Inspired by a dream of his beloved wife and model Gala, Dream caused by the flight of a bee, is a visionary and surreal painting by Salvador Dalì.In this 1944 painting, Dalì illustrates the effect that an external stimulus, perceived while we are sleeping, produces on what we are dreaming. The forms are very recognizable and well detailed. The painting suggests that the event is the result of a dream. In the foreground appears a female figure lying, almost suspended on a rock, portrayed while sleeping naked, it is Gala, the artist’s companion. On his left there is a bee that buzzes around a ripe pomegranate, also suspended. To the right, instead, there is a bayonet that is about to prick the woman’s arm. At the top, instead, there is a huge pomegranate, a symbol of fury, which tears open, from which a large red fish emerges. From the jaws of the fish come out two tigers, which seem to pounce on Gala. In the background instead there is the presence of an elephant, with very long legs, similar to those of a spider, which carries an obelisk over its shoulders: it enters from the right walking and, with the lightness of a dragonfly, does not create any ripple on the ‘water. The title of the work is therefore linked to a dream caused by an external stimulus, felt during sleep. The woman hears the buzzing of the bee, which flew around her ear during sleep; this sound therefore generates the idea of ​​the sting represented by the bayonet. While the sense of danger causes the image of the two tigers, black and yellow like the bee. The other painted figures instead arise from a series of associations typical of the sphere of the unconscious, as often happens in Dalì’s paintings. The shadow that is projected between the rock and the sea surface forms a heart. For some critics it is a declaration of love of Dalì towards his partner and model Gala. The colors in the painting are faithfully related to the objects represented: the pomegranates have a beautiful ruby ​​red, while, the body of Gala is colored with an almost ivory-colored complexion. The sea, or in any case the surface on which the scene takes place is clear and crystalline blue. Lighting is cold and glacial.

Social networks are an integral part of our daily life. They allow us to keep in touch white close and distant friends, to keep ourselves constantly updated, to tell each other and to confronts us. But they are also the cause of dependencies and bullying.

We have become slaves of the network. Social networks are popular and are used every day by millions of people around the world, but spending too much time using them can be harmful to our health and especially to our brains causing the same effects of the drug on our body: it produces dopamine, a chemecal that causes pleasure.

Social media can also cause cyber bulling, an offensiv attack with network tools: many people are sick and come to take their lives due to bullying, so we have to pay attention to what you post on social. Many people post inappropriate things just to get noticed or get so many likes and comments and it’s wrong because you have to be careful.

We must try to turn off mobile phones and live our lives!

The author Oscar Wilde publishes his story “The Canterville Ghost” in 1887 and it can be connected to Romanticism, a historical, literary and cultural movement that was applied in the nineteenth century.

This book talks about the events in an English countryide that confronts the family when they go to live in the Canterville Chase, a house haunted by a ghost Sir Simon that in 1584 killed his wife. There is a stain of blood impossible to remove from the living room. Every night the ghost came to disturb the family but nobody was afraid of him, so one day the ghost tell his sad story to daughter Virginia who decided to help him and go to the underworld so the ghost was buried forever. Virginia returns with a chest full of jewels given by the ghost to thank her. So she decided that on her wedding day se will wear jewels and tell about his adventure in the underworld!

The protagonist is a ghost Sir Simon, Hiram and Lucrezia Otis are two parents pf four children: Washington Otis, the oldest, the 15 years old Virginia and the twins. Mrs Umney, the housekeeper and Cecil, the future husband of Virginia.

My Opinion!

For me this book is good for adults, with light and playful plot and even for smaller ones interested in horror stories. I was very impressed by the tranquility of the family when the ghost frightened them, and the sensitivity of daughter Virginia when helps the ghost.

My experience!

On March 14th i went with my class to ESA ESRIN, the European center for Earth observation. As soon as we arrived they gave us a shirt with their logo and we went to a big room to do some teamwork so funny. After having fun, we moved to another room where they explained the various types of rockets and they made us build a prototype in scala so, after visiting other rooms; we went outdoors and tried to launch many rockets. I never did that and it was really exciting and interesting! Finally we returned inside and went to a room where we built a lunar base with various types of different materials. We had so much fun and we learned so many things about space, rockets, satellites etc.

It was a beautiful and nice experience that everyone should do!
