· WHO WAS GUY FAWKES?
Guy Fawkes was originally from Yorkshire, he was born in 1570 and he was raised by his catholic stepfather. In the period in which he was born , Queen Elizabeth I consolidated the autonomy of the Anglican church from the Catholic Church of Rome and with her Britain became one of the most important powers in Europe.
Yesterday I was thinking about something to write
about for or blog when, surfing the Net, breaking news titled: Maradona’s
death.
Personally, I’ve never seen him play but, just by
watching his videos on YouTube, you can feel his magic with the ball at his
feet.
Since I love football, I thought I’d write an article in his honour because he is the player who first made me fall in love with football. So, here we go!
Our story is set in the peaceful countryside of Arkansas , here underneath an anonymous white lid there was an entire missile facility , the base 374-7 , with the most terrible nuke owned by U.S.A. ( the a-bomb w53) .
On 18 September 1980 some technicians should have gone there and see if everything worked properly. During the servicing one of them , made a 4 kg bolt fall down by mistake , this bolt tore the basis of the rocket and a lot of fuel started to spurt out , and here is the problem .The fuel started to sprout out because the rocket itself was relatively light and thin . Actually, most of the weight of a rocket is due to the fuel . The rocket had two tanks with two different liquids , since during a hypothetical crisis it should have set off in a few seconds. The only thing needed to activate them is that the two fuels got in contact .
But let’s go back and retrace the events.
Hi everyone! Welcome back to our blog. How are you? I’m fine, I can’t complain. Today
we're going to talk about the Internet.
Nowadays everybody uses it and it has become part of our
lives, especially in this difficult period for us students (but also for the
teachers, of course!).
The access to Internet is a human right. Therefore we urge all states to ensure free access to the network: it’s necessary to obtain the freedom of expression and opinion. One important tool , especially in countries where the media are not independent, as demonstrated by the riots breaking out there, Internet access is part of human rights; moreover, the internet has become an indispensable means for the achievement of a whole range of human rights. It helps fight inequity and accelerate the development and progress of each state.
I have a great videogame to recommend to you today, one of my best favourites at present. Have you heard of League of Legends? It is one of the most popular competitive game in the world, commonly abbreviated LoL, and it is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed by Riot Games. It has earned praise for its accessibility, character design, and production value. LoL is often cited as the world's largest esport, with an international competitive scene. The 2019 League of Legends World Championship had over 100 million unique viewers, with a minimum prize pool of US$2.5 million.
Sometimes, the protagonist is not a hero and the story has a much darker moral. Le a look at the story of Sisyphus, the man who cheated Death and was punished for it.
Have you ever heard of the “System of a Down”? They are an American band, but all the membres are from Armenia. They are an Alternative Metal band, who is formed by John Dolmayan (drums), Shavo Odadjian (bass), Daron Malakian (guitar and second singer) and Serj Tankian (lead singer and sometimes also keyboards and second guitarist).
Hi everybody, what’s up? I think that autumn and winter are perfect seasons to watch tv series, because days are becoming shorter and colder. Especially in this period, staying at home is very important to stop the Covid19 epidemy.

Hello, this
is my new post, my first one in this school year. As I did before (for siege of
Masada, for example), I tried to capture a specific moment in history, or I’d better say classic literature, in a short text, a short story full of tension
and emotions. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Do you know who Elon Musk is? He is

The story of the book
The
book speaks about Daniel’s adventure. In 1945 in Barcelona, the owner of a bookshop decides to show his son Daniel
Sempere “The Cemetery of The Forgotten Books”, a place where the people bring
out-of-print books to save them. There, Daniel Sempere
discovers a book called The shadow of the
wind by Julian Carax. This book captures Daniel’s imagination.
He
wants to know Carax and so he investigates about him. He discovers that his copy
is the last one because a mysterious figure called Laìn Coubert wants to
destroy Carax’s works. In Carax’s story, Laìn Coubert is the name of the Devil.
He
discovers a “damned” story, impossible loves and a macabre secret. This is a
story where Daniel finds out uncannily resemblances with his life.
During
the research, he knows many characters such us Fermín Romero de Torres, who
will become his best friend, Gustavo Barcelo and his niece Clara, whom he will
fall in love with, and inspector Fumero, who will be his enemy.
The shadow of the wind is the most important and most popular of Zafón’s books.
