I glanced at the clock

In the novel The Outsiders, one of the many thematic statements is that people become trapped on one side of an argument. They only see from one perspective and fail to see the other side. The paragraphs below illustrate when and how Ponyboy changes his perspective, understands the other side, and gradually breaks the barrier between the Socs and greasers. Ponyboy started to learn that not all Socs were arrogant and violent when Dally took the gang of greasers to the movie. Coincidentally, this

For many binge Netflix watchers, the end of 2015 brought a story to screen that has been unknown to most until now through the ten part documentary series Making a Murderer.

What does an individual characterize as how a song can define themselves? Jason Derulo's song The Other Side can define an American individual’s longing to find someone else to complete themselves. An American individual is someone who falls in love without even trying. It begins with the friendship of two people, then slowly escalates to something more meaningful.

I chose to analyze acting from The Blind Side which won an Academy award for best actress (Sandra Bullock) in this film. The Blind Side is a realistic film because it is about true events, is a mirror of reality, and has no distortions.

I decided to watch this movie because the acting by Sandra Bullock is phenomenal, emotional, and stunning. She usually plays

Since arriving and taking the hard decision to stay in USA, I have been dreaming and envisioning the moment I will go back home. This country with millions of miles of highways, crowded metropolises, sunny beaches, lush rainforests and endless possibilities has been a foundation for a new beginning. It wasn’t easy to preserver and succeed all alone in this new world. Falling in love, getting married and starting a family has been a blessing which gave me a purpose for all those countless days of

scissors to Helen and Bryson, I had notice that the gate was shut to enter the dugout area where they were retrieving the canopy. I had asked them how did they get through the closed gate. They had told me that they had climbed over to get to the other side. At that point when they told me, I felt very concerned because they could have gotten hurt and I had not know where they were because Mr.Winn had got out of his way to use his authority to have our ambassadors complete a task without my supervision
