people have learnt a little of what Australian scenery looks like. The first day of shooting the film was on 24th May 1976 but before this many decisions had to be made. Matt Carroll, the producer had to get permission from the author of the book, Colin Thiele who wrote the book in 1963.

I woke up and did what I do every morning at the lake- look out the window to see how windy it is out. This morning there was no wind so I jumped out of bed and went outside. I ran to the dock and looked out at the water. The sun was shining down already producing heat. The water was still, there was no noise and most people were still sleeping. My brother came and joined my on the dock admiring the water as well. “You ready to go?” Tanner asked. “Definitely,” I replied. We went back in the house

In the book, The Good Girl, by Mary Kubica, one of the main characters, Colin Thatcher, shows a two very distinct personalities in the book. He changes throughout the book due to connections with others. Before he bonds with Mia Dennett, Colin is selfish and hostile, and manipulative. A good example of this is when the two first meet at the bar and Colin stops Mia from driving herself home while drunk, “She smiles and says that’s sweet. She thinks I care about her. Little does she know. I couldn’t

Jane Austen, one of the greatest authors to have ever lived, begins her (arguably) most famous work, Pride and Prejudice, with the very intriguing opening sentence: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” this line is probably the most well-known and iconic opening sentences in English Literature. The effectiveness of this line as a stunning opener to the novel works on both the lexical and underlying levels: the use

Tubing “Good afternoon Camp Newaygo” Kori yelled so the whole room of girls could hear. “Good afternoon Kori” we all replied, “We have some announcements today. Tubing!

Time to Clean!”, “We were starved as starved could be and now we’ve had enough you see, hi ho, hi ho, hi ho, away away we go away we go till next meal” everyone

It appears that I have something in common with great strategic leaders like General Schwarzkopf and General Powell; they were not born with inherent competencies as Strategic Planners or Strategic Theorists and neither was I. As I embark on my USAWC experience, I have already identified numerous areas for growth and this writing assignment will serve as the first. I have selected two of Galvin's “Mission Specific” outcomes, which I believe will require the most thought and exercise on my part

This week has been totally crazy. At the beginning of it, my best friend Aby got a job writing songs at Hi or Hey records. Then, after a year singing at the hottest clubs in Los Angeles, I got called in to sing for Five Seconds to Summer to see if I would get a record deal. After a long year of hard work, I got my chance. And, I finally got a record deal. Aby got transferred onto my management and we finally wrote some songs. Well we wrote four of them. Cool for the Summer, Someone New, Pity Party

Colin Luther Powell an American statesman and a retired four-star general once uttered this quote "Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard." It was in 10th grade when I first came across this quote and at that time it completely changed my life.
