Literary Essay

We wrote a Literary Essay analysing rhe novel "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", by Robert Louis Stevenson, which had to have between 350 and 400 words aproximately.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

“The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”, written by Robert Louis Stevenson, talks about a man called Dr. Henry Jekyll who wants to discover his other personality. He makes many experiments to achieve his aim. Finally, he discovers that he has an evil personality, called Mr. Hyde. At the end, Dr. Jekyll kills himself. This essay contains an analysis on the primary character Mr. Hyde, his personality, physical appearance and the symbolism related to him.

In connection to his physical appearance, Mr. Hyde is presented as “the picture of disquietude”, that might be because of his physical ugliness, repulsiveness and the shocking effect he leaves on people: “Then he began slowly to mount the street, pausing every step or two, and putting his hand to his brow like a man in mental perplexity”. Likewise, the fact that he is hairy and dwarfish, in addition to the impression of deformity Hyde gives, makes him look like a beast, what could express his lack of humanity.

Talking about his personality, Mr. Hyde is portrayed as an animalistic creature, as he is uncivilized and immoral. Hyde, in addition, kills for no reason but the joy of it, what proves he is no entirely an animal, as animals do not do that. Moreover, Mr. Hyde has a cruel and violent personality: “And next moment, with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot, and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered and the body jump upon the roadway”.

In relation to the symbolism connected to Hyde’s physical appearance, his ugliness and deformity symbolize his lack of moral and ethics, while his small stature the fact that he has been repressed for years and his hairiness, that he is Dr. Jekyll’s animalistic side. As it can been seen in the next quote, Mr. Hyde was growing: “The powers of Hyde seemed to have grown with the sickness of Jekyll”.

In conclusion, Mr. Hyde is an animalistic creature who is really cruel and violent, and we can appreciate that throughout the whole novel, in which this character is developed all along the plot. Personally, I think that Mr. Hyde is a great, very interesting character and one of the best characters to analyse. He symbolizes the evil part of the society and humanity, as he is the evil part of a very well-known man.

Short Story

We wrote a short story which had to have between 450 and 600 words and had to finish with the sentence "That was the last time he/she ever saw...".

The Street

Sophie was a 17-year-old, short, thin girl. She had long, black hair and big, round green eyes. She was a very good and generous girl who had lots of friends .Sophie lived in a spacious and luxurious house in the city of London with her father, her mother, her older sister and her little brother.

One night, she was walking down the avenue with a friend of her called Lucy. Lucy was 17 years old as Sophie and she was a tall girl, she had short, blonde hair and blue eyes. After going to the shopping centre, they were going to a party which was going to start in ten minutes.

“We are going to be late!” complained Sophie

“No! It´s early.” answered her friend

“We have ten minutes left!” Sophie screamed “We have ten minutes to arrive there! And the party is far from here!” She kept on complaining.

“Ok, calm down.” answered Lucy “I know a shortcut, follow me.”

“OK” Lucy answered.

They kept on walking down the avenue for one more block and then they turned left and entered to a deserted, shabby little street. They walked through that alley as they talked.

“The party will be great! I can’t wait to get there!”, Lucy said, they were very excited because of that party.

“Yes, me too! How much time have we got to get there?”, she asked.

“Five minutes.” answered the other girl.

“Ok.”, said Sophie.

They kept on walking for two or three more minutes when they passed through a darker part and Sophie said:

“Hey, Lucy, I don´t like this street.”

“But, if we don´t come through here, we will be later.”, answered Sophie´s friend.

“Yes, I know, but I just don´t like it. I don´t know why.”, answered the black-haired one.

They walked, walked and walked until they saw a man coming in front of them. He was more or less a block ahead of them but they could perfectly see him.

“I don´t like that man”, whispered Sophie, “Can we cross the street?”

“Ok.”, answered her friend.

They crossed the street, but the man also did that. That happened two or three times until they realized that that man wanted to do something to them. They kept on walking, frightened, until they faced the tall, filthy man.

“Give me everything you have!”, he said quickly as he looked at them.

“Why?”, asked Lucy while Sophie hit her and told her to shut up.

“Shut up and give me everything! Or I’ll shoot you”, said the man as he took a gun out of his jacket.

