An original and creative Quarterly

Over these years in literature we have been reading and analyzing different poems and stories and the play " An Inspector Calls" written by J.B Priestley. For the literature quarterly and to integrate all these contents, we were asked to choose five stories and poems and "An Inspector Calls" and to follow the next steps:

1. First we should look after all the themes of the play and each story and poem
2. For each theme we should think about a thematic statement. What is  THEMATIC STATEMENT? It is a sentence that express a theme.
3. Then we should found a suitable quotation that support the thematic statement
4. Finally we should present all this in a creative presentation. We decided to do it in piktochart.

"Billenium" by JB Ballard

In Literature class we'd  read "Bilinium" a story that talks about the conflict of overpopulation, we have analysed it. We received a task in wich we were asked to explain all the important points of the story. I worked with Olivia Converti. Here is our work:

"The warmth of the love"

In our Literature class we'd read three different poems with their own topics and we have therefore received a task, where we should create our own poem including one of the following topics:

1. Loving according to our personal point of view
2. A discusion between two characters
3. A change in a character state

Personally I choose explaining my point of view about love.


Love is just an oddish thing
from some travelers excepcional as the birds singing in the primrose
from some others such as irksome as a strong wind in your face.

Maybe this varied sights are the result of personal experience.
Quite so, my inexperienced trip.
My grandma yarning his marvelous love story.
However not yet an actual one.

Distinctives as the seasons of the years
Despite accurate a magic time for everyone
Midnight dreams searching for love
Fearing not to find one.
Hoping it is an easy task.

Desiring it will solve the struggle
Living always in springtime
Apart from the toughs tasks
Such as girls dreams.

"Games at Twilight" by Anita Desai

In Literature we read a story called "Games at Twilight". We have to make a visual presentation including important issues about the story, previously analysed in class. Here is my presenation, I worked with Olivia Converti:

"A Sweet Return"

In Literature we have read different poems, one about how there parents get to know each other called "Stabat Mater", another in which describes how you feel when you return home and finally one that the poet describes a person who loves and fell in love. The task we should do was to choose one of this poems and describe your own experience. Here is my poem describing how I feel when I return to my home. 

As simple as tender

my back is full of love.

My mom with the arms open

Waiting enthusiastic for me.

The smell of toast regret me to my childhood

Knitting everyone their memories 

And their days completely varied.

Where I can be aware how much I love them 

Sharing those moment I can feel as a dove

That flies through funny memories. 

Everyone is back to their jobs

Waiting the moment to meet again.
