Spark of my inspiration became the film "the pursuit of happiness". It was nominated for several awards and I must say that Will Smith is simply awsome!Don't miss it..<br /><br />The question I have been thinking a lot lately is what is happiness and how can we become happy? Is it a good relationship that can give me this feeling? Could it be having good friends? A good relationship with my family? Or is it simply the sense of wholeness when everything is going fine which is when I don't have something to worry about?<br /><br />A friend of mine once told me that we should feel happy only for being! We live without noticing we are alive, we are sure we will exist the next day and the next one and so on. Discussing this subject with all my classmates during our Philosofy class I realised that we should be happy that we have been given the chance to live and communicate other people sharing our thoughts and expressing our ideas. We should be thankful we have been born in advanced communities, where clean water and food are taken for granted. <br /><br />We should be really thankful that we don't die from deseases such as cholera or other illnesses and that we are given the chance to be educated and pursue progress in our life!<br /><br />So, don't complain all the time!Live your life as you want and if you trully believe in something it will become true even if it is seems impossible. Fate is in your hands!<br /><br />NEVER GIVE UP YOUR DREAMS!Take risks and you won't regret it..<br /><br />I wanted to share these thoughts with you because everyday I see ungrateful people. Ungrateful of what they had been given the day they first breathed. Don't forget that we have the chance to live only once and believe me, life is too small!The only thing we should worry about is our health. Did you know that stress can cause cancer? <br /><br />Reading this post you might think "What the hell is she talking about?How should we not worry when we work all these hours and still our future is uncertain?". The answer is that we have to have hope. Everyone knows that the world's economics are going worse day after day but when we realise what the real meaning of life is, <span style="font-weight:bold;">then we can be considered happy</span>....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-56030478503877904982008-04-30T00:56:00.000-07:002008-04-30T02:02:40.677-07:00Οδήγηση υπό την επήρροια αλκοόλ, μια πραγματική ιστορία.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIpVN-O1eaj3BY2dZ7eWH7J9gXT8_Mjml0fvhPTT-eux8JfMcPQFc_cNDo0lubHRFnlA2617BQNKlQS3D6-Rd7ewIY9y7rzr1V_vXhrn-fOjz01iLhL3QX-JmQz8auHhuDQUxR/s1600-h/990715951_2c8bf11a06.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIpVN-O1eaj3BY2dZ7eWH7J9gXT8_Mjml0fvhPTT-eux8JfMcPQFc_cNDo0lubHRFnlA2617BQNKlQS3D6-Rd7ewIY9y7rzr1V_vXhrn-fOjz01iLhL3QX-JmQz8auHhuDQUxR/s320/990715951_2c8bf11a06.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194959438750429970" /></a><br /><br />Μαμά βγήκα με τους φίλους μου. <br />Πήγα σε ένα πάρτυ και θυμήθηκα αυτό που μου είχες πει, να μην <br />πιω αλκοόλ. <br />Μου είχες ζητήσει να μην πιω επειδή θα έπρεπε να οδηγήσω μετά, <br />έτσι ήπια ένα αναψυκτικό. Ήμουν περήφανη για μένα, γιατί είχα <br />ακούσει αυτό που τόσο γλυκά με είχες συμβουλεύσει πριν φύγω, να μην πιω αν πρέπει <br />να οδηγήσω, σε αντίθεση με αυτό που μου έλεγαν οι φίλοι μου. <br />Έκανα τη σωστή επιλογή! Η συμβουλή σου ήταν η σωστή. <br />Όταν το πάρτυ τελείωσε όλοι μπήκαν στα αυτοκίνητά τους χωρίς να είναι <br />σε θέση να οδηγήσουν. Εγώ πήρα το αμάξι μου. Ήμουν σίγουρη ότι <br />ήμουν καθαρή. <br />Δεν μπορούσα να φανταστώ μαμά αυτό που με περίμενε ..... <br />Τώρα είμαι εδώ ξαπλωμένη στην άσφαλτο και ακούω έναν αστυνομικό να <br />λέει «το παιδί που προκάλεσε το δυστύχημα ήταν μεθυσμένο». <br />Μαμά η φωνή του ακούγεται τόσο μακρυνή. <br />Το αίμα μου είναι παντού στην άσφαλτο και εγώ προσπαθώ με όλες μου τις δυνάμεις να μην κλάψω. <br />Ακούω τους γιατρούς να λένε ότι αυτή η κοπέλα δεν θα τα <br />καταφέρει. <br />Είμαι σίγουρη ότι το άλλο παιδί που οδηγούσε δεν το είχε καν <br />φανταστεί όταν έτρεχε τόσο πολύ. <br />Στο τέλος, αυτός είχε αποφασίσει να πιει και εγώ τώρα πρέπει να <br />πεθάνω. <br />Γιατί το κάνουν αυτό μαμά? Αφού ξέρουν ότι θα καταστρέψουν ζωές? <br />Ο πόνος που νιώθω είναι σαν να με καρφώνουν χιλιάδες μαχαίρια. <br />Πες στην αδερφή μου να μην φοβηθεί, στον μπαμπά να είναι δυνατός. <br />Κάποιος έπρεπε να πει σε αυτό το παιδί ότι δεν έπρεπε να πιει αν <br />θα οδηγούσε. <br />Ίσως αν του το έλεγαν οι δικοί του όπως έκανες εσύ, τώρα να ήμουν <br />ζωντανή ..... <br />Η ανάσα μου γίνεται όλο και πιο αδύνατη και αρχίζω να φοβάμαι <br />μαμά.. <br />Αυτές είναι οι τελευταίες μου στιγμές και είμαι τόσο απελπισμένη. <br />Θα ήθελα τόσο να σε αγκαλιάσω μαμά....