" Violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume. "-William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 2.3 (New Moon)

farewell...

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

Whether I be far or near, may I hear only good news of you all.

A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you.

May you have warm words on a cool evening, a full moon on a dark night, and the road downhill all the way to your door.

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.

PAMUKKALE-ERCIYES LINE

Here are two different cities where I had chance to live in them. One of them is, with its white paradise Pamukkale; Denizli, the other one is, with its supreme mountain Erciyes; Kayseri. When you look at the whole picture, you will see huge differences but at the same time you will see perfect similarities between these two mystical cities.
Denizli and Kayseri are really far from each other but they have amazing similarities. First, both cities are touristic places. In summers Denizli, in winters Kayseri turn to a holiday paradise for tourists who love water and snow. People from the other countries, who have knowledge about Pamukkale’s ‘beautify water’ come to Denizli to see this world’s 8. wonder alive. Also tourists join ‘winter feast’ in Erciyes and they challenge with many talented skier. The second thing Denizli has a growing industry just like Kayseri. Kayseri’s logistics, which connects south and west, helps to improve Kayseri’s furniture industry. Also with its growing textile industry, Denizli goes after Kayseri. Next; as Denizli public, Kayseri public is so genial and cheerful. Besides, denizli people are known with their enterprising and also Kayseri people are famous for their incisiveness.
Even with their similarities, there are appreciable differances between each other. The first thing, in both places there are many social areas where you can enjoy yourselves. However thanks to its bigger acreage, Kayseri has more central parks than Denizli. While Denizli has limited shopping centres and amusement park, in Kayseri you can find many places to go and enjoy. The next thing is climate. Because of the different areas where two cities are located, climates of these cities are very different from each other. Kayseri has a harsh climate which brings snow and cold even in spring. In contrast of Kayseri, Denzli has moderate weather. Moreover with the help of its wide roads and tram, Kayseri’s traffic is fluent but I can’t say the same thing for my hometown Denizli, unfortunately. Recently, because of the road constructions in Denizli, traffic is becoming worse and worse for people.
Wherever I go I miss two cities. It’s unbelievable that my heart beats for two different places at the same time. I fell in love with not only their modern city life but also historical and mystic side of their face. When I want to relieve myself, I take a deep breath and let these two cities’ dream to surround me.

ReflectioNs about pReseNtatiONs

Up to now we have done so many things in our writing class but I think this weeks presentations were one of the most effective kind of experince for all of us. Each of us did our bests and try to present interesting things about ancient civilizations' crime and punishments. Our topic was Ancient Roman and Greece. That was the subject which I wanted to prepare on because I really keen on ancient roma. after these works my curiosity grew about ancient times. However there were some faults in our pronunciation but in time we'll be better. I enjoyed watching my classmate's presentations, also. thank you all.

THRILLER

I must confess i didn’t like Coco but Susan and Joy were acting so lovely throughout her that i understood, i had to learn how to live with her. One day Coco and i were in the garden. Susan and Joy were inside the house, they were trying to do Susan’s complicated homework. In the garden, Coco was trying to play with me but i choose to play alone. I didn’t need her to have fun. The garden was big and there were colourful toys for me to play. I started to chase the little, red ball. Suddenly i realised that the garden door was opened. I knew I had better stay in the garden for my own sake but I really wondered the outside. Nearly, since i was born i had been living in this house and i hadnt seen the outside. I made an elegant plan quickly. I couldn’t dare to go by myself and i decided to take Coco with me When i told the plan to her, she got very excited. We began to move so slowly. Nearly five minutes later we were in the street. It was so crowded that we were under shock. There were many cars. Some of them were little some of them were big. Each of them had different colour and shape and they were really very fast. Even though we were both scared, we were happy at the same time becouse for the first time in our lives, we were by ourselves. For two or three hours we walked in the huge, crowded streets. The weather was getting darker. Coco was smiling and she was talking about everything she saw. She started to annoy me and i said her to shut up. She knew i didn’t like her but she was still trying to get on well with me. While i was thinking about this, suddenly we heard a barking. We were in a little street and we couldn’t understand where the sound was coming. Both Coco and I were panting. In the darkness I saw a shadow. It was belong to a huge, black stray dog. While he was looking at us, his mouth was watering. He barked loudly again. He started to get closer to Coco. I understood that he was planing an attack. Coco was looking at me with her big eyes. I saw fear in them. That moment iI noticed that I care about her. Yes I didn’t like her but i couldn’t stand watching her while someone’s hurting her. Abruptly stray dog jumped on Coco. With a quick move I reached Coco before him. I cought her from her soft, white nape. While running from dog, I could feel his hot breath on my nape. I ran so quickly that I couldn’t see Coco’s bloody wounds. They were so deep that she was moaning with pain. One hour later, thanks to my strong instict I found our house. When Joy and Marty saw us they screamed. There were both happiness and anxiety in their voice. Susan cried so much that her eyes were red. She hugged Coco. Even if I thought I didn’t like Coco, I realized that she was one of the biggest part of my life. I hate her voice and her sassiness but at the same time I love her white smooth fur and her loveableness. After this event I understood how precious she was and I treated her like a gentleman.

First Post (:

With the beggining of the second term, we entered a thought schedule. this term, we'll try to connact on internet via blogs. Thanks to our reading and writing teacher Ms. Gultekin, we all created our own blogs. So that we can share our homeworks, ideas and other things we like. I think this is really beneficial. So I can see my classmates homeworks and can learnd their opinions. Besides, this week we learned how to write an opinion essay. I havent done my homework yet, but I think I got it and this type of essay, the most enjoyabe essay. see you on monday everyone, take care...
