SUMMARY OF NOVEL “A TRIP TO LONDON”.
ReplyDeleteOur travel has arrived near London late. He takes the underground and finds and expensive hotel, called “Crescent Hotel”. Next day, he looks for a cheaper one; this is “Lovedales” bed and breakfast. It is raining yet, but he likes going to the London´s Tower. He sees London underground map, triumph of graphic design. There, he knows the ravens, the crown´s jewels, and the biggest diamond of the world; only Thomas Blood has tried to steal them. One day after, he goes to Oxford Street for buying something; at the restaurant, he knows Tom, a new Australian friend.
In St Paul´s Cathedral, they are impressed with its dome. Now, they find the Hyde Park, there are a Marble Arch, and the speaker´s corner trying to convince skeptical audiences about their ideas. Near Piccadilly Circus is the Museum of mankind. On the Victorian Embankment next to the river Thames, there is a large obelisk. They go to the Science Museum; one of the best parts is the Launch Pad Gallery where you can touch and play with things .Before half past four, they must go to the Natural History Museum, today is free, and there are dinosaurs the real size, earth gallery and experience of earthquake. They go into the Kensington Garden; also they say about Kensington Roof Gardens, this is the largest in Europe.
Tom and our guest find the Trafalgar Square; there, they see the Admiral Nelson Statue, he beats Napoleon ship in the Battle of Trafalgar. Now, they are into St James´s Park; the park is a nature reserves where are over 30 different varieties of bird. They drink tea English style.
They eat the typical food in England; it is roast beef and Yorkshire pudding with boiled vegetables and gravy.
From the pub, they see the famous clock tower next to the houses of Parliament. They come to the Westminster Abbey, in this place, the queens and kings are crowned. Now, they walk on the street called Whitehall, where there are many government offices. They speak about the Bank of England: the vaults full with water if anyone without authority tries to enter.
Out traveler says good bye tom. After he crashes with a cyclist because he used to walking on the right way; the English people are used to walking on the left. His treatment is free, because countries of European Community don´t have to pay.
At night, they have a fancy dress party, when they come in, none of them is wearing fancy dress; Tom is wrong of day. The fancy dress party will be tomorrow, but Tom´s friend say to them another party. In that place they enjoy yourselves enormously; until a policewoman come in, and Tom is arrested.
Our traveler is already sad. Tomorrow is the last day in London. A next day Tom is released. They have the last cup of English tea together. They promise to write each other. Sadly, he takes his bags into the underground station and catches the train to Heathrow Airport.
COMMENT: I hope a single day I get to know London. Its ancient arquitecture, its natural parks, theaters, cinemas, museums and history those big aspects turn London into a wonderful place for visiting.

As Mombi is returning home, Tip plans to frighten her with a scarecrow he has made. Since he hasn´t straw available, Tip instead makes a man out of wood and gives him a pumpkin for a head, naming him Jack Pumpkinhead. Mombi isn´t fooled, and she takes this opportunity to demonstrate the Powder of life that she buy from another sorcerer. She sprinkles the powder on Jack, bringing him to life and startling Tip, whom Mombi catches and threatens to turn into a marble statue.
Tip leaves with Jack that night and steals the Powder of life cause Mombi plans to turn him into a marble statue in the morning. As they head for the Emerald City, Tip uses the Powder of life to animate the Sawhorse so Jack can ride him. Tip loses them as the tireless Sawhorse gallops faster and he meets with General jinjur´s all-girl Army of Revolt which is planning to overthrow the Scarecrow . Marching with the Army, Tip meets again with Jack, the Sawhorse, and now the Scarecrow as they flee the Emerald City in Jinjur's wake.
Suddenly the companions arrive at the castle of the Tin Woodman and plan to retake the Emerald City. On their way back, they are diverted by the magic of Mombi, joined by the Highly Magnified and Thoroughly Educated Woggle-bug, and aided by the Field Mice and their queen. Jinjur and her soldiers are scared by the Field Mice out of the main palace, but they still occupy the Emerald City itself. The Scarecrow proposes manufacturing a flying beast call a Gump by which they can escape through the air. Tip animates this collection of palace furniture with the Powder of life, and they fly off, with no control over their direction, out of Oz and land in a nest of Jackdaws with all of the birds' stolen goods.
But in their unsuccessful attempt to drive the Jackdaws from their sanctuary, the Scarecrow's straw is taken away and the Gump's wings are broken. Using the Wishing Pills, they discover with the Powder of life, Tip and his friends escape and journey to the palace of Glinda the good Witch. They learn from Glinda that a girl named Ozma is hidden by the Wizard of Oz long ago and that she is the rightful ruler of the Emerald City, not the Scarecrow .