και να σου πω πόσο σε αγαπάω <br />Σε αγαπάω μαμά....αντίο!!! <br /><br />Αυτές οι λέξεις γράφτηκαν από μια δημοσιογράφο που ήταν παρούσα σε <br />ένα δυστύχημα. <br />Η κοπέλα ενώ πέθαινε ψυθίριζε αυτές τις λεξεις και η δημοσιογράφος <br />τις έγραφε σοκαρισμένη. <br />Η ίδια δημοσιογράφος άρχισε μια εκστρατεία εναντίον της οδήγησης <br />υπό την επήρρεια Αλκοόλ.<br /><br />Για περισσότερες πληροφορίες σχετικά με την επίδραση του αλκοόλ στην οδήγηση δείτε αυτό το <a href="http://www.medlook.net.cy/article.asp?item_id=2590">site</a><br /><br /><br />(Excuse my translation mistakes)<br />Mum, I went out with my friends.<br />I went to a party and remembered what you had told me, not to drink alcohol.<br />You had asked me not to drink because I would have to drive later and so I drank a refresher.<br />I was proud of myself; I had followed what you adviced me so sweetly before I left -not to drink if I had to drive- and not what my friends were telling me.<br />I made the right choice! Your advice was right.<br />When the party was over everyone got into their cars even though they couldn't drive.<br />I got into my car. I was sure I was sober.<br />Mum, I couldn't imagine what would come next....<br />Now I am here, lying on the road and listening to a policeman saying "the child that caused the accident was drunk". <br />Mum, his voice is so distant.<br />My blood is everywhere and I try with all my power not to cry.<br />I listen to the doctors saying that this girl won't make it.<br />I'm sure that the other child that was driving hadn't even imagined what would happen because of him driving so fast.<br />He had decided to drink and I am the one that has to die now.<br />Why are they doing this mum? Why are they doing this even if they know that they will destroy lives?<br />The pain feels like knives.<br />Tell my sister not to get frightened, tell dad to be strong.<br />Someone had to tell this child that he shouldn't have drunk if he was to drive.<br />If his parents had told him that, just like you did, I would be alive now....<br />Mum, my breath becomes more and more weak and I'm getting scared.<br />These are my last moments and I'm so desperate.<br />I want so much to hug you mum....and to tell you how much I love you.<br />I love you mum....goodbye!!!!<br /><br />These words were written by a reporter that was present during an accident.<br />The girl was whispering these words while dying and the reporter was writting them shocked.<br />The same reporter started a campaign against driving under the influence of alcohol.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-60504283190653826372008-04-23T14:42:00.000-07:002008-04-23T15:27:54.243-07:00the brave one<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a_PT4zvbhFw&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a_PT4zvbhFw&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />Directed by Neil Jordan, The Brave One has become the best action-drama movie I have ever seen. It was released in 2007 and became immediately one of the movies that you had to see. It was only nominated for a Golden Globe, but this definitely doesn't mean it was awful. The main characters are played by Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard.<br /><br />The plot is not that original. Jodie Foster is Erika Bain, a 30 year old woman working in a radio station, who is very soon to get married. One day she goes on a walk with her fiance and they are attacked by a gang in a park. As a result her boyfriend is killed and she is bitten until she passes out. When she recovers and finds out about her beloved's death she is totally shocked in the first place. After that she takes the law into her hands and buys a gun seeking for revenge. Will she be able to become the woman she had been before the attack or she will for ever be a stranger to herself? Watch this incredible film to find out.<br /><br />What I trully loved in this film was Jodie Foster's acting. She was totally under the skin of her character, Erica. You were able to see the despair and anger in her eyes. She was just aussume. Of course, it would be a shame if we didn't mention Terrence Howard,who played the cap that helps Erica mentally and practically. Another thing I liked was the music. It wasn't original, but at least it suited the scenes very well. I shall also mention the directing, which I think made the movie that interesting and believable. As for the plot, well it wasn't something new, it was the same old story, but still this story has become a classic.