Topic: My favourite place for holidays

Portaria is a village in Greece. In Portaria there are mountains and lots of beaches and very high trees. In the mountains of Portaria there are cows and sheep but in the sea near Portaria there are dolphins, turtles and starfish.

You can go to Portaria by car or by bus. There, you can see lots of sheep and cows. The cows are big, fat and funny. The sheep are small, friendly, hairy and funny.

Portaria is cool for holidays.

Topic: My planet

My planet's name is Jimland. It is green, blue and a bit red. It's a giant, it's warm, it has got life, three moons but it hasn't got mountains and rings. It's close to Venus and Jupiter. It has got an atmosphere too.

At Jimland lives a tribe whose name is Bou Pou Nou Nou. They have got purple tatoos on theor body, they wear white shirts with a little red, they have two hands, two legs and three eyes. They are tall and thay have short hair.

They are friendly, happy, sometimes angry but they aren't bad and they aren't thieves. They like board games, computer games and metal tags but they dislike fighting and bad people.

Topic: Blood Brothers, based on the song by Iron Maiden
See lyrics at: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/i/iron+maiden/blood+brothers_20067944.html

The song "Blood Brothers" was written by Harris, Stephen Percy and the group Iron Maiden sang it.

In the first verse of the song, the lyricist talks about "the garden of life". This is a metaphor. In the second he talks about the "memories from the past" through the line "just for a second a glimpse of my father I see". In the third verse he talks about the "mistakes of life". Then, he tells us how "ashamed" he is for our mistakes. After that, he makes us start thinking "what life really is". Finally, in the last verse he tells us to "never stop trying and learn from our mistakes".

In this song there are many metaphors, for example, "the garden of life". Through metaphors, the lyricist wants to explain things more easily because he creates pictures. Then, there are rhetoric questions, for example, "can you really tell me what life is?". Rhetoric questions stress the important parts and make them more vivid. Moreover, he uses rhymes, for example "at the wolrd in dismay", "a look at the war- torn affray. In this way he gives rythm and vividness.

Life is very difficult. All people make mistakes but then they must deal with them. If you want someone to help you look around and find someone who can help you and give you some advice. Sometimes, it's not necessary to find someone who is alive. You can find someone who supports your feelings and your beliefs. You must find a blood brother. For example, Alexander the Great had a blood brother, Achilles. He used to sleep with the Iliad under his pillow.

Finally, I want to say that I love this song. It's very helpful and gives very nice advice.
