Tangled

     A drop of sunlight falls to the ground and grows into a magical flower with healing powers. A woman named Gothel uses it to keep herself young by singing to it. Centuries later, a queen becomes ill while pregnant, and the king orders a search for the legendary flower. The queen is healed after being fed the flower, and gives birth to a daughter, Rapunzel, whose golden hair has absorbed the abilities of the flower. Gothel tries to steal a lock of Rapunzel's hair, but, once cut, the hair turns brown and loses its power. So she kidnaps Rapunzel to raise as her own child in a high tower, telling her it is for her own safety.

     Every year, on Rapunzel's birthday, her parents and their subjects release thousands of sky lanterns, in the hope that the lost princess will return. For her 18th birthday, Rapunzel asks Gothel for permission to go outside the tower to see the source of the annual floating lights, but Gothel refuses. Meanwhile, Flynn Rider and the Stabbington brothers steal the tiara of the lost princess. During the ensuing chase, Maximus, horse of the Captain of the Guards, is separated from his rider but continues on his own. Flynn outwits his accomplices, takes the tiara, and stumbles upon Rapunzel's tower. He climbs up into the tower, but is knocked unconscious with a frying pan by Rapunzel who puts him in a wardrobe. When Gothel returns, Rapunzel tries to show her the captive Flynn to prove she is capable of handling the outside world, but Gothel cuts her off by saying she is never leaving the tower. So Rapunzel instead asks Gothel for a special paint, the ingredients for which require three days' of round-trip travel. Gothel leaves, and Rapunzel tells Flynn that she will give him the tiara back if he takes her to see the lights. Flynn agrees. While on route, he takes her to the Snuggly Duckling Inn, which is full of Gaul thugs, in hopes of scaring her into giving up her quest. The thugs, however, are charmed by Rapunzel, who encourages them to follow their dreams.

      Gothel returns early to the tower to find Rapunzel gone but finds the tiara. She then teams up with the Stabbington brothers so she can get Rapunzel back and the brothers can get revenge on Flynn. Meanwhile, the guards invade the tavern, and chase Rapunzel and Flynn to a dam which collapses. Flynn and Rapunzel become trapped in a flooding cave. Believing he is about to die, Flynn admits his true name: Eugene Fitzherbert. Rapunzel admits her hair glows when she sings, then realizes they can use her hairlight to find a way out. Rapunzel later uses her hair to heal Flynn's injured hand. Flynn tells Rapunzel that he was an orphan who dreamed of being like the storybook hero that inspired his alias, but Rapunzel tells him she likes Eugene better than Flynn. When Flynn goes to gather firewood, Gothel meets Rapunzel insisting that Flynn does not care for her and gives Rapunzel the tiara, suggesting that she test Flynn by giving it to him. The next morning, Maximus confronts Flynn but Rapunzel befriends the horse and convinces him to help them instead. Arriving at the kingdom, Flynn takes Rapunzel to see the lanterns. There, Rapunzel gives Flynn back the tiara. Flynn spies his old accomplices and leaves Rapunzel to give them the tiara, realizing that he cares more for Rapunzel. However, the brothers tie him up on a boat and sail him across the lake. They claim Flynn betrayed Rapunzel as they attempt to kidnap her for her hair's power, but Gothel rescues her and takes her back to the tower. Later, reflecting on what she had seen during her adventure in the kingdom, Rapunzel realizes she is the lost princess and attempts to flee the tower.

     Meanwhile, Flynn is arrested and sentenced to death, but he is rescued by Maximus and the Gaul thugs from the inn. Flynn races and climbs up back to the tower where Gothel stabs him from behind and prepares to take a struggling Rapunzel to a new hiding place. Rapunzel tells Gothel that she will stop resisting if she can heal Flynn. Gothel agrees, but before Rapunzel can heal him, Flynn cuts her hair which subsequently turns brown and loses its power causing Gothel to age rapidly, fall out of the tower, and turn into dust. With his last breath, Flynn declares his love for Rapunzel who cries, and the healing power of her tear revives him. Returning to the kingdom, Rapunzel is reunited with the King and Queen. Flynn then closes the film, telling the audience that he readopted his original name, and he and Rapunzel eventually get engaged and married.

Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos

      Puss is riding his horse through the desert when he is captured by Spanish knights. He is then taken to Princess Alexandra Belagomba, whose "Heart of Fire" Ruby, the crown jewel of her kingdom, is missing. The Princess wants to hire him based on his reputation, revealing that a thief called "The Whisperer" was the one who committed the crime and that the Princess' knights have captured three of his henchmen. The henchmen turn out to be three kittens called the Three Diablos. Though Puss cannot believe that such innocent creatures could be thieves, the princess and her guards are terrified of them. The kittens kindly agree to help Puss on the premise that they will be free if they return the ruby.

     When Puss takes the kittens to the desert, the kittens quickly turn on him  and bury him alive. Puss later escapes and recaptures the kittens using his wide eyes against theirs. Later, he talks about sending them back to jail for double-crossing him, but he learns that they have no family and are orphans like him. He then sympathetically tells them how he also knows it's tough not knowing who to trust and being led to the wrong path, making an example of how Humpty betrayed Puss, just as the Whisperer has done to them. Puss then decides to point the Diablos in the right direction and trains them how to fight and plays with them, becoming friends.

     The next day, the kittens, turning over a new leaf, show Puss to The Whisperer's secret hideout, and is immediately confronted by The Whisperer himself, who, by his name, has a low voice volume and uses his hat as a cone to speak clearly. It is also revealed that The Whisperer himself has used the heart as a decoration for his own belt. After learning that the Diablos brought Puss to him to recover the heart, the Whisperer is about to make them pay for their betrayal, but Puss fights him and lets the kittens escape. They, however, return to help Puss with what they learned from him and The Whisperer falls into a bottomless pit to his death. Puss then returns the heart to the Princess and is rewarded gold, and he gives the Princess the kittens as her new personal bodyguards. They then say their goodbyes; unfortunately, the guards slam the doors before he can finish his goodbye.

Dear Diary

Dear Ella,

Today I woke up at 9:15. As we were in Mangalia my family and I deceided to take the bus to Vama Veche and walk to 2 Mai on foot and then take the bus back to Mangalia. As soon as we ate breakfast we went to the bus station and got up in the bus. We arrived in Vama Veche and because the bus station was near the market , we went to buy some souvenirs. We bought some T-shirts. In the restaurants' yards we saw sad, hairy rockers drinking beer. We soon arrived on the beach and started walking till we arrived in 2 Mai. There,  because we had to wait for the bus, dad deceided to walk to Mangalia on foot. Although I was tired I agreed. We finally arrived in Mangalia at about 4 o'clock pm. We went to our hotel to have lunch. I have to say goodbye to you Ella because I'm very tired.

                                                                                                                    See you soon,

                                                                                                                             Andreea.

Animal Testing Essay

                                           Animal Testing

      Many experiments cause pain to animals involved or reduce their quality of live in other ways.
     Testing drugs and cosmetics on animals has some advantages. Firstly, people don't suffer. Secondly, people are protected. Moreover, the scientists discover threats for lethal diseases.
Testing on animals has some disadvantages. Firstly, it causes suffering to animals. Scientists predent that they don't know that the poor animals are hurt and that what they do is painful. Animals, like humans suffer when they are in these circumstances and aren't in their habits with their families. They suffer physically and psychically. Also, the benefits to human beings are not proven. Scientists only test medicines and cosmetics on animals, but animals aren't like humans, they are adapted  to live in  extreme conditions. Humans are only adapted to live in cities and towns. Plus every man and every woman are different, so the scintists should test on every person and not on animals. Furthemore, the ECO system may be destroyed. Taking animals from their habitats and not replacing helps the nature ruin.
     In my opinion, scientists shouldn't test drugs and cosmetics on animals. Personally I belive that the  experiments should be carried out using computer models and pogrammes.

Private schools essay

                                                                Private schools

    Nowadays a great number of teenagers go to private schools, but is it good for their future?

    Learning in private schools has some advantages. Firstly, there are less children in the classroom so the teacher has more time to listen them.  Secondly, private schools have more options about optional subjects. Also, private schools encourage kids' abilities at different subjects. Their results are recognized all over Europe.      
     Learning in private schools has some disadvantages too. To begin with, private schools don't have certified teachers. In addition, private schools are allowed to expel kids only because they want to. Furthermore, private schools' taxes cost a lot.

     In conclusion, studying in private schools has both advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I belive that both public and particular schools should be supported.
