BULLY
Justice was done and the teacher expelled children who were doing damage to Teresa.
Since that day I saw my cousin with a majestic smile and her face shone of hapinness.
CALL OF THE WILD - SUMMARY
Buck, a powerful dog, half St. Bernard and half sheepdog, lives on Judge Miller’s estate in California’s Santa Clara Valley. He leads a comfortable life there, but it comes to an end when men discover gold in the Klondike region of Canada and a great demand arises for strong dogs to pull sleds. Buck is kidnapped by a gardener on the Miller estate and sold to dog traders, who teach Buck to obey by beating him with a club and, subsequently, ship him north to the Klondike.
Arriving in the chilly North, Buck is amazed by the cruelty he sees around him. As soon as another dog from his ship, Curly, gets off the boat, a pack of huskies violently attacks and kills her. Watching her death, Buck vows never to let the same fate befall him. Buck becomes the property of Francois and Perrault, two mail carriers working for the Canadian government, and begins to adjust to life as a sled dog. He recovers the instincts of his wild ancestors: he learns to fight, scavenge for food, and sleep beneath the snow on winter nights. At the same time, he develops a fierce rivalry with Spitz, the lead dog in the team. One of their fights is broken up when a pack of wild dogs invades the camp, but Buck begins to undercut Spitz’s authority, and eventually the two dogs become involved in a major fight. Buck kills Spitz and takes his place as the lead dog.
With Buck at the head of the team, Francois and Perrault’s sled makes record time. However, the men soon turn the team over to a mail carrier who forces the dogs to carry much heavier loads. In the midst of a particularly arduous trip, one of the dogs becomes ill, and eventually the driver has to shoot him. At the end of this journey, the dogs are exhausted, and the mail carrier sells them to a group of American gold hunters—Hal, Charles, and Mercedes.
Buck’s new masters are inexperienced and out of place in the wilderness. They overload the sled, beat the dogs, and plan poorly. Halfway through their journey, they begin to run out of food. While the humans bicker, the dogs begin to starve, and the weaker animals soon die. Of an original team of fourteen, only five are still alive when they limp into John Thornton’s camp, still some distance from their destination. Thornton warns them that the ice over which they are traveling is melting and that they may fall through it. Hal dismisses these warnings and tries to get going immediately. The other dogs begin to move, but Buck refuses. When Hal begins to beat him, Thornton intervenes, knocking a knife from Hal’s hand and cutting Buck loose. Hal curses Thornton and starts the sled again, but before they have gone a quarter of a mile, the ice breaks open, swallowing both the humans and the dogs.
Thornton becomes Buck’s master, and Buck’s devotion to him is total. He saves Thornton from drowning in a river, attacks a man who tries to start a fight with Thornton in a bar, and, most remarkably, wins a $1,600 wager for his new master by pulling a sled carrying a thousand-pound load. But Buck’s love for Thornton is mixed with a growing attraction to the wild, and he feels as if he is being called away from civilization and into the wilderness. This feeling grows stronger when he accompanies Thornton and his friends in search of a lost mine hidden deep in the Canadian forest.
While the men search for gold, Buck ranges far afield, befriending wolves and hunting bears and moose. He always returns to Thornton in the end, until, one day, he comes back to camp to find that Yeehat Indians have attacked and killed his master. Buck attacks the Indians, killing several and scattering the rest, and then heads off into the wild, where he becomes the leader of a pack of wolves. He becomes a legendary figure, a Ghost Dog, fathering countless cubs and inspiring fear in the Yeehats—but every year he returns to the place where Thornton died, to mourn his master before returning to his life in the wild.