The witch tries to deceive them by disguising a chambermaid as herself , but manages to elude them as they search for her in the Emerald City. Just as their time runs out, the Tin Woodman plucks a rose to wear in his lapel, unaware that this is the transformed Mombi.
Glinda discovers the deception right away and leads the pursuit of Mombi, who is finally caught as she tries to run across the Deadly Desert in the form of a fast and long-running Griffin . Under pressure from Glinda, Mombi admits that the Wizard bring her the infant Ozma and that she use her magic to transform her into the boy Tip. At first, Tip is shocked to learn this, but Glinda and his friends help him to accept his destiny, and Mombi performs her last spell.
Then and finally. . . Ozma leads her friends in retaking the Emerald City.

BYRON DANGEROUS HERO
ReplyDeletePRESENT SIMPLE
This story begins with the birth of George Gordon in 1788 in London. His parents are a noble but poor family. His father's name is Jack, he is a bad man because he is married to Byron's mother for money. After several conflicts, Jack decides to take money from his wife and he travels to France.
After some years, Byron discovers an uniformity in his foot and then the death of his uncle, Byron becomes a Lord. He convinces to his friend Hobhouse to start a trip. They arrive to Portugal and Greece and while this time, Byron writes letters to her mother, poems and adventures of the things that happen every day. They return to England in March 1881 and Byron writes a famous poem, which tells about the places he knows.
When Byron returns to London, his mother dies. After this event, he writes his second famous poem. In the summer of that year, Byron meets to Annabella Milbanke, she is a beautiful and intelligent woman. On 2nd January 1815, they marry. However, months later, he discovers Annabella is pregnant but he shows no interest in having a child. Annabella thinks is best to leave Byron and back to live in her parents' house with her daughter Adda. For this reason, they are divorced and Byron decides to leave England on April 27, 1816.
Lord Byron travels to Belgium and he meets Shelley, a famous poet. After many adventures, he writes a poem, which says that people who are in love are stupid. Byron decides to go to a party where he meets Guiccioli Teresa who is married. Then, they visit Teresa's father and convince him to annul her marriage. Shelley visits to Byron and he proposes to live in Pisa. Byron lives in Pisa with Teresa but his friend Shelley dies because his ship had an accident. One morning, Byron speaks with Teresa and tells her he wants to travel to Greece to achieve freedom in this country; for this reason, Byron decides to borrow some money and he leaves Pisa in 1823.
During the trip to Greece, Byron meets to Trelawny and both decide to stay in the Cephalonia Island for a few weeks until Trelawny decides to continue their journey to Athens. On January 5, 1824 Byron travels to Missolonghi and he joins to the Prince Mavrocordatos to plan attacks against the Turks.
After three months, Byron receives an important mission: to attack a castle. The next day, he feels ill, for this reason, the Prince calls the doctor but in the course of the night, Byron feels worse and April 19, 1824 at six p.m. Byron dies. Many people are sad with the news because they consider Lord Byron as a hero and others rejoice because they think that Byron must die.
This is a very interesting story because it narrates the life of a great poet. It shows the adventures, achievements and failures of a person who wants to change the world and achieve a better society. I think that it is an inspiration to many people because it allows us to think about the great events of history. This reading is one of my favorites because it allows me to reflect on the obstacles which can present; this also shows how a normal man can fulfill all your dreams.