The girls were really scared now, “Okay, okay”, they said as they gave their bags and their cell phones to the man.

“Now, you will go and you won’t look back”, the robber said.

The girls went away in the opposite direction. They walked for more or less thirty meters when Sophie made the mistake of turning around. She was only able to see the robber, and to hear Lucy screaming when she heard a powerful sound and all turned black.

That was the last time she ever saw the robber. That was the last time she ever saw Lucy. That was the last time she ever saw anyone.

Review

The Hobbit 2

The hobbit: The desolation of Smaug is the second part of the saga directed by Peter Jackson. It is based on J. R. R Tolkien´s book “The hobbit”. It is an action film and the story takes place in the middle earth.

The hobbit is about a group of dwarves that, accompanied by Gandalf (a wizard) and Bilbo(The hobbit), want to go to the lonely mountain which is inside the city of Erebor. Inside it, there is a Dragon called Smaug. If they want the Erebor back, they will have to do something with Smaug.

The story is full of action and emotion. It is a very interesting and entertaining film, full of marvellous creatures and amazing landscapes. The movie is very good and has a lot of thrilling and exciting moments.

I strongly recommend you to watch this movie. You should watch it because it is excellent and it will catch your attention from the very beginning.

Monologue

In drama I created my own character. It is called “Alex”. I wrote a monologue to give him voice. This is me playing the role.

Monologue:

When I was a human I used to feel very bad, I felt that I was useless and that nobody wanted me, and that was horrible, I really suffered when I was a boy, and all because of that. It made me suffer because I believed nobody wanted and that I had no friends and it me made me feel I was alone, and that, actually, is horrible. Even more, my partners from my football club bothered me and I couldn´t stop going there.

But since I touched the metal cube in the laboratory when I was escaping from my partners, that were bothering me, it was all different, it´s all different now, I´m still very introvert and I’m not more self confident than I was before, but my partners stopped bothering me and I feel that I have more friends nowadays. I have to keep going to that club, my father wants me to do it, to go there, he wants me to be a great scorer and a great football player as him, maybe it´s because of that that I’m a goal-scoring machine, a perfect robot. About my “friends”, I won´t take revenge, no, maybe they deserve it, but I’m not that kind of person, if I’m still a person, but I won’t do it, I feel pity for them. I will only show them that I´m better than them.

Videopoesía

Realizamos una excursión al MACBA (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires), luego de esa salida, entramos a la página y buscamos alguna obra que nos gustara. Cuando encontramos esa obra, buscamos tres obras más de ese autor. Nuestro artista fue Juan Nicolás Melé, quien estudió en la Escuela de Bellas Artes "Manuel Belgrano". Él nació en Buenos Aires, Argentina en 1923 y murió ahí en 2012.

Luego de buscar un autor y otras tres obras suyas, realizamos un moviemaker recitando un poema creado a partir de sus obras y mostramos esas obras en el video.

Feudalismo

El señorío se encuentra en Escocia.

En el Castillo de Glamis.

Donde era el señorío de Angus.

El escudo

El señorío posee este escudo que básicamente representa la valentía y el honor (gules (rojo)), y la esperanza y la fe (sinople (verde)). Eso es porque sus principales colores son los que llevan esas características.

La corona simboliza el poder del rey, en la Edad Media, la corona en un escudo significaba dominación y señorío

Las espadas el ejército del señor feudal y en la Edad Media significaban la justicia y soberanía de su linaje

La cruz celta la representa a la religión (cristianismo), es celta porque el señorío se encuentra en Escocia, donde ese pueblo habitaba y su cultura predominaba. Esa cruz es una mezcla entre la cruz cristiana y un antiguo símbolo celta, proveniente de una leyenda. La Historia de la Cruz Celta se remonta a mas de 2000 años antes de Cristo, cuando a Bran "El Bendito" se le representaba como el Sol. Un círculo en medio del cual se dibujaba una equis. Este dios pagano que sacrifico su vida para salvar a la Celtia, fue quien empezo a dar forma a la cruz celta.

