IN HISTORYFAMOUS COUPLES

Juan Domingo and Evita were the ultimate political power

couple. They became one of the most beloved political

couples of the era.

On January 15th 1944 an earthquake occurred in the town

of San Juan, Argentina, killing some 10.000 people. In

response, Peron, who was then the Secretary of Labour,

devised a plan to have an artistic festival as a fundraiser,

and invited radio and fi lm actors to participate. After a

week of fundraising, all participants met at a gala held at

Luna Park Stadium. It was at this gala that Eva Duarte fi rst

met Colonel Juan Peron. They got married in 1945.

Eva Perón was the second wife of the Argentine president

and the fi rst lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death

in 1952.

Pets provide people with relationships that

are special and unique, as they offer people

something that humans just can’t provide.

Perhaps it is the simple distinction that pets

are non�human that makes the human�pet

connection unique.

HamletTo be, or not to be: that is the question.Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to su� er� e slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;No more; and, by a sleep to say we end� e heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks� at � esh is heir to, ’tis a consummationDevoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub.For in this sleep of death what dreams may come….

� ere is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. -Hamlet� ere are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Conscience doth make cowards of us all.

Henry From this day to the ending of the world,But we in it shall be remembered-We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,� is day shall gentle his condition;And gentlemen in England now-a-bedShall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks� at fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

Romeo and JulietLove is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,� at I shall say good night till it be morrow.Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast.But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

MacbethFair is foul, and foul is fair, Hover through the fog and � lthy airTo-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted fools� e way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,� at struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard no more. It is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing.

On Saturday, April 23rd, we all remembered the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death in 1616. Here are a few refl ections, both by teachers and students, on his life and works… as well as a handful of his productions!!!!! Enjoy!!! / Ivana Gambarrutta

SONNET NUMBER 12:When I do count the clock that tells the time, And see the brave day sunk in hideous night; When I behold the violet past prime, And sable curls all silver’d o’er with white; When lofty trees I see barren of leaves Which erst from heat did canopy the herd, And summer’s green all girded up in sheaves Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard, � en of thy beauty do I question make, � at thou among the wastes of time must go, Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake And die as fast as they see others grow; And nothing ‘gainst Time’s scythe can make defence Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

SONNET NUMBER 15:When I consider every thing that grows Holds in perfection but a little moment, That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows Whereon the stars in secret in� uence comment; When I perceive that men as plants increase, Cheered and cheque’d even by the self-same sky, Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease, And wear their brave state out of memory; � en the conceit of this inconstant stay Sets you most rich in youth before my sight, Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay, To change your day of youth to sullied night; And all in war with Time for love of you, As he takes from you, I engraft you new

SONNET NUMBER 18:Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? � ou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm’d; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

SONNET NUMBER 64:When I have seen by Time’s fell hand defaced � e rich proud cost of outworn buried age; When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed And brass eternal slave to mortal rage; When I have seen the hungry ocean gain Advantage on the kingdom of the shore, And the � rm soil win of the watery main, Increasing store with loss and loss with store; When I have seen such interchange of state, Or state itself confounded to decay; Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, � at Time will come and take my love away. � is thought is as a death, which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose.

SONNET NUMBER 116:Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration � nds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-� xed mark � at looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken. Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle’s compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

ROMEO AND JULIET� is story takes place in Verona, Italy, where two families that live in the same building � ght all the time. � e reason?� e Montagues steal wi-� signal from the Capulets and the Capulets steal cable television from the Montagues. � e person in charge of the building, named Sally, warns both families that if they go on � ghting they will sleep on the street and she will call the police.One of the main characters is named Romeo Montague. At the beginning of the play, Romeo tells his cousin, Benvolio, and his friend, Mercutio, that he is sick with love for a girl who won't love him back. Benvolio and Mercutio encourage him to forget about her and go with them to a costume party at a Capulet’s � at.� ey know it will be dangerous because they are Montagues, but they think it will be fun.Old Capulet wants his party to be a happy place for love to blossom, so when his nephew, Tibalt, tells him that there are Montagues at the party, Capulet demands that Tybalt leave them alone to enjoy the party.While Romeo is at the party he meets Juliet.

Teenage students at LCB Quilmes attended a workshop called “Shakespeare’s Day” to celebrate the lasting legacy of the world’s greatest playwright. After learning about Elizabethan theatre and social life they set out to adapt two of his classics into modern times…This is how “Romeo and Juliet” became a comedy and “The Tempest” a script for HBO.

