The nameless boy
by Lucía Garay
“God Save The Queen” deals with several issues such as sense of belonging, relationships, sexual awakening, bisexuality, taking decision, political injustice and the search of self. These major features the short story encloses can be appealing for Young Adults, and thus the aim of this paper is to answer why this is so considering Small’s characteristics of Young Adults Literature.
When dealing with Young Adults Literature (from now on YAL) it is very important to reflect upon the following: teenagers don’t want to be forced to read and teenagers’ desire is to read writings that include topics or themes related to their necessities or worries. It is also of common knowledge that teenagers like to read taboo themes, i.e. things that adults sometimes do not want to waste time explaining, mainly because they do not have any idea at all or because they do not want to explain.
“God Save The Queen” may be appealing to adolescents because its main character it is a teenager and this coincide with one of Small’s characteristics of YAL. In this short story, the most important character is a teenager, a nameless boy who is looking for something in “the haunted slumber remains of London”. The boy is frightened and is surrounded by the dead who are spread all over the kingdom.
Regarding the plot, the events in it are related to teenagers and this again coincides with Small’s characteristics of YAL. Sexual awakening and the struggle someone is immerse when taking decisions are present in the text by Skipp and Levinthal. These topics are very important for Young Adults because they are curious about their sexuality. In addition, teenagers are beginning to take decisions that may affect their lives or their understanding of the world. This feature may adolescents be identified with the character who has to takes decisions. An exemplification is the character deciding if go on reading Bishop’s journal or not “And oh, what secrets it might reveal! The boy flipped to the first page and proceeded to read.”.
One of Small’s characteristic argues that in YAL an adolescent should be the one in charge of taking the major decisions. However “God Save The Queen” does not follow this rule because Bishop John Hallam, the old man who becomes the protector of the nameless boy, takes one of the major decisions presented in this story. The Bishop decides to let the zombies enter to the castle fortress. Nevertheless, this may not affect the quality of YAL because teenagers would probably see Bishop Hallam as a hero in charge of defeating the government.
The themes and archetypes in YAL, presented in the text by Herz & Gallo, the story has are also important. In “God Save The Queen” the boy has to complete a journey to succeed in his quest; this is an example of a situational archetype. The boy is also looking his self. He wanders between two sides, humans and zombies. It is like he does not know who he is or where he belongs. “Fucking bitch”, the boy himself mutters letting the bishop’s words play vividly in his mind.” here the boy seems to be on Bishop’s side. But then he seems to be on the zombies’ side as we read this “the boy bit again, coming up with a mouthful of soft shoulder flesh.” All the things mentioned before are appealing for adolescents who are also in the search of self or wondering where they belong.
A concern about political injustice represented by the humans’ monarchy opposed to the zombies’ anarchy that the boy seems to command is presented here in the story and it’s another characteristic of Young Adults Literature to be considered. This feature may be connected to adolescent rebellion against figures of authority and thus
This short story presents an adolescent as a main character who is lost and looking for a place to fit in. He is searching himself, his identity. This boy decision provokes an outcome that changes everything, although the major decision is not taken by him. However, this does not affect the final outcome of the story and the boy continues to be the most important character. The plot and the issues presented here are related to teenagers. Sex as well as sexuality, taboo themes, relationships, taking decisions that affect you and others are topics related to adolescents and are topics that “God Save The Queen” exposes. Summing up, “God Save The Queen” should be considered as Young Adults Literature because encloses features that coincide with the characteristics presented by Small’s definition for Young Adults Literature.
“Like an apparition so dense as to simulate mass, he watched them walk around, then pass right by.”The phrase presented above can, in a couple of words, give us a glimpse of what is next to come in the zombie story written by John Skipp and Marc Levinthal. “God Save The Queen” from the book “Zombies Encounters with the Hungry Dead (Part Two - Post Emancipation)”, is a story in which a boy is found in the remains of London. The nameless boy feels lost, empty, and hopeless and has no one by his side. One day he is “saved” - as we go on reading we know that the boy becomes a sex-toy- by Bishop John Hallam, an old man who turns out to be the protector of the nameless boy and whose secret agenda includes bringing to an end to the actual figure of government. The boy is taken to the castle where the Royal family, or at least the remains of the royal family, live. There he finds Hallam’s diary and reads it to realize that the Bishop is plotting something against the Royal family. As the story goes on, the boy meets Princess Sara who is about to get married, in order to continue the bloodline with Prince Randolph, and with whom he fall in love. At the end, the story gives a twist that nobody expects and that could blow the readers' minds.

