"The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare
The Taming of the Shrew is a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1594.
The play begins with a framing device, often referred to as the Induction, in which a drunken tinker named Sly is tricked into thinking he is a nobleman by a mischievous Lord. The Lord then has a play performed for Sly's amusement, set in Padua with a primary and sub-plot.
The main plot depicts the courtship of Petruchio, a gentleman of Verona, and Katherina, the headstrong, obdurate shrew. Initially, Katherina is an unwilling participant in the relationship, but Petruchio tempers her with various psychological torments – the "taming" – until she is an obedient bride. The sub-plot features a competition between the suitors of Katherina's more tractable sister, Bianca.
The play's apparent misogynistic elements have become the subject of considerable controversy, particularly among modern audiences and readers. It has nevertheless been adapted numerous times for stage, screen, opera, and musical theatre; perhaps the most famous adaptations being Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate and the film 10 Things I Hate About You.

"Hamlet" by William Shakespeare
The Tragical History of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, or more simply Hamlet, is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601. The play, set in the Kingdom of Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle Claudius, firstly for murdering the old King Hamlet (Claudius's brother and Prince Hamlet's father) and secondly for then succeeding to the throne and marrying Gertrude (the King Hamlet's widow and mother of Prince Hamlet). The play vividly portrays real and feigned madness – from overwhelming grief to seething rage – and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption.
Three different early versions of the play have survived: these are known as the First Quarto (Q1), the Second Quarto (Q2) and the First Folio (F1). Each has lines, and even scenes, that are missing from the others. Shakespeare based Hamlet on the legend of Amleth, preserved by 13th-century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum as subsequently retold by 16th-century scholar François de Belleforest. He may have also drawn on, or perhaps written, an earlier (hypothetical) Elizabethan play known today as the Ur-Hamlet.
The play's structure and depth of characterisation have inspired much critical scrutiny, of which one example is the centuries-old debate about Hamlet's hesitation to kill his uncle. Some see it as a plot device to prolong the action, and others see it as the result of pressure exerted by the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge and thwarted desire. More recently, psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet's unconscious desires, and feminist critics have re-evaluated and rehabilitated the often maligned characters of Ophelia and Gertrude.
Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play and among the most powerful and influential tragedies in the English language. It has a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others." During Shakespeare's lifetime, the play was one of his most popular works, and it still ranks high among his most-performed, topping, for example, what eventually became the Royal Shakespeare Company's list since 1879. It has inspired writers from Goethe and Dickens to Joyce and Murdoch, and has been described as "the world's most filmed story after Cinderella".

"Mrs Bixby and the Colonel's Coat" by Roald Dahl
After reading the story do the following activities:
1. Analysis
With "Mrs Bixby and the Colonel's Coat" Dahl tells a story within a story. Analyse the language and stylistic devices used by the author paying attention to:
Setting
Characters
Dialogue
Rising Action
Climax
Falling Action
Narrator
Figurative Language
Atmosphere
2. Comment / Discussion
Mrs Bixby says that she feels "a sort of eternal patient, someone who dwelt in the waiting room". What does this tell us about their married life?
After Mrs Bixby reads the Colonel's note, she experiences a variety of feelings that the author captures in single words and short sentences. Is this style of writing effective? Make a list of her changing emotions.
Write a character sketch of both husband and wife emphasizing their differences.
Does it depend on whether you are male or female when it comes to taking sides with either Mr or Mrs Bixby?
"Man from the South" by Roald Dahl
The narrator is lounging by a pool at a hotel when he meets a strange little South American man in a white suit. They are joined by an American boy and an English girl,
and the boy offers them all a cigarette. When he boasts that his lighter always lights, even in strong winds, the old man asks if he’s willing to bet on it. The boy is surprised but agrees to bet a dollar. The old man laughs and offers to up the stakes: If the boy can light his lighter ten times in a row, he will give him a brand new Cadillac. If the boy loses, the man will cut off the little finger of his left hand.
After some deliberation, the boy agrees to the bet. They all go up to the old man’s room where he prepares for the bet. The boy’s hand is tied to the desk with his little finger sticking out and the man holds a chopping knife at the ready. The boy makes his lighter light successfully eight times when the door suddenly opens and a woman rushes in yelling in Spanish. She says that she should not have left him alone and that he has already cut off fortyseven fingers in the place where they come from. She had managed to win everything from him, but it had taken her a long time. The last thing the narrator sees as he leaves the room is the woman’s hand … with only one finger and one thumb left on it.
After reading:
Write a different ending for Man from the South. The woman does not come into the room and stop the bet. Think about which man will win the bet and what will happen then.

