E-assignment 3

Part 1:

Ode to the dreamers

Ode to the people who dreams
They are the builders of our world

Ode to their dreams
Everyday is seen as a new opportunity
Everyday is full of hope
Full of hope for a new life

Ode to their acheivements
Followers of dreams
Allowing themselves to dream
Willing them to come true

Ode to their courage
Their will to risk everything
Their will to succeed
They are all living the dream


Part 2

A beautiful mistake

I did not want you,
I did not need you,
I did not expect you,

You were a mistake,
But such a beautiful mistake,
I had to let go of my dreams,
But I started new ones,
I discovered a world I would never have seen,
If you had not been,

You were a mistake,
A glitch in my life plan,
But such a beautiful mistake you were,
You made my life complete.

Part 3

Limerick

There once was a guy named Gay,
Who was, and always is, a bit scary,
He always, wanted to marry,
A girl, just as scary,
And behold, he found, Mary the Hairy.

Part 3

- Ok, I guess this is it.
- Why do you say that?
- I´m saying that this is it. I´m finished.
- I don´t think I understand. What are you finished with?
- Oh, don´t do this to me. I know that you know exactly what I mean.
- No, I don´t.
- Yes, you do. We have discussed this over and over again.
- i thought that it was like all the other times. I didn´t think you meant it.
- But this time is different, I do mean it!
- Please, don´t do it. I beg you.
- You have known this for weeks.
- But I´m not ready yet.
- Too bad.
- You don´t have to be mean about it.
- Yes, I do. `Cause obviously you can´t understand it if I don´t pound it into your thick skull.
- But, I don´t want you to do it. I won´t let you.
- You have to, you have no choice. You´re not the boss of me.
- Please, don´t do this.
- It´s too late, I´m leaving now.
- But I love you!
- And I don´t love you, I can´t do this anymore. Goodbye.

Part 2

In a little village in a far away land, there was a small village in which it lived a young couple with their small daughter. As night were falling, the family gathered around the fireplace.

- Please tell me a goodnight story daddy, said the little girl to her father.
- Aren´t you supposed to be in bed by now?, he saked the little girl that were standing beside his chair in her red pyjamas.
- No, not yet. I´m not tired, the little girl said.
- Ok, then, jump up, he said and patted his knees and the girl climbed up and settled in his lap.
- What story would you like to hear?
- Could you tell me the one about when you were a soldier in the war daddy? It is my favourite.
- Really? he said, sounding surprised.
- Aren´t you araid that you will get nightmares? It´s quite a scary story, he said warningly.
- No, I´m not, the little girl anwered. ´Cause when I become a soldier I have to know that kind of stuff.
- So you´re gonna be a soldier? He smiled down at her.
- Yes I am, I´m gonna be just like you daddy. I´m gonna be the best soldier ever!, she said with a stubborn look on her face.
The her mother came in to the room.
- Time to go to bed honey, she said to the little girl.
- But mom, I haven´t heard the story yet!, the little girl complained.
- Daddy will have to tell you the story another time, her mother said firmly.
- But mom!
- No buts young lady. It´s way past your bed time.
- We´d better do as she says, her father said.
- Ok, the little girl said reluctantly and walked over to her mother who took her hand.
- Good night honey, her father said as they walked towards the little girls bedroom.
- Good night daddy.

E-writing assignment 2

Part 1:
b) A childlike creature dressed in muddy rags is rudely awakened from her sleep by what appears to be an inquisitive leprechaun prodding her with an oak twig.
- Stop doing that! Ann said and turned her back to the figure standing beside her.
- Please, miss Ann, you need to wake up now, the leprechaun said with a squeky voice.
- Leave me alone, can´t you see I´m sleeping.
- But miss Ann, I need to tell you something important.
- Oh, alright then, Ann said with a groan and threw of her blanket and turned towards the little man.
- And what is it that is so important that you have to wake me up during my afternoon nap?, she said, and gave the leprechaun a stern look.
- I´m really sorry to wake you, but as I said, it is important.
- Yes?
- Let me introduce myself, my name is Patrick and I was sent here to tell you that your friend, Talia the elf, needs your help.
- What? Has something happened? Is she alright?
- She wouldn´t tell me, the leprechaun said with a sigh at her reaction. She just told me to come and tell you to come to the old oak tree by the lake and that she will be waiting there for you.
- Are you sure she meant right now? It doesn´t sound like it was that urgent, can´t I finish my nap first?
- She said to tell you to come as quickly as you can, so I don´t think so.
- Ok, ok. I get the message, Ann said and reluctantly got up.

- Are you sure that she meant this oak tree? Ann said doubtingly to the leprechaun as they arrived at the clearing which seemed to be deserted.
- Yes, yes. I´m sure, Patrick said impatiently. Maybe she´s waiting on the other side? He gestured Ann forward and she stepped around the big oak tree.
- Surprise!, a mix of voices yelled as soon as she came around the tree.
- What is this? she asked.
- It is your birthday party, silly, a voice said and Ann´s friend Talia stepped forward and gave her a hug.
- But I told you I didn´t want a party Talia, said Ann in a whiny tone.
- Oh I know, but I wanted you to have one. Everyone should celebrate their birthday, even you Ann, Talia said and smiled at Ann.
- And you!, Ann turned towards Patrick the leprechaun. You tricked me!
- No I didn´t, he said and smiled. I just told you what you needed to know and nothing else. That is not lying.
- Ok, I´ll give you that, but I will not trust you again.
- Fair enough, he shrugged his shoulders.
- But now, if you all would excuse me, I think I want a piece of my birthday cake now, Ann said, and with a smile she turned towards the big cake waiting for her by the old oak tree.
