Trapped It's nearly 6 o' clock, my alarm goes off and makes my eyes open. The history book on my bedside table keeps staring at me. I know I have to revise or it'll be the end for me...I suspect my teacher can't wait to fail me. Time flies. It's incredibly late, I can hear my mother say “Hurry up! The bus is about to leave!”. It's too...late now, the bus has already set off without me. I'll have to run. The pressure is mounting. I've just come back from school thinking I can finally wind down. So be it, or so I think. Out of the corner of my eye I watch “Money Heist” while, with my mobile in my right hand, I chat with five of my friends on Instagram and record a message to wish Paola, my best friend, happy birthday (I'm desperate to make up to her for forgetting about her last one). I realise my break time is running out, so I put on some music, Coez, my favourite singer, is singing. A thought creeps in, though. I might as well have put my phone away: I have no idea what happened in today's episode, I can't even remember who I talked with and Coez, as much as I love him, only made me doze off. I can barely keep my eyes open now and it's about time I started doing my homework. The clock has been ticking too fast and I've been studying for six hours straight, gosh if I'm knackered! And just when I think I'll be able to relax there is my phone once again giving me the illusion that's where I can find all my answers. I overhear my family talking in the other room, but I walk past them. They are gathered around the telly; they are excited about this new programme they have been harping on and they'd like me to watch with them. They are together. They are laughing, they are sharing. They're calling out my name, but I can't hear them, I've got my earphones on. I promise, tomorrow I'll forget about my phone. Let me just write one more text message...

Shakespeare's deep understanding of the human condition has made his characters extremely contemporary and modern making his works immortal and well engraved in our minds. Not only was he able to bring to life men and women overwhelmed with contrasting feelings and emotions, but he also cleverly portrayed the society of his time, a society dominated by preconceptions and prejudices and yet, being aware that a successful play would have to meet its readers' expectations, Shakespeare indulged such stereotypes. Some of the English writer's characters are guilty of hoping for a different future, of trying to tempt their fate, because in the eyes of their society they are doomed. As much as Othello may be in love with Desdemona he is a Moor, and “it was well known” that Moors are passionate, violent and barely capable of any self-control. Othello is then devoured by his jealousy and destroys everything and everyone around him. Iago's means, unfair as they may be, are a necessary evil to get things back to normal. Shylock meets the stereotype of the greedy pitiless Jewish merchant who takes advantage of other people to pursue his own interests. Although his life is spared Shakespeare does not offer him any real possibility of redemption. However, the author's sensitivity which emerges from the accurate description of the traits of his characters' personalities leaves many doubts as to whether Shakespeare does agree with the prejudices within his works.

(This is a fictional story, I have never been to any of his concerts, but I had to make up a story to describe a disappointing show as asked in the instructions. Sorry Eros!) Eros Ramazzotti like you have never seen him before It's hard to put down in words how excited and thrilled I was when my friend Alex asked me: “I've got two tickets for Eros Ramazzotti's concert, do you fancy coming?”. He was one of those singers who had left a mark on me as a child which resulted in me knowing every single word of his songs. Besides, he was the main reason why I had become interested in learning how to play the guitar, hobby which I took up shortly after. The day of the concert came and I was on cloud nine. I had been revising the lyrics of his hits, been listening to his latest songs and by fumbling in my wardrobe, although it did take quite long, I had even managed to find a t-shirt with Ramazzotti's name on it. The arena where the concert was going to take place was packed with people from all over Italy, and maybe further, everyone was looking forward to the show and clearly had high expectations. Suddenly the lights went out and someone appeared on the scene. He was barely able to stand up-right and had a strange look on his face. As unrecognisable as he might be, that was Eros, but it wasn't just his look which didn't live up to everybody's expectations. As soon as he started singing things went downhill. Even though I'm not an expert I could easily tell that he was singing off-key and that even his band was struggling to follow his pace. To everyone's disappointment it was a terrible performance. What was supposed to be a dream coming true turned out to be a sad nightmare.

In response to an article on young generations To whom it may concern Dear editor, I have just come across your newspaper article about the young people of today and so I am writing this letter to you not to criticise or fly at the contents of your work that many may well consider far too harsh and judgemental, but because I felt the need to add something to it. Indeed, you have made an interesting point on a controversial topic here. Today's young generations do seem to have given up making something of their life and, therefore, they prefer to escape reality by taking refuge in several forms of entertainment some of them being sadly harmful and addictive. However, a question arises in my mind, who is at fault? Who should we put the blame on? Needless to say such youngsters have been brought up by parents who are probably so busy making plans for themselves that they have forgotten they have children. They have taken their role of parents too lightly giving their offspring the power to decide for themselves, entrusting them with responsibilities too big for them to take on and then justifying and standing up for them no matter what the circumstances thinking of it as a way to make up for the little time spent with their children. Moreover, absent parents simply cannot provide their sons and daughters with a valid and valuable role model generating confusion and disorientation in their fragile offspring. “Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.” Regards, Ruggero
