“I wish the teachers would give us more SSR time.” Utku says, frowning.

          “Why? I think the time they give us is adequate, there is no need for more time on SSR.” Selim answers in disagreement.

           “Oh, I strongly disagree, I just love this book series called Lorien Legacies and I want to finish them.” replies Utku, starting to get annoyed for a simple matter like this.

           “If you want to read it so much, you can read it in your spare time, our homeworks are already enough, nobody would want to lose their precious time by reading books.” Selim says.

            “But-”

            “Whatever, dude. I am not going to waste my “precious time” talking to you, you do what you want.” Utku interrupts Selim, feeling offended and annoyed. Then walks away.

            “See? He is always like this I don’t even know if I want to be friends with him anymore.” Tells Selim, now facing Yusuf.

            “You two should talk about, I really wouldn’t want to be stuck in between of you when you two are angry at each other.” Yusuf states, concernedly.   

What I enjoyed most about the unit was writing the story, trying to come up with some new ideas, and creating a story that I have always dreamed of. My story was really a mash-up of some books and movies. Taking some parts from my favorite art pieces was really fun. The most important lesson I learned was to do my work on time and don’t leave it to the last couple of days. I should have been more responsible. I learned that I can create amazing plot and plot twists but the story in my mind was so much longer and better. I am not satisfied with this one.

The plot consists of a married couple having no idea that there is a nuclear war going on outside because that their cat cut the television cables while they were fighting because of a game of scrabble. The thing that grabbed my attention is that I think this short clip is trying to tell us television is a vital tool and people are so dependant to it that without it, they can not even realise that a nuclear war is going on outside their house. And I did not expect a plot twist like this, it was highly surprising for me and it left me thinking about the video.

The village lottery is a violent murder each year, a weird ritual that shows us how dangerous tradition can be when people follow it blindly. Before we know what kind of lottery they’re doing, the villagers and their preparations seem harmless: they’ve appointed a man to lead the lottery, and children run around collecting stones.  She writes that the villagers don’t really know much about the lottery’s origin but try to keep the tradition going on and on anyway.

 

This is my first poetic analysis written in my Writing Class:
