I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Ever since I was a little girl I always wanted a hippo. I asked my mom every Christmas if she could get one. She always said “ If I had a million dollars‚ and if it was legal.” Then I would just sigh and move on. But for Christmas she would get me hippo stuff‚ like hippo clothes‚ blankets‚ everything. That is how much I love hippos. Everyone at my school would always say I’m crazy because I loved them so much. Since we were in the sixth grade they

I favored the DVD over the written version of A Christmas Carol. Short stories and novels are not as interesting in my opinion. The book had a much darker tone throughout it. The movie had a slightly more lighthearted tone‚ with Scrooge laughing more often. There are multiple differences between the film and book‚ A Christmas Carol.

On occasion‚ there would be times where you could follow along to the movie with the script‚ but most of the time‚ it would be somewhat the same.The script compared to the movie is more informing and

American philosopher‚ Wayne Dyer‚ once said‚ “If you change the way you look at things‚ the things you look at change.” If you realize what you have done wrong‚ you can change how you act the next time you are in the same situation.
