A DRAWING, A STORY, A VIDEO: THE KITSUNE & THE MAN

Once upon a time there was a young fox living in the forest. She was as beautiful as the rising sun and even the forest's yokais were fascinated by her grace.

She had nine long and hypnotic tails that shined in the dark as if they were made of fire. At the time foxes where called 狐, and they were gifted with powerful magic, far more powerful than any other mortal could ever have.

Soon the fox, due to her curiosity, found out the existence of humans, she found them so interesting that she started exercising on shape shifting, just to be able to get along with humans.  Even though not much time passed since she started, in just a couple of days she was already able to look like any human.

Some days as an old woman some other days as a child, she walked, spoke and even made friends among humans, but one day she didn't meet a normal human, he was different to her eyes, she soon started to feel something for him.

A LESSON IN HUMANITY: WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME?

A great woman, a great speech

Hi everyone!  Recently we have seen  and discussed a touching video in one of our English lessons. It is a public speech delivered by an incredibly brave American woman,  Dalia Mogahed. She talks about equality and humanity but,  especially, about prejudices against muslims. Because she is American and a muslim and she has experienced those prejudices on herself more than once in her life. She explains what Islam is, what ISIS is,  and she says thought-provoking things that made all of us see things from a different perspective for once.

HOW ABOUT SOME VIDEO GAMES?

Nowadays video games are really popular and most teens play them all over the world.

In the past games were considered stupid, especially by adults, and even now there are people that consider games to be a waste of time or even a way for teens to become violent (you'll understand why later on).

Fortunately,  there are many open-minded people and they see games as something more than a way to have fun:  they are able to express emotions, art, philosophy and more. They are generally a great way to tell a story as well.

Today  we  - Denis and Simone -  are going to talk about some of our favorite games and why we like them so much.

Before we start, we’d like to say that Denis is going to talk about entertaining games while Simone is going to talk about games that have a great story and deep meanings.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

Back To The Future is propably one of the most famous sci-fi movies of all time! I have really loved this movie since the first time I saw it even though it is a 1985 movie. For those who don't know, this is a trilogy and it tells about a young boy named Marty McFly who has an eccentric scientist friend, Doc, who invents a car which can travel through time. Marty will have many amusing adventures with Doc and this car . As I said before the first movie was realesed in 1985 and it instantly became an international phenomenon remaining immensely popular for 30 years.

TIME FOR A STORY: A SAD SMILE

This is the third instalment of my story. I recommend you to read the first two ones,  HERE and HERE,  before going on reading "A Sad Smile".

“Don’t tell anybody. Can I trust you?”. Mark’s father said with a worried loudness.

“I promise you, yeah, you can trust me.” Mark answered.

Mark was thinking about his biggest mistake. He had trusted the wrong person. Anyway truth comes to light sooner or later. Well, ALWAYS. So, better safe than sorry. He was frightened, he lost control. What did his mistakes mean? An impenetrable trap of lies, an immense sense of guilt and a perpetual desire to put an end to it. An unveiled secret can completely upset your life, can make it a nightmare, can totally change the way you live.
