Gabriel's gift
H.Kureishi
This book takes place in
London and its
surroundings.
Publiced in 2001
· Gabriel ­ the main character (boy whose twin-brother
was dead, Gabriel's ,,gift" was his ability to share with
others what he felt and lived through by painting and
drawing
· Gabriel's mother Christine ­ in the good old days
designed trendy clothes for various rock stars.
· Gabriel's father Rex - a washed-up rock musician who
played in pop icon Lester Jones's band
· Gabriel's parents were the parents who began to
grow up with him, for Gabriel it was more difficult,
because there was no one with whom he could talk
about the so-called grownup things
· Gabriel's dead twin Archie - (Gabriel had a very
strong emotional connection with him)
· Hannah - au pair (mom wanted someone to keep an
eye on Gabriel an look after the house because she
worked most of the day and often in the evening)
Gabriel is forced to come to terms with a
new life as his balance in life is shattered
by his father's moving from the family
home. Rex is a musician who played in
pop icon Lester Jones's band. However,
while Rex has been leading a quiet and
modest life without a regular income.
Christine designed trendy clothes for rock
stars. Gabriel's twin brother Archie died
while he was little. Their family still live
and think according to the unwritten laws
of the late 1960s and 1970s, despising
anything connected with middle class.
When Christine has had enough of Rex and his lazy behavior
she throws him out of the house, and for the first time Rex
has to deal on his own.Christine gets a job as a waitress
and hires Hannah (au pair) look after Gabriel.
Trying to fend for himself well as emotionally supporting his
confused and confusing parents, Gabriel is forced to grow
up quickly with support only from his remembered twin
brother, Archie, and his `gift' the ability to make sense of his
world through painting and drawing. A chance visit to '70s
rock star Lester Jones ­ he crystallizes the anxious
emotions inside Gabriel and helps him to engage with his
gift and to heal the rift with his family.
L. Jones gave Gabriel a very valuable painting with what
Gabriel began to bring his parents together again.
The message.
· This is a charming, light-textured story
about talent, about how single-minded
creativity might embrace the heartbreaking
muddle of everyday life.
My own opinion
I think this is a very thought-provoking story
about how a few bad things together can
cause a chaos of one teenage boy's life
and how they cope with it gradually, in
order to move on with your life well.

The Pre-Raphaelites

THE PRE-RAPHAELITES The PRB was formed in 1848 in London and it was an association of painters, poets, critics, sculptors. It was founded by three Royal Academy students who wanted to brake free from the academic art and return to the moral and descriptive truthfulness that they felt was gone from art. (The Royal Academy of Arts is and institution with a purpose to promote the creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education and debate.). The founders were William Hunt, John Millais, Dante Rossetti. Because of the fact that they were all students they were also very young- the oldest one, Hunt, was 21. They were soon joined by William Rossetti(critic), James Collison(painter), Frederic Stephens (critic), Thomas Woolner(sculptor). The three youthful Pre-Raphaelites deliberately challenged the established view of art, drawing up a manifesto of their intentions and publishing them in the four issues of a periodical called

"Anna Karenina" Lev Tolstoi Part 1 The novel opens with a scene introducing Prince Stepan Arkadyevitch Oblonsky, "Stiva", a Moscow aristocrat and civil servant who has been unfaithful to his wife Darya Alexandrovna, nicknamed "Dolly". Dolly has discovered his affair - with the family's governess - and the house and family are in turmoil. Stiva's affair and his reaction to his wife's distress shows an amorous personality that he cannot seem to suppress. In the midst of the turmoil, Stiva reminds the household that his married sister, Anna Arkadyevna Karenina is coming to visit from Saint Petersburg. Meanwhile, Stiva's childhood friend Konstantin Dmitrievich Levin ("Kostya") arrives in Moscow with the aim of proposing to Dolly's youngest sister Princess Ekaterina Alexandrovna Shcherbatskaya, "Kitty".

1) INDIAN ROCK ART: A NATIONAL TREASURE IN DANGER Unrecognized, unprotected, this priceless legacy of primitive art has endured the ravages of nature only to fall victim to wanton destruction by ,,civilized" man. Like the huge stone statues of Easter Island and prehistoric cave paintings of Altamira and Lascaux, North American Indian rock art is surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery. Although examples of rock art exist at some 15000 sites in canyons, deserts, caves and river gorges. Nowadays, however, primitive rock art in the United States has become a new field of scientific study. Klaus F Wellmann wrote two books about rock art. He is a professor of medicine. Rock art represents the history of aboriginal Americans. In the most cases the art is an expression of ideas and way of life, ritual ceremonies, hunting, fighting. The pictures of people and animals are often strikingly lifelike and artistic. Many of these ancient relics have been destroyed by the ravages of nature and of man

Oliver twist - kokkuvõte

Chapter1: An unknown woman was found lying in the street and brought into the workhouse. She delivered a sickly child who had trouble breathing. The woman, without a word of who she was, died and left her new born boy, Oliver, to the drunken nurse that stood by. Chapter2: The State gave Oliver to Mrs. Mann who housed a number of orphaned children. Mrs. Mann took a large portion of the money given to her by the authorities for each child's food so Oliver grew up small and malnourished. On his ninth birthday, the town beadle, Mr. Bumble, came to collect Oliver and take him to the board for an interview. They told him he was to live with other wards of the state to become educated and learn a trade. Oliver did not mind this, but soon after he arrived, the state decided to implement a plan that would save money by feeding the people very little. After a time on this diet, the boys at the table chose Oliver to go ask the head cook for more gruel. Oliver did this, and was taken away. A flye

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

November 8, 1991 Charlie has some good news and some bad news. Firstly the good ones: Charlie got a B for his English paper on Peter Pan. His language skills are also improving. He says that he wants to write when he grows up. At the same time he is helping Mary Elizabeth with her Rocky Horror Picture Show fanzine, Punk Rocky. Charlie also says that he loves Sam. And the bad news is that Sam has already a boyfriend Craig. Charlie's sister tells him that Sam used to be a "blow queen". This hurts Charlie very much, because he didn't want to think like that over Sam. November 12, 1991 Charlie likes Twinkies. He tells a story about rats, pleasurable rewards, and electric shock. It's a very interesting experiment and it tells that rat or mouse would put up with a lot more voltage for the pleasure. November 15, 1991 Charlie thinks a lot about his brother and his dad. I think that Charlie's brother and father are big idols for them. He says that he also wants to join a football team. Nove
