Now I am famous

Stories

I was born on 26th July, 1999 in Šempeter. I lived in a small house with my parents. We were poor so we were often hungry. I slept on the floor and it was very cold. Although we were poor, I was always happy, but that was only before I became famous.

One day I heard about the show called Slovenia’s got talent and the next week I went there and I won.

I became famous and I was very happy, but sadly not for a long time. I found out that fame can not buy you happines, because now I have everything (a big house, three cars, I can eat everything I want…), but I am not satisfied. I miss the time when I lived on the farm with my family and I miss the time when I played with them and my animals. Now everybody knoes who I am and I am not free anymore, because the paparazzis follow me everywhere and I have no privacy.

Life of the celebrities is boring. I want to go back to the past.

Primož Trubar

Excursions

In Slovenia the 31st  October is Primož Trubar’s day. On 24 st October our class visited his birthplace – Rašica. We travelled by bus. It was a long journey but it was worth.

When we arrived, the guide was waiting for us. He showed us some books that Trubar wrote and told us about his life and work. His father was a miller, so they weren’t poor. Trubar went to school to different towns, a year in Reka and two years in Salzburg. We learned some interesting facts about him. He was the first to give our nation its name – Slovenians and a language. The guide told us about the important people in Trubar’s life. One of them was the bishop Peter Bonomo who alloowed Trubar to read the books of contempoarary writers and get informed and educated that way. Primož Trubar wrote the first printed books in Slovenia – Abecednik and Katekizem. First he used gotica but hten he prefered latinica.

I think Primož Trubar was a very important man and a great writer.

Whisper

Books

Whisper is the book of a very famous German children’s and youth writer Isabel Abedi. It is a crime and love story. It was published in 2007. The book talks about a weird family which came on summer holidays to the country.

Kat is a very famous film actress, Noa’s mother and Gilbert’s friend. The family lives in Berlin. Gilbert loves reading fat books which talk about ghosts, the universe, clairvoyance, etc. He also has a statue of the Buddha. Kat is always in the centre of attention. Noa’s real name is Nora (after the famous actress Nora Gregory), but she didn’t like it so she took the R away.

Kat’s agent hires a five hundred years old house in the country on her wish. Kat, Noa and Gilbert are supposed to spend summer holidays there. The owner of the house is a farmer named Hallscheit.

When they enter the house, Noa smells a perfume. It smells very strongly, as if someone has put it on recently, even though the house has been closed for thirty years. The smell disappears in a short time. They eat dinner in an inn called Kropp, a little away from the house. Marie, Esther (Marie’s mother in law) and Gustav (Esther’s son) work there and are the owners. They live above the pub. Marie has two sons: David, who is the similar age as Noa and Kalle. David helps Kat, Noa and Gilbert to renew the house. Noa and David soon fall in love. One evening they play calling ghosts.  There appears the ghost of a girl Eliza, who was murdered in the attic of that house thirty years ago.

The new owners find a lot of things which belonged to their predecessors. Noa and David find out that girl Eliza really existed. They communicate with Eliza by a piece of paper on which numbers and letters are written. Eliza is gives them various hints and helps Noa and David to expose a cold-blooded killer. Eliza also wants them to find her diary. Noa and David find it and read it. They realize that Eliza had a very sad life. One August night David, Noa and the two brothers from the village come to the attic of the house where Noa, Kat and Gilbert live during the summer. They don’t expect anybody there, but a murderer comes. He nearly kills Noa too, but luckily David saves her. The perfume, which belonged to Eliza, disappears from the house before they call the police. Eliza has gone from this world. A few days after this event, summer holidays finish and Noa, Kat and Gilbert go back to Berlin.

I read this book many times and it seemed very interesting every time I read it. I recommend it to anyone who loves crime and love stories. You shouldn’t be scared of thick books, too.
