later‚ the story is relevant making it “coming of age.” Personally‚ this book has no connection to my life. I have not encountered post traumatic stress from demise. In general‚ reading for the past five years hasn’t appeased me. However‚ “The Catcher in the Rye” engages and builds on suspense of events attracting me to finish it. A novel with mighty suspense is fascinating‚ but it wouldn’t create an intriguing movie. Narration happened in an immensely descriptive style creating an imaginative

I felt like tonight was going to be a great night to watch a movie with my family. I had reached for the silver remote on my maroon foot rest and held the red power button until I saw my tv gain a red glow at the bottom. When turned on‚ it was shown by the lower light that gleamed red. We wanted to watch an action packed movie so we decided to watch the very popular‚ thriller‚ “The Hunger Games”.

Many do not think a modern movie could resemble an epic poem written around the time of 700 B.C. However‚ the movie‚ O’ Brother‚ Where Art Thou?‚ written and directed by the Coen brothers‚ and the poem‚ The Odyssey‚ written by Homer‚ are similar in multiple ways.

In the poem‚ the main character‚ Odysseus‚ along with his men‚ are
