Neranda Man
Most of us do not think of the totally empty spaces of Siberia as being particularly exciting, but in this film such strange happenings occur on and
around Lake Neranda in northern Siberia that we can sit through two and
three-quarter hours of views of it and not notice the time Sam Marlin’s ice- blue eyes and Michelle Lang’s increasingly weird behaviour, as they lead the
team of scientific experts towards the unknown, add to the drama
The scientists are trying to find the ‘doorway to another world’ which they believe was found in the 1930s by a man who escaped from one of the communist prison camps They set off from the warmth of St Petersburg by
plane and end up walking along the freezing valley of a river running out of
Lake Neranda They are searching for a mysterious waterfall that never freezes, behind which they will find the doorway There are eight of them and they walk in pairs, each pair with their sled of supplies pulled by dogs
We see the last sled attacked by wolves We see the two women dealing with
altitude sickness and one of the men with frostbite We see Sam hearing a voice beside him as he walks alone behind the sled He eventually replies to the voice’s questions and it turns out they are all apparently hearing the voices ‘The voices

are affectionate and even funny They make some great jokes about the members of the team Only Ms Lang is left out of this comradeship — until she sees spooky footprints in the snow appearing beside Sam as he trudges along
Are these the voices of people (Neranda men?) from another world, or are they the ‘phantom travellers’ who are said to accompany lonely explorers? You will learn a lot about Lake Neranda as well as the answer to that question if you go to see the film You might also find that you are a changed person, even if the change is only in your opinion about the excitement possible in the great ‘emptiness’ that is Siberia

book and then answer the questions
There are very few descriptions of the problems o¢ adolescents in English Literature Those years of change, of learning about yourself and of strange
longings and needs are not often focused on by great writers, perhaps because
they are so confusing
One writer who had the courage, however, was Rudyard Kipling He wrote thetwo ‘Jungle Books’ in the 19th century In them, his stories of the Indian boy, Mowgli, who was lost in the jungle as a baby, show us the boy, the adolescent and, finally, the man Most of us have only seen the Walt Disney version of the early adventures, when Mowgli was a happy-go-lucky child, taken care of by his wolf ‘parents’ and the snake, the bear and the panther With their help he survived until he could take care of himself He learned self-discipline and to obey the Law of the Jungle from them and this stood him in good stead as he got older
When he was about eleven and entering adolescence a conflict arose in the wolf pack Some wolves, friends of Sheer Khan, the cowardly tiger, wanted Mowgli to go back to men He agreed to leave and went to a village where he found his real mother He stayed there and looked after the village cows His strength was growing and he frightened the villagers with his jungle ways He and his wolf brothers made the cows run mad and kill Sheer Khan He skinned the tiger and laid the skin on Council Rock for every animal to see, and so fear
Mowgli The villagers were so afraid that they imprisoned his mother He set

After that Mowgli lived with his four wolf brothers and his three friends in the jungle He grew taller and stronger but sometimes had unexplainable urges Feelings of extreme anger might change to total elation and last for minutes or days He did incredible things like save ‘his’ wolves from a pack of wild dogs
and he gave himself the ttle of Master of the Jungle The year he was
seventeen he fell into a deep state of sadness He thought he was ill, but it was just that he had grown up Although he and his animal friends promised never to forget each other, he had become an adult Now he was even more
frightening to other men, being both very tall and very muscular, and yet he wanted to cry like a baby And so he went back to live with his mother in the villages of Men Here the story ends and we are left to imagine his worries and emotional unease among the men he found so stupid — and perhaps his future visits to his jungle friends to run free with them in the spring
The joy and pain of those adolescent years of change are very clearly and caringly described in these stories Maybe that is why they are still so popular For questions | to 5, find words or phrases in the text which mean the same as these: Ï teenagers (first paragraph) . -ccccceececeeerxee

My father had told me he had a journal written by his grandfather, He was an inventor and created a new kind of aircraft in the 1920s The final test flight was a disaster and my great-grandfather was killed when the aircraft crashed Before the test he had announced that all his writings were to be burnt if it failed My grandfather had not burnt anything! So I rewrote the facts in the journal in the style of a novel I put in how people felt as well as what happened I drew a cover for it and gave it the title ‘Fly or Die’ I didn’t win the prize but the publisher wrote and asked me to send him some of my fictional stories for children He says I have too much imagination to write documentaries

