People have long been divided into two groups when it comes to choosing between books or movies. Unfortunately the screenplay of a book often does not live up to the expectations of the audience, and reading the book is more interesting, especially when you have a rich imagination.
When we read a book, the characters come to life before our eyes and the environment where the action takes place is born. We bring them to life through our imagination, while in the film the director decides what kind of appearance the characters and scenes will have. Oscar is the cutest, but he doesn’t look like the Oscar I imagined.The book allows us to think, work our minds and find ourselves for a short time away from our everyday problems. Reading allows us to escape our reality for a moment or two. When talking about the positive qualities of reading books, another argument will come in handy. In the film,we see a beautifully dressed character. We know that he\she is a tragic figure, but his/her pain doesn’t seem to touch us.
Oscar is an ordinary boy…maybe a little smarter than his peers, but still ordinary. However, one day his life falls apart. The same thing happened to many people on September 11. Oscar found his own way. He faced many of his fears in his own way, and after the death of his father, he began a small investigation…Of course, after that, you will all agree that Oscar is a smart, purposeful and strange child. In my opinion, Oscar would welcome the New Year with new inventions.
One day from last year
If I had to choose one day to repeat over and over again, I would choose the last day of school. This is when I am at my happiest. I know that the holidays are starting and school is over. That is the best feeling ever.
New year in Georgia
In Georgia one of our New Year’s traditions is that of the Mekvle or first house-guest to enter your home in the New Year. This guest brings good luck and blesses your family and your home. Each country has its own traditions when it comes to celebrating New Year.
Italians celebrate the New Year by shouting and singing. At midnight, they throw old belongings out of their homes through the window and New Year’s sweets are made with honey and nuts. Lentil soup and boiled eggs are also enjoyed. The Italians also eat preserved grapes. Grape seeds are viewed as gold coins and whoever eats a lot will earn a lot of money. In Italy, grapes are a symbol of health, prosperity and long life.
