The movie Spy Hard with Leslie Nielson is the one movie that I choose to write on. It is a slapstick comedy with plenty of scenes that the director makes the audience happy. The film is written to an older audience, but it will make young kids laugh throughout the movie. Since it is a spy movie, it has plenty of interesting scenes that may not be suited for young kids. Also, there is some adult content throughout the movie. Therefore, it is not recommend allowing kids to view this movie. The Spy

The author, Leslie Fiedler writes about the differences in what it means to be normal. She discusses this in a professional manner that opens eyes to what we have disguised and even been ashamed of. “The Tyranny of the Normal,” we learn much about what we perceive as abnormal and what society seems to portray normal as. We discover what we believe is normal and also what has changed through-out the history of this subject. Our minds are opened and exposed to the world of abnormalities and how we

An anthem of triumph, Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse’s “Feeling Good,” has traversed the generations with its inspirational and timeless lyrics. Since its debut in the 1960s musical The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd, the song “Feeling Good” has been covered by dozens of notable artists. Among them are Nina Simone and Avicii featuring the vocals of Audra Mae. The song originates from a scene in the musical sung by the character “The Negro” after he wins the game [of life] in

Many groups that Gladwell mentions in Outliers such as Ted Friedman, the Beatles

Libby Streeton- Irrational thinking is common in a nuclear war, right? Why did I expect Fin and Max would change their minds? I begged them through a river of tears to stay with me.
