MICKYBO & ME - Week 2


WARNING – This film does feature scenes of a Ginger child, with freckles, who is ultimately the victim of abuse. Some of the images can be particularly distressing if you or anyone around you happens to be Ginger (but never fear, he does get one up on the bullies that interminably pursue him).

Thanks, Julio!, thanks, Laura!, for your posts on Mickybo & Me.
Julio's, two interesting articles on the movie itself (10 Irish Movies to watch on St. Patrick’s Day and Mickybo & Me - Culture Northern Ireland)...
and Laura's, a text on the backdrop of the story (The Northern Irish Conflict - A Chronology).

Great contributions!

This week's assignment is:
1)choose one of the excerpts selected by Julio (he has posted four of them in the "comments" slot) and comment on it;
2)select 3 new words in Laura's text that you find important to learn and write a synonym or definition.
Post your answers under "comments" or send us an email.
