I used to hate the image staring back at me in the mirror. The figure that stood in front of me had skin as black as night. Skin that remind her peers of slavery and always was the butt of the jokes. I was just a little girl when I learned how to be ashamed of myself.…
It’s no mystery that “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is a film intended for the younger crowd in America. The movie follows mischievous high school senior, Ferris Bueller, for an entire day as he skips class and does whatever it takes have a care-free “day off” in downtown Chicago. Ferris pulls out all the stops and uses his cunning ways to convince his girlfriend and hesitant best friend to join him while avoiding their suspicious principal, and he even goes as far as persuading that friend to secretly take out his father’s 1961 Ferrari for the day. The movie attracts and inspires students like me to live by the motto, “Leisure Rules”.…
You're nothing but a piece oh shit on the bottom of my shoe, thats whats wrong. I'm leaving with Shug and getting away from you. Your'e a dirty rat and your dead body is just the welcome I need to leave you. You might have been a half way decent man if your father raised you right. You know that Nettie was all I had and the only one that loved me and you took her away from me. Your'e nothing but trash for doing that to me. Your'e cruel but it don't matter no more. My sister is taking care of my children in Africa. My children Olivia and Adam are learning different languages and are coming back home soon. And when they get here we are all gona whoop your ass for doing that to me. And we will do it with no regret for the things you done to me. Beating a woman doesn't do shit and I'm gona laugh when everything you wish for crumbles down. My children are gona turn out way better then these blockheads you never made the time to raise. If your son Harpo hadn't tried to beat Sofia into submission then the white people would have never gotten to her. She wouldn't have gotten sent to jail either. You had rotten kids. They made my life hell, they did. But of course you aint nothing but some horse shit. You thought beating me would make me submit to your will? Well, boy you sure are wrong. No one ever is gona treat me that way no more. With you I felt that I wanted to go somewhere but I couldn't. I almost got my spirit beaten outa me and I just wanted to rot somewhere. And I never even asked you for a God damn thing!!! I never asked you for nothing at all!!! Not even your hand in marriage. I never asked you for nothing, but your sorry ass asked everything from me. Wash the dishes, clean the house, feed the kids, shave my beard. And I never got nothing in return!! But I never complained bout that cause I know you would just beat the shit outa me!! And until you do me right then everything you touch…
I, Captain Torres, who believes that our country should have better conditions, am here to bring out a new revolution! You people, who oppose us, definitely did not think it through! Have you ever thought about your living conditions? Wouldn’t you want to improve it? Or make it a better place for all of us to live in? Look at yourself and look at people around you! Don’t you people see what’s going on in our country? Do any of you even have the mood to just smile for one second? Eight years ago, November 18, 1968, in Turkey, Richard Moses, the leader of the Turkish people in a town, brought out a revolution! It was a total success! You stupid people didn’t know about it, did you? Every single person in Turkey cheered for the dramatic change! They received good food, decent wages, ethical living conditions, and millions more! Don’t you want any of those fantastic conditions? Take some time to think about your stupid actions stopping us! Think precisely! This is actually not only for our advantages, but also for the good of everyone single person here in this town! I command all of you to listen to me and support me! You will be living in broken houses, wearing torn clothes and barely having any food supplies! So, stop complaining about foolish people. Now, do not waste my precious time! Let’s get out of here! Let’s leave all these foolish people here and get on our way to the new revolution! Let’s go, I said…
A star on the football team since he was young, people thought he was just a health fanatic, against risking what he had going, but it wasn't. Not really. It was about what it did to people. What the smell of smoke did to Sodapop and I. About…
Tony - Yeah mate, last Thursday me mum passed away. I drove up to the hospital in ‘old betsie’ for me usual afternoon visit after a cracker of a day at work, only to find out the angels had taken her. Those nurse ladies told me it was just her time, but I don’t understand aye, she was such a trooper through the whole thing from diagnosis, right throughout chemo, the lot.…

CURSED When a series of murders haunt the city of Brooksville, Michael is the one who is affected the most. All his loved ones are the target. Will he be able to protect them from this curse? Chapter one “She is dead, Michael.”…
Within this film it is clear that the styles of narration used by the screenwriter's are classic Hollywood narrative styles, which is when there is a "strong central protagonist and neatly resolved climax" (Bordwell and Thompson, 2005). Another way of proving that this is a classic narrated Hollywood film is by looking at what Bordwell (2005), states as the action revolving around a central character that by the end of the film fulfills his/her goal. By looking at all of the above, the point argued in this essay is clear that this film is a typical Hollywood narrated film, even though there are some techniques used by the screenwriters and directors that lean towards the way non Hollywood films are narrated.…
Thankfully, George didn't seem to be mad at me. He didn't seem to be mad at me at all. We were both beside the brush far away from the ranch, infront of a vast river. Across the river was the Gabilan mountain range, which reminded me of the rabbits that I would soon be able to tend with George. I asked him to tell me about the other guys an' about us, like he's done before. Then I asked him to tell me how it's gonna be in the future, at our farm. I love it when he talks about the farm, and the way he describes it is so dreamy. Once again, it felt as if I fell into a deep trance by George's words; I could imagine all the rabbits and the alfalfa, the cows, pigs, and chickens.. All in our very own farm where we have our own freedom. As George…
What? Your still crying? For god’s sake, just shut up now. I couldn’t even sleep last night because of the noise. I mean look at the state of you. You didn’t even cry this much when you were a baby!…
The Pictures “UGH! Shelbie can not say things like that! At least not about me!” I thought what she said about me inside my head. I’m sorry let me start from the beginning.…
I haven't had the opportunity to read the book though I've wanted to after seeing the movie. It seems like a very violent descent into insanity in the movie, cut by pieces of harsh violence and yuppie culture. What I'd be curious of figuring out would be the entire internal monologue. Most of the movie rides on his monologue and very little on what people say or think as if they are just props in his life.…
Dear Auntie, I don't think I can stand one more day on this dumb island. All of these boys are mean and don’t have any respect for me. Tonight me and my friends, Ralph and Samneric are heading over to Castle Rock to call an assembly with Jack and his tribe and telling them they need to listen to Ralph again, but first let me tell you about some of the preposterous things that have happened on this island.…
In anguish I am writing to you my unborn children. Be comforted that your mother and I have insurmountable love for you and we have longed for you since we were mere children. These past few years have been toilsome and a great burden. I must speak with candor when I admit to you that the responsibility for this falls onto my shoulders. Every night, I am roused from my slumber by the agonizing decision oppressing me. I feel compelled to analyze and explain my actions and what I am currently leaning toward. Know that I am doing what I think is best for our family.…