El león es por la valentía de los soldados y los señores feudales y el bastón del león representa el mando militar de los éstos. En la Edad Media, si el león era rojo, significaba que el caballero que llevaba el escudo tenía un espíritu generosamente guerrero. Si el león tenía un bastón, significaba el mando militar de este. Ese animal era símbolo de vigilancia, autoridad, dominio, monarquía, magnanimidad, majestad y bravura

Los colores representan:  

Gules: color rojo. Las características heráldicas que le corresponden son: fortaleza, alteza, ardid, valor, honor, osadía y victoria, con la obligación al servicio y protección de las Armas ante su Soberano y Patria, o Principe y a socorrer a los que se ven oprimidos por la justicia.

Oro: simboliza la nobleza, el esplendor, la prosperidad, sabiduría, magnanimidad, constancia, riqueza, poder y luz. Debían ser los primeros en defender y portar las virtudes caballerescas, amparar a los necesitados y defender al Soberano, peleando por ellos hasta derramar su última gota de sangre.

Plata: Las familias a las que se les concedía el privilegio de llevar este metal en sus escudos se distinguían por su integridad, su obediencia, firmeza, vigilancia, elocuencia, vencimiento y gratitud. En los restantes nobles, es plata.

Azur: color azul. Simboliza a Venus, el aire, y las cualidades de justicia, obediencia, lealtad, piedad y prudencia, con la obligación al servicio y protección de la Agricultura ante su Soberano y Patria.

Sinople: color verde. Simboliza la esperanza, la fe, amistad, servicio y respeto. Es símbolo de grandeza, elevación, asilo y salvaguardia, con la obligación al servicio y protección del Comercio ante su Soberano y Patria.

Diary Entry

We wrote 2 diary entries as if we were Dr. Jekyll. The first one was before using the potion for the first time and the second one was after using it.

London

4^th July, 1889

Dear diary:

I have just finished my potion, now I can see my evil personality!  I am so happy! I am very excited now, I cannot wait to drink it and to live as my evil part. It will be great! I do not know what I can do, and neither what I will do, but they will not be good things, it is an evil personality, not a good one. Definitely I will do bad things, and someone can catch me, but if I go out at night I will have the whole city for my own, and that will be fascinating (and also interesting). I have to avoid looking like both of my personalities, because they seem to have something in common and, also, I have to invent a name so they don’t recognize me, but, how can it be?… it will be as if I am hiding from the world, from the city, from society, so it can be related to that, so, it could be Mr. …Hyde. In this moment I am in my home waiting for my servant to go to sleep so I can drink the potion and se the effects.

Good-bye, Henry

London

6^th July, 1889

Dear diary:

I had my first experience with the potion, two days ago. It was amazing! The potion worked perfectly! The effects were as I thought, my body was smaller than my original one and I was uglier, and more disgusting. I could do whatever I wanted and nobody recognized my, because, they could recognize me, maybe if someone saw me getting out of my house and thought it was me (Dr. Jekyll), equally, when I was coming home I entered through the back door, and I realized that I could use that one (nobody knows that the door is mine) I am also very happy because I can remember it all. When I started creating the potion, I was scared due to the fact that probably I could not remember what I would do as Mr. Hyde because, basically, we are two different people, but I could! I am writing to you from my lab, I just wanted to tell you how my experiences were and that I am going to repeat it tonight.

Good-bye, Henry

The Hobbit 2

The Hobbit 2

After the first part of the movie, Bilbo (the hobbit), Gandalf (a wizard) and the dwarves continued their adventure through the Middle Earth. They were escaping from a group of goblins that were chasing them, so they went to the house of a giant man who had the ability of turning into a gigantic bear. After spending the night there, they went into the Black Wood and got captured by the elves (Gandalf had left before entering the forest because he had to investigate something). When they escaped from the elves they reached a lake and asked a merchant to take them to the city in the lake. From there, they went to the Lonely Mountain and entered Erebor. Bilbo tried to steal the stone from Smaug, and the dwarves and the dragon had a fight. The dragon (Smaug) left the city and was going to attack the city in the lake. Nevertheless, this will be developed in the third and final part of the movie.