What difference is there between Harry Potter and Don Quixote? Well, for once, Harry does not seem to be as crazy as the Spanish pseudo-knight, but, of course, one should say there are more differences than similarities between them. Yet, the public has gone crazy for Harry and only a select few have felt the same for Don Quixote. Still, the latter is as adventurous as the young magician, so, in a way, Harry Potter fans should thank Cervantes for the antecedent. Adventure stories begin with Don Quixote. That is how Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland emerges, also mocking ( as Cervantes did before- though in a more linguistic tone) adventure stories and tales of the like. Then Tim Burton comes along to destroy the magic. The fi lm becomes no mockery, dissolves the irony, and creates a story of real adventures where language has very little more to do than the famous, inescapable, “Off with her head!!!” of the impulsive, egocentric, ironically dis-heartened Queen of Hearts.The way in which some fi lms and contemporary literature have done away with the art of their originators is lamentable and must needs be mended. The greatness of Cervantes stems from his capacity to have mocked knightly writings of

his time as they were considered mind rottening enough to make a subject like Don Quixote believe that reality had an virtual hue. Is not the epic element in the cinematographic version of Alice the same sort of damaging mechanism on its audience’s thought? Why should there battles in fi lms for them to be deemed entertaining? Can’t the latter be summoned by thought? By raising questions upon our social order? By understanding the mise en abyme technique that we fi nd both in Alice and in Don Quixote and becoming dazzled by its effects of multiplication ab aeternum? Well, yes, of course it might, but for that to occur, we as a social body should begin to develop a gusto for mind challenges and a desire for our parameters to be shaken. Until we learn that our life as subjects is more than a mere repetition of routinous behavior we will keep on getting literature of the Harry Potter kind, and fi lms of the Burton fl avor. You might be cozy in your comfort zone but, is it not worth the while to plunge into the abyss of thought and its marvels? Give the classics a chance and delve in the wonders of mind challenging views. Life is way more than the mask it shows us in the effortless routine of our monotonous everydayness.

Movies

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to chose all your favourite characters from different movies and be told a story with all of them put together? Well, if you have, and like science fiction you should probably watch these two stories: “Casino Voldemort” and “I am a Father”.In “I am a Father”, Lara Croft, an intelligent and dynamic archaeologist, while researching in the tombs of Egypt, finds a boy who was holding a toy. She then realizes it wasn’t just a normal toy, it could speak and move and his name was Woody. All of a sudden, Darth Vader appears claiming that the toy is his, and then a fight starts with the incoming Spiderman. This story is well written due to the excellent narrative style and it has a unique way of catching the audience’s attention because of the well-known leading actors.On the other hand, in “Casino Voldemort”, James Bond is dating Princess Leia and his old envious friend, Voldemort, who lives in outer space, orders to cast a spell on a dinosaur in order to kidnap Bond’s girlfriend. This story has a romantic focus and shows Voldemort’s soft side in his desire to have a girlfriend.While the moral in “I am a Father” is that family comes first, in “Casino Voldemort” it is that one never really knows people in depth. So, if you are looking forward to watching an entertaining film, I strongly recommend seeing either of these two.Fiona Wilensky

Have you ever thought about a film in which characters from any kind of genre should perform? Well, yes, that IS possible, and has already been made. The next two films will be released in our country. The first one is called “Casino voldemort” and the second, “I Am a Father”.To begin with, in “Casino Voldemort” the legendary James Bond, who is played by a renewed Tom Hanks, marries Princess Leia. Everything goes well until an envious Voldemort and a dinosaur appear on stage. This film is fairly long but, without doubt, you will be at the edge of your seat waiting to see what will happen at the end. On the other hand, “I Am a Father” is rather a parody. Angelina Jolie lets us down with a poor performance as Lara Croft, who is working in the Egyptian pyramids, when she suddenly finds a little toy. Yes, you know who it is. The first apparition of Darth Vader changes the plot. Actually, this movie had a huge budget but in my opinion the director, James Cameron, did not do his best. To sum up, both movies are worthwhile. However, if you want to save money, “Casino Voldemort” will be a good option. Maybe these films will open the door to a different kind of cinema.Pablo Celador

