This is the work done by Verónica, Alejandra and Milena.
It's based on Renoir's painting Il Ballo Del Moulin De La Galette.
Here's their story. Remember you have to change the end.
Il Ballo Del Moulin De La Galette
The
coming of the spring in France is an important event which is
celebrated every year at Moulin De La Gallette, the most attractive
garden in Paris. Of course, the aristocracy meets there to talk, drink
champagne and eat delicacies. At four p.m. when the orchestra starts playing, men look for a female partner and ask her to dance.
Nicole,
who is an American 15 year-old girl, is travelling around Europe with
her rich aunt Mary Jane, with the purpose of learning about European
culture and acquiring good manners to become a distinguished lady.
Nicole and Mary Jane are sitting on a bench at the celebration,
Mary
Jane: Oh girl! What a change you have done, before coming here you were
like a caterpillar but now you have become a butterfly.
Nicole: that is a very sweet compliment. Thank you, thank you auntie!
Mary Jane: you know I’m right, you didn’t even know how to dress properly or how to talk to other people.
Nicole: oh auntie! You have been such a great inspiration to me, now I know how to be a cold witch.
With a slight cough a young man interrupts the conversation,
Francois: excuse me! Where do these beautiful ladies come from? Let me guess…hum maybe America?
Mary Jane: oh what a clever young man! Nicole, are you listening?
Nicole -distracted looking at another boy-: yes, yes we are American
Mary Jane: how did you recognize our accent?
Fracoise:
well I am a businessman and I have been there a couple of times. Let me
intrdoduce myself, I’m Francois Brontë. I’m the owner of the
magnificent house by the lake in the entrance of the city and I have a
new chariot but I haven’t found the love of my life yet.
Meanwhile, Mary Jane whispers on Nicole’s ear: girl, this is your opportunity, he has a lot of money and good looking.
Nicole: Aunt Marie! I think I’m falling in love (she sighs with a smile)
Mary
Jane: this is my niece Nicole and my name is Mary Jane. Nice to meet
you (Mary Jane stretches her hand to be kissed by Francois)
Francois: the pleasure is mine, and which is the reason we are honored with your presence?
Nicole: I am in Europe to learn how to be a refined lady.
Mary Jane: oh yes! And she has proved to be such a good student, she could be an excellent wife for any noble man.
Francois: and definitely her beauty lights up this party.
Nicole: thanks! Well I think we have talked too much and now it is time to dance…
Francois: would you mind…
Nicole goes away to dance with the young man she has been looking at since she arrived
Mary Jane: Nicole, Nicole come here! … well it seems Nicole is gone, so, let’s dance…
Francois: but.. no! no!
Francois
and Mary Jane just dance for few minutes and he leaves the party,
feeling disappointed. On the contrary, Nicole feels she is dancing in
the sky and Mary Jane starts talking to another handsome man.

Nicole goes away to dance with the young man she has been looking at since she arrived. The aunt went mad and ran after her.
ResponderEliminarMary Jane: Nicole! Go and dance with Francois right now!!! You have to marry him!!! He's rich!! We'll be rich!! What are you doing here dancing with this poor stranger?
Nicole (talking in a low voice): This "poor stranger" is a French prince. Get out of my sight! You are ruining everything!
Mary Jane walked away and dance all night long with a man who tried to rob her at the end of the night.
Nice ideas Noelia. A prince!! Like a fairy tale!

ResponderEliminarMary Jane wants to dance with Francois and he accepts. They spend the hole night dancing, drinking and talking about their lives. They really like each other.
After some minutes Nicole comes back, disappointed because she doesn´t like the other boy at all. She wants to talk with Francois but he rejects her because he is now her aunt's boyfriend.