Hello Wendy!
DeleteYour summary is fine, however I think that you could be careful with the verbs in your summary in present tense, for example: " he sees the world from a ..." "how he himself described, still, has a pretty interesting life."; also is important remember to use the object pronouns, for example in the sentence "a mysterious driver asks if he know ..." you colud say ""a mysterious driver asks him if he know...". Bye Wendy.

This novel is narrated by the main character Prudence Sarn or “Prue Sarn”, who tells the story of her family in western England two hundred years ago. Prudence is the youngest of the family. She is fifteen years old, innocent and submissive. She has hare-lip and all people say this is cursed. Her brother, Gideon, is two years older than her, but he is ambitious and selfish. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Sarn.
The story begins when Mr. Sarn dies of a stroke in a fit of anger at his son. Gideon is left with the inheritance of his father while Prue works in the farm as a maid. She does not receive a salary and in return Gideon promises her that first they has a lot of money and then he goes to get the best doctor to cure her hare-lip. They promise this arrangement on the Bible.
Gideon is in love with Jancis Beguildy, the daughter of his butler, but he doesn´t marry her, because she is poor. She feels sad and disappointed by him. Then she escapes and arrives to the farm of a friend named Kester Woodseaves. She does not know how to read and he helps her read the letters that Prudence Sarn writes in the name of her brother Gideon. He wants to convince Jancis to returns with him.
Kester likes how Prue writes and despite not knowing her, he falls in love with her. When Jancis returns, Gideon promises to marry her after the next harvest, but they have sexual intercourse before the marriage and Jancis´ father discovers them. To take revenge, he burns Gideon´s crops. Jancis becomes pregnant, but Gideon abandons her and drowns.
Gideon´s mother begins to fall ill, but the medicine is too expensive and Gideon doesn´t buy it. Later Gideon decides to poison his mother because he does not want to pay for her. Really Gideon is a very bad man. He begins to see the ghosts of his parents, his wife and his son. He becomes mad and after same time commits suicide.
Prue is accused of witchery, and people think that she is the one who kills her family.

He does not care that she has hare-lip and they decide to marry. They have children and live a happy life.
I like this book because the author makes adept use of folklore, customs, and religious beliefs of the early 1800s in England, and this is a good way for us to learn about the interesting culture of Britain as students of a foreign language.

DeleteHi Pili!
DeleteI really like your book because it relates religion, love and the woman’s life who has hare-lip. The story narrates events depicting the Prudence’s life and her greedy brother. I like how you tell the tale because it is a simple way to understand it.
On the other hand, the things you can improve on your summary are:
1. When you start the third paragraph, you must use the possesive, so you can say: "... his butler's daughter..."
2. You might check your punctuation rules so that the reader can understand the entire text.
Moreover, I think your oral report was very good because you explained with simple terms your book, so it allowed that everyone understand your story. Personally, when I heard the title, I was interested to read about a woman who had hare-lip and had many problems due to her terrible brother.
Good Job!
Congratulations

Finally, your presentation is a good way to understand a traditional book about a typical family and a disease not common a few years ago.

ReplyDeleteTHE HOUND OF BASKERVILLE
This is a Sherlock Holmes’ story; it is about a hound that that is able to scare even the bravest man in Dartmoor. The book starts with the hypothesis that the hound is a family malediction because many of the members had been killed for a big dog. The detective Holmes considers the history of the huge dog as fantasy, but he decides to investigate it deeper because it causes him curiosity, he wants to know who is behind the mystery of the enormous hound. the case unfolds in the town of Dartmoor where sherlock sends his dearest partner Watson to investigate.
The case is not easy for the detective because he has to face an intelligent and shrewd enemy. However, after analyzing many details and each crime scene, the detective solves the problem and concludes that the monster does not belong to the supernatural but instead to the idea of a human being who got carried away by greed, and was able to create a creature that frighten the occupants of the house and its neighbors in Baskerville.
The person who created this macabre plan, mistake Holmes with false evidence, but as the detective is set up in the smallest detail and analyzes each person from their gestures and their speech to their clothes. Sherlock solves the case with the aid of those affected and his friend Watson; and in an act previous planning, they think to kill the ferocious dog, and expose the game of murderer, who happens to be part of the Baskerville family.
I recommend this book because the author makes an interesting use of his great imagination to connect the reader with the mystery and excitement that surrounds and traps and makes you want to continue to the end.
I consider that the story is very entertaining and make me think that many times we miss important details in life that can be clues from a whole different perspective.

