Não são pecados de omissão, mas sinais de preocupação. Seus olhos se fixam no rosto da jovem. Se ela mover a cabeça, o olhar dele viajará ao lado dela para a parede. Ela se inclina para frente. Como você foi queimado? É fim de tarde. Suas mãos brincam com um pedaço de lençol, acariciando-o com as costas dos dedos. Eu caí queimando no deserto. Eles encontraram meu corpo e me fizeram um barco de gravetos e me arrastaram pelo deserto. Estávamos no Mar de Areia, de vez em quando cruzando leitos de rios secos. Nômades, você vê. Beduíno. Eu voei para baixo e a própria areia pegou fogo. Eles me viram ficar nu fora dela. O capacete de couro em minha cabeça em chamas. Eles me amarraram em um berço, um barco de carcaça, e os pés batiam enquanto corriam comigo. Eu havia quebrado a escassez do deserto. O beduíno sabia sobre fogo. Eles sabiam sobre aviões que desde 1939 estavam caindo do céu. Algumas de suas ferramentas e utensílios foram feitos de metal de aviões e tanques acidentados. Foi a época da guerra no céu. Eles podiam reconhecer o zumbido de um avião ferido, eles sabiam como abrir caminho em meio a esses naufrágios. Um pequeno parafuso de uma cabine tornou-se uma joia. Fui talvez o primeiro a sair vivo de uma máquina em chamas. Um homem cuja cabeça estava pegando fogo. Eles não sabiam meu nome. Eu não conhecia sua tribo. -Quem é Você? -Eu não sei. Você fica me perguntando. -Você disse que era inglês.

These are not sins of omission but signs of preoccupation. His eyes lock onto the young woman’s face. If she moves her head, his stare will travel alongside her into the wall. She leans forward. How were you burned? It is late afternoon. His hands play with a piece of sheet, the back of his fingers caressing it. I fell burning into the desert. They found my body and made me a boat of sticks and dragged me across the desert. We were in the Sand Sea, now and then crossing dry riverbeds. Nomads, you see. Bedouin. I flew down and the sand itself caught fire. They saw me stand up naked out of it. The leather helmet on my head in flames. They strapped me onto a cradle, a carcass boat, and feet thudded along as they ran with me. I had broken the spareness of the desert. The Bedouin knew about fire. They knew about planes that since 1939 had been falling out of the sky. Some of their tools and utensils were made from the metal of crashed planes and tanks. It was the time of the war in heaven. They could recognize the drone of a wounded plane, they knew how to pick their way through such shipwrecks. A small bolt from a cockpit became jewellery. I was perhaps the first one to stand up alive out of a burning machine. A man whose head was on fire. They didn’t know my name. I didn’t know their tribe. -Who are you? -I don’t know. You keep asking me. -You said you were English.” ]]> 2021-12-01 23:01:27 UTC https://padlet.com/diasgomes16/o91zg6s7xq32iu1o/wish/1923919295 All his works diasgomes16 https://padlet.com/diasgomes16/o91zg6s7xq32iu1o/wish/1923920172 He is better known as a novelist but gained a lot of attention as a poet accumulating several works at the age of 78 and being a renomed and respected author. ● Works: ● The Dainty Monsters - 1967 ● Leonard Cohen - 1969 (rehearsal) ● The Man with Seven Toes - 1969 ● The Collected Works of Billy the Kid - 1970 ● The Broken Ark: A Book of Beasts - 1971 (ed.) ● Rat Jelly – 1973 ● Coming Through Slaughter - 1976 ● Personal Fictions: Stories by Munro, Wiebe, Thomas, and Blaise - 1977 (ed.) ● Elimination Dance - 1978 ● There's a Trick with a Knife I'm Learning to Do - 1979 ● The Long Poem Anthology - 1979 (ed.) ● Tin Roof - 1982 ● Claude Glass - 1982 ● Running in the Family - 1982 ● Secular Love - 1984 ● In the Skin of a Lion - 1987 ● From Ink Lake: Canadian Stories - 1990 (editor) ● The Brick Reader - 1991 (with Linda Spalding) ● The Cinnamon Peeler - 1991 ● Brasil: O paciente inglês /Portugal: O doente inglês - the original The English Patient - 1992 ● Handwriting - 1998 ● Lost Classics - 2000 (with Michael Redhill, Esta Spalding and Linda Spalding) ● Anil's Ghost - 2000. ● The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film - 2002 ● The Story - 2005 ● Divisadero- 2007. ]]> 2021-12-01 23:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/diasgomes16/o91zg6s7xq32iu1o/wish/1923920172 LINHA DO TEMPO diasgomes16 https://padlet.com/diasgomes16/o91zg6s7xq32iu1o/wish/1923925227 Link: https://padlet.com/adrianasantos30/x946qiwxls9bgv8e]]> 2021-12-01 23:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/diasgomes16/o91zg6s7xq32iu1o/wish/1923925227 diasgomes16 https://padlet.com/diasgomes16/o91zg6s7xq32iu1o/wish/1924035245 Toronto is Canada's largest city, as well as being the capital of the province of Ontario. It is the most populous city in Canada and the fourth most populous city in North America after Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles. Toronto is an international centre of business, finance, arts, and culture, and is recognized as one of the most multicultural cities in the world. It’s located on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, which forms part of the border between Canada and the United States.
Toronto was a city of churches, the morality laws in the city were very strict until European immigration arrived and gained a nickname “Toronto the Good, the town that fun forgot, until the Italians arrived.” Now it’s a lively, thriving and cosmopolitan metropolitan area, with a lot of immigrants - more than half of the Toronto metropolitan area was made up of minorities - and while the official language is English, over 160 languages are spoken in the city.

The company has the art of “collective creation,” a technique in which plays are made collectively by the actors themselves. The company remains one of only a handful of non-for-profit theatres in Toronto that own the spaces in which they perform.
They are located on Ryerson Avenue in the Alexandra Park neighbourhood of Toronto, The building was originally a bakery built in 1902, but passed by large renovations since then. It’s an interesting place to enjoy if you are interested in that type of thing. It’s important to our author because in 2011, Divisadero was adapted to stage by director Daniel Brooks and premiered at Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto.

But, don’t worry. There are nice and interesting places to enjoy besides the university, one of them is the Strachan Hall da Trinity College (6 Hoskin Avenue, Toronto), a dining hall that you can go to even if you aren't a student and the best is… It’s like you are in Hogwarts, if you are a fan.
