“Little Women” იმაზე მეტია, ვიდრე თაროზე შემოდებული, დამტვერილი წიგნი. ეს არის პარალელური სამყარო, რომელში ყოფნასაც, ალბათ, ბევრი ჩვენგანი ყოველი წაკითხვის შემდეგ მეგისთან, ჯოსთან, ბეტსა და ეიმისთან ერთად ისურვებდა.

 დები მარჩები განსაკუთრებული ნიჭითა და ხასიათით გამოირჩევიან. თითოეული პერსონაჟის სიუჟეტური ხაზი განსხვავებულად ვითარდება, თუმცა, საბოლოოდ, ყველა ჩვენგანის მთავარი შთაგონება მაინც ჯო მარჩია. როგორ ფიქრობთ, რატომ არის ის გოგონებისთვის ყველაზე მისაბაძი „პატარა ქალბატონი“?

ალბათ იმიტომ, რომ ყველა გოგონას ბავშვობის ოცნებაა, იყოს კრეატიული, მტკიცე, დამოუკიდებელი ადამიანი, რომლის ზღაპარსაც ბედნიერი დასასრული ექნება. სწორედ ასეთია ჯო – ჯიუტი, მახვილგონიერი, წიგნიერი და ნიჭიერი ახალგაზრდა ქალი, რომელიც რთულ სავალ გზას ირჩევს და სრულიად მარტო, დამოუკიდებლად მიუყვება მას. ჯოსთვის არ არსებობს გადაულახავი დაბრკოლება, სოციალური ნორმა, რომელიც მისთვის მიზნისკენ სწრაფვას შეაფერხებს. დამეთანხმებით, ყველას გვინდა, ასეთები ვიყოთ მით უმეტეს მაშინ, როცა ჩვენ გარშემო არსებული რეალობა არც ისე სახარბიელოდ გამოიყურება.

როგორ ფიქრობთ, ვინ იქნებოდა ჯო მარჩი თანამედროვე სამყაროში? ალბათ, უცვლელი სახით ის, ვინც Louisa May Alcott – ს თავის რომანში ჰყავს აღწერილი. ჯო მარჩის ხასიათი ნებისმიერი ეპოქისთვის შესაბამისი იქნებოდა, რადგან ყოველთვის იარსებებენ ადამიანები, რომლებისთვისაც ჯო შთაგონების წყარო იქნება და ყოველთვის იქნება ამბავი, რომლის გადმოცემაც მხოლოდ გენიალური კალმით შეიძლება.

ბოლოსთვის კი გეტყოდით, რომ „ჯოობისკენ“ მიმავალი გზა პრინციპულობაზე, მიზანდასახულობასა და საკუთარი თავის რწმენაზე გადის.

Alice in Modern World

რამდენჯერ გიფიქრიათ ალტერნატიულ რეალობაზე, პარალელურ სამყაროზე, სადაც ყველაფერი მაგიისა და მისტიკის საზღვრებშია მოქცეული? ალბათ, ძალიან ბევრჯერ. განსაკუთრებით მაშინ, როცა რეალობასთან შეგუება გვიჭირს და მისგან გაქცევა გვინდა.

Lewis Carroll-ის ნოველა „Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland“ თავგადასავლებით სავსე, სარკის მიღმა, პარალელურ სამყაროზე გვიყვება. მისი მთავარი პერსონაჟი, ალისა კი ორ რეალობას შორისაა მოქცეული. როგორ ფიქრობთ, როგორი იქნებოდა ის, როგორც თანამედროვე სამყაროს გმირი ?

Christopher Nolan-ის ფილმში “Interstellar” ერთ-ერთი მთავარი პერსონაჟი Murphy მამის კოსმოსში გაფრენას ძალიან განიცდის და თავისთვის, მარტო დარჩენილს წიგნების თაროს მიღმა ხმა ესმის – წიგნები თავისით ცვივიან იატაკზე. თავიდან გაკვირვებული Murphy მალევე ხვდება, რომ თაროებს უკან იმალება მამა, რომელიც რამდენიმე დღის წინ ცრემლიანი თვალებით კოსმოსში გააცილა. ამ შემთხვევის შემდეგ Murphy-სთვის წიგნების თაროს პარალელური მხარე ის ადგილია, სად ყოფნაც მისთვის ყველაზე სანატრელია.