for a twist

It is incredibly shocking to have the honour of being sitting on the front row of a cinema watching a film where Lord Voldemort, James bond, Princess Leia and the amazing T-Rex from Jurassic World work together as main characters in the newest Steven Spielberg’s film, “Casino Voldemort”.On the plus side, we are used to being surprised by all Spielberg’s films, and “Casino Voldemort” isn’t the exception. The special effects, which were developed by Scott Farrar (known by “Transformers”), keep the audience’s attention the whole film. The dialogues between Lord Voldemort, played by the great Shakespeare interpreter Ralph Fiennes, and the leading actor Sean Connery, in the skin of the famous secret agent James Bond, showed the unconscious purpose of the script writer to give the characters a deeper interpretation, different from previous films.On the negative side, it seemed that there was no coherence or cohesion in some scenes from the plot. As an example, according to a few colleagues of mine, the relationship between Voldemort and Leia was unimaginable but curious until T-Rex came up trying to kill both of them. That last scene was not expected by most of the audience and did not improve the film.All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending “Casino Voldemort”. An interesting development and shocking character interpretations make an excellent combination for a fantastic film.Adrián Urrutia

Students from the CAE course in Flores used characters from different films and created their own scripts. Then they reviewed those movies.

Flores from Lit to Beat

Tonight by the fi replace We sing the old songOf the girl who sold her soulWishing to be happyWhile in the fog she got lost.

Every day working at the loomMaking the fabric for her dressesShe would never wearStaring at a life that wouldn’t beWithout realizing she was getting closer to the cliff.

One sad evening of frosty windows,Detestable Death turned up.Limping by the side of her loomTo offer a deal she could not resistHer soul was taken by the mist.

Richness at the moment was the goodHer soul when decided was the priceDeath cackled while she squintedThe coins at the end of the rainbowShe could not see the trick.

The richer she was the poorer she feltOwner of a thousand dressesShe lost her dreaming eyesShe led a life of grey concernFor matters never endingly vainAnd when the moment of her burial cameIsolation shrouded her decayed smile.

Gina and Thomas met one nightAnd fell in love at fi rst sightAfter a couple of drinksShe had to leave the party they were atAnd frightened by the idea Of never seeing her again

He lurched after the girl.

When Thomas reached GinaThey stared at each other for a momentThen he offered a safe drive home to herBecause her heavy load would not let her pace the way.She willingly accepted and they both walked awayThe night was rich with comfortThe future bearing a family one day.

Antonella, Fiona, Guadalupe.

Once upon a timeThere was a manHe was limping through lifeHe had a goal, a dream to fulfi llThe rainbow he wanted to reachAnd owzn the gold hidden in it.

Staring at the rainbow was a girlWith eyes the colour of the skyWith which she squinted at the distanceA man too old to walk

As straight as the man couldHe reached the end of the rainbowWhere he found an incredible treasureElderly people can fulfi ll their dreamsAs much as the rest of us canOr maybe in a greater measure.

“Keep on Dancing”One day in the fi eldMom and dad were having a meal

She started staring at himBaby, do you know what I mean?

The rainbow turns upAnd everyone’s surprisedIt was me growing upAnd fi nally facing real life.

Adolescence is a hard timeYour friends jeer at youDead horses come aliveIt’s your life you’re going through.

Hard times always comeYou should stagger and danceLike a skeleton at night.

Even though you may staggerMove on and keep dancingLife comes in different fl avoursPick one and enjoy your ride.

“Cackling in the Rainbow Inn”It was just about another rainy nightNot many people were coming inBut at the distance in the Rainbow InnA horse approaches galloping.

An old man goes down strangelyHe is certainly staggeringIs he drunk? Is he tired?Don’t know but at something he is staring.

Is it me? Is there something about me?Then his horse seems to be cacklingWhat can it be? I am getting angry.I will show them in front of what a nice lady they are standing.

Pablo and Fernanda.

Students from the CAE course in Flores were shown a number of images from a novel by George Eliot and they had to use at least three of them to write a song. Also, they were required to use a number of ways of laughing, looking and walking. Hard job! But look at the poetic results!

AIR ATMOSPHERE

THE ATMOSPHERE LAYERS

Air is necessary because we need oxygen to breathe. Air is stored in: oxygen tanks, balloons, balls, tyres. The atmosphere is the layer of gas that surrounds Earth. The atmosphere provides oxygen that we need for living, protects the earth and regulates the Earth’s temperature.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THERE WAS NO ATMOSPHERE?

WHAT DO THE GASES DO?● They protect us from the ultraviolet rays.● They make the Earth a perfect place to live.

● Meteors would crash against the Earth.● Ultraviolet rays would reach the Earth.● We would have no air and no life.