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
Somewhere over the rainbow,
way up high,
in a dream that you dream of,
once in a lullaby,
oh somewhere over the rainbow,
bluebirds fly,
and the dreams that you dream of
dreams really do come true,
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
wake up where the clouds are far behind me,
where troubles melt like lemon drops,
high above the chiminey tops,
that's where you'll find me,
Oh somewhere over the rainbow,
bluebirds fly,
and the dreams that you dare to,
oh why, oh why, can't I
Well I see trees of green and,
red roses too, I watch them bloom,
for me and you,
and I think to myself,
waht a wonderful world
well I see skies of blue and,
clouds of white,
the brightness of day,
I like the night,
and I think to myself,
what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow,
so pretty in the sky,
are also on the faces,
of people passing by,
I see friends shaking hands,
saying how do you do,
they're really saying,
I, I love you
I hear babies cry,
and I watch them grow,
they'll learn much more,
than we all know,
and I think to myself,
what a wonderful world
Someday I'll wish upon a star,
wake up where the clouds are far behind me,
where trouble melts like lemon drops,
high above the chiminey tops,
that's where you'll find me,
Oh somewhere over the rainbow,
way up high,
and the dreams that you dream do,
why, oh why can't I
"Over
the Rainbow" (often referred to as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow")
is a classic Academy Award-winning ballad, with music by Harold Arlen and
lyrics by E.Y. Harburg. The version of Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's album Facing
Future, released in 1993, included a ukulele medley of "Over the
Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World".
A song for
me symbolizes the hopes and dreams of the people who I have and I had had, this
song has made me cry enough for its lyrics and melody.

TALE OF JOHN AND THE THREE SISTERS
Once upon a time in a Little village called “Nowhere”, there was a marble mansion which had large gold color crystal Windows and a beautiful roof that looked like chocolate and smelled like it, and this great house had a giant porch rounded by climbing plants.
The house
was composed in the first floor by a charming kitchen that on winters gathered
the family together. The living room had great leather sofas and a fabulous
Persian carpet. In the second floor the main room was in the center and the
other seven rooms around it. The house was surrounded by a spectacular
landscape of white mountains reflected on the blue lake and green hills filled
of wild animals like horses, cows and deers.
In that
lovely house lived a fat mouse called John who had a penetrating sight, who
lived with his beautiful daughters. The oldest daughter called Ursula who was
very ambitious and egocentric, the second one Fiona beautiful but dissocial and
the youngest Emily, rejected by her daughters due to her beauty and kindness
and because she felt in love with a poor mouse who worked in a cheese factory.
The family
daily living was very chaotic, as Mr. John has had inherited the fortune from
his father, all the family was very distant and unhappy. Every day, early in
the morning the first thing Mr. John made was going to the kitchen and opens
the fridge that was located in the corner. There he ate all he can and then
felt guilty when he uses to see his big belly trough the glass in the corridor.
Neither his body fat obscure his egocentricity because he believed that he was
the most beautiful mouse in town. He dressed up silk coats, gold and silver
jewelry and the most characteristic thing was his mahogany wood walking cane.
But on the other side the truth was that Mr. John was so ugly, with wide
eyebrows and fat cheekbones that made his eyes seemed to be closed. Meanwhile
Ursula and Fiona’s life was so empty, based on luxury and physical appearance
and they never did something productive and spent the day filing their nails
and reading fashion magazines. But there was an exception and his name was
Emily, the youngest sister. She radiated good feelings. Through the morning she
spent her time watering the garden full of flowers and in the evening walk across
the lake.
But the
time ran very fast and the times changed and the old John got sick and he
thought he should give his fortune to his daughters and decided to gather them
around his deathbed. Then the three mice sat down to the left of a beautiful
marble chimney and heard to their father said “daughters, I gathered you
together today to tell you that I want to give you all my possessions, but, you
have to get married with only rich mice”. Obviously Fiona and Ursula said
instantly that they have fiancés but Emily doubly said yes afraid of what could
happened.
The days
passed by and Fiona and Ursula knew that their father was getting old and sick
so they started to please Mr. John as never they do. They gave him breakfast
and lunch and even cleaned up the house. Meanwhile Emily was rejected by her
devil sisters. But their behavior last only a couple of days and sometime later
Ursula and Fiona came back to the house with their fiancés seeking for John’s
fortune. By the way Emily kept taking care of the Old John but decided to
confess that she fell in love with a poor but a good feeling mouse that made
her so happy and she said that didn’t need any money to be happy. Then the two
sisters started to laugh and scoff but Mr. John with only one shout quieted the
yelling and bad sisters and told to them that they were so interested and
jealous and that he realized that the only good one was Emily. So she was going
to afford the most part of the inheritance and looking to Emily’s eyes wished
to her a life of joy and love besides her fiancé. Then the other two sisters
left the house without saying any word.
Finally the
Old John apologized to her loved Emily for being so bad with her during all
that years and Emily accept it. Then the Old John took a last breath and closed
his tired eyes forever.
