Lauren, a lawyer, moves to a small isolated town for work and rents a house near an old shack. Every day on her walk home, she meets her neighbor, a young woman living in the shack. Lauren's coworker Paul offers to drive her home one day since the owner of the shack is supposedly dead, but Lauren insists her neighbor accompanies her. They discover the shack is empty and the neighbor is actually the spirit of the previous owner, who was murdered by her ex-husband, protecting Lauren from the escaped murderer on her walks.

Once upon time there a lived a family in the Slopes Hilka. The nam.docxcherishwinsland
Once upon time there a lived a family in the Slopes Hilka. The name of the family was Feroze. Feroze family had a daughter whose name was Sasha. Sasha was beautiful and full of life. She was the light of the family. She was eloquent, and had glimmer in her eyes that could send men asking many questions. She was the love of that village. In fact many men admired her even the older men. Sasha used to go to her daily practice of choir lessons she enrolled in six years ago. She used to sing. Her voice was sweet as that of a bird. One day on her way to her station, I met her and as usual became curios and also we interacted. She was the prettiest girl had ever seen. Sasha became curious about and that she had not seen for a while. We talked for a while and made a promise to meet again the next day on the same spot.
The next day came, I was already at the usual place waiting for her. I was lost in love. She had taken all my senses and captured my attention. After a short period she approached and, there she was angel of all angels. This was the day to propose to her because I had no minute to waste. We greeted each other, talked a little and there I gathered all my courage and proposed to her. I had to go an extra mile and seduce her. The girl was quiet for a moment, and she moved few stepped ahead of me. My heart sunk in disbelief. As I was contemplating how to rise up and carry my heavy heart, she ran back to my and embraced me. There I pulled her and hugged her closely. She whispered, “I love you too”. I was the happiest person. I felt like the only man alive at that moment.
The word about the affair spread like wildfire in the bush. Soon I was summoned by my parents about the illicit affair. My mother was a staunch Christian and she was furious. This is because had eloped with my little “flower’’ was Muslim. I personally created excuses that she was just a friend but the village snitch had captured all the information about our secret meetings.
I was warned and the parents of Sasha also intervened. They also were against the affair. I had loved her and I knew she felt the same. The only thing that kept the spirit was that I tried to be adamant but I ended up losing.
Two weeks later I was taken to high school in another state. This was the end. Though I could not shed more tears, she was the one who wept but no one was on her rescues. The once love, lively story that Sasha and I dwindled and finally ended.
The narrative.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

November/ 2016
The neighbour of the shack
This is a story of a beautiful woman called Lauren. She had been working as a
lawyer and had to move to a small city because of her job. She rented a house in an isolate
place where there were only her house and an old shack. Every day she walked from home
until downtown to work and she used to come back too late when the way was too dark.
At the beginning of the way, she always met her neighbour, a young woman that lived in
the shack and was having fresh air and walking. The two woman was becoming good
friends, but Lauren was a little upset because her neighbour had never accepted having
dinner with her.
One day, Paul, his colleague from work, has offered to drive her home. She said
that it was not necessarily, because her neighbour always went home with her. Paul got
surprised, because the owner of the shack had already died. Lauren said that the family
of the death owner had probably sold or rented the house and that he didn’t know the new
resident because she was such a quiet and reserved woman.
Lauren decided to accept the company of his colleague, because she wanted to
introduce her neighbour to him. Unfortunately, that day the young woman wasn’t in the
way. Lauren and Paul went to the shack to see if her neighbour was ok. They rang the
bell many times, without any answer. As they became worried, they decided to look into
the house in an open window and IT WAS EMPTY! They broke into the house and only
found a portrait. When Paul looked to the photo, he immediately said, ‘It’s the previous
owner that is died’, Lauren got shocked and stuttered, ‘This is my neighbour who have
been walking with me every day’.
They came back home astonished and then Paul told her about the woman’s death.
‘She had broken up with her husband and he hadn’t wanted to accept the situation. One
day, he waited for her in the middle of the way, to try to have a conversation, but she
didn’t want to. He became mad and killed her. This happened six months ago and, after
it, he went to a psychiatric hospital. Today I heard that a day before you arrive here, he
disappeared of the hospital. Because of it, I offered to drive you home, I don’t know what
he can do, he is dangerous. I didn’t tell it to you, because I didn’t want you to get scared.’
2. They decided that it would be better if she didn’t stay there alone. When they came
back to downtown, they knew that the man had been found that day in the evening, in the
way of Lauren’s home. So, they understood everything! The spirit of the neighbour had
been walking with Lauren every day to protect her of the murder. When he had been
found, she disappeared and could rest…
3. Description:
Your task is to write a popular myth for the university magazine. Think of all the
ideas mentioned in this unit. When you finish. Self-assess it but answering the questions
below.
Decide how well the story satisfies the criteria by answering the questions in each
category. Give examples from your story to support your opinions.
Content
Have the instructions in the question been followed?
Yes. I wrote an urban myth and to do it I thought about the elements that are
common in this gender, like ghost, murders, beautiful women, isolate places. I had written
it based in the urban myths that were mentioned in the unit, but also based other ones I
know. The difference between my myth and the ones we saw in the unit is that in mine I
give names for the characters. I thought was better to do it, because it would make the
story clearer. In my myth there are two women and two men and I didn’t want the readers
to get confused about it, so the names were essential.
Range
Have a variety of past tenses been used? Is there a wide range of vocabulary?
Yes. I used past perfect continuous (‘She had been working as a lawyer’), simple
past (She rented a house in an isolate place), past continuous (‘The two woman was
becoming good friends’), present perfect (‘Paul, his colleague from work, has offered to
drive her home’), past perfect (‘She had broken up with her husband’) and present
perfect continuous (‘This is my neighbour who have been walking with me every day’).
Yes, I tried to use a variety of vocabulary but without making the text too complex,
because myths, in general, have a language that is accessible to any person.
Organization
Are the ideas and events organised logically? Are linking devices used well?
Yes. The verbal tenses helped me a lot to organize the text, because there were
events that happened in a time before the one of the myth and some of them were told
only at end. I had to be really attentive to use the correct past tense, so the readers could
understand that something happen in a more distant past and had consequences in the
past, that is the time when the myth happened.
Examples: “He hadn’t wanted to accept the situation. One day, he waited for her in the
middle of the way.”
“When he had been found, she disappeared and could rest”
All the myth was written in a chronological way, and I put connectors and expressions
of time to establish the sequence.
Examples: “One day, Paul, his colleague from work, has offered to drive her home.”
4. “When they came back to downtown, they knew that the man had been found that day in
the evening, (…)”
“This happened six months ago and, after it, he went to a psychiatric hospital.”
Style and format
Is the story written using suitably neutral language? (neither too formal nor too
informal)
Yes, I didn’t use any word or expression from informal language, but it doesn’t mean
that I wrote in a very formal way. My myth was a written in a way that almost any person
who understand English could read it.
Target reader
Would the reader be sufficiently interested to want to read to the end? Would it
have a chance of winning the competition?
As I said in the first topic, my myth has important elements of the gender, like the
ghost, the beautiful women, the murder, the isolate place. As a consequence of being
chosen these characters and this background, we have a mystery. I think it’s important to
maintain the mystery until the end, because it makes the readers interested in the story,
they will want to know what will happen, so they will not stop. I did it in my myth, I
revealed that the woman was a ghost after the middle of the story, but the mystery was
totally solved only in the last paragraph. I really like my myth, it has a good structure,
interesting characters and a really good plot, so I think it would have a chance of winning
the competition.
