Fear and Gratitude

One day with our family we went to burgers at a restaurant called Burger King. I was just a kid like my brother and my cousin, we were having fun in the kids area, there was a big slide. The parents ordered the food and they were talking while we play. The food was ready and my dad went inside the kids area and called the three of us to go eat. Fast we put our shoes back on and we run very exited to our table. While we were finishing eating three big guys came inside with their guns pointing at the people. They were black and muscled and they shouted "Everybody down!" My aunt lay on top of the handbags trying to hide them. I stayed still beside the window I felt my mothers hand that went inside my pocket leaving something inside. I placed my hand in my pocket and touched my mothers engagement ring and clock. I didnt take out my hand until they left. I saw thrugh the window how the went runing with some handbags and money from the cash register. While they left i felt my mothers embracement and a relief in my body.

There are special persons in my life that i feel gratitude to and one of them is my grandma. I can remember that for some period of time me and my brother were sleeping at my grandma's house. My mother was ill and she wasnt able to wake us up early in the morning and make breackfast. We slept at her house, she woked us up the next morning and while we got dressed she prepared us breackfast and then she was the one that drove us to school. We returned in the bus to our house and after eating there my grandma came and pick us up to get to her house we do homework and sleep there. I have this enermous gratitude to her because she took the role of a mother to use for about a month or more than that. 

If only...

There was a lot of wind, my hair was al messy. I felt how something went inside my eye, inmidiatly I rubbed my eye but it didnt get out. That moment I realized that I will have to go to the restroom and see what's going on with my eye. It hurt a lot every time blink, I felt as if a knife was cutting my eye.

We returned home and my eye was still hurting. In the way home I was tired I felt how my eyes were closing slowly and then I fall asleep. When we got home I woke up and my eye again began hurting. If only I listened when my dad told me to go inside I wouldnt had this small trash in my eye. I had to go to the doctor and tell him what happened to he can take a look at my eye and remove that tiny rock.

It started as an ordinary day. Just after finishing eating I went to play outside and then it had to come this tremendous wind that rined my day. And it ended me going to Hospital Metropolitano to the ophthalmologist to check my eye.

All Summer in a Day

This short story written by Ray Bradbury is abouta new civilization created in a planet called Venus, in wivh the sun only comes out every seven years and just for a while. The story tells of some kids that are in school and that dont remember how sun is because the first time they saw it they were to little. There is one particular girl called Margot that do remember the sun because she wasnt that little the last time she saw it so in the only thing she thibks about is the SUN. She is a lonely girl that is bodered by the rest of his classmates. When Margot shared what she remember about sun but the kids being always mean with her say that she was lying. Until one day the kids locked up Margot in the closet and left her there. After a while the teacher came to the class and tell the kids if they are ready to go out and see the sun because finally after seven years the sun came out again. The kids happily went with the teacher and enjoyed the sun as much as the sun went away again. When it satrted raining again like if it was a avalanche and they had to go back to the classroom. Once they were inside again one girl remembered Margot was still inside the closet. The kids took Margot out the closet and she couldnt see the sun as she wanted for seven years.

"The sky darkened into midnight in a flash.

They stood in the doorway of the underground for a moment until it was raining hard. Then they closed the door and heard the gigantic sound of the rain falling in tons and avalanches, everywhere and forever". 

Here Ray Bradbury uses the sense of sight and sound by describing how the rain came again and the terrible sound it made. In the picture we can see a very rainy and cold day that makes no one want to go outside. The sound of the rain was so strong that it was like the sun never came out and it was so cold that is like the only seson they have is winter. 

The main character of the story is Margot, she is a very quiete and lonely girl that wants to go back to live in the Earth. She is very respectfull with his classmateseven they treat her badly. 

When the class sang songs about happiness and life and games her lips barely moved. 

This shows that Margot not happy of his life because when the class sings happy song she dosent sing so it shows that he really wants sun back because if it only rains then is like sad day but when is sunny it is like happy day so Margot looks sad. 

 

 

 

Taste

This is a Roald Dahl short story that is about a man called Michael Scofield that invite his friend Richard Pratt and his wife to dinner in Michaels house. Richard Pratt is a famous gourmet man that likes all types of wines and know them very well. While eating dinner Richard was very interested in Michaels daughter so he seated next to her and talked to her all dinner without even eating his own fish. Michel and Richard everytime they meet they make some bets about who knows which wine they are drinking. This night they also made a bet, Michael took a wine from his study and Richard need t tell what exact wine it was. Michael said that he would bet anything that Pratt wants, so Pratt taking it very serious what Michael said and he said that he want to bet the hand of her daughter in marriage. Michael was so sure that he was going to win because he said that his wines are good enough to be recognised so he convinced his daughter to accept the bet. After accepting the bet Michael went to his studio take out one wine and gave a glass to Pratt. Richard Pratt took his time deciding which wine it was and after tasting it many times and discarding some possibilities he said his final word. When he said his final answer Michael was quiet staring a the table and the rest of the guests were saint for Michael to show the tag of the wine. But sadly Pratt was correct and he "won the prize".


"He paused, his mouth full of wine, getting the first taste, then, he permitted some of it to trickle down his throat and I saw his Adam's apple move as it passed by". (4)



Here Roald Dahl appeals to the sense of sight because he was very descriptive at the moment of tasting the wine. In the image we can see how this person drinks and very carefully tasting every single mouthful of wine. Also we can see how the wine passes through his throught.


The protagonist of ti story is Michael Scofield, he is a very confident of himself. He is the type of  person that we can how he is by looking his actions for example:

'So you'll bet me anything I like?' 'That's what I told you. I'll

bet you anything you damn well please, if you want to make an issue out of it.'
This reveals about the character that he is very sure of what he is doing or what he is betting. By teling Richard Pratt that he would bet anything he damn please then he would choose anything and Michael cant say no so that is why Pratt choosed the hand of her daughter in marriage.
