ReplyDeleteMy favourite book is Siddharta, because is a book that not only describes the protagonist's life but also underlines how important his religion was for its evolution. Its all about interior thoughts and helps the reader understand more about Siddharta's religion, which actually I find it really interesting and difficult.
I'm sorry but I do not have an interesting fact about myself, or I can't think of it right now.

1. The best book I have read so far, is called “Frank Lloyd Wright”. It is about the famous organic architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The book goes clearly trough all his life. Mainly focusing: at first on his early influences, such as the Froebelian method, based on the composition of buildings and structures, and the Trascendentalist movement, which stated that man should find a balance between constructions and nature. Secondly the book focuses on his major operas like the “Fallingwater House” a big mansion constructed on a fallingwater without disturbing the nature of the place, or the Gughenheim Museum that is one of his last projects.
ReplyDelete2. An interesting fact about me could be that even if I am 16 I have got one brother, Andrea of the age of 43 and one sister, Michela of the age of 30. Naturally we don’t have the same mother, but three different ones.
1. I am pretty confident about everything regarding the syllabus. Everything is clearly explained and there are no things that are left unexplained.
ReplyDelete2. My favorite book is ''Of mice and men'' by John Steinbeck. In this book there are many contrasts represented. It gives us a clear picture of two main characters and it gives a lot of action. We can see, as the story line develops, the evolution of two main characters. One of them is mentally sick and the other one is very intelligent guy. I like it a lot because that was the first book that really fascinated me. The thing that fascinated me the most was when Lennie, tall, strong guy but mentally retarded, gets into troubles and then his friend George has to deal with all those problems. I am fascinated by George's patiency and his understand of Lennie's problems with the behavior.
3.Since I am very friendly and talkative person, my friends know mostly everything that they should know about me. I am one of those who likes helping to the others and I love being surrounded by my friends.
No I don't have any questions regarding the syllabus or set-up of the course?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is Romanzo Criminale, a novel by Giancarlo de Cataldo. I really like this book because it's based on a real story about organized crime in Rome during the 80s. The novel deals with all sorts of crime activities including murders, drugs and gambling. I like it very much because I prefer reading true stories and especially this one beacuse it's based in the city I live.
I can't think of an interesting fact about myself that not many people know
1.No,not yet.
ReplyDelete2.My favorite book is "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe. It is my favorite because it brings me back in my childhood every time I think of it; I always liked author's detailed description of events,places and characters; The whole story is very exciting and you just keep on reading.
3. I guess I'm quite deep and complicated so there is much more that people don't know then that they do about me.Therefore I'll just say something random,like that I'm a movie addict.
My favorite book is ''lord of the flies'' by William Golding. This book fascinates me in a great way because i like adventure books involving nature, and this book is set on a tropical island therefore i love it. Another fact that makes it my favorite book is that Golding by putting a bunch of male kids on a tropical island wants to portray many significant things about society, the importance of adults and females in a community and how did nature made the kids find their instinctive wilderness that hides behind every human being.