Yio ai] [6d L ULoo to find out about Sable
We asked Kevin from Children’s
1 At Sable Heaven's concert I spoke to Marty Weeks who looks after the costumes and make-up for the group when they are on tour She told me
she keeps up to 40
costumes clean and ready for Jody, the lead singer, alone Altogether she has about 100 sets of clothes, some of them just jeans and T-shirts but most of them some kind of suit with trousers, jacket and
shirt There are some ordinary-looking stage suits made of leather and metal or silk, and there are some brilliant costumes that transform the boys into Star Trek type astronauts or snake- like monsters or even black angels These are
made of other materials
and they all need a great ;
deal of looking after 2 During a show Marty is in
the costume van behind
the stage All the clothes,
which hang in cupboards,
one for each member of
the band, are arranged in
colours So, for instance,
all Jody's costumes are
together with his black ones at one end of the line, then the blue, then the red and so on to the white at the other end
Marty says that
sometimes the band suddenly decides to change between songs and they all come out and demand their green silk or their black leather She says that the mess after a change like that is quite amazing
3 | talked to the band about their clothes They said they felt that what they wore set the atmosphere
for each part of the show Jody said he would like to
wear a different costume
for each song but that just wasn't possible when
doing live concerts They sometimes managed to do apiece of music that only one of them was on stage for, so that all the
others could go off and
change Some of the costumes really are
Heaven's crazy clothes Express to
strange and, according to the band, they are an
integral part of the visual
effect of the show
4 After the show, I asked
some members of the audience what they thought of them Those
who noticed them said
they were brilliant and added to the whole thing but most people,
especially the girls, said they liked it better when
the band just wore jeans One girl said she felt the
band looked more like ordinary people in jeans,
people you could meet
and talk to and fall in love with
5 Maybe that’s one reason
the band like to have costumes, so that they seem too strange to be friends with The fans
certainly wanted to be
friends with them after the show and would not Jet them leave In the end they had to hide in the costume van and Marty drove them away from

Odysseus was king of Ithaca, a small island kingdom in Western Greece He had been wandering the Mediterranean for twenty years by the time he finally managed to get home from the Trojan War He had heard that most people believed he was dead and that his palace was full of men who wanted to marry his wife, Penelope So he first approached the home of the man who looked after his pigs, Eumaios There he met his son, Telemachus, and told him who he was Then he went to his palace dressed as a blind singer, in the hope of finding a way to get rid of the suitors without being killed
Eumaios had told Penelope that the blind singer had news that Odysseus was alive and would return soon So Penelope interviewed him and was so pleased with his news that she ordered the servants to look after him While one old woman was washing his feet she recognised a scar on his leg and guessed he was Odysseus himself Odysseus told her not to give him away Penelope
announced that tonight she would choose her husband and so Odysseus went to the evening meal in his palace as a beggar asking for food in return for a

song He was there when Penelope came onto her balcony and said “Whoever
can string the bow of great Odysseus, my husband, and then shoot an arrow
through twelve axe handles is the man I will marry.’
Telemachus arranged the axe handles and brought the bow and arrows All the suitors tried but no one could bend the bow At last Odysseus asked to be allowed to try Telemachus suggested that if he did he would be given some new clothes and sent home The suitors and Penelope agreed and Penelope
went back to her rooms At a signal from Telemachus that the servants were
ready, Odysseus threw off his singer's ragged cloak and took the bow He strung
it and shot an arrow through the twelve axe handles so quickly that the suitors were shocked into silence Then he turned the bow on them and he and his
servants had a great fight with the suitors and cleared the palace of them before
morning When Penelope woke up and came to see what had happened, she
found her husband truly returned and her palace her own again So Odysseus
took back his kingdom, his wife and his family after twenty years’ absence

When I first agree to do a portrait I spend some time with the subject, just
getting to know them Say it is a man I have never met before I like to see him having his breakfast and talking on the phone I like to know how he behaves with his family, with his colleagues, with people in shops and on trains I like to visit him at work, watch him move about, and go for a meal with him and his wife Then I can start to get an idea of his personality
By the time I have him sitting in my studio I am ready to concentrate on his appearance At first I think about the general appearance, the body, the clothes, the colouring Some people are overweight or skinny and hate themselves for it They may want me to improve on reality! Some are comfortable with their bodies Some are very good-looking and know it, others take no notice of their looks Some pretend to take no notice I always tell my subjects to wear their favourite clothes, unless they have to be painted in a uniform or something specific I learn a lot from the clothes they choose
Lastly, I start to consider the face That is where all the secrets of the personality show themselves, especially in the eyes It is the most interesting part of portrait painting, the face It is where I need all my skills and where my own personality can show itself a little, too
Once I was very poor, like most artists, but now I am doing well I make a good living painting the rich and famous But I don’t only have talent and lots of important friends And I don’t rest on my laurels I have determination and |
insist on growing and developing all the time That is the side of my personality
which helps my work the most, the need to go on experimenting