<br /><br />I shall recommend it mainly to adults and definitely not to children or young teenagers, because some scenes are very violent nad brutal. On the other hand if you love action movies, thrillers and lot of drama this is the perfect movie for you. So, enjoy!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-57090419691107017862008-02-19T12:22:00.000-08:002008-02-19T13:51:40.442-08:00bridget jones the edge of reason<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/movie/bridget_jones_edge/15.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/movie/bridget_jones_edge/15.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Three years after <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243155/">Bridget Jones's diary</a> the sequel came out in theaters. <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317198/">Bridget Jones: The edge of reason</a> is as clever and funny as the first one and was nominated for several awards.<br />. Renee Zellweger accompanied by Hugh Grant and Colin Firth is once again outstanding. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2004/11/12/bridget_2/story.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://images.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2004/11/12/bridget_2/story.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />In this movie we find Bridget in a relationship with Mark.

The plot wasn't as good as it was in the first movie but it still had funny moments. Who I like most was Renee Zellweger who got into the flesh of it. I loved the way she was embarassing herself; she did it in a so amusing way!Hugh Grant was also good as the sexy ex. Lastly I liked a lot Colin Firth in the role of cute Mark who loves Bridget no matter what her physical condition was.<br /><br />Finally I should recommend it to all. It's romantic, it's funny, it's clever,actually it can make your day!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-27547852516158237002008-01-30T06:28:00.000-08:002008-01-30T07:55:32.032-08:00HARRY POTTER and the goblet of fire (book VS movie)<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OGLzaVx-hUE&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OGLzaVx-hUE&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />When a best seller becomes a film everyone wonders whether it will be better or worse than the original work. The same thing happened when Harry Potter books became movies. Recently, I read and watched the 4th one and I must say I found both similarities and differences.<br /><br />Well, the main differences had to do with the plot,as many parts of the book weren't put in the film, i suppose because of the time limit;you cannot expect a 500-pages book to fit in a 3-hour movie with every single detail. But the gaps were so well hidden that only the readers could tell the difference, something that reveals the quality of the film.<br /><br />On the other hand I must say I was very impressed, because even if I had seen and liked the previous films, I was concerned about that one as things get more complicated;we have more characters and more ation. Watching it I realised I was wrong to worry as it was so good as the book. The music, and the excellent sets were fascinating and made me feel just like I felt during reading. <br /><br />The trouth is that no matter how much I liked the movie, I shouldn't try to compare it with the book as reading lets you create a world with your imagination. On the other hand I have to admit that the movie was amazingly good!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-10298624404162741222008-01-09T08:29:00.000-08:002008-01-14T12:13:11.784-08:00GREGORY'S GIRL<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kXRSlJbPNp0&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kXRSlJbPNp0&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />Gregory's girl is Scottish movie that was filmed in 1982 and has won one BAFTA award and some others. But don't be impressed because it isn't as good as you might think. Gordon John Sinclair plays Ggregory and Dee Hepburn Dorothy. Thankfully it lasts only 1 hour and 30 minutes.