When I was 6 I started school, so I went to a private primary school called Santa Giovanna d'Arco. I had a teacher who was a nun, so, because of her work, she was obsessed with literature, especially religious texts. In the 3rd class, indeed, we studied Dante's "Divina Commedia", only at the age of 8! Now, at the age of 16, I still remember half of "Paradiso" as well! Also, after two years, we studied another important novel, Manzoni's "Promessi Sposi". When I finished primary school, my family and I moved to Cervignano, a small town in Friuli, where I live at present. from the age of 11 to now, I have been studying lots of writers, novels and poems, like "Iliade", "Odissea", "Eneide", Leopardi, Petrarca, Calvino, Levi and many others. I've been studying very important texts since I was very young, that's why I love every form of literature. I like every form of it that I studied, because, as foreign languages do, it opens your mind and helps you to think in more ways than before. I know that this year I'll be studying English literature. To be honest, I'm quite scared of this experience, even though it's not the first time I study another language's literature. My mother is Russian, so she wanted me to study how to speak, write and read in the Russian language, and so I did. I expect this year to be quite difficult, 'cause I think that we'll find many new words, lots of new words! however, I know that during this year studying literature in a different language from Italian will be funny. English literature, I am (not at all) ready for you! |