რეალურად, წარმოსახვის ნაყოფია თუ სინამდვილე ალტერნატიული რეალობა, რომელში მოხვედრაც ასე გვინდა, არავინ იცის, თუმცა ერთი რამ ცხადია: მაშინ, როცა ჩვენი რეალობა რადიკალურად იცვლება და მასში ცხოვრება აღარ გვინდა, წარმოსახვის უნარს ვიშველიებთ, რომ როგორმე დავემალოთ, გავექცეთ და თვალი არ გავუსწოროთ მომხდარ ამბებს, ცვლილებებსა თუ იმ ფაქტებს, რომლებმაც ჩვენი რეალობა ასე შეცვალეს. ზოგი ჩვენგანი ალტერნატიულ სამყაროში იწყებს ცხოვრებას.  Murphy-ც სწორედ ამას აკეთებს – რეალობას გაურბის და ცდილობს, მამასთან დასაბრუნებელი გზა იპოვოს.

ახლა Murphy-ს ცოტა ხნით Alice დაარქვით, იფიქრეთ, როგორია ისეთ რეალობაში ცხოვრება, რომელიც თქვენი სურვილების ზუსტი ანარეკლია და მიხვდებით, რომ, სინამდვილეში, თანამედროვე ალისა თითოეული ჩვენგანია. შეიძლება, ყოველთვის და ყოველდღე არა, მაგრამ მაშინ მაინც აუცილებლად, როცა ვხვდებით, რომ ამ რეალობაში არაფერი გვესაქმება და ალტერნატიულში გამგზავრება თავის დახსნის ერთადერთი საშუალებაა.

იქნებ, ალტერნატიული რეალობა წარმოსახვის ნაყოფი სულაც არ არის?

Gocha Tsiklauri – New Year’s story

In one big city called London, lived a little boy named Ebenezer Scrooge. In the city where he lived, the New Year was especially celebrated. On the first day of New Year, a parade was held, which was attended by millions of people. This parade was special because the money raised in it was donated to London charities. The Ebenezer loved New Year and always looked at it. 

It’s coming. On New Year’s Eve, he would put a plate on the table before going to bed to leave Santa present for him. It was dawn on New Year’s morning. The Scrooge was 4 years old. He happily waited for the gifts, but didn’t receive them. The reason to this was death of his father, who was sending money to Santa for gifts. So it went on every year, this greatly affected the small Scrooge, from an early age he had to take care of himself. Become uncommunicative. He lost trust in other people, he only thought about collecting money to fulfill the desires he had dreamed of as a child. 

Scrooge also treated employees badly, did not give salaries to employees. In modern life, Scrooge would not be able to retain employees and would have to close the company because without employees, the company could not exist.   

Ana-Maria Gaikharashvili – How Scrooge Met the New Year

One dark, cold, snowy night, everyone was getting ready for Christmas: cleaning the house and preparing various dishes. The children helped the adults because there was a lot of work to be done. Most of the children decorated Christmas trees. Scrooge decorated the house. Scrooge stood a huge Christmas tree at the entrance, hung toys on the Christmas tree, he lit a fire in the fireplace and hung socks on it. On Christmas Eve everyone was looking forward to the twelve o’clock. Scrooge wanted to have friends with him because he always had a good time with them, but his friends had gone to another country and were celebrating Christmas there. Friends who had gone abroad decided to go to Scrooge to America and spend Christmas with Scrooge when they arrived in America, went to a friend’s house, knocked on the door, Scrooge opened the door very glad to see them and brought friends home. They liked Scrooge’s house very much because he had a beautifully decorated house. Then stand at the Christmas tree with a table and put delicious dishes on the table. Shortly afterwards, the family visited Scrooge. He introduced friends to family members. They sat at the table, they were eating and remembering the good news of 2021. In the meantime it was twelve o’clock. Everyone went outside and started throwing sparks in the sky. They greeted each other on Christmas.

-Merry Christmas

-Merry Christmas

Everyone was happy, young and old. 

I want to see everyone happy in 2022 and I still want 2022 to be better than other years.

-Do you hate Christmas?

-Yes, I do.

-Ok, than come with me.

-I don’t know……ok yes.

