Essay of the "Door in the Wall"

We have to write an essay of a story that might be of "The Door in the Wall" or "The Fly in the Ointment" and it must have 400-500 words.

The “Door in the Wall” by H.G.Wells is a story within a story that narrated the story of Lionel Wallace. Lionel was an insane man and he had a horrible childhood because none of his parents paid attention to him and it was a strange child at school. He became crazy because he wanted to escape from that life, so he imagined a door in a wall in the street, he entered and there was the life that he could not have. The theme is insanity.

This man was really crazy because he thought fictional things such as doors that had paradises for children and enchanted things, so he was really insane. In the part that he entered to the door, he escaped from his own life, he escaped from reality. In all his life he could see the door three times, in some of the chances that he did not enter, he was on a hurry, so he did not do it.

Wallace had a friend called Redmond that did not belief him at first all this story, but then he continued justifying his life, or why he was crazy with the door with his childhood. Wallace knew that all these silly things that he was seeing were a dream, but a very good dream for him because this made him be happy.
He was very alone because his mother was dead, his father was an important lawyer so he did not have time to pay attention to Wallace, and his school friends treated him very badly. His father also punished him just because he saw a crazy door that any child could imagine. He was five years old when he first saw this door, so it was common for a child to imagine these kinds of things and use their creative imagination.

Redmond was like all the readers when he met with Wallace at the restaurant, he was surprised because he did not understand how Wallace could imagine all these magical world, but he finished trusting he finally, he realized that all this was product of his imagination because of Wallace’s sad life. It was an escape for him to be calm.

In conclusion, this story is very recommendable, it was amazing because it was very creative and there were lots of unexpected events. It was difficult for me to understand this story because it had a lot of difficult vocabulary in my opinion. In the end, if you are able to read and understand the story, you will have a lot of intrigue of a character because and unexpected event will happen. You should read this story twice in my view.

Her boyfriend was called Tommy, he was a materialist man, he was a drinker (of alcohol) and he loved car races. Mary and Tommy lived in a none beautiful apartments in London because they didn't have too much money to buy or rent a better apartment. They have been living in the poor zone since they were 18 years old. They got married and their relationship started being worse than other days. Mary wanted him to stop drinking and to find a job, so they got divorced. Mary was a weak depressed woman and she started vomiting everyday. She realized that she was going to have a baby so she fell in a worse depression that the first one because obviously, Tommy, the drinker, her ea-husband, was the baby's father. After a few months she knew that she had to tell Tommy that he was the father of his son. Tommy was very surprised because this wasn't in his plans.

Our teacher at school, told us to write a soliloquy before the author of "Pied Beauty" wrote that poem, when he take ideas and think about it to write it. It must have 250-300 words.

Soliloquy
Oh, I am Here! Finally I have arrived.  I am sitting at this chair, in the middle of the countryside, only with my folder to take down notes. What a beautiful countryside, it's so amazing. So lovely those trees, those animals on the gate eating, the noise of the wind of the countryside!!! It its so nice. I would like to live here, so peaceful to inspire me to write my poems... It's time to start thinking about what I am going to write about. I might write a poem that would cause an impact on people that will make them reflect about the beautiful dappled things that we have on Earth that will make them realize what world we are living in, that is bad to destroy it. First, I will take notes of all the things that I am seeing. Look  at the finches flying!!! So nice... The cows eating grass at the gate, the dazzle landscape and the sky... Oh look at the animals!!!! They are so strange. I must write a poem connected to God, to make them know who he is, and what he gave us, maybe the beautiful dappled things, I may tell people to thank God for these things. Really, my poem will cause an effect, I am sure that people who read this poem will reflect of what we are doing to the Earth. I am grateful of these things. It's time to connect all these incredible things and interesting ideas to start writing the poem. The poem must include in the first sentence the word "GOD" and it might finish with the words "PRAISE HIM". And in the middle of the poem I must say all the beautiful dappled things, and the lovely landscape that I have seen.This was Gerard Manley Hopkins.

dappled Animals.

Diary Entry

Our teacher told us to think about the poem "A different history" by Sujata Bhatt. We should remember the theme of the poem and write a diary entry as if we were Sujata Bhat in the times in which the British were colonizing India. We must write 250-300 words.

Here is my Diary Entry:

September 15, 1971.

Dear Diary,
Today is a terrible and stressful day. The British are destroying our conuntry because they are imposing their culture. They are murdering us like animals and I am feeling sad and bad because we are disappearing in a way! At the morning they killed a lovely friend because he was against the British colonization. I cried a lot because I hate these idiots that think they are more powerful people, but they are agressive and helpless guys. We are losing our identities, culture, language and our traditions. Before the British problem, we were really happy, free, each person was with their religion and we studied. But now, we are being destroyed practically. They are abusing of us, I really don't know how this is happening and who the British think that they are. They had taken our ideas, knowledge, identities, they stole us. I had a lot of plans, but what can I do? We are dissappearing. At the afternoon they announced that India is British property. Oh god! That really made me feel so angry... Also, they told us that if we didn't do what they wanted, we would die, we would be murdered. So... we are trying to hide from them, now I am on bed, not happy, and not sad because we will never have peace. I really don't want to be at this place, I am tired and annoyed at this situation, I would like all this to be solved by someone, the man who solves this problem, will be my hero.

Bye, Sujata Bhatt.