Description of a Place: Paris

Paris

Paris is the capital city of France. There you can see the Eiffel Tower and there are lots of things to do. It was founded in 352 a.C. Paris is the City of Light and I can get there by plane. It's a very big and beautiful city. It´s located in France, Europe and it´s the country's capital city. Paris has 12 millions inhabitants approximately. Rain falls throughout the year.

Some good points about the city are that it is a very big and beautiful city with a lot of things to see and do. Another good thing about Paris is that it is very colourful and full of life city.
Bad points about Paris are that it is always full of people, and, if you are planning to do something outdoors, it rains all along the year.
In Paris therer are lots of things o do and see: there are museums as the Louvre and the Museé d'Orsay. It is also also known as the "international capital city of style". There are also iconic buildings to see like the Arc of Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower.
Paris is one of my favourite cities in the worldbecause I really like it and I think it's a very interestingplace to visit.

Trabajo Grupal

En base a las obras vistas en el MACBA pensamos distintas frases con las palabras que representaban para nosotros y realizamos distintos trabajos. En dos de ellos usamos letras recortadas de revistas y en el otro usamos tizas e intervinimos el patio del colegio.
Este es el primer trabajo, en el que trabajé con Lautaro, Valentín, Pilar y Santiago:

A partir de la frase que utilizamos para hacer el trabajo, hicimos una intervención en el patio del colegio usando tizas:

"En una multitud puede haber discriminación, confusión y oposición." 

El otro trabajo realizado lo hicimos también con chicos del otro curso, yo trabajé con Cecilia, Ramiro, Felicitas y Valentina:

MACBA

En el MACBA vimos distintas obras, pero las que mas nos llamaron la atención fueron estas:

Vibración - Damero gigante – Oposición - Contra el racismo – Confusión – Multitud – Desorden – Movimiento – Ajedrez – Marco – Zigzag - Se cierra y se abre

Nerviosismo – Conexión – Rapidez – Colores – Rayos – Círculos – Movimiento – Rectángulos – Encuadre – Enfoque – Óvalos – Zoom – Divertido – Superposición – Líneas de colores – Velocidad – Flasheabilidad – Metamorfosis – Felicidad – Pelotas de rugby – Fusión – Está desapareciendo – Transición – Humo.

Historia

A partir de la composición de figuras geométricas d un compañero, escribimos una historia y la representamos en otra composición de figuras geométricas utilizando temperas.

Un niño de unos 7 años tenía una pelota azul y roja, él amaba esa pelota, la llevaba a todos lados. Siempre iba con su papá a jugar al lado del río. Pero un día la pelota se fue al río. El nene se sintió muy triste y como ya no tenía su pelota se sacó su remera favorita, que era verde con triángulos azules y rojos. El nene volvió a su casa, que tenía forma de triángulo, todo en su planeta tenía forma de triángulo, y al nene le parecía gracioso, pero no se rió. Sin su pelota se sentía tan vacío. Años después estaba de vacaciones con su familia en Taiwan  y encontró su pelota, ese día pudo volver a ponerse su remera favorita y a reírse de las casas triangulares. 

Composición figuras geométricas.

Para este dibujo, elegimos una de las palabras del trabajo anterior (Caligrama) y la representamos usando solo figuras geométricas, los materiales que utilizamos fueron lápices de colores, fibras de colores y acuarelas.

Mi palabra fue "Juegos".

Caligrama

Primero buscamos una imagen de algo que nos represente y viendo esa imagen pensamos en palabras. Luego hicimos un dibujo tratado de demostrar lo que  esas palabras significan y escribimos las palabras en los bordes de las figuras.

Mis palabras fueron: yo - pasión - mío - pieza - tele - libros - play - juegos - libertad - autonomía - mis cosas - camisetas.

Más poesía visual

La poesía visual es un tipo de poesía en el que la imagen predomina sobre el resto de los componentes. Es una forma de poesía no verbal. Es un género propio y sus creadores se mueven en la frontera entre géneros, como la pintura, la música, el teatro o la acción poética y la misma poesía. Es igual de vieja que la poesía escrita y la existencia de caligramas y otros poemas figurativos pueden probarlo.

 La obra que elegimos es una poesía visual porque tiene la apariencia de una imagen.

 I LIKE DOING THINGS WRONG
