Our School Tribute to Poe

Posted by Esther
Edgar Allan Poe, America's best-known writer. He has been the pleasure of many a reader, the monster of many a critic, the obnoxious rival of many a fictioneer whose name has verged on pre-eminence and so been drawn into putative comparison.
This is our tribute to this undisputable classic of literature. Check our high school exhibition:




Isn´t it a great work? Congratulations!


Now, check the following animation movies on Poe´s "The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart":

Is Hallowe'en a frightfully good holiday or a beastly American import?

Posted by Esther

"Here's a scary thought: America's cultural imperialism is about to strike again. Like McDonald's and all those Saw sequels, the modern version Hallowe'en has gotten its hooks into the UK."

"Shops are selling all manner of Hallowe'en costumes and institutions from the British Museum to nightclubs to classical music organisers plan special events around the Celtic pagan festival turned candy bonanza".

So, how do you like Halloween? Do you think it stands as a revival of pagan old times or a new fashion from the US? Write a short opinion and post it in our WIKI ACCOUNT. Please, don´t forget to put you name and class.
