TURKISH POEM 

YASAMAK SAKAYA GELMEZ,
BÜYÜK BİR CİDDİYETLE YASAYACAKSIN
BİR SİNCAP GİBİ MESELA,
YANI, YASAMIN DIŞINDA VE ÖTESİNDE HİÇBİR ŞEY BEKLEMEDEN
YANI, BÜTÜN İŞİN GÜCÜN YASAMAK OLACAK.

YAŞAMAYI CİDDİYE ALACAKSIN,
YANI, O DERECEDE, ÖYLESİNE Kİ,
MESELA, KOLLARIN BAĞLI ARKADAN, SIRTIN DUVARDA,
YAHUT, KOCAMAN GÖZLÜKLERİN,
BEYAZ GÖMLEĞİNLE BİR LABORATUARDA
İNSANLAR İÇİN ÖLEBİLECEKSİN,
HEM DE YÜZÜNÜ BİLE GÖRMEDİĞİN İNSANLAR İÇİN,
HEM DE HİÇ KİMSE SENİ BUNA ZORLAMAMIŞKEN,
HEM DE EN GÜZEL,
EN GERÇEK ŞEYİN YASAMAK OLDUĞUNU BİLDİĞİN HALDE.

YANI, ÖYLESİNE CİDDİYE ALACAKSIN Kİ YASAMAYI,
YETMİŞİNDE BİLE, MESELA, ZEYTİN DİKECEKSİN,
HEM DE ÖYLE ÇOCUKLARA FALAN KALIR DİYE DEĞİL,
ÖLMEKTEN KORKTUĞUN HALDE ÖLÜME İNANMADIĞIN İÇİN,
YASAMAK, YANİ AĞIR BASTIĞINDAN.

ENGLISH VERSION

Living is no laughing matter:
You must live with great seriousness
Like a squirrel, for example—
I mean without looking for something beyond and above living,
I mean living must be your whole occupation.
Living is no laughing matter:
You must take it seriously,
So much so and to such a degree
that, for example, your hands tied behind your back,
Your back to the wall,
Or else in a laboratory
In your white coat and safety glasses,
You can die for people—
Even for people whose faces you’ve never seen,
Even though you know living
Is the most real, the most beautiful thing.
I mean, you must take living so seriously
that even at seventy, for example, you’ll plant olive trees—
and not for your children, either,
but because although you fear death you don’t believe it,
because living, I mean, weighs heavier.

 MY POEM 
Take my hand
Lets get away from here
Let us escape the death
That is lonely
Let us wonder
Into the realms of human city
The spectacles of touriss
Don’t stop to be happy
But there is a fact
To reach the light, we must travel through the dark
We walk through the perils of life
Discover cultures
At least
Feel like an olive tree

In this big and msterious life

REFLECTION OF THE VIDEO The story includes graphic content about child rape and the exploitation of children as soldiers. I have chosen this video because it touched me in terms of its content and way of telling. In a war environment, because of conflict, children can lose their confidence, their trust in others and in future. They often become anxious, depressed and withdrawn, aggressive or rebellious. However, in this video, it is really impressive that the child has not lost his joy of life despite all horrible happenings. About the way of telling, child's drawings are used throughout the video. In my point of view, they made the video highly emotional. The other impressive thing is that the child tells the story himself. The sound effects that are used in the story support also storyline.  Here is the link to the video; https://www.storycenter.org/stories/

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEM IN OUR COUNTRY? To begin with, I think the class that we talked about the main problems of Portugal and our countries was really useful. We had an opportunity both to think about problems of our own countries and to get information about problems of Europian Countries and Brazil. When we approach Turkey, it can be said that it has lots of problems in term of many subjects. In my opinion, one of the biggest problems is that Turkey does not realize its riches and potential. Although Turkey is a country that has a perfect location, tourism possibilities, and production potential, unfortunately, we became a foreign dependent country in terms of many subjects. One of the other important issues in Turkey is terrorist attacks. The problem of terrorism in our country, which, lasted more than 30 years, hurt people very much. Turkey's main population centers of Ankara and İstanbul have endured a wave of deadly bomb and gun attacks several ...