Chicken (review)
Review by Garay, Lucía, Laprovitta, Anahí and López, Cintia
“Ever played chicken? Bram asks.” Kathy Stinson writes a piquant short story where an adolescent girl is the main character. This girl, of unknown name, is eager to prove her own limits and at the same time is discovering her sexuality. “Chicken” is a game that invites participants to test their boundaries, and at the same time is the word that the author chooses as the title for this short story taken from the book 101 Ways to Dance.
Stinson presents two characters, Bram who is described as a risk taker and a girl, who is portrayed as a role model to be. After finishing painting the church basement, the girl and Bram decided to play Chicken this brand new, exciting and dangerous game. Chicken’s aim is to see who would be the first one that chickens out; “Now, as slow or as fast as you want, move your finger down until one of us says stop. Whoever says it first is the chicken.” Now the girl has to take a decision, should her go on or should her stop? It is an engaging story until the end because you want to go on reading in order to know what she decides.
Summing up, this story fosters an interesting alternative to deal with a delicate issue as sexuality; it brings also into discussion other significant topics such as trespassing boundaries and taking decisions. We highly recommend this appealing story because it helps young adults to reflect upon aspects of sexuality that many adults would rather avoid and that we know teenagers are urged to explore.

The young voice (TV proposal)

Dear Sir,
We are writing to introduce you an amazing idea for a new television show. We are a group decided to change the concept people have about teenage reality programs. The title of the program will be “the young voice”. Every now and then, when it comes to musicals realities the judges have always been successful adults that in most of the cases do not understand teenagers at all. Our idea is to present a TV reality in which adolescents will be judged by famous teenager’s pairs. At first, this idea of broadcasting a show hosted and judged by teens my sound hilarious, because experts will argue that teenagers cannot decide or judge what is good or bad for them. However, if we want to gain viewers, we need to show young adults that we rely our trust on them.
The “young voice” will be a TV reality show searching for the most talented singer. The winner will be part of a world tour with young musical artists such as One direction, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, etc. The TV program will last no more than 20 episodes and every 2 episodes a participant will be eliminated. The judges, who will be famous teen singers, will decide who has done the best performance and who will leave the show.
We would welcome the chance to work as part of the channel network where we could make a significant contribution to the entertainment industry. We hope you consider our idea.
Yours sincerely,

