MY ADVENTURE IN NARNIA

Mary is a girl of twenty-six years old. Her parents gave her studies at University of foreign Lauguages and Literature. It was June two thousand and sixsteen, when she went to the airport to take her flight. After many hours (of travel) she arrived at her destination which was the city of Miami in Florida. Once she got to her hotel she unpacked and she started her adventure. In the afternoon she went to the beach, where she met surf instructors who suggested her to take surf lessons.

One day I was walking to school when I heard a loud screech from above. I looked up and I saw a huge falcon about to land on my head! Then the falcon spoke. It said it would take me anywhere in the world I wanted to go....

Me? Anywhere in the world I wanted to go? Nobody has ever asked me such a question. I started thinking. Maybe to Japan? Or better to England? Or Hong Kong? Maybe I looked puzzled because the falcon started to move his wings up and down as if going to fly away. London! I cried. So the falcon caught me in a full flight and we flew away. Flying is fantastic but, at the beginning, I felt a little bit scared and surprised. I don't know how we reached London. The general view of the city was breathtaking

But, a bad day, his mother died. He found her “adventure diary”. In this diary, there was a picture and it figured his mother out with his same blue eyes.

Sitting on the floor, when he took her diary, suddenly water started to flow from her picture, mostly from her eyes; he was completely submerged!

A little orphan girl called Lisa was living alone in the streets. Her parents died in a terrible accident just a week before that day. She was sad, hungry and without money and everyone seemed too busy to help her. She couldn't find a reason to live but suddenly a ten years old girl came to Lisa and said to her: ''Hi, my name's Rachel! What's your name?'' ''My name's Lisa.'' Answered Lisa happily. Then Rachel continued: ''Oh, that's a beautiful name! Would you like to come with me?'' At first Lisa was very confused so she whispered: ''What?'' But then she realized that someone was finally trying to help her so she accepted the invitation.

Lisa held Rachel's hand and they started to walk. ''I've always wanted a sister, but my parents can't have babies and when I saw you I thought you were the cutest girl I've ever seen in my life.'' Said Rachel while walking and Lisa kept smiling. ''I want to bring you at home! I'm sure my parents will love you!'' After a ten minutes walk, they arrived at Rachel's house and Rachel introduced Lisa to her parents. They fell in love with Lisa the first time they saw her and, when Rachel explained them the situation, they decided that they wanted to adopt her so Lisa became part of the family.

She took her inside a house almost destructed and asked her what&nbsp;happened. She said that her mother was died and her father was far from home since one year before. In that moment Lisa realized that the story which the little girl was telling was the same that her grandma has been saying to her since she was five years old. She understood also that her little girl was her grandma, but in 1943.

So she decided to go away to don’t change nothing in the past. She went back in the phonebox and returned to the 2015. During the dinner with her parents in that evening, she thought to tell her parents what happened in the morning, but she knew that some things don’t have to be told.

and I told him "I come from a world where society (especially teenagers) use hatred and bullyng to feel great..

In my world there is homophobia ,femicide and wars."

They sailed for 20 days facing waves and storms. Then finally they discovered island-shaped hands but it wasn't an island but a huge statue. Lilia and Maila explored the island and found two boys. With them they had children and lived forever on the island.

Suddenly a sailors shouted:” Light, light, we see an island, it’s the treasure island. Land! Land!”. They approached the island, they were curious but also afraid. The sailors landed on the island and they took the treasure’s map. On the map the treasure was indicated with a X. They started to look for the treasure and finally they found the it.

In each of which she stayed for at least two months and met many people and many different cultures; but none of them do she had never really felt home until when she not coming to London. In London she coltiveted her passion for the medicine, in fact, she studied in Oxford and specializing in the traetmet of the genetic disase that brought death to her brother, in memory of wich she set up a plate in her department.

Britney a beautiful girl , while was waiting for her bus home, thinks about the events of the summer which is just finished ... Every thing started in june ; her boyfriend had just left her after a very difficult relationship. Now she was finally free to do anything she wished .She left for Formentera where her face and body were appreciated by a talent scout who proposed her a beauty contest. So she had to prepare a photo book with a young and handsome photographer who was already famous in the fashion system .

One day I walk to school thinking how my life would be like in a fantasy world, as in the books. At one point I fell the emptiness under my feet and I see the land give in, I slide in an underground tunnel, screaming as much as possible. I slam my head and I wake up shortly after still confused by what had just happened.

Then I get up and I look around, I'm in a field but is very strange because the grass is taller than me. I see some people come to me saying : " Welcome to our village". I make my way between them and I see a village with very small house compared to trees that there are in the field. I'm very happy because my wish to go in a fantasy world came true. But...

Then I immediately asked a men where I was, and he replied... 

"in the world where hatred and bullying don't exist!!!"

Mr. Smile astonished replied " be quiet my friend and I will help you!!!"

SO I SAVED THE WORLD

I was astonished by those words, but I realized that I was in the World of the past,

I went to the tallest tower of that planet where the king Mr. Smile lived..

And if you saw them carefully, you could see millions and billions of worlds, endless seas, amazing sunsets…&nbsp;

His eyes were blue like deep sea and when he read, they were the only ones that we could see from behind the books.

My dream

By Mathias Vitaliano

During the party all were looking at the girl, that was different by the other girls, but the guy liked she for her semplicity. So the two danced all night long together and there was also a long kiss between them. All the girls were very jealous but this shows that you don't need every time to be another, but you need to be yourself without masks or tricks.

I find myself in front of seven identical doors. A voice from above tells me: -These seven doors lead to seven places: Narnia, Neverland, Wonderland, Hogwarts, Camelot, Middle Earth and Westeros

I went through the first door because I always dreamed of meeting kings Peter and Edmund and queens Susan and Lucy, but also because Narnia is a wonderful world surrounded by nature. As soon as I open the door, a hand takes me by the wrist and drags me in. -Majesty here is the fifteenth archer!-, a dwarf shout. -What?-, I ask. -At last!-, king Peter exclams. Centaurs and Satyrs surround me and in a few seconds I'm wearing a long princess dress, in the hand I hold a bow and on the shoulders I bring a quiver filled with arrows.
