“It’s Never too Late to Learn”
Teacher: “We live in a complicated and contradictory world. Many people
nowadays are busy communicating with their electronic devices and don’t know
the rules how to communicate in real life. Many of us become too concentrated on
ourselves and don’t mention others who need their help. Many schoolchildren feel
lonely and don’t know how to make friends and to maintain friendly relations.
These are books that often teach us how to socialize. Let’s see what rules we can
learn from fairy tales by Oscar Wilde”
Pupil1 (tells the class the biography of Oscar Wilde) : “Oscar Wilde was born
on 16th October 1854 in Dublin, Ireland. His parents were well known and
attracted a degree of gossip for their extravagant lifestyles. In 1964, his father
Wille Wilde was knighted for his services to medicine. However his pride in
receiving this honour was overshadowed by an allegation of rape by one of his
patients. Although never proved, it cast a shadow over William Wilde.
Oscar Wilde proved to be a student of great talent. He was awarded a scholarship
to Trinity College Dublin. Here he studied the classics, in particular developing
an interest in the Greek philosophers and the Hellenistic view of life. From
Trinity College he won a scholarship to Magdalen College, Oxford University. He
enjoyed his time in Oxford and was able to develop his poetic sensibilities and
love of literature. He also became more conscious of his bisexual nature. For his
increasing “feminine” dress he often received stick from more “traditional”
Oxford students. He was a brilliant scholar, but also increasingly rebellious. In
one academic year he got rusticated for turning up to College three weeks after
the start of term. Thus, after a while he lost interest in pursuing an academic
career in Oxford and moved to London. It was in London that he was able to
skilfully enter into high society, soon becoming well known as a playwright and
noted wit. Oscar Wilde became famous throughout London society. He was one
of the early “celebrities” – in some respects he was famous for being famous. His
dress was a target for satire in the cartoons, but Wilde didn’t seem to mind. In
fact he learnt the art of self-publicity and seemed to revel in it, at least up until
his trial in 1898.
Oscar Wilde’s trial gripped the nation, the subject matter a source of intense
gossip and speculation. For his “crime” of homosexual acts, Wilde was subject to
two years hard labour in Wandsworth and then Reading Gaol. It is no
understatement to say this experience deeply shocked and affected the previously
ebullient Wilde. In some respects he never really recovered; on his release, he left
for Paris where he lived in comparative anonymity. However he retained his wit
and continued to write, heavily influenced by his chastening experiences. Of
these post gaol writings, his poem “Ballad of Reading Gaol” is perhaps the most
well known, illustrating a new dimension to Wilde’s writing.
I never saw a man who looked
With such a wistful eye
Upon that little tent of blue
Which prisoners call the sky,
And at every drifting cloud that went
With sails of silver by.
I walked, with other souls in pain,
Within another ring,
And was wondering if the man had done
A great or little thing,
When a voice behind me whispered low,
“That fellow’s got to swing.”
From: Ballad of Reading Gaol
Although Wilde couldn’t return to his previous level of writing he developed new
capacities, whilst retaining his sharp intellect. As Jonathon Fryer commented on
Oscar Wilde’s final part of life he was.

Pupil 2 performs with presentation on the topic “The World Is Certainly
Very Beautiful or How not to Be Cruel”
Almost 70 years have passed since the end of World War II. It was the greatest
military conflict of two world military-political coalitions which involved 62
countries located on three continents. People all over the world pay tribute to those
who gave their lives in it and hope that it will never happen again.
Nowadays the world is not a safe place to live. Every day we learn about victims
of terroristic attacks in different countries. This project work studies the reasons of
people’s cruelty.
It investigates the curious strategy of Oscar Wilde, a great British writer, poet
and dramatist, in teaching kindness and compassion through his fairy tales for
children to make the world a better place.
I would like to say how the project began. At one of the English lessons my
classmates and I read a fairy tale “Prince Sparrow”. It showed how love to an
imaginary prince and friendship with a sparrow could change the cruel heart of a
naughty princess.
We had a discussion with 12 of my classmates on the topic “ What can help us
to change for the better and become happy”. The results of the survey showed that:
25% think that it is good books;
35 % - good films;
30% - think that it is much money to buy all that you want;
10 % - music.
My hypothesis is that it is books that can give us full understanding of life , code
of moral behavior and the key to happy life.
My favorite literary genre is fairy tales. So I analyzed 5 fairy tales by Oscar
Wilde and want to present the results.
The fairy tale “Star-Child”
is about how an exquisitely beautiful child found in the forest and brought up by
a shepherd grew into a cruel and selfish boy. He rejected his true mother. And
from that moment he lost his beauty in people’s eyes.
“The Happy Prince”
is another Oscar Wilde’s tale which is centered around the beautiful and
bejeweled golden statue of The Happy Prince and a Sparrow. The people of the
town admired the beauty of The Happy Prince, but the statue saw the sadness and
desperation in poor people of the town and enlisted the Sparrow’s assistance in
helping the less fortunate. The Sparrow agreed, giving up his selfish desires. The
Happy Prince gave up so much of himself that he was no longer beautiful and was
destroyed by his former admirers in the town, along with the Sparrow. However,
giving their generosity in helping the less fortunate, the couple is ultimately
given the greatest reward.
"The Selfish Giant"
is a tale about a giant who lived in a big house with a beautiful garden. Everybody
liked his garden but the giant was selfish and wanted it all to himself. In the cause
of time the selfish giant changed and became kind.