When they got outside Professor saw sled. Next to sled there were deers. Professor Verity got inside the sled and they flew. Professor Verity was scared of heights and he was screaming. Professor saw big company. It was Santa’s shop. They landed and they went inside. There were elves. Elves were little. There were wrapping gifts for kids. Professor saw a big bike. It was pink and white. Professor started to like Christmas. Then they went outside and jumped in the sled. They flew. Professor saw very beautiful lights. The lights were in the city, mini-city. In that city there were elves. There was snow everywhere. The lights were angels, trees and gifts. Also there was a huge tree. That tree was very beautiful. It was time to go. It was 11’o clock.

Giorgi Romelashvili – New Year with Phileas Fogg

Phileas Fogg is getting ready for the New Year. He is very fond of the New Year holiday. Do you remember Jean Passepartout? Of course! He is Phileas Fog’s servant, who helps him in everything. Every New Year Phileas Fogg has a tradition of helping poor families, because he is a very kind person.

His wife Aouda prepares delicious dishes for the New Year. Reform Club members have been invited for the New Year. Phileas Fogg’s supper is varied. He also added Georgian dishes to the table (Satsivi, Gozinaki) and made the table more diverse. Aouda also added Indian dishes.

However before the New Year they decided to come to the children’s shelter because there is no New Year without kindness and gifts. They gave lots of nice gifts to the kids. The children were delighted and happy. That evening the big snow came Philia Fogg, Postpartum and Aouda stood with Santa Claus in the yard with the kids, hugged each other, then set up a big Christmas tree in the hall, decorated it with toys and had a fun time.

Twenty returned home with members of their Reform Club, Aouda’s Indian relatives were also welcomed, and they all wished each other a Happy New Year.

Tamar Lotishvili – Phileas Fogg’s New Year

New Year is coming. New expectations, new wishes and new adventures are coming with New Year. It would be interesting for me how Phileas Fogg, his family and his friends are going to celebrate New Year. This is what I am going to write about in my essay.

Phileas Fogg and his wife are decorating Christmas tree , Jean Passepartout is cooking ginger breads and other Christmas meals too, throwing fireworks, singing and playing, inviting close friends but they do not know how to use their phones so Aouda has got a friend whose name is Mr. Seeker. Aouda sends a letter  and asks for help. Mr. Seeker comes to their house and helps them. Phileas Fogg must be very interested in modern technologies, internet and this would be a challenge but he would not be afraid of challenges. He would use the internet and modern technologies to travel again in those countries where he travelled around the world in 80 days. Aouda would learn how to use internet and order food by Glovo.

Finally, if Phileas Fogg travelled in 21th century he would have some problems in learning technologies, but he would overcome it soon.

 As for me, I would like to travel in the USA, visit Disneyland and have fun there in 2022. I can visit amusement parks, a rollercoaster, fairytale land where I can meet Snow White, Elsa and many others.

After finishing writing a letter I put it into mailbox and went home. Finally it was January 1st, I ran down to my Christmas tree excited about my present. I saw a candy machine waiting for me under the Christmas tree, and I immediately started to use it. All you needed is to press a button when I pressed it, it gave me candy. After that, I called my friend and told him about the candy machine. He was shocked, he said: wow this is very cool can we test it together? I said that I have already tested it, friend: it’s ok I want to see your machine that gives you candy. Ok just come to my house and I will show you. The next day he came to my house and I showed him the machine. My friend said that we could use it to make Lilliputians happy, I really liked his idea so I decided to tell everything to emperor, he seemed to like it too, I couldn’t be happier.  After that I started to sell candy everyone in the town seemed to like it too, as the time pas candy started to sell even more and more candy, but one day…. something really bad happened.

კვირის წიგნი: I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai & Christina Lamb

9781780226583

*Winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize*

In 2009 Malala Yousafzai began writing a blog on BBC Urdu about life in the Swat Valley as the Taliban gained control, at times banning girls from attending school. When her identity was discovered, Malala began to appear in both Pakistani and international media, advocating the freedom to pursue education for all.

In October 2012, gunmen boarded Malala’s school bus and shot her in the face, a bullet passing through her head and into her shoulder. Remarkably, Malala survived the shooting. At a very young age, Malala Yousafzai has become a worldwide symbol of courage and hope. Her shooting has sparked a wave of solidarity across Pakistan, not to mention globally, for the right to education, freedom from terror and female emancipation.
