you but all that you let us  be in Africa and ask for will not be realized in a slap of fingers, no my dear child.
This village is given up by our governement. Nobody takes care, they are concentrated for doing other affairs like dictature, make suffer the people. I'm against globalisation.

To what  use is  education? That will bring you  troubles my dear child.
For centuries, we have lived in an autartic life, with the subsistence economy and that for generations in generations.

 
You Kirikou and your friends you have to help your mothers going  to draw some water from the river of Marigo. We shall go to beg Karaba so that she can return us the water like that we go afire our agriculture it is good OK

And Kirikou answered and said : not matter I don't  agree with you. I'm ready to go in the city. You don't have to worry youth because you're  old and you will never understand the concern I have for our village. I want the change of life, modernity.


Suddenly the strong woman replied: eeeh dirty miserable child, you are only  small you receive notice  to tell us about your stupid things?

Elsewhere or out of this idea in your big head. You're an idiot look at you, and you want to contradict the wise?

Kirikou's mother replied to the strong woman: you don't have permission to insult my son Kirikou. He is a brainy boy you know this. He saved us when we were sick.

Thanks to him he convinced his friend to go pick some yellow flowers in the field of Karaba the witch. I totaly agree for the right of Kirikou's resolutions for the new year and I have to support his ambition.
Tomorrow I will sell the clay pots so I'll pay his bus fare. He will go away from here.

Kirikou replied: listento me please , it will be twilight soon and night will fall. We can not continue this meeting.
That is why I ask you to go home and that we are under the baobab and darkness approaching.

We will continue our meeting next week but know for sure that I Kirikou will go to the end and my dreams will become a reality...

Suddenly everybody pushed the cry of joy in honor of the courage of Kirikou . Some danced, others sang with loud cry.

To be continued.......

Grapefruit, in Dexter's mind...

Hi ! I'm Grapefruit---

I hope that you enjoyed your holidays and that you received beautiful presents for Christmas. 

My new article is going to deal with a fictional character who take new years resolutions. I chose DEXTER, of course.

I'm going to write with an internal focalization to be more realistic.

"After my holidays, like every year, I have to take new resolutions. 

The first thing which comes to minds is : to kill less. 

But, like my sister said to me, it's impossible, I will not be able to stop and I don't know how to stop... 

When you begin to smoke, you don't stop any more.

 It's the same for me with murders. 

But when I think about my son, I'm ashamed, worried... 

What is he going to think if a day he knows who I am... 

I have to be a good father for him. 

All the fathers do not kill people, I'm certainly the only one. And I'm proud of it unfortunately, it's a hobby, an habit...

More seriously, I have to buy new tools, the last time I put 5 min to slit a leg of my victim whereas usually I slit that in 30 seconds. 

That is a good resolution! 

Moreover, find a best place to hide them, yesterday my son had a saw between his hands...  

Find another place to throw the bodies too, the ocean begins to be full. 

I can also wash my car more often, during my last murder, the blood flowed because I had badly closed the bag, I have to be more professional. 

If I already did all these things, it would be very well!"

Hey everybody! What's up??? 

We have to choose a fictional character and imagine his new year's resolutions. So the one I choose is Reese, from the TV series Malcolm in the middle. Enjoy the story!

For 2 years now, Reese used to go to his favourite meeting  every Thursday. Here he found Miss Lucy and the others to talk about their fears, their wishes, their ambitions, their addictions, and anything else. 

Today is the 5th January, so it's the first meeting of the year. 

Reese has decided to share his new years resolutions with the others.

"Hi guys. So first of all, happy new year! Last monday, I was watching TV in the living room with my brothers Malcolm and Dewey, drinking some Coca.

 I suddenly felt tired so I fell asleep. 
When I woke up, I was in our bedroom's cupboard, with some tape on my mouth. My hand was attached and I realized I was completly taped on the wall! 

These idiots had put some sleeping pills in my glass to trap me! You won't ever guess how many days I stayed there... 3 days!!! 

So I had time to think. And became a better person. 

I took resolutions for this new year, and I am proud to tell them to you today. 

The first one is the one I want to suceed the most. From now on my friends, I'll be nice, yes I say N-I-C-E with my mum. 

We make her crazy day by day, poor her. 

I also want to be nicer with my brothers, but not too much. And I thought about being nicer with girls too, but I'm still thinking about it. 

So when I say I'll be kind with my mother, I also mean to stop making foolishness with Malcolm. 

I'm sure he will influence me to annoy her but I'll refuse. 

And finally, I realized school is important. 
          

I decided to work more now, I want to pass my exams. 

I feel weird, it's like I'm another person. But I like this feeling ! Right! You know everything. Thank you for listening."

No one talked for 1 minute. They were all a bit shocked. Miss Lucy finally replied:

"Wow. I'm glad Reese. I'm happy to hear you say that. I hope you will really do it. You actually look different, it scares me somehow. But that's good. Let's celebrate it!"

Game! game! game!

Explain and win a present that will make all your friends jealous!

Tommo and Gregory House's resolutions...

Hello,

For this article, the topic was to imagine the New Year resolutions of a fictional character.
I chose Dr House, the main character of a TV series, of the same name.

Dr House has a meeting, tonight, with the whole of his colleagues and the director of the Hospital, Mrs. Cuddy. They all have to present their resolutions about these New Year. Dr House is in his office and prepares his list for tonight. He is thinking .

    What can I change this year ? … Maybe stop drinking too much coffee ? Ahah no, this is frivolous and I would be more unpleasant than I already am.
    Justly, I could say that these year I would be less desagreable with my colleagues and the patients ! It is true that I can be a real bloody idiot sometimes…
    Yes but… If I tell them that, Wilson (my friend) will say something like « be realistic, House. You will always be an unpleasant idiot with people… ». What I would answer : « To be an idiot is a gift. To play the idiot is an art! »

                         James Wilson
Ah ! I found a great one ! Stop taking my pills, of course. Those aren’t good for health and for me. I take them too much, I’m going to be addicted.

    I’m certain that Cameron would say « you are already addicted, House. And it isn’t by stopping the drugs that you will put your’s problems in order ». Of course, all the others will agree with her… I could answer her that she is right, but my problems aren’t hers. And there are others ways to take care of my knee.

                           Allison Cameron

   

 I could also say that I won’t forget my walking stick anymore. Well, I looks like an old man but it really helps me to walk. If I forget it, I’m going to fall down again !
    I think my colleagues will agree with me for this resolution.

   Owh ! This is really stupid… Why will I do as the others for once ? I’ll tell to Cuddy that I haven’t find any resolutions. Anyhow, I won’t keep to them.

 Dr House put his list aside and attended to his activities.

THE END

I hope you enjoyed my article ! See you !
Tommo
