No sparks had showed themselves as a result of vast amounts of microwaves striking and then being deflected off the bronze which made up the volunteers statue. And, no reading was ever measured on the Geiger Counter, its needle remaining dead to the world. The crowd had been silenced by the end of Inez’s countdown

    “Frozen Beef” It’s a nice and a sunny day, so Timmy and his mom decided to go to a carnival. Right now, he is surrounded by carnival rides, like a ferris wheel and merry-go-round with a cotton candy stand next to it. There are no clouds to be seen in the sky, only a light blue and a burning ball of fire. Timmy thinks it’s a great day, and nothing could go wrong, or could it?

"Citizen Kane" is definitely a film that proves
