Another type of Quarterly

As we read An Inspector Calls, and a great number of poems and stories during the last three years to sit for IGCSE Literature, we were asked to choose some of these written creations to make a presentation or document where we expressed two themes of each of them. This would be the Literature Quarterly of 2017.

Final Free-style Poem

We were once again asked to write a poem, but this time, with a topic we liked, a free one.

Estereotypes

You are like This

then, you are This

If you looked like That

Then, you would be That

That's what Society told me

But I hate it

I may look like This

But I'm still not This

I look like This

And I am like This

Many people look like This

And we're still not This

Many people are like This

Many people are like That

And I still think 

They are neither This or That

Society has created labels

So people just can be

Like This

Or like That

But why following stereotypes?

Why just choose between This and That?

Why choose when I could be

Different to This and That?

I am the way I am

And I love who I am 

I like my appearence and thoughts

Because I'm not like This or That.

More persons should start

To love who they are

Because each person is unique

And labels are just for cans

Through feline eyes

As we read "Ming's Biggest Pray" by Patricia Highsmith, we made a full analysis and made a presentation.

#LoveIsLove

In Poetry, we were asked to create our own poem. We had three topics and I choose my point of view of what love was for me.

Beware! Rainbow flag! Love's got no gender

Neither age matters when the feeling is real

Not even what other people think

When your standing with whom there is no fear

In all known laguages Love is a feeling

"The most beautiful" everyone can say

However when you really are in love

Honey, you're not perfectly "okay"

Trapped in a binweed of feelings

Like you have of yourself no restraint

As you feel to get closer to someone

And be something more you can't wait

That "someone" you like in the spotlight

Who creates in your chest some fear

Of someone covering ground

And prevent you to be near.

Amorousness, shyness, jelousy

Like some quaint ying-yang

Love can't be avoided

Nor its good or bad stuff

'Cause when it leaves you alone

You feel empty and irretrievable

You can either choose suffering

Or wager to see if to stand up you're able.

¿Is half a loaf is better than none after all?

As we read "Billenium" a story written by J. G. Ballard, we made a presentation with the information

 

The story of a full-day game

We read a story called "Games at Twilight" and analized it. With the information we made a presentation.

"Tell him I love when he smile" ~ Practicing Poetry

We read a poem called "She was a phantom of delight", which talked about the feelings a man felt about a girl. Our challenge was to make our own, describing how we felt about someone we like.

Strong Heartbeat

Brown his eyes as dark his hair 

Medium high and self-confident air

Not a bad guy, had no disrepute

What's more, he's really cute! 

 Worst are my nerves than his own 

Some kind of conection, though no feeling was ever shown 

Laughs, smiles, the deadliest crossing-looks in the world 

Between him and I, there's no need of a word. 

 My love dressed in a friendly smile as he could 

Would never confess even if I should 

Loosing him is not one of my options 

Even if that means hiding emotions.

"Do one thing for me, Sredni Vashtar"

We read and analysed the story of Hector Hugh Munro, mostly known as Saki, "Sredni Vashtar". We took up the information and made a presentation.

Analysis of a poem: Father Returning Home

As we read a poem of Dilip Chitre, Father Returning Home, we analyzed the different characteristics of it and created a presentation.