"The Devoted Friend"
tells a story of a young boy named Hans, who had the most beautiful garden,
however, the rich miller next door used and tricked Hans many times. The rich
miller took Hans for granted and made him do all sorts of chores for him with the
promise of giving him his wheelbarrow but it never happened. However, Hans
did anything the miller asked him because he was a good "friend" to the miller.
Sadly, little Hans died in the end running errands for the miller. The miller never
learnt what true friendship meant and how he had used Hans and had caused his
death.
"The Nightingale and the Rose"
tells the story of a young student who was desperately in love with a young girl.
The girl promised the student to dine with him if he could bring a red rose
from his garden. However, the student had no red rose and so all day he lay in the
grass and cried. A nightingale saw him from above , felt pity for the student and
tried to get a red rose for him. However, to get a red rose, the nightingale
sacrificed herself and sang into the trees’ thorns all night and used her blood to
turn the flower into a red rose. In the morning the nightingale fell dead. There
appeared a beautiful red rose for the student to find. He happily took the rose
never knowing the nightingale's sacrifice . But as he came to the girl’s place with
it she took back her promise and turned the student away. The student threw
the nightingale’s red rose into the street where it got trampled.
Both stories show the meaning of sacrifice and how we must not take advantage of
our friends.
Analyzing these fairy tales I come to the conclusions that:
I. The reasons of people’s cruelty are the following:
1. People are often cruel because they don’t experience love and friendship.
2. People are cruel because they are unhappy.
3. They are unhappy because they wrongly think that happiness is pleasure,
richness.
II. The best way to change the world is to learn to be happy.
III. Happiness is
love,
friendship.
care,
compassion,
sacrifice,
assistance to other people without demanding anything in return.
Now I'm already a fan of works by Oscar Wilde. They are witty and sharp ,
really timeless and classic. His works are unique and have great underlying
messages.
Do you agree with me?

10.Conclusion
In May 1945, World War II ended in Europe with the capitulation of the Germany
Many countries celebrate this event as Victory Day. On the occasion of the 70th
anniversary many cultural institutions in the world commemorate the events and
impacts of World War II with exhibitions, lectures and other events.
Every year we congratulate veterans on the victory but we seldom mention that
“The forgotten victims of World War Two were the children”. (Juliet
Gardiner)
So the main aim of my research is to find out how the war affected children and
how children could help grown ups to bring Victory Day nearer.
I made a survey in my class and asked my classmates
What damage did the war do to children?
The answers were the following:
60% said that many children were killed,
25 % said that children lost their parents,
10 % said that many children lost their homes,
5% said that children could not go to school and had to work.
I read many books about World War II, studied different publications. And this is
what I discovered.
1.A lot of children lost their lives in the Holocaust. Gas chambers were created to
kill humans. A gas camera is a sealed area where a poisonous chemical is
introduced in the room. In World War II, Hitler ordered the Nazis to send the Jews
to these rooms, many times informing them they were shower areas and they
would take a shower.1.5 million Jews were burned in ovens in crematoria. Almost
half of them were children.
2. Occupying troops didn’t show mercy to children and were brutal to them.
Children had to endure rationing, gas mask lessons. Many ones died not from
bullets and explosions but from starvation. It is hard to imagine the hardship of
being hungry in the 21st century.
3. Nearly two million children were evacuated during World War II and lived far
from their homes and with strange people.
As historical documents tell us about 200 thousand children were evacuated from
Leningrad to Uzbekistan. Most of them were orphans. After the war the Middle
East became their second home. A blacksmith from Tashkent Shaakhmed
Shamakhamudov and his wife became famous for adopting and educating 16
orphans. The clash of cultures experienced by many children was difficult.
4. A lot of children lost their lives under the bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. Fierce heat rays and radiation burst out
in every direction. Children and housewives were paralysed. Their internal organs
were boiled. And their bones became charcoal. Beneath the center of the explosion,
temperatures were hot enough to melt concrete and steel. Within seconds, 75,000
people had been killed or fatally injured with 65% of the casualties nine years of
age and younger. As a total about 250.000 civil citizens were killed. Many of
them were children.
What was the role of children in bringing the victory closer?
1.Armies of all participating countries used kid soldiers. They mingled with the
older soldiers, shared all sufferings of the war and died with them. Over 60,000
Soviet children came to be active combatants. Many children who lost their
families and homes became ‘sons of the regiment’.
2. Faced by a war children partisans had little choice. Many of them became
partisans. Soviet partisans cut communication lines, burned German supplies and
facilities. Many children partisans were killed by fascists. One of them was Zinaida
Portnova. She was killed one month before her 18-th birthday .She became the
youngest-ever female Hero of the Soviet Union. We will always remember the
names of Marat Kazei, Leonid Golikov, Volodia Dubinín. They had to live
underground with Soviet partisans and did all they could to do harm to fascist’s
troops on the occupied territories.
3. A lot of children worked on military plants together with grown ups.
The conclusion I have made is that:
1.A lot of innocent children died in all countries participants.
2.Many children got new families and homes but many lived in orphanages after
the war.
3. Children saw murders, lived in concentration camps. Their psychic badly
affected.
4. After bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki many children were born with
genetic disorder.
When grown ups want to unleash a war they should remember the poem
A CHILD’S WISH
Listen and repeat after me
I want to live and not to die,
I want to laugh and not to cry,
I want to feel the summer sun.
I want to sing when life is fun.
I want to fly into the blue,
I want to swim as fish can do.
I want to shake all friendly hands
Of all the young of other lands.
I want to work for what is right.
I want to love and not to fight,
I want to laugh and not to cry
I want to live and not to die.
