fantasy in literature second part, correct me please! :)

Finally, using fantasy can be a way to help move the story forwards, as in the “Tempest” by William Shakespeare.

It’s the story of Prospero, actually the Duke of Milan, who is sent by his evil brother Antonio onto a desert island in order to take the throne of Milan, helped by Alonso, king of Naples. Thanks to his magic powers, which he got from the spirit Ariel, Prospero managed to make the ship on which Alonso and Antonio travel, turn back from Tunis, but it is shipwrecked.  Everybody ends up on the desert island.

It is as if the story was meant to turn into a battlefield (due to the fact that each character has different motivations), creating many conflicts, though ending in reconciliation. It is noticeable that Ariel's presence is the catalyst leading to many (most) of the adventures, with the magic powers of Prospero definitely the trigger for all of the events. Causing the character to interact in many different ways and leading to a final reconciliation. Alonzo said “There are not natural events = they strengthen from strange to stranger.”

In conclusion, the use of fantasy in literature allows writers to define art in their own way, representing are as a kind of magical power in it's own right.  Allowing them to overcome their inhibitions. And finally to help the story to evolve. Here I can even say that fantasy in also a way to express different forms of the relationship between the artist and his audience, and also between characters.

A Portrait By Window Light

A few days ago, I saw a nice female portrait which was taken by a professional photographer.
I liked the view of an illuminated face against a dark background, so I took a similar portrait.
My daughter sat down opposite a window. I drew the curtains so that the narrow beam of light illuminated her profile meaning that the main source of light created the transition from light to shadow. I used a black reflector as the dark background. I set the exposure compensation of -1 EV to make the picture darker.

Notes

"so I took a similar portrait" this is correct, but you might want expand this a bit e.g.  "so I was inspired to take a similar portrait."  Artists always like to claim inspiration.

"Thus" is correct, but the word is archaic. If you use it you'll sound pretentious.

I love the photo.  Really striking effect.

Fried Rice

Woah, I don't know why, but fried rice is the one of the most delicious foods I have ever eaten. Fried rice, Mie Ayam, Soto, Sate. Well, I can't stop eating!! I'm so glad I can cook fried rice :)

Sounds like you are a good cook.  

The International horticultural Exposition 国际园艺博览会

The International Horticultural Exposition will be held in our city in two years time. As a great many people will be visiting the city, the government has built a new railway station, it looks a little bit like The Sydney Opera House. New hostels and restaurants are also under construction. They will be building new roads to alleviate traffic jams. Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year and by the end of next year they will have finished the work on the new hostels and restaurants. Everybody will be anxiously watching the changes to the city. We are looking forward to the International Horticultural Exposition because it is the first time that the International horticultural Exposition will be held in our hometown.
























2年以后，世界园艺博览会将在我们的城市举行。由于有大批的人到我们城市来，所以政府建了一个新的火车站，看上去有点像悉尼的歌剧院。一些新的旅店、餐厅也正在建设中。他们还将修建一些新的道路来缓解交通。工人们将在今年年底前把新路铺好，到明年年底，新的旅店、饭店业将完工。大家都将密切关注城市的变化。我们盼望着园艺会的到来，因为这是世界园艺博览会第一次在我们的家乡举办。

Article in the text

Hello everyone!
Could you check, if I write correct articles in this text?

Although the British are more health-conscious than they used to be, many of them still like to eat a bacon sandwich for breakfast once or twice a week. But most are unaware that there is an unusual custom surrounding bacon. THE custom is known to date back hundreds of years to the 13th century or even earlier. According to tradition, A married couple could win a large piece of bacon if they could prove to a judge that they had not regretted their marriage or had an argument for at least a year and a day. In one town, Dunmow, a couple had to kneel on sharp stones and say the special poem which ended with the lines: 'For this is our custom at Dunmow well known, Though the pleasure be ours, the bacon's your own.' After the poem, there was a noisy parade around town. Dunmow claims to be the only town in the Britain which still continues the tradition to this day.

Thank you so much!
Best wishes,
Mikołaj
