William Shakespeare 

Romeo and Juliet Act III scene ii

Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night;
Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night.

Romeo & Juliet Act I, Scene IV

True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy.

A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act I, Sc. I
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
 

A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act III, Sc. I

And yet, to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.

The short second life of Bree Taner.

by Stela Makri

During the last two years, everyone’s attention was caught in the romantic film series entitled “the twilight saga”. The films have become a phenomenon all over the world and have motivated thousands of teenagers to read the four books, from which the movies were inspired. The books describe the story of a 17-year old girl (Bella Swan) who falls in love with a vampire (Edward Cullen). In the third book we’ve seen Bella being chased by an army of newborn vampires. However not everyone knows the other side of the story. In her latest book, “the short second life of bree tanner”, Stephenie Meyer describes the dark life of the newborn vampires.

            The book is focused on one vampire actually, Bree Tanner. Bree is not just a 15-year old vampire; she is intelligent, a characteristic that might save her life, or become the reason of her own death.

Βαθμολογία : 4.5*

Η ιστορία διαδραματίζεται στο έθνος Πάνεμ, το οποίο αποτελείται από την κυρίαρχο πόλη, την Κάπιτολ που περιβάλλεται από 12 απομακρυσμένες Επαρχίες. Μετά από πόλεμο, η Πάνεμ αναδύθηκε μέσα από τα ερείπια ενός μέρους που κάποτε λεγόταν Βόρεια Αμερική. Η Κάπιτολ είναι σκληρή και αμείλικτη και κρατά τις επαρχίες υπό τον έλεγχό της, αναγκάζοντάς τις να στέλνουν από ένα αγόρι και ένα κορίτσι ηλικίας από δώδεκα μέχρι δεκαοχτώ, για να συμμετάσχουν στους ετήσιους Αγώνες Πείνας, έναν αγώνα θανάτου που μεταδίδεται ζωντανά από την τηλεόραση.

Νικητής μπορεί να είναι μόνο ένας: ο μοναδικός επιζών.
