Sequel

Sequels sell, and in the case of Jurassic World (2015), this was certainly the case. The film shattered records, taking in an incredible $524,418,134 during the opening weekend (IMDB). On top of this, the film seems to address many of the social tensions and emotions of the current generation. From the independent woman still needing a man, to children dealing with parental divorce, the social messages are strong in the film. Equally though, the film is a statement of a reignited interest in

Alyssa M. Gonzalez “13, 1977, 21” In Jonathan Lethem’s personal narrative essay, “13, 1977, 21”, Lethem reflects on when he was 13 years old, in the year 1977, where he watched the film Star Wars 21 times. But the essay is not actually about the Star Wars film. It is about the way Lethem used going to the movies to remove himself, or “hide” from the realities of his life, such as his mother’s illness and awkward pre-teenage years. The first few sentences of Lethem’s essay is where he blatantly

Have you ever been told you’re not good enough or the thing you’re trying to achieve isn’t good enough? Well the main character Grillo in the novel Always Running by Luis J Rodriguez has been told he isn’t good enough from being the little kid sitting in the back of a classroom when he was in elementary school because he didn’t know english, to joining a gang in his teens, to getting away from the gang violence he was in and changing his life entirely when hes older.

OVER THE PAST YEAR, the release roadmap for Hitman changed more times than Agent 47 has disguises, before publisher Square Enix and developer IO Interactive finally settled on “you’ll just get the bits that are ready in March for cheap”. It’s always disquieting to see such indecision over an expensive property so close to release, and sure enough, Hitman’s “Intro Pack” shows signs of a hasty assembly the way my trackpants did in the ‘90s whenever my parents were silly enough not to knock before entering

What caused Grillo’s life to change throughout the story ? Grillo’s character changes throughout the story “Always Running” because he went from being a lonely , anti social person when he was younger to growing up and being involved in Drugs , Gangs , and being in relationships with girls .
