His wife stood there with a shocked expression on her face, as if she was alarmed with the fact that she back talked Morton. The silence between the two seemed to have an effect on their surroundings- as the soothing afternoon breeze came to a halt, almost as if it wanted to hear what was going to be said next

However, once in a rare moment then a movie comes out that is not just foe entertainment and dares to address a controversial issue. “The Blind Side” and “Precious” are two movies that I was very surprised at my reaction to them. My reasons for wanting to see both movies were as different as night and day. I went to see the “Blind

My lips brush against the microphone attached to the podium. The mahogany wood is warm from the announcer. My legs start trembling, and a bead of sweat slowly trickles down my forehead; I look at the crowd before me, every seat is taken, and yet, no sign of my family.

They are nervous, I can tell; I see my advisor shift uncomfortably in his seat, giving me a half-hearted nod of encouragement. He is
