OPINION ESSAY: BRAND CLOTHES

We think branded clothes are better than other clothes, because they are more comfortable, they have a better quality, they are more beautiful, and they last more.

On the other hand, these clothes are more expensive than the rest, and there are people who cannot afford them.  Moreover some brands use children to make these clothes.

Non-brand clothes usually don’t last more, because they don’t have a good quality. They are less expensive and more people can buy them.

THE MONSTER

It was very ugly with big ears and it was wearing a t-shirt and big trousers.
I started to run while the monster chased me. When I fell into river,the stream

pushed me till I arrived to a mysterious village.

There I started to look for a telephone to phone my friends.

In a big park there were some children playing.

When I found a telephone, my friends didn’t answer their telephone and a

man said to me “You are the missing man”…

OPINION EASSYS

During many years, Lent has lost it’s importance until today. In the past fasting and abstinence practices were much more extreme and widespread than today.
For example, when we were younger, when the time of the Lent arrived we had a paper old woman with seven legs hanging on the wall , symbolizing the seven weeks. Each week we took one of her legs till easter arrived. When we arrived at the highschool we didn’t do this and now we don’t remember nearly what it was. We believe that Lent is less important today

The Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny is a fantasy character represented as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs. Originating by German Lutherans, the Easter Hare originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or bad at the start of the season of Eastertide.The Easter Bunny sometimes wears clothes. In legend, the creature carries colored eggs in his basket, candy and sometimes also toys to the homes of children, and as such shows similarities to Santa Claus, as they both bring gifts to children on the night before their respective holiday.

The idea of an egg-laying rabbit was taken to America in the 1700’s German immigrants. They told their children to make ‘nests’ with their caps and bonnets, and if they were good the Easter bunny would leave them coloured eggs.

The precise origin of the ancient custom of decorating eggs is not known, although evidently the blooming of many flowers in spring coincides with the use of the fertility symbol of eggs—and eggs boiled with some flowers change their color, bringing the spring into the homes.

 

 

William Shakespeare’s Short Biography

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was born in Stratford on Avon, in England. His father, John Shakespeare, was a businessman and a politician and was pursuited because he was christian and not protestant. The young William studied in the local school but he had to leave it because they didn’t have enough money to pay it.

William got married in 28th November of 1582 with Anne Hathaway. Around 1590, Shakespeare went to London and started to compose several poems and dramas, like Venus and Adonis. But it wasn’t until 1600 when he composed the most remarkable compositions of his carreer, including the famous drama “Hamlet” and “Macbeth”. In 1609, he wrote the 154 famous “Sonnets”, which were short poems about love. In total, he wrote 37 theater operas

Shakespeare invented many words, like  “Amazement”, “Assassination”, “Bloody”, “Road” or “Generous”.

He died in his hometown in 1616 and was buried in the Church of the Holy Trinity. He has been the most important writer in the English history and Macbeth, one of his works, is represented in a theater of the world around every four hours.
