In writing we had to write an essay about "The Strange Case of Dr.jekyll and Mr.Hyde", and here is mine. I do it with JuanKos.
The Strange case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde" was a story written by Robert Louis Stevenson. It talked about a man called Henry Jekyll that wanted to divide his own into two parts, the good and bad one. He obtained his goal but with bad results, not the espected ones. In this story the main themes were violence, duality of human nature and importance of reputation.
In connection with violence as a theme, Mr. Hyde used a lot of violence to solve many problems. Also he killed many people such as carew and in the Story of the Door it said that Mr.Hyde kicked a girl that was on the street. " with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot, and hailing down a storm of blows"
In connection to duality of human nature, the behaviour of Mr.Hyde was exactly like an animal because he moved as an animal, he killed for pleasure not to eat. Also he had a lot of hair like an animal, he did not talk very well, so in one way he was an animal. Also his behaviour was primitive, not like a normal person. " it was on the moral side, and in my own person, that i learned to recognized the thorough and primitive duality of man"
In connection to the importante of reputation, Mr. Utterson could damage his own reputation if people discover that he knew who Mr.Hyde was. And also if he talked, people would say that now was to late and so many people died. " here is another lesson to say nothing" " i am ashamed of my long tongue. Let us make a bargain never to refer to this again"
In conclusion this themes were very good conected to the story because they assimilated the story with real things in life. In my opinion is a story a bit difficult to unterstand but this themes help you a lot.

Once upon a time,a tall an thin called George Newman, he was about thirty five years old and was living in South África with her wife Ann Filthy and ver son Charlie. George had lost ver work and he found work in Canadá, so he and his family had to travel yo that country, if they wanted to have money and live well. One month later , George had already paid for the passports to Canadá for him and his family. The next day, they went to the boarding to set off to Canadá.
When they arrived at the boat, a very respectful girl called Tiffany instantly hosted George and his family, and she accompained the family to their room. The captain Jhon told Tiffany that she had to give to that family the worst room of the boat. When Tiffany asked why, Jhon said that was because they were black but Tiffany didn't want to do that and Jhon threatened that is she didn't do that, she would lose her work. So in one way Jhon was a racist and Tiffany was obliged to. Finally, Tiffany had to do what Jhon had said to ver and she had to give them the worst room.
When George and his family saw the room. They were surprised because that romm was perfect form them. They were living in bad conditions in South Africa, such as a small house and her things were untidy, so when they saw the room they were comfortable and they really liked it. The trip took about thirteen days, so they had to be patient, eat , drink ansixn one way live in the boat.
When they were at the middle of the trip, in the day number six, something happened, a big and strong rain was coming from the north.
The captain announced
" Dear passengers and turists, a big and strong rain is coming so be strong and put all your things in a bag and stay in you room"
George was scared and said to his family that they had to go to the auxilary boats because he said that the big boat wouldn't resist the storm.
When they went to the auxilary boats they found Jhon trying to escape
" What are you doing here?", Jhon asked
" Escape, like you I think", George answered
" You can't use that boat, you are black!, exclaimed Jhon
"Ok, but allowed my wife and son to go"
"No"
Tiffany appearred and shot Jhon in his leg and helped Ann and her son to escape but Jhon cought and kicked her. Then Jhon pushed George and George fellin the auxilary boat but his wife and son were in another boat. George went one way and his wife and son to another, George stayed three days in the sea but finally he came to the coasts of Brazil. George was very happy and sad because he hadn't seen his wife and son, and that was the last time he ever saw them.

Diary Entry
In L/L Writing we write two Diary Entry in Dr. Jekyll´s role. We wrote many Drafts to correct our mistakes. The first diary entry we wrote it about when we were creating the potion and the second one we wrote it about when we have all ready drink the potion.
The first:
The first:
October 11, 1889
Dear Diary
Today is a good day, the sun is yellow, there are no clouds and the sky is blue. I was in my house finishing breakfast and I was anxious to go to my laboratory to finish my potion of changing of personality. But first I have to go to the supermarket to buy some things like tongue of cow and some carrots. Now I'am in my laboratory adding the ingredients and finishing my potion. I have finished my potion and I'am not sure of drinking it and tasting it if it is good or if not I won't know if is it well or not. Well, one day I will have to taste it, I think that I will taste it tomorrow. I was all the day finishing the potion and now I will go to have dinner ad then to sleep. I can't sleep because i didn't stop thinking in the potion. I will try again to go to sleep and to thing in another thing.
Kisses
Henry Jekyll.
The second:
October 12, 1889
Dear Diary
Finally I could sleep, it was difficult but I could. I have already eaten my breakfast and now I will taste the potion, I hope that all goes well. I wouldn't tell to my parents about this if not they could worry about me.
I was horrible I turned into an ugly monster and I couldn't control my body, it was like if somebody else controled it. The taste was very ugly and it had bubbles. The worst thing is that once I drink it, the transformation will repeat again and again. I think that the other person will be called Mr. Hyde because he writes something and he signs by that name. I think that Mr. Hyde is a bad person so I will have to prepare a potion to cure me and be only Henry Jekyll as at first. To prepare that potion it will last a lot and I have to taste it sos that would take more time to have the perfect potion. and the perfect life.
Good bye
Henry Jekyll.

Australia
AUSTRALIA
Australia is an island surrounded by water. It is located in the smallest continent in the world. It is the sixth largest country in the world. The capital city is Canberra. The population is about 21 millon.
In my opinion this is a good place to go on holidays, but in summer. In summer it doesn't rain a lot, at that time the temperature is good. But in winter it rains a lot and also it is very cold.
In my opinion I really don't like that in winter it rains a lot and it is very cold. If Australia didn't have winter, it would be the best place of the world.
Well, in Australia you can do an see many things like diving, fishing, going on a safari, going visit the Kangaroo Island, going to the famous theater of Sidney, going to Cairns a small city where they have a coral reef in her beach and the Ayers Rock a classic in the heart of the country, It is rhe world's most enormous stone.
So in conclusion Australia is a very good country with a very big biodiversity, with a lot of places to visit and some exotic wonders of the world.
