... Meaning it'll be hell. Usually there's always student giving up on studies after that exam.
Haha... :cryingspain:
My Italian test was awful, I didn't have the time to reply to everything...
The school system in Poland is just... so different °° You can do it, I'm sure of it ! o/
( Well, about the FAIL part, most people think everyone going to the FIAL faculty will end up as a failure... or a french/language/history teacher... )
Yeah, I am, I just have to take the time to gather my ideas up and begin writing back a reply °3° N. Italy's greedy because :
Once upon a time - 1202 ap. J-C., fourth crusade -, Venezia and Constantinople were both pretty wealthy cities. Actually, they were the most wealthy, and both were dominating the Mediterranean sea in a merchant-way.
The crusade were made to reconquer the holy lands captured by the Muslims. However, Venezia and its leader, Enrico Dandolo, called upon a fourth crusade in order to make Constantinople christian again, even though they had the same origins as their religion. ( Since the Roman Empire was Christian when it split in two and died. ) Only, their religion didn't evolve the same way.
Venezia payed both the mercenaries and the boats for the crusade and thus, they went to Constantinople, to make them 'good christians'. The truth is that, it wasn't only for religion. Venezia had in mind to take down its rival merchant-city. And it was taken down. All the goods, such as the art coming back from the Roman Empire was seized by all of N. Italy. The artists were amazed at such art and began copying it, adding some changes for it to seem more modern.
... Renaissance happened after that. ( And now, Renaissance's history doesn't seem as bright as it was
)*Reads lasts paragraph* Nope ! I don't have to write books, I have to read them
I had to read L'Enéide (Virgile)( which story follows Énée/Aeneas, a trojan, after Trojan was taken down by the Greeks, as he goes to the latin lands, in Italy, to build Rome and reign over it. ), Tristan et Iseut, scandinavian saga (??? many authors through time)(, a love story between Tristan and Iseut with lots and lots of chivalry), Hamlet (Shakespeare), and two other books. One is from Dostoïevski (the one I'm stuck on) and the other from Aimé Césaire. Most of them were fun to read, except for L'Énéide (which had a awkward tone, as it was translated from Latin, so the sentence's construction were really weird [ Like one of them is dying and has the time to speak for a paragraph of 29 lines. ( Whut? ) ] )
One of my synthesis's subject in really interesting; it's the French revolutionary war of 1848 in Paris
I have to compare 4 documents between each others one from Flaubert, another for Ménard, etc... To try to pin-point what happened for real. ( Flaubert had a point of view disregarding the people, writing they looked like gorillas and were disrespectful, and Ménard was absolutely into it, saying they were awfully respectful and only did what they wanted to do; burn the throne )I'll reply to the RP after that :p
[Val says Hi, btw ]