Hello Jennifer Sanchez
DeleteAlthough I don´t like much the love´s stories, this story this story has many new vocabulary to learn. I can relate this words whit each scene. In respect of the story, I like about this story, it shows us, like the Hester´s strength in the face of sexist society.
In mi humble opinion, you can improve your writing correcting these mistakes:
1. You should use story in place of history. History is meant to be an objective narrative description of past events, while a story will be a subjective narrative description of either real past events or imaginary people and events.
2. When she arrive/When she arrives.Hester know to Arthur/Hester knows Arthur Dimmesdale. The society know about her pregnancy /The society knows about her pregnancy. Hester’s husband arrive to Boston/ Hester’s husband arrives to Boston. He say all true/ he says all true.
3. When this is happing/when this is happening.
4. He takes other identification. /He takes another identity.
5. This text needs punctuation mark.

This is about Hester Prynne. She is a woman who lives in Boston. Before, she lived in Amsterdam with her husband. When she arrives to Boston, she gets here, because her husband must do business. So Hester knows Arthur Dimmesdale, he is a pastor. They have a secret relationship. After, Hester becomes pregnant. When the society knows about her pregnancy, there is a judgment. When this is happening, Hester’s husband arrives to Boston, he takes another identity, he has a new name, this is Roger Chillingworth. He is a supposed doctor; he does it because he wants to take revenge of Hester’s lover.
This day Hester must walk around the principal park. She must carry her baby Pearl, and in her dress a letter “a” this is the scarlet letter, this means adultery, all society call her adultery. And she tries to have a normal life; but she doesn´t know that the doctor Roger knows that the pastor is her lover and father`s daughter, and he has been hurting to lover.

Philip Nore, a Jockey, is training for his competitions when he falls when he jumps a fence. He doesn’t hurt, he just gets a little bit angry. Philip has a friend called Steve Millace who also is a jockey, he asks to Philip if he is fine. Steve tells him that while he was attending his father’s funeral, some burglars got into his house and burn everything. Then, Steve gets hurt because he falls down in a race horse, so Philip asks him if he can carry him to his house and in that way, he can see the disaster that the burglars have done. When they arrive to Steve’s house, they notice that something is weird. Steve’s mother is kicked and she is bleeding. Between that chaos, Philip finds a box of rubbish and he asks to Steve if he can keep that since he is photography’s fan. Steve’s father is a weird person, he likes photography. He is always watching the worst moments to take advantage and take pictures. He is the owner of that box.
Philip tells to his best friend everything, but he says to him that he should destroy everything and don’t have troubles; but Philip says no. He wants to discovery all Mr. Millace is hiding. After that, Philip starts to remember a little bit about his past and he recognizes his mother’s friend. He goes to meet her because he still knows where that house is. He gets happy because his mother’s friend is kind and comfortable. She tells him about her daughter, Clare, and they meet each other. She is a journalist, so she also likes photography. A man called “Lance” is near there recording a film. Casually, he is Clare’s boss. Lance says to Philip that he wants to buy his pictures, but he refuses, but he sells them to Clare. Philip notices that there is a bad person who is cheating the race horse riders. He starts to find out into Mr. Millace’s photographs the true. Mr. Millace isn’t that bad person everybody thinks, instead of that, he is honest and wants to say to the people what is going on.
Philip asks to Mrs. Millace where went Mr. Millace before he died and she answers that he went to Lance’s house and also, that he asked for ammonia. Philip discoveries that Lance is cheating to everybody and Lance notices that Philip knows everything and tries to kill him.
Philip Nore is an interesting character, brought by a succession of his mother's friends over the years while his mother fought her drug habit. Somehow, he has managed to stay on the straight and narrow, throwing himself into his job as a steeplechase jockey and developing his photography on the side. Probably because the story is told from his point of view and because he seems vulnerable, it is easy to get behind him and really want things to work out for him. The only aspect of his character I don’t particularly like is his love life - he meets an up-and-coming publisher and falls for her, but the relationship seems forced and certainly it develops too quickly to be natural. This can simply be because it is one of the sections of the book that has been abridged.