<br /><br />The plot has to do with a teenage boy, Gregory, that plays in his school's football team as a goalkeeper but is not good at all. Then, there is an odition for new players and eventually a girl joins the team. Gregory falls for her and asks her out but then she doesn't come to the date and he goes for a walk with other girls and then it finishes.<br /><br />That is what happens in the film. As you can see the story doesn't end. I mean I would prefer it to be longer but have a plot that would make sense. On the other hand it is very boring with only one or two funny moments but this is still not enough. As for the acting I can't judge the actors because I think that the script is very bad written and the characters are dreadful. I don't know if it was the scottish accent or the bad movie quality but as you might have noticed I didn't like it.<br /><br />Finally I don't recommend it to anyone because you won't like it either. The only people who can enjoy it are those who are reminded of when they were at this age. And take my advice and never watch a film whose trailer doesn't give you an idea of the story.<br /><br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="Shortboard" height="55" width="350" id="Shortboard" align="middle" data="http://embed.snapvine.com/flash/Shortboard.swf"><param name="movie" value="http://embed.snapvine.com/flash/Shortboard.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="flashvars" value="urn=http://www.snapvine.com/api/get_blog_post/eQfzxL7eEdyB6QAwSFxxvg&site=ms" /></object><br/><a style="font:bold 10px Verdana;" href="http://www.snapvine.com/blog/reply/7907f3c4bede11dc81e90030485c71be" target="_blank">Reply</a> | <a style="font:bold 10px Verdana;" href="http://www.snapvine.com/bp/eQfzxL7eEdyB6QAwSFxxvg" target="_blank">Get This</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-8491545615641772862007-12-18T00:43:00.000-08:002007-12-20T09:00:07.756-08:00doctor zhivago<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wAWrXTn5Www&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wAWrXTn5Www&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />Directed by David Lean, "Doctor Zhivago" is an epic movie based on Pasternak's novel. It was filmed in Russia, Spain, Finland and Canada in 1965 and although it is long -it lasts 3 hours- it impressed me as I don't expect old movies to be so good. The movie won many awards including 5 oscars,and was nominated for more. <br /><br />The plot is set in the 1950's when the General Yevgraf Zhivago (Alec Guinness) narrates his brother's life story to a girl to find out if she's his niece. The story mainly is that Yuri Zhivago(Omar Sharif), famous poet and doctor, despite the fact he is married, falls in love with a revolutionare's wife during the Russian Revolution. This woman's name is Anna Antipova(Julie Christie). Will they overcome all the problems and will they eventually live happily ever after? Watch the film to find out.<br /><br />As I mentioned before, I was a bit impressed as I didn't expect a so old movie to be that good. The movie was about the Russian Revolution and I must say that when it had to do with war it seemed real due to the special effects. Also, the acting was amazing as Omar Sharif, who's really handsome by the way, and Julie Christie got under the skin of it. I should also mention the music created by Maurice Jarre that suited every scene absolutely perfect and was the main reason I liked so much the film. Lastly it would be a shame of me not to talk about the plot and I feel I should congratulate not only the novel writer who's job was amusing, but also those who made it a film.<br /><br />The only thing I didn't like was that it lasted hours and hours and somewhere in the middle it became boring. <br /><br />So I do recommend it to adults but not to children because I'm sure they will find it boring. As for you that have decided to watch it, follow my advice and take a break in the middle so that you will be able to enjoy the other half that is the best part of the whole movie.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-50572237582957987222007-12-12T09:06:00.000-08:002007-12-13T11:49:04.267-08:00TOP 5 ROCK BANDS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.chart-blogger.de/wp-content/uploads/tokio-hotel-3.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.chart-blogger.de/wp-content/uploads/tokio-hotel-3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />5th place: <a href="http://www.tokiohotel.com">Tokio Hotel</a><br />I actually learned about them from a friend!

