Emrullah-Ece M Dryad Story

For Empedocles, “water, air, earth and fire” are the roots of the universe.According to his claim, these roots or these elements (arkhe) have always existed from time immemorial, but they mixed with each other in certain proportions and created this familiar face of the universe. All beings emerged from these four elements and thanks to these four elements they will exist.

Serap-Yağmur Dryad Story

The four elements of Empedocles (four elements, four principles, four roots, four main substances, four arcs or four elements) are different forms of matter. Solid, liquid, gas, ice, water, fire, etc. These are different states of the same substance, that is, the same main substance. These four elements, according to him, are combined or separated by the opposition of Love (Philia) and Hate (Neikos). Because Love brings the elements together, Hate separates them.

ASİYE KÜBRA NAZAR Dryad Story Ms. Nagehan has been doing research for the project she has been wanting to write for a long time. His intention was to address a global problem with an environmental-themed project and to raise awareness of the issue among students. How the virus, which has affected the whole world for a year, turned life upside down. In fact, what happened was a very important message that people should be more sensitive to the environment. Why did we have to go through all this? Because we were selfish. We spent the water like unlimited, we built sites in fertile lands. We unconsciously polluted the air we breathe. We've left many plant and animal species homeless. There is no need to look away at the perpetrators of the problems we are experiencing today. We must rectify our mistakes as soon as possible. Dryads should meet their trees now. Asiye- Zilan Dryad Story DREAM “In order to achieve great things, it is not enough to act, to dream of what we want to do, to dream of what we want to do; it is necessary to believe that the dream will come true. "Anatole France Four elements of Empedoleks throughout the day are "fire, air, water, earth"; Ms. Nagehan, who was busy with Dryads who lived just as much as the trees they lived in, fell asleep with the dream of her new project that completely covered her mind. She met Letsinia in her dream. Letsinia wanted to regain the rose wood that was home to her and her family years ago. Letsinia had been looking for someone who could help her for a long time. With the increase of hatred, the balance in nature was disrupted, and like many Dryads, he was homeless. Nagehan’s excitement while reading the information about them made her hope. Letsinia did not come to the dream of Nagehan alone: Thales, Anaximenes, Xenophanes, Heraclitus also accompanied her.

She smiled to herself, after shuffling between sleep and wakefulness. "It was a dream!" he said, but this word hurt his heart. The beautiful face of Dryad Letsina came before her eyes. Then he remembered the others. Letsinia was not alone. Thales, Anaximenes, Xenophanes and Heraclitus were with him. He had promised he would work to restore the balance in the world. Fire, air, water, soil are the four main elements and problems were experienced because the balance between these elements was disrupted. Love was replaced by hate. Something had to be done. He immediately called his school friend Mr. Fatih. When the phone was opened, with the effect of the dream, "I promised." Mr. Fatih said, first he did not understand. "What promise?" he said confused. This promise brought Ms. Nagehan to herself. “I need your help for the environmental project I have been thinking about writing for a long time.

The Four Main Elements "First learn the four roots of everything: Shining Zeus (Fire), life-giving Hera (Air), Hades (Earth), and Nestis (Water), whose tears nourish the sources of life for mortal people." EMPEDOKLES Fatih Bey was surprised; He realized that something different was happening. They immediately agreed with Mrs. Nagehan about the place and the time and hung up the phone for the first meeting. While Mrs. Nagehan was thinking of Letsinia, Fatih Bey Nagehan was trying to make sense of her hectic state.

When she learned that there were immortal ones among the draids who were born with the tree and died with the tree, she thought of Letsinia again. She was amazed that she was delighted with the idea that a creature she dreamed could be immortal. She was so caught up in these thoughts that she fell asleep on the computer.

EMRULLAH Dryad Story

Dream 2 Nagehan Hanım found herself in a forest, but this place was more of gray and its shades than green. She shuddered suddenly, there were people coming towards her. The one in front of them was Letsini. Everywhere she passed was green, but then she was getting gray again. `` Letsinia knew she would keep her promise, '' she said, `` I'll be happy to have her home. '' Nagehan, when she saw that the drayd Letsinia's supporters were Thales, Anaximenes, Xenophanes and Heraclitus, she understood that they represented the four main elements. It was Love and Hate that moved the elements of air, fire, earth, and water. Development in nature consisted in the struggle for equal power between these two. So what had happened that hatred had prevailed in the last war, dissipated these four main elements, pushed the draids away from their tree nests? When Nagehan woke up, she asked the same question to herself once again; how had hate prevailed, love conquered?

In fact Nagehan was not quite sure whether she was awake or asleep, but it was in this sleepy state that she thought she had found the answer. As long as Love, by itself, wants to fight a battle against Hate, Hate will always win, because war is Hate itself.

BRUNA Dryad Story

In Nagehan dream, Letsinia was asking for her help so that she could return home, to her lovely tree. But for that happen, the 4 elements would have to be reunited, and this task would require many combined efforts. For Love to prevail over Hate and for none of the four elements to prevail over the other, all the Dryads, all over the world, would have to go back to live in their own trees, everything would have to return to the natural order.

CÁTIA Dryad Story

And this would never be possible if each Dryad tried to fight their battle alone. All the Dryads would have to come together and work collaboratively trying to help each other. Only then the harmony between the four elements would be restored and the gray landscape would once again be painted green and blue.

DANIELA Dryad Story

IThe solution seemed to have been found, and Nagehan was full of hope that she could somehow contribute tothe preservation of her beloved Planet.

A single tree does not create a forest. In order to be a forest, other people in the world you live in must be with you. Unity is strength and this is the only way you can win the war. After Zeus said these, the four gods disappeared and Fatih awoke with a start. Neşe G.- Baran B Dryad Story