Brat Farrar by Josephine Tey
ReplyDeletePresent simple:
The Latchetts is a small village where the Ashby family lives comfortably, this family works hardly in a big farm for horses, as a school to train horses and as a school for people who want to learn to ride.
This family is constituted by aunt Bee, Leonor the oldest niece , the twin Simon, and finally the twins Jane and Ruth, the story begins with the thoughts the aunt Bee, she is worried about the birthday’s Simon because she knows that when he gets twenty-one years old, he gets legally the ashby fortune. The Aunt Bee does not like this idea and she feels fearful for the future the Asbhy family because Simon is so selfish.
Bee remembers all about her brother Bill, dead in a terrible plane crash, for this reason, she comes Latchetts in order to look after her dead brother's children. then she remembers her nephew Patrick, dead eight years ago in strange way, every one thinks that patrick commits suicide, but the aunt Bee does not believe that Patrick is dead, because the body's patrick not appear and no one knows nothing about him.
On the other hand in a street in London Brat Farrar a kind man, is persuaded by a "friend" of the Ashbys to pose as Patrick Ashby. Brat Farrar look like Simon Ashby so the plan is perfect.
As soon as the Ashby family knows that Patrick is alive, all of them feel happines again less Simon who is very sure that this man not is his brother twin.
Once Brat Farrar comes to live at Latchetts he is interested to find out all about Patrick's death, this way Brat Farrar discovers that Simon is the main murderer of his own brother, but the problem is that Brat can not say nothing because he is an impostor.
Finally, Simon tries to kill to Brat, but his attempt, Simon falls into a deep well and dies, at the end ashby family knows the whole truth about Brat, but the family decides to forgive him, also the Family discovers that Brat is really a son not recognized by george the oldest brother of Bee.
I recommend this story because Josephine Tey is a great writer, he knows to catch the reader, is really wonderful, that although the reader knows that Brat Farrar not is Patrick from the begin of the history, the mistery is always present, with the hope that all things result well for Brat Farrar, because the author wants to show as Brat deserves to be an Ashby.

At the end, ashby family knew the whole truth about Brat, but the family decided to forgive him, also the Family discoved that Brat is really like a son not recognized by George the oldest brother of Bee.
I recommended this story because Josephine Tey was a great writer, he knew to catch the reader, was really wonderful, that although the reader knew that Brat Farrar not was Patrick from the begin of the history, the mistery was always present, with the hope that all things result well for Brat Farrar, because the author wanted to show as Brat deserved to be an Ashby.

Hi Erly!
DeleteThe book that you chose was a few complicated, but you did a great job.
I recommend you have more careful with the past tense, for example:
In the first paragraph when you said "The Latchetts is a (..)"; the correct way is "The Latchetts was a (..)" because is in past tense.
In the second paragraph when you said " the story began with the thoughts the aunt Bee (..)", the correct way is " the story began with the thoughts of the aunt Bee (..)" or you can said " the story began with the aunt Bee´s thoughts".
In the sixth paragraph you said "Simon falls into (...)" the correct way is"Simon fell into(..)". In the same paragraph when you said "Brat is really (..)" the correct way is "Brat was really (..)"
In general your summary in past tense is very good.
My congratulations.
:)

Hi Pao!
DeleteYou did a very good job, I can see your effort in the text!
With summary I can understant the main idea of story, but I think it is not an interesting book, because this is a simple story, I do not like characters and problematic, I believe these are bored; I prefer mystery books with more emotion and that it or its author makes me want to continue to the end.