I am David. By Megan Macadam.
I was in this horrible and scaery concentration camp, where i was trapped in for 11 years. Over the years i was getting older and more intelligent, and all because of a good friend i had in the CC. Johanness was like a teacher to me. He taught me everithing he knew and everithing he could. But one day a terrible news came to the room, my dearest friend Johanness had died. Sopuestly he died of a hart attack. So then, some mothes later a soldier came to me and helped me to escape, he gave me a compass, some matchesess, water, soap and bread. And then he told him were to go, so i went to Salonica.
When i arrived i was tired, exhausted after of travelling. So i looked for the next ship that would sail in ilegaly. That ship would take me to Italy. My object there was to find a place to spend the nught and to eat something. I walked, and walked until i found a cave that had a beatiful view to the sea, so i stayed the night in there. The very next day i have to eat something so i worked in the street to buy some bread. Some people paid me very well and some didnt, so with the little money i had i bought some bread. Some days later i was walking, (i dont know were) and i saw a beutiful girl, a typical Italian girl, that was playing with his 2 brothers. They were playing with fire, so she got trapped with the fire, so i saved her ;). So as i saved her she invited me for lunch and to meet her family. Then i heard their parents talking about me (offul things of course) so i left.
I dont remember how i got inside the truck that drive me to Switzeland but i met a lovely old woman called Sophie that invited me to stay in her house until i got to Denmark. She had written a book. So when she let me go to her library book at her house i saw the book and it was my mother! So when i told her about my mother she gave me a plane ticket to meet mt mother. And when i arrived che was waiting for me. And know me are having a wonderful life.

"I am David" by Guille
Many years after David returned home he was asked to write an article about his life experience. Write an article to be published in a newspaper (our blog!) about everything he has undergone.
“It was just another night in the camp, I was lying in bed watching the time pass by when the man called me. He gave me directions to escape from the camp THAT night, I just couldn’t know what to think, months later I discovered that he had saved my mom, killed my dad and taken care of me giving me milk with vitamins and providing me company, but at that moment he was just the evil man that treated me badly. He left for me a bundle with a compass, some water and a piece of bread between the bushes.
The days that followed that one were the most beautiful and also the hardest of my life. I walked for hours and entire days southwards following the compass as I had been told to. I passed through forests and thorn bushes because the compass indicated. I experienced really scary moments but I survived. I arrived at Salonika and there I went on a boat and hided in the bottom of the ship. A good man found me and helped me to get to Salerno, Italy. There I discovered the beauty of life, the bright colors for first time. I continue travelling to the north, to Denmark. On the way I met a real family, true and first love, Maria, got a couple of enemies, worked as slave for a farmer, gained the love of a dog, watched the same dog sacrifice for me, and found a friend Sophie, the close friend of mom that got me to her, all for the first time. It really was the journey of my life and made me who I am now. It wasn’t all beautiful but I regret nothing. ”

I am David By Matias Johnstone
NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
I lived all my childhood in a concentration camp. When I escaped, I had only one objective: get to Denmark .
I started walking southwards with a compass till I got to Salonica. I got on a boat and travelled to Italy. I nearly died but I was helped by a man who gave me food and a lifebelt. Thats how I got to Italy. I stayed in a beautiful place and stayed there, but I got afraid and continued my journey, and I got to a house with a big vineyard, where I saved a girl called Maria.
I started asking for lifts, and got to Sweden. There an old lady told me about a woman (my mom) and helped me cross to Germany.
There a farmer shut me in his barn, from where I escaped with a dog that helped me cross to Denmark by distracting the guards. When I got to Denmark, I looked for my moms name in a telephone box. Then I went to look for her.

One day i was walkin through the big corridor and i heard that the mother thouth i was weird, at the moment i went to my room and I started writing a rote saying that I had to leave.
I walked, walked and walked up to milan, where a farmer capture me and made me work all the winter an his farmy he had a dog that live with me. I was so tired of this man that started diging a tunel, because I knew that the farmer knew that on summer i will scape.
When I was scaping through the tunnel, the dog started following me.
We walked for hours, till we reached another consentration camp, there were guards with guns, the dog started running in the direction of the camp, i started running when i heart a shot.