A message from the future
by Garay, Lucía Mariel & Laprovitta, Anahí
"Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticide grain, for strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain. America, America, man sheds his waste on thee, and hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea." — George Carlin.
Every now and then there is a naive belief that our civilization as well as life in earth is endless. A common picture of our days is to see people throwing litter on the street, pouring water carelessly or overusing means of transport as well as energy consumption. Something to highlight is pollution, which affects over a billion people around the world and it is one of the most dangerous ecological problems society has. Despite this, some seem to neglect what is happening around them as if they were immersed in some kind of nebula. Some people focus on superfluous issues like having the latest clothing or eating the food which is best advertised, rather than focus on a liveable earth or on a healthy life. It’s accurate to say that society is beginning to regret and will regret its careless actions. At present, rising awareness about ecological issues is an important matter. So, how to do it? How can society begin to create awareness about ecology or healthy lifestyles? Those questions were, in a way, answered when days ago we watched a movie called “Wall-E” that depicts some flaws of our chaotic time on a futuristic perspective. What the film portrays is what would happen to earth as a consequence of the lack of ecological awareness and how these would affect not only the earth as a proper place to live, but also the way in which humans interact among them.
Wall-E is a robot and the only inhabitant of the earth since humans were sent in a ship to space waiting for the earth to be habitable again. Its main function on earth is to clean up garbage that humans have left behind. Natural resources are gone and no life remains but tonnes of trash. The film shows what society has left behind after centuries of mistreating the earth. Meanwhile, miles away from this rotten earth a spaceship full of people are portray in the movie, as individuals absorbed by advertisements and technological devises. Communication among people doesn’t exist and they do minimum physical movements because everything is controlled through machines. People in “Wall-E” are depicted as lazy, fat and consumerists, features that remind nowadays society characteristic.
Following this further, have you ever thought about what consequences might have your actions? It is well known that pollution is a dangerous threat but have you thought what severe consequences derive from it? When talking about pollution’s effects, we are not referring just to trash and waste in our soil, we are referring also to what it does to our social and personal lives. So, let’s start by creating a parallelism between Wall-E’s reality and our reality. The world in the movie is full of unusable elements as result of over consumerism, for example one the most common things Wall-E stocks up is a firelighter of a particular trademark. Allow me to ask you how many times have we bought unnecessary items and then just throw them away? Times are changing and the thought can be easily summarized with a phrase of the author Vicki Robin’s “if you live for having it all, what you have is never enough.”
Moreover, the fiction world depicts humans as not able to communicate among each other, what make us wonder have you realized that nowadays it is more common to be in touch with others through mobile phones, e-mails, texts and so on, rather than facing other individuals in real communication? In the film this flaw is presented in an exaggerated manner. People in the movie speak using screens even when they are physically in the same place or next to each other. As regards communication, there is an overuse of information known is real life as information pollution. A perfect example of this issue is people constantly exposed to advertisements which make them feel as if their lives depended only on those things that are advertised. Does that kind of pollution ring you a bell? There are many wrong habits our culture has adopted like naturals, but it is time to inquire ourselves is it something worth doing?
The cute robot Wall-E provide us with the idea that a change must be done. People have to alter their way of living, change habits, take care of others, be in contact with others, enjoy nature and take care of nature. The most important thing is that people should listen to the wakeup call the earth is making to us. We should listen so that people wake up from what could be, in a time from now, the end of our society as we know it. The message in Wall-E is very clear, the key point relies on paying attention to the small things like the robot does, if we don’t amend our flaws, even a robot would be more human than a human itself.

Amazing pets, do you know one?
by Garay, Lucía
Easy to read, sweet, accompanied by realistic pictures and introducing a world of complexity, the book “Amazing pets” presents a different way of seeing companion animals.
On the one hand, the author Lynda DeWitt shows kids how people have to take care of pets. On the other hand, DeWitt explains what different tame animals can do for people unable to perform daily life routines because they are deaf or blind or cannot move. Also, these animals are portrayed as helpers and friend of those who are sick or do not want to feel lonely.
Consisting on just seven pages where concise information is presented, “Amazing pets” shows readers brilliant aspects of having a pet as a companion or helper. However, how can we help pets? This unseen question is answered while the author describes the main necessities people need to pay attention when taking care of their pets. The book then goes on with the trigger question, “Did you know that sometimes pets help take care of people?” that is responded through realistic images of a dog, a cat and a monkey helping handicapped people in their daily life.
Another important aspect of this book to consider is the complexity of the world that is offered to kids when presenting people who have problems to develop their daily routines. The humanization of animals by acknowledging them the capacity to give us love and make us laugh is a way of preaching kids love for animals whether they are tame or not.
“Amazing pets” ends by saying “pets can make us laugh. They can keep us from feeling lonely” and that sentence, plus the sweet and sensible pictures, may help kids to make emotional connections with the world they live in.
To sum up, I personally recommend this book because it preaches on loving animals, it teaches kids how to take care of animals and because it offers a different reality to kids where people need others in their lives, in these case, pet animals.

Little Red ant and the rebel workers
Once upon a time, in a red ants’ nest, there was an ant called little Red ant. He was an enthusiastic and hard worker. What’s more, Little Red was very happy working for the government. He was in charge of workers ants who were given the task to construct tunnels so as to enlarge and restore old rooms for the upcoming babies.
One day while little Red and was supervising the ants’ work, he heard them conspiring against the Queen ant. As she was expecting new babies, workers assumed that was time for her to be banished from the nest. The workers felt little affection for the Queen because she was too greedy and made labourers work without any reward in exchange. “We shouldn’t be digging these tunnels.” said an ant. “What’s wrong with that? said little Red ant. “It makes room for new people.” The workers wanted to have a socialist government in which they could have the same rights such as those the Black ants gain.
Unfortunately labourers were just labourers. So they went on caving the tunnels and their dream of a socialist nest was that just a beautiful dream.
