Review of a review: The Unborn
I picked this review of The Unborn because i believe it was the strongest of the vew i read. This review contains words and phrases that make you want to watch this movie, well if you like a good scare that is. Whoever wrote this review obviously enjoyed the movie and seems like they would recomend it.

Another important point about this review was that she describes the movie and catches the reader and doesn't exactly give away anything that happened in the movie. Even though they say nothing about what happens you can also tell it is a horror movie from the words that the writer used. I have seen the movie also and i dont think i could have found any better words to describe it.

Freedom Writers
Directed by Richard LaGravenese

I found Freedom Writers to be a very good movie and makes you realize how it is to live in a place like their. A couple of the main characters would be Hilary Swank, April L. Hernandez, ad Patrick Dempsey. It was released on January 5th, 2007 and was directed by Richard LaGravenese.

Freedom Writers is about a new teacher named Erin, teaching some troubled teens that are mostly mixed up in gangs. She ends up helping all of them a lot and becoming a much respected person to them. In some ways you could say they were all like a family and Erin was like their mother.

I would say Freedom Writers and The Outsiders. They compare because they are both about the gangs and discrimination of where someone is from. There is much more conflicts between race in Freedom Writers however. The way the socs think they are better than the greasers because they have all the money in The Outsiders i find is about the same as that. Freedom Writers is more about race than money but the basic idea of discrimination and how each takes it is the same.

I found the acting really good in this movie. The only thing I noticed that was of bad quality in this movie was how they only showed that the kids had 2 classes all day and it was in the same room. I just didn’t think that was very well thought out and was rather careless. That made the story seem less realistic to me. Over all though I found the acting very well done and the actors were well picked although some were obviously older than the characters they were playing.

I think the message of Freedom Writers was never to give up on life when things are hard and also not to discriminate people because of their race or color.

Mr. Carter
Them Blackville Talon

Dear Mr. Carter

I am writing you this letter to apply for a job in the sports section on the Blackville Talon. I think I would do good in this section because I play all the sports I would be reporting on within this school
Since I play all the sports and such I can have an inside view at everything that

went on. Also you wouldn’t have to worry about me slacking on it seeing as I would be there anyway. I love sports so even if it was for the senior girls games I m usually there to watch anyway.

Thank you for reading my letter, I’m available anytime for an interview, just give me a call.


Respectfully yours,

Travis Keenan

I was riding my horse and buggy into town to the store to buy some taters and smelts for the big barn raising tonight. I see people walking all around me, I assume just on their way back home from school seeing as it’s around 3 and they have bags. My buggy is bouncing horribly hard on the dirt road (wouldn’t wheels and bumpy dirt roads are kind of a rough combination.). Since the buggy is made of hard would it was very uncomfortable and rather painful to come down upon after a large bump. I smell a mixture of horse dung and my son sitting beside me who hasn’t had his monthly shower so it wasn’t such an amazing scent. Then as I approached the store I began to smell the entangling aroma of freshly cooked bread and tasty sweets. I get to the store and end up buying what I went for and more, this should be great for the barn raising.
