Galveston is a city in the south of Texas. It was in 1900, 5 years ago, I returned from the great cotton port, I remember that at the time the Strand district was called "the Wall Street of the South". I had a quiet life, but that day of 8 September remained forever in my memory. When I saw far away these winds that tore homes and families, the how

Hello, today I would like to share a production that I created from a photograph of me. I used photophiltre Studio X and Adobe Photoshop CC. I decided to entitle this "Decay".

My favorite quotation is "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." by Groucho Marx. I particularly like this quotation because it is very funny. Marx plays with words while saying what he thinks, I think it's ingenious. I think it's different than classic quotes a bit redundant authors who make too muc

My favourite book is Halo: Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund. It is a science fiction story with the universe dealing with massive wars between humans and aliens and higher technologies. There are several Halo books but Fall of Reach is my favourite, it tells the beginning of a legend and the birth of the Spartans (entrained super soldiers) .The course

I am a casual reader but when I read, I'm focused. I can read anywhere and it's crazy because when I read I can feel anything! I can be angry, happy, sad, anxious, fearful and surprised!

Shortly after our arrival in New Zealand by Aurora. With other settlers, we were about to build Wellington. The Treaty of Waitangi was probably going to be signed, I took my chance without waiting for it to become official. I dreamed of travel and discovery for so long. During the construction of the first habitats we realized that the place was to

In early 1920, the University of Adelaide commissioned me to write a book assembling Aboriginal legends. This interested me for a long time, and when I saw the stigma of the white man on aboriginal. I could only celebrate our culture. I think any aboriginal could have access to the western lifestyle. But British settlers wanted to move from black t

November and December 1855, dates of the Wakarusa War in Kansas, the clash between the anti-slavery Free Soilers and Border Ruffians, supporters of slavery. This siege began with the assassination of my friend, Charles W.Dow by a pro-slavery. A stupid thing announcing another, the siege made only one poor dead, I think its name was Thomas, probably

Before diving into the reading of Animal Farm, I was reluctant because I had already read it in French a few years ago. Nevertheless, my interest for communism and its history helped me again and I really enjoyed reading this story in English this time, with much cooler names we must admit. Reading is fun with its many historical and symbolic refer

My favourite short story is Fever Dream by Ray Bradburry. This is a story about Charles, a 13 years old boy. He suffers from a serious illness and the doctor diagnose scarlet fever. But Charles claims that his hand is "out of control". He said that microbes cause illness but they also create a new being from his body. The doctor says that it all co
