Lemon knives'n'cockroaches (review)

Lemon knives´n´cockroackes is a science fiction story written by Carlton Mellick. The story deals with themes such as: sexuality, depression, death and freedom. These topics may adolescents fell identified with.

The story is about a fictional world in which creatures and zombies are the main characters of strange experiences.

One point to consider is that the narrator gives creatures and insects human feelings and emotions, and this can be perceive by readers through the vocabulary and adjectives used by the author.

Another point to take into account is that the author´s descriptive writing produces a sharp sensation on readers since they can picture the story in their minds.

The short story is bizarre but it will hold teenager´s attention since it is focused on young adults possible interests when choosing some reading material.

Music factor (TV show proposal)

Dear Sir or Madam,

Our names are Andrea Olazabal, Pilar Granda and Adriana Astrada. We work as English Teachers in public secondary schools. We think that nowadays there is not a TV programme which makes young adults feel identify with, so we want to propose you a project of a TV show related to teenagers´ interests.

The idea we have in mind is about a TV quiz show in which ten adolescents have to answer questions concerned with music. The show could be called `Music Factor´. The questions will be asked by a TV presenter and they will be about: the albums, the singers, musicians, specific dates, details and some other important information about the bands. In several cases the young adults will listen to a song or look at a picture in order to answer the questions.

The competition will have three series of twenty questions each. Teenagers will be evaluated by three judges and after each sequence, they will tell the participants the results of their answers. By the end of the last series, there will be nine loosers and a winner, who will be the one that will get the majority of right answers.

A good prize could be spending a day with his/her favourite music band and being a special guest in their concert in Argentina.

We are looking forwards for your reply as soon as possible.

Faithfully,

Andrea, Adriana and Pilar.
