Dear editor

I read your article "Giuliani forced into climbdown". It was about a artwork which shows the holy Virgin Mary adorned with elephant dung. I think that artsist have the right to create what they want, but a artist should know about the consequences of an artwork. It's very disrespectful if someone makes a picture in which he "adorne" one of the holiest person in a religion. I also think that it's not good if an artist only creates shocking art to get attention or to make promotion. Also shocking art has it's limits. The photos of an anorexic model are a good example of positive shocking art. It's against anoxeric models at the milano fashon week. Shocking art can be used very well to show the problems of our society, but some artists cross the line and tehy just provocate like the Virgin Mary in elephant dung.

A STORY

One day, a new girl came to our school. Her name was Jane Eyre. Like me and all the other pupils she was an orphan. She lost both parents, just like me. In this school, there were only girls ho had lost one or both parents. I was not so long on the school, I arrived just a week before Jane arrived. Like me, she was often alone. So I decided to talk to her. She seemed like a nice girl to me. I also never got much friends, so I was glad that we built up a friendship. We both got problems in school. It was a very bad school. The food was very bad, and in winter it was always very cold inside ad outside the school. Then the water we had to use to wash our self was frozen. One day Helen was hit by the teacher because her fingernails were dirty. I've met Helen 2 days before Jane met her. She was a good friend of us, always devotional. She was very intelligent. The time at the school was very bad. The saddest thing that happened to us was when Helen died. She died in front of me, in the arms of Jane. She had tuberculosis. It was a hard time for me and for Jane, but we could talk about the problem that we had. The death of Helen had starched the friendship of me and Jane.

London (SE). Bill Sikes, the most proble murderer of nancy, died in front of manyinhabitans after a persecution of the police. An inviolent person called Fagin was arersted and interragated. The missing boy oliver was also saved of after the abduction by the leader of a pickpocket gang.

Yesterday at 12 o'clock the withe dog of Bill Sikes brought the police to the hidding place, where over ten children were hidding. This children were allso members of the pickpocket gang. As the police arrived, Bill took Oliver and he escaped with him. The police and a crowed of people followed him, until he had an accident after a escape over the roofes of the houses. At teh accident he hanged himself. It was a succesfull night for the police, because they also cought Fagin, the leader of the pickpocket gang.
Oliver, who was a few weeks in captivity brought back to his stepfather Mr. Brownlow, who we interviewed: "I'm so glad that Oliver is saved. I'm sure, now that Oliver lives at me, he will have the best live that i can give him. He is like a son for me, which i've never got."
Now Oliver lives in the big house of his stepfather Mr. Brownlow, who is very rich. Oliver met Mr. Brownlow after he was charged to be member pickpocket gang, but Mr. Brownlow knew that it was not Oliver who robbed him, that it was another boy. So he came the first time to Mr. Brownlow, but then he was cought again by fagin and the pickpocket gang.
After a trial in London Fagin was arrestet for 15 years. The judges orderes that, because Fagin leaded the pickpocket gang for over 25 years. Oliver visited him after a few days.
