Bookworms. I don't even like the word. Still, it applies to me - I have been one as far back as I can remember and I cannot imagine life otherwise. The truth is that very few things match the pleasure of a good book and the joys, the knowledge it gives you. Don't tell me you don't have time to read. Don't tell me book lovers hide in books and forget to live; comfortable with second-hand experiences. Book lovers live a thousand lives, they write a thousand books, they travel in time and space. Book lovers are scary. They know so much, they have seen the depths of human souls, they have seen the light and touched the darkness, they have an understanding of things other people will never have.

"A good book should leave you slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it."
William Styron

The open window

Although the students' work was based on the short story The open Window by Saki, the students never actually read the story. They were given a wordclod made from the original text and they were told to create their own story using as many of the words from the wordcloud as possible.

 Embora o trabalho dos alunos tenha sido baseado no conto The open window de Saki, os alunos não chegaram a ler o texto original. Foi-lhes dada uma nuvem de palavras feita com base nesse conto e, a partir dessas palavras, os alunos tinham de contar uma história.

 Here is the wordcloud. / Aqui está a nuvem de palavras.
And here's their text. / Aqui está o texto elaborado pelos alunos.
