    As he had yanked on the back of my collar and hauled me away from his clique, I could hear them snickering about me. I whined like a wounded dog as he finally stopped clutching my collar, and when the pain had subsided to a dull throb, I tried to negotiate and pleaded to him that I would even do all the chores, except Suzanah’s, for a month. But, the knob head wouldn’t bargain with me. Angus just sat and hung his head in his hands, as I started listing all the reasons why he should get me some tickets. That was until I was filled with the dread and realisation, as it rose inside me like the crashing waves of a tsunami, that all the tickets were sold out. As I fell against the wall, my hair fell in my eyes, but I was too shock-stricken to flick it away.…

    The history of the Plains Indians and the American West is very interesting. The book Our Hearts Fell to the Ground by Colin G. Calloway really goes in depth on how life was for the Native American people, as well as the progression of the American West. I really felt that the book was a good source of information on the lives of the Native Americans and had an excellent outlook on how they lived their everyday lives. This book possesses many illustrations and documents that have their advantages and disadvantages. It also touches on the subject of how White soldiers really took over the Native American land and why this time was considered “a world in flux.”…

    Catch Me If You Can is a film which was released in the year 2002, leading to a gross earning over 150 million. The actors in the film had earned multiple awards and the film itself earned Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best director and BMI Film Music Award. Three major roles in the film were Leonardo DiCaprio who played the main character of Frank Abagnale, Jr., Tom Hanks as Carl Hanratty, the FBI agent, and Christopher Walken as Frank Abagnale, Sr. The story of the film was quite accurate for being a Hollywood movie, however, a couple of characters had been merged, events had been over exaggerated and are not in the exact order of how it really happened for the sake of entertainment. As stated by the real Mr. Abagnale it must be understood that the movie shall not be taken as a biographical documentary.…

    In our first lesson we were asked to create still images with thought tracks to highlight key moments in order to understand the play. We decided to make a still image of verity getting angry with her parents and knocking over her little village as we thought this was a key moment. We had verity at the front side of the stage with her parents on the other side pointing at her we had Verity we her hands in her hair as if she was going to rip it out in anger, her face was in a grimace to show the pain and anger she felt, her leg was pulled up in a kicking motion as if she was about to destroy her village. The proxemics between Verity and her parents showed that they had a bad relationship; it could also show that her parents don’t want to be associated with that side of her personality. Webster’s groups still image stood as they showed Verity as a patient in a mental hospital, they showed Verity at the front of the stage with a burnt chair in the middle Verity held her head in her hands and her legs up to her chest to show closed body language which allows the audience to see that she is sad.…

    > A new MRRT: The application of the MRRT is limited to iron ore and coal projects in Australia. For the mining industry, the structure of the MRRT generally represents a major positive shift away from the previous RSPT model (proposed under the Rudd government). For example, the headline rate has dropped to 30 per cent and there is an additional 25 per cent extraction allowance (which effectively reduces the headline rate to 22.5 per cent). In addition, the MRRT allowance used to augment carry forward MRRT balances has been set at the longterm bond rate (LTBR) plus 7 per cent and market value can (by choice) be used as the starting base for existing projects. Further, miners with ‘low levels of resource profits’…

    Cheating statistics are ever increasing in the United States. Honesty, trust and lasting relationships seem far- fetched and even rare in our society. Imagination and sensualized stories in the media play a dangerous role in our psyche. It turns reality into a scene scripted directly from The Young and the Restless. Illicit thoughts provoked by unsolicited opinions or negative experiences of peers tend to infiltrate unsuspecting minds. These thoughts multiply and produce dangerous perceptions that haunt the very core of one partner. Malicious intuitions start consuming the brain giving refuge to explosive fury. The faithful partner morphs into a ticking time bomb tallying inconsistencies and waiting for an ingenuous time to detonate. Often, a life event shows people that trust is the key component to a strong relationship.…
