It has many uses as well, and is a helpful tool in many fields. CGI is used for visuals, advertising, anatomical modeling, architecture, special effects in cinema, and

The song Clean, written by Taylor Swift and produced by Imogen Heap is a pop song that actually has a deep meaning. The secret meaning of this song is “She lost him, but she found herself and somehow that was everything.” This secret meaning gives me a hint of what type of song Clean is.

James Cameron's 1991 sci-fi film Terminator 2: Judgment Day has many tropes and themes that film theorists love to talk about. There is Sarah Connor's presence as this tough, badass woman who is fighting for hope and humanity in a world that is a male-dominated dystopia. In class, we discussed our thoughts on Laura Mulvey's Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema and the existing norm of sexual difference, the extreme sexualization of women, the "male gaze", and other things such as ideology and seeing

some pictures and the things I did. Let 's begin! (All the bloggers/booktubers I mention will be linked at the end!) Friday Friday was educator 's day, but they had an author luncheon that was open to the public. The authors at the luncheon were Sarah Dessen, Ruta Sepetys, and E. Lockhart. I met up with my friend, Avery, to go to the event. As we were sitting in the lobby, we saw Marie Lu walk in and I started freaking out.

When the crate arrived, Michelle knew her precious artwork survived the auction block. Mike had bought her story---how it tore at her soul to sell the pieces. It would be akin to brushing away chunks of her life, erasing it as if it never existed, she told him. She didn’t lie. It would kill her to sell them. She’d only receive half the proceeds. Besides, Mike, now bent on expunging all memories of their marriage, expeditiously liquidated their past at fire sale prices. His previous groveling, begging
