Charlie Chaplin was born to a poor family in London 125 years ago, but he became a cinema icon. His caracter the Trambis the most famous gero of the silent fil era. The tramb retired after the silent film Modern Times, in 1936. Watch it today - it's still very funny and very modern!



Rolling Stones
Anniversary

Rock legends the Rolling Stones have a big aniversary to celebrate: Their debut algum was released 50 years ago. No other rock band from the 19060s has had such a long, successfuland energetic career.


THE SCREAM

The Scream was painted by Eduard Munch in 1893. Der Schrei der Natur (The Scream of Nature) is the title Munch gave to this work. It is and oil, tempera and pastel on carboard, it’s not a realist picture it’s expressionist.
It shows a person with a terrified expression who’s screaming in type of bridge and the background is spectacular.
Munch is one of the most important expressionist painters and I think the scream is his better painting.
The scream actually shown in Oslo’s National Gallery. It’s the most expensive picture in history, it has been sold for 91 million of euros.

WRITING UNIT 2


TV HIGHLIGHTS by Marçal Alsina

My favourite highlight of the last season's TV was game of Thrones. Game of Thrones is an american Fantastic TV series; at the last chapter of the season the Lanister's house killed Stark's family in "The red Wedding". It was incredible. I'm so excited to see the next season. it will be in January.



Another highlight TV series that i enjoy a lot is House MD. House is a history of a very bad tempered doctor but he's a genius doing his job: he's the director of the diagnostic department of the Pringston Malborouf Hospital in Chicago. He's really clever and unhappy with his life, he only has one friend: Wilson, who works in the same hospital as an oncologist. the writers of this series has been inspired on the characters of Sherlook Holmes and his colleague doc. Watson.

Finally, I also love watching The Good Wife. this series goes around the live of a politician's wife who's a lawyer. Now you can see the froth season on FOX TV.