How are you doing? Is school still the same as it was when I left it? Here things are going well,but I miss you all very much. So,I’m writing to you to tell you about an animated movie I watched last Saturday that I thought you might enjoy. It’s called “Robots” and was created by…… Actors performing the characters’ voices are Halle Berry and Tom Cruise.<br /><br />Imagine a world where, instead of humans, there are robots. In this robot world, we see how an 18 year old ambitious inventor decides to see the big lights and go to the capital city to follow his dream. Going there might seem very easy for the young robot but for the first time in his life he realises that world is not a peaceful place.I don’t want to spoil it for you so just watch it,it’s very interesting.<br /><br />I liked it very much. Even though it was animated, it had a deeper meaning. Watching it I realised that you have to follow your dreams even if it’s very hard and that you should never stop believing in yourself and your abilities. The music was very well suited and the acting was very good as well. Also the animation was amazing; I mean, robots really seemed like real humans. The scene I loved was the one where the baby is born in the beginning and the other one where the main character uses transportation. You’ll understand what I’m talking about when you watch it.<br /><br />So I totally recommend you to watch it because you'll have fun. Actually your brother can watch it too. When you have time please call me. I look forward!<br /><br />Kisses,<br /><br />AntoniaUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-11874766683537040362007-11-28T07:26:00.000-08:002007-11-28T08:59:43.955-08:00MUSIC & LYRICS<a onblur="try

Hugo,"Les miserables" is a movie that will keep your attention till the last minute and won't become boring at all even if it's quite long:it lasts three hours.Some of those who star in it include <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000367/">Gerard Depardieu</a>,,<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000518/">John Malkovich</a>,<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001250/">Charlotte Gainsbourg</a> and others.<br /><br />The story is set in France during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_revolution">French Revolution</a> when Jean Valjean,an ex-convict who was arrested for stealing a loaf of bread completes his sentence,tries to start a new life.He becomes wealthy and tries to help others, especially the poor.One of them is Fantine who dies and this is when Jean decides to raise her daughter.But problems never end,as the first class inspector,Javert(John Malkovich), that had arrested him the first time still hunts for Jean because to him you can never trust an ex-convict.Will he be caught for the second time and go to prison?And will Valjean succeed in raising up a young girl?What about the Revolution?The only way to find out is to watch the film.<br /><br />In the begining I wasn't so exhilarated about it,because I thought it wouldn't be so good,but when I saw it I loved it.It wasn't only the story that made me excited about it.It was a combination of perfect acting, very well-suited music and amazing scenery.As for the actors I was really amazed especially by Gerard Departieu and Malkovich who got under the skin of it.Also what I found clever was that the movie was separated into two parts so that you could take a break in the middle or whatever.Lastly, I can say I agree with all those who have said that it was a stunning adaption of the novel,because those who wrote the script put everything in from the novel.Although it was long if you watched both two parts in a row,I think it was perfect.<br /><br />Finally, it would be a shame of me not to recommend it to you.So I do recommend it without any doubt;the only thing you should take care of is not to be tired when you watch it and be concentrated on the film,because you might lose very important parts.Also I must say that it's not so appropriate for children and young teenagers as it is based on a classic novel.So,after all these pieces of advice,have fun!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-87669995905385626592007-10-17T09:14:00.000-07:002007-10-31T10:51:52.214-07:00RADIOHEAD<a href="http://www.inrainbows.com/">Radiohead</a> is an English band that started selling their songs in a different way.For this they don’t need a recording company;they just record the song in a studio and they put it on the internet.But the weird thing with this is that you pay what you want,even if this is only 20cents or less.Is this a clever way of selling songs and if it is is what are the disadvantages?<br /><br />In my opinion,it was really smart of them to sell their songs without a recording company getting involved.As we all now,the artists are payed only a small percentage of what we give to buy a cd and the rest of it goes to the company.So if we think more about it, this band’s members make much more money than they would if Sony or Emi sold their cd’s.Also they seem to go with the flow as in our days the majority of teenagers buy songs or download them from the internet.<br /><br />Also, it’s better for the ones that buy it because you can give what you want to buy a song and solves the problem of many of us,especially teenagers,that don’t have so much money to buy all the cd’s they want to listen to.<br /><br />Another advantage for the ambitious is that this way of recording and putting your songs on the internet can be done by anyone if you have the right equipment of course.You can show your talent and promote yourself through the web and make money at the same time.This is why I do think it’s very democratic,because everyone can do it.<br /><br />On the other hand we can say it kills, in a way, professional music as all those who want to become singers even if they don’t have the talent for it will be able to record and sell songs.Of course this is what some recording companies do now but if the new selling system wins the companies this will become uncontrollable.Also if the companies close lots of people working there will become unemployed.<br /><br />In conclusion, I think that this new selling system without a money limit will become increasingly popular and more bands and singers will start using it.So I do think that Radiohead’s idea is original and will have success in the future..<br /><br /><embed

onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.livius.org/a/iran/persepolis/people/lydian.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://www.livius.org/a/iran/persepolis/people/lydian.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">THE STORY</span><br /><br />Candaules conceived a passion for his own wife, and thought she was the most beautiful woman on earth. To this fancy of his there was an unexpected sequel.<br /><br />In the king's bodyguard was a fellow he particularly liked whose name was Gyges, son of Dascylus. With him Candaules not only discussed his most important business, but even used to make him listen to his eulogies of his wife's beauty.<br /><br />One day the king said to Gyges: "It appears you don't believe me when I tell you how lovely my wife is. Well, a man always believes his eyes better than his ears; so do as I tell you - contrive to see her naked."<br /> <br />Gyges gave a cry of horror. "Master," he said, "what an improper suggestion! Do you tell me to look at the queen when she has no clothes on? No, no: 'off with her shirt, off with her shame' - you know what they say of women. Let us learn from experience. Right and wrong were distinguished long ago - and I'll tell you one thing that is right: a man should mind his own business. I do not doubt that your wife is the most beautiful of women, so for goodness' sake do not ask me to behave like a criminal."<br /><br />Thus he did his utmost to decline the king's invitation, because he was afraid of what might happen if he accepted it.<br /> <br />The king, however, told him not to distress himself. "There is nothing to be afraid of," he said, "either from me or my wife. I am not laying a trap for you; and as for her, I promise she will do you no harm. I'll manage so that she doesn't even know that you have seen her. Look: I will hide you behind the open door of our bedroom. My wife will follow me in to bed. Near the door there's a chair - she will put her clothes on it as she takes them off, one by one. You will be able to watch her with perfect ease. Then, while she's walking away from the chair towards the bed with her back to you, slip away through the door - and mind she doesn't catch you."<br /><br />Gyges, since he was unable to avoid it, consented, and when bedtime came, Candaules brought him to the room. Presently the queen arrived, and Gyges watched her walk in and put her clothes on the chair. Then, just as she had turned her back and was going to bed, he slipped softly out of the room. Unluckily, the queen saw him.<br /><br />At once she realized what her husband had done. But she did not betray the shame she felt by screaming, or even let it appear that she had noticed anything. Instead she silently resolved to have her revenge. [...] For the moment she kept her mouth shut and did nothing; but at dawn the next morning she sent for Gyges after preparing the most trustworthy of her servants for what was to come. There was nothing unusual in his being asked to attend upon the queen; so Gyges answered the summons without any suspicion that she knew what had occurred on the previous night.<br /><br />"Gyges," she said, as soon as he presented himself, "there are two courses open to you, and you may may take your choice between them. Kill Candaules and seize the throne, with me as your wife; or die yourself on the spot, so that never again may your blind obedience to the king tempt you to see what you have no right to see. One of you must die: either my husband, the author of this wicked plot; or you, who have outraged propriety by seeing me naked."<br /><br />For a time Gyges was too astonished to speak. At last he found words and begged the queen not to force him to make so difficult a choice. But it was no good: he saw that he really was faced with the alternatives, either of murdering his master, or of being murdered himself. He made his choice - to live.<br /><br />"Tell me," he said, "since you drive me against my will to kill the king, how shall we set on him?"<br /><br />"We will attack him when he is asleep," was the answer; "and on the very spot where he showed me to you naked."<br /><br />All was made ready for the attempt. The queen would not let Gyges go or give him a chance of escaping the dilemma: either Candaules or he must die. Night came, and he followed her into the bedroom. She put a knife into his hand, and hid him behind the same door as before. Then, when Candaules was asleep, he crept from behind the door and struck.<br /><br />Thus Gyges usurped the throne and married the queen.<br />[translation: Aubrey de Selincourt]<br /><br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">THE MORAL<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Candaules underestimates his wife even if he admires her beauty.Also in my opinion he thinks that she isn't as clever as he is and so she would never realise that Gyges had been watching her while naked. This can be confirmed by the fact that he shows off to Gyges talking about her only as a beautiful object that he owns.<br /><br />Now, his wife not acting at all as an object but making us realise how intelligent she is, shows her power to people being both elegant and female.She is the one that tells Gyges to kill her husband for her and then become king by marrying her or else he would be executed.He chose to do the first one not wanting to die and so everyone lived happily ever after...???As for herself I think she just wanted someone that she could use...