Cry Freedom: Film Review

A white newspaper editor (Kevin Kline) befriends South African Black political activist Steve Biko (Denzel Washington.) When Biko is beaten to death by the police, the editor writes a book exposing the government and he has to escape from the country with his family to get it published.

Black South Africans lost their rights ,and they were assigned to leave their territory. Steve Biko founded the Black Consciousness Movement, based on his philosophy that political freedom could only be achieved if blacks stopped feeling inferior to whites. This movie took plce in the middle of 1970s, when many africans were in jail or exile. The government banned Biko in 1973, restricting his movements and preventing him from being shown in public. In August, 1977 he was taken into police custody and died several days later.

My Zodiac: Aries

I was born on the 29^th March 1996. My zodiac is Aries and I’m going to talk a little bit about it. Aries is a fire element and people who belong to this zodiac  were born between 21 ^st March and 20^th April. An Aries is a person full of energy and enthusiasm. Pioneer and adventurer, loves challenges, freedom and new ideas. Aries prefer to give instructions to receive them. They are independent and worried about  ambition and goals. They have an enviable energy which sometimes leads them to be aggressive, argumentative, and moody.

Paris, France by Sara Rifki

The amazing and magical city of lights and love..Welcome to PARIS..

My trip to Paris :

Three years ago I went on a school trip to Paris. We went to Tangier’s airport. After three hours we arrived to the French capital and we installed at the hotel.

I was totally impressed by the magic and the beauty that Paris has, it’s true that Paris is the city of lights and also the city of love.

I spent a week there. I visited different famous places like The Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame de Paris, The Louvre Museum, The Sacred-Heart Cathedral, The Paris Opera and The Lafayette Gallery.

Every day we woke up at 9:00 o’clock to take breakfast and have a walk to discover the city. I brought a lot of souvenirs to my friends and family.

But I think that the most important thing in the whole trip was to across the Seine River on boat, it was so interesting.

The last day we went to Disneyland to have fun and to have a nice memory from Paris and the good moments we had there.

Writing :

La Nuit Blanche it’s a popular celebration in Paris since 2002. It takes place on the 5^th October and in this day people visit different museums, cultural institutions and other public spaces that are used to exhibitions, events and artistically performances.

In La Nuit Blanche different artists show their talent singing and performing. The objective of this big event is to make art accessible to everyone and also to make Paris a cultural city where people are invited to participate. The festivity is also extended to other cities close to Paris. In this night Paris gets full of lights and colors in bridges, streets, monuments and it looks like a real magical city.

In conclusion this night is the longest one in the whole year so French people stay awake until the sun comes up.
