What a....?

Mix

I will tell things that happend to me during the weekend and first 2 days of a school week...so i called it MIX. This weekend wasn't as hectic as last one, i just did my homework and learned how to play some fragments from Metallica's - Master of Puppets, The Eagles - Hotel California(Acoustic) and Zhang Zhen Yue's - Lu kou (just intro). I wonder how i am going to pass over 3 provincials at the same time, i am trying to study some of math,social,english and physics every day but it gets mixed up in my head. Ms.Yu, what is best way to prepare for provincials? How?

Today we have watched ''The City of Ember'' movie that was based on the book that was written by Jeanne DuPrau. It has a connection with ''The Lottery'' short story and has elements of society and civilization in it. ''The Builders'' thought that the world was becoming to negative (abundance of technology,nuclear war etc.) so they have build ''The City of Ember'' under the ground, so people have a safe sanctuary,to hide from the upcoming radition. All in all they have reproduced society(traditions,values) by giving each old person a baby and sending them there, so old people would tell them about how they should live. It was a quite exciting strory so i am not surprised that ''The City of Ember'' book has received a Mark Twain Award in 2006.

Traditions(May 9th)



May 9th is a very important date in Russian calendar(probably for other Slovenian folks it is important too). May 9th is an official day of victory over Fascism(Nazism). Hitler's army was defended earlier than May 9th, but May 9th was a day when the last Fascist soldiers were kicked out of Czech Republic,it was a day when none of their soldiers were left at our lands. May 9th is a Victory Day and also a big tradition because we are paying respect to the veterans and we are showing that we still remember that heroic thing that they have done.
