Echo and Narcissus

The name of today's story is Echo and Narcissus, it was written by the poet Ovid and spcifically can be found in the third book of his poetry's book named Metamorphoses. Ovid's intention was to state how some thing were created and if we want to get more phylosophical, he wanted to state the clear difference between the obsession and the love of someone.

The story starts explaining us that Zeus went to the forest t play with the nymphs, Hera tried to find Zeus in the act but always a nymph called Echo appeared to her and chatted with her to give time to Zeus and the nymphs to escape. One time Hera discovered that Echo tricked her and put a curse on Echo, she could only repeat the last word of what other said.

Obne day, a beautiful young man called Naricssus was hunting a deer through the forest and Echo was spying on him. She fell in love with him, Narcissus realized that someone was following him, Echo ran ran to his arms but Narcissus pushed her away and told her that he would rather die than to love her. Narcissus ran away from her, Echo was sad so she went walking through the forest until she find a mountain and she decided to live there.


Narcissus continued hunting until he fund a hidden lake. He was thirsty, so he kneeled to drink some water, but he saw that someone so handsome was looking at him, he fell in love with that person so Narcissus tried to kiss him. He realized that it was his own reflection so he cried and his tears made the reflection disappeared. He spent a lot of days admiring his reflection until he died. The nymphs looked after his body but they only found a flower near the lake. Echo, in her cave, felt devastated after Narcissus death, and little by little she faded away and from her it was only left her lonely voice heard in the mountains after someone's last words.

Overview Reading and Writting Class

These 5 years of secondary in which I received reading and writting were different, each one had its own shine and its own darkside, but now that I´m leaving, I´m going to try to remember not only the bad things but also the good thing of this english class. I liked from this class that every year we had a different teacher, it was something unique and kind of refreshing. Also that teaching this class is important because writting in english like essays or stories and learning new vocabulary, something that is very important when you go to the university. What I didn´t like it was that maybe at the beginning of the year the class was a novelty but for the third bimester I was tired of receiving reading and writting, I didn´t find it new and assembled it with another and becoming boring and boring. Also, sometimes the lectures from the quizzes and exams have questions a little bit strange or difficult to find an answer because even in the lecture there wasn't the answer. At the end,

Overview Literature Class

Literature class, it was different from any English class I remember ever had, and I really like the way it developed over these three years. I liked it because of the way the class, read interesting stories that make up your mind and made you. Also because of the practices, each practice is unique and different from the others.  Some things that I didn't like were the notes because some of them were really big and the story was difficult to understand, also sometimes you didn't write a detail that maybe was part of the question that the teacher asked. And another thing that I didn't like was the participation from I news, maybe it was something interesting to make, but sometimes you can't find a new to say and that's participation lost. In the end, this class was better than the others. I like to thank Mr. Felix for being the most unique teacher and trying to make the course more interactive.
