The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

January 31, 2012

I won’t write too much today, since I don’t have any particular ideas. Plus, it will be small. I’ve written about the Hollywood version for Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” before but I did before watching the movie. Today I’ll be writing about something I know and not something I expect, like… [Read more…]

Carey Winston was a twenty-five year-old teacher who got her graduation three years before. Unfortunately she didn’t have the chance to start working right after graduation but she took that time to take her psychology studies a bit deeper. She has had a semester with a class on children psychology but she believed a semester… [Read more…]

Monday had arrived and Leslie was back at her new school. Her parents decided it would be nice to take her themselves this first week to check if everything was going as it was supposed to, so Leslie arrived at school about thirty minutes before classes began. There were barely any kids there, at that… [Read more…]

The Parker’s house wasn’t what people usually call a big house. It was a simple house with three bedrooms, a small living room, a kitchen and two bathrooms, one of them in the master bedroom. John and Melinda didn’t choose that particular house for its size; they chose it because of its surroundings. “And look,”… [Read more…]

“Dear Mr. President”

I don’t know if anyone outside of Portugal has heard of this but apparently our President is poor. I know Portugal isn’t in the best economical state but boy!, I never thought the President could get hit by crisis as well. Not at this point, no. “I’ll probably get about 1300€ a month” he said… [Read more…]

It’s quiz time! No, I’m just kidding. But I will talk about quizzes in this post. Everybody, and I literally mean every single person, who spends a big part of their day on the internet has searched for quizzes, either for fun or not. Some people believe what quizzes say because a few results were… [Read more…]

The journey Leslie would have to take to get home from school was everything but short. Their parents took her to her first day and they may be available to pick her up or leave her there once or twice, but the rest of the time, Leslie will have to take a bus. The journey,… [Read more…]

I’m going to start by saying that we should never speak about what we don’t know about. I did it loads of times and I’m never pleased with it but, let’s face it, that’s just how we are. About a year ago, if I turned the TV on and saw cycling there, I’d change channel… [Read more…]

“The Nightmare Before Vacation”

It’s been a while since I last wrote here. Busy times at college do this. To be honest, I don’t really know what to write about today. I’m doing this assignment about Franz Kafka‘s “Metamorphosis” to my literature class and I got completely stuck in it. I don’t know what to write, even though I… [Read more…]

September had arrived and, with it, another school year. Just one more to add to the count. Leslie was a 9 year-old blonde girl who seemed to be anything but fragile. She was tall and considerably muscled for her age. If one was to see her from far away, one could easily mistaken her with… [Read more…]