<br /><br />The moral is that showing your power by being vain, doing such things to others and actually use them will harm you.Also that if you do something really bad to someone, the action will return to you in a negative way that you aren't going to like..So don't do things to others that you don't want to be done to you by them.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-85518020517023076862007-10-08T12:45:00.001-07:002007-10-08T12:45:27.103-07:00One World, One Promise, One Good Turn<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><object height='350' width='425'><param value='http://youtube.com/v/1oj5B4ZasM0' name='movie'/><embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/1oj5B4ZasM0'/></object></p><p>This year I haad the best holidays ever.The first thing I enjoyed was going to Fokies,a place by the sea,where I stayed with my friends(we were five girls)!We were all alone no parents and so we could return late at night,drink alcohol(we didn't drink much)and go whenever we wanted to the beach!!It was an awssume experience that I would like to live next year too..Secondly I went for another year to Thassos but this time it was different..My cousin and his wife were there too and they had their daughter with them.You should see how sweet she is!!<br /><br />Finally I went to my last scout camp(last because this year I'm becoming a senior scout) and also to the 1st jamboree of northern-eastern Europe..We met scouts from Albania,Montenegro,Romania and Bulgaria..It was just amazing although the comunication was difficult!We had to speak in English for them all to understand but when the conversation was around scouting subjects it was almost impossible...Also for us,scouts,this year was unique because 100 years ago Baden Powel the founder of scouting organised the first scout camp in Brownsea island!!</p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-60710028931610807172007-08-28T09:49:00.001-07:002007-08-28T09:53:07.696-07:00The burning of Greece-disaster , WHY ?

Secondly,the plot was very good if not great and very clever.Also what I enjoyed a lot was the acting.Meryl Streep really got into the role of Miranda Priestly and made her seem even more mean and selfish than I expected her to be.

I thought it would be boring and that it wouldn't help me improve my English.I was totally wrong.Good quality audio books are trully something that should be used by all teachers everywhere.Students not only entertain themselves a lot,but they also want more and more audio books to listen to.<br />What should also be noticed is that(especially about students that are a bit stressed of time) every chapter lasts 30 minutes the longest.Undersanding the meaning, but also learning the language becomes even more easy if you read the book at the same time.You have the chance to see new words, underdstand their meaning but also listen how they are pronounced.In some audio books there is also music that can turn a boring page of reading into a mysterious and even extreme experience....<br /><br />So for all of you, parents mainly, that think audio books aren't helping at all your children and that instead of this they should do boring grammar exercises only, I hope that now that you've read this post you will automatically change your opinion.<br /><br />DOWNLOAD AUDIOBOOKS IN <a href="http://www.podiobooks.com/">www.podiobooks.com</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17497068.post-10828648213679621382007-04-25T08:39:00.000-07:002007-04-25T09:00:36.086-07:00BABEL<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:C3A91YQm9p1HHM:http://www.moviezine.se/filmbilder/032/babel.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:C3A91YQm9p1HHM:http://www.moviezine.se/filmbilder/032/babel.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />"Babel", a movie with social content didn't impress me at all.It lasted almost 2 hours and a half and I can't say I didn't get bored.Only imagine that I almost slept in the first 10 minutes even if Brad Pitt starred in it.<br /><br />The plot did confuse me very much.It was about four different families, an American, a Maroccan, a Mexican and a Japanese.They all deal with problems that don't seem to be combined at all but in the end we find out that there is a very strange connection between them.It was very difficult for me to understand this connection but what I think is that the film was made to express the idea that we are all the same.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:X0bs3aw_zzXTkM:http://www.alarm-alarm.com/images/babel-movie-brad-pitt.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:X0bs3aw_zzXTkM:http://www.alarm-alarm.com/images/babel-movie-brad-pitt.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />As I pretold you, I didn't like it because first of all it was so long.I found it very confusing and really weird.Of course lots of my friends liked it very much because it has a special meaning but even if I share their opinion in the last part it wasn't what I expected to see.In many parts it reminded me of some documentaries and in some other parts it reminded me of some very bad quality movies.<br /><br />On the other hand, I liked the fact that Brad Pitt acted as a very different character from all the other roles he has played since now and also I liked that for the first time in my life a movie did make me think about its meaning and the idea that is expressed through it for so long.<br /><br />I recommend it to adults and teenagers(16 & 17 years old) because they won't get bored and will eventually understand the meaning and the idea expressed.I don't recommend it to children because it isn't a cartoon and they won't enjoy it at all...Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
