When I first heard that we were required to attend a twelve-step meeting, I was convinced that it would be an uncomfortable and frightening experience. In my mind, I saw addicted people as dysfunctional and lost individuals who were complete opposites of anyone in my life. I decided to attend an A.A meeting and once I walked through the doors, I realized I had been wrong.

He fled the scene and is being hunted down because authorities believe that he killed the woman. Once he meets the man, he accidentally told the man he should not have told. The man killed him, but he actually was not killed and survived and not only is hiding from the authorities but people who work for the man that tried to kill him. When

Evaluation of a live performance: The performance I went to see was "The 39 Steps" on the 25th of March, at the Criterion Theatre in London, it's produced by Gaumont British. The original 39 steps was an action spy novel written by John Buchan in 1915.

I Cento Passi/The One Hundred Steps manages to convey the life of Peppino Impastato in a way that leaves us (as viewers) to be the ultimate judges of his character-- and retains a degree of emotionality that allows viewers to forge a human connection between themselves and Peppino Impastato as they form ideas about him; it is a strong and powerful call to action.
