Storytelling is more important to me than anything else, and I believe film is one of the most rewarding and honest forms of storytelling. Ever since I was a little kid I have been in love with movies. When I was nine I got a camcorder for Christmas, and I would make my friends help me remake scenes from my favorite movies, and when they said the lines wrong I would yell at them and make them do it over and over until they got it right or got so annoyed with me that they went home.…
Ben Hall and Maguire may have divided the property and operated independently of each other, as in John McGuire's narrative, 'The Biography of a Reliable Old Native', Maguire states that Ben Hall reputedly named his portion 'Cubbine Bin', running his own cattle and horses, and when required the two men worked together in clearing and forming stockyards close to their water supply, this would have been a prudent way to operate a new farming enterprise in the 1860’s, and thus the two squatters shared the yearly rent to the government, as for the acquiring of stock for this new enterprise, John Maguire states that Ben Hall and himself had done a bit of duffing, Maguire…
Terrence Des Pres thinks human moral sense is an evolutionary survival strategy, and I agree with him.…
Some people say he did it! Other say the evidence tells a different story. Books have set forth theories of the murders and experts have sounded off with their opinions of the case. And multiple appeals have been made to find the true justice. No matter what side of the truth you fall on, there is no doubt that the other side has some validity to its case.…
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano presented English identity as the epitome of modernity, and the mark of cultural maturity. Rather than being a set racial or national identity Equiano portrayed englishness as an achievable goal, even for a racially black man. The Narrative intentionally depicted Equiano’s transformation from African boy to Englishman a positive change. Through the portrayal of his life as a struggle to become an Englishman; and his telling of a willing adoption of anglican religion, cultural values, and economic sensibilities, Olaudah Equiano purposefully appealed to the paternalistic nature of the English in order to advocate for the abolition of slavery.…
“Novels and stories are renderings of life; they can not only keep us company, but admonish us, point us in new directions, or give us courage to stay a given course.” (Robert Coles). We as humans, all love a good story; whether we are watching a movie, listening to our favorite song, reading a novel or having someone tell us a story, there is always a sense of enjoyment. Stories are all around us and we can trace stories and the act of storytelling back to our early ancestors. "All the individuals of the same species, and the species of the same genus, or even higher, are descended from common parents;" stated by Charles Darwin in Origin of Species, his take on stories was take even though the story may change as humans evolve, they all start with an origin. Looking through the lens of literary Darwinism stories can be a metaphor towards the theory of evolution.…
Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…
This audio is related to the event review that I participated with Braeden. For controlling the time within 5 minutes, we have practiced and tried for 8 times at least. But it's not so good in consequence. The time limitation makes me speak too fast and not so clearly and we also delete some part of our review. I think we should not take much care of the time. The most important thing should be how to explain the review clearly and in…

The groans of the exhausted Shinsengumi men could be heard, even in your own office. They had to train on the hottest day of the year. You, however, peacefully sat in front of an electric fan whilst making origami animals. Such things were the benefits of being a woman of the Shinsengumi. You weren't exactly a member of the force when you thought about it. You didn't do any real police related work.…
The young bluenette stared longingly outside her window, which reflected back her small town of Annel. Marinette Dupain-Cheng settled her tentative hand on the window as she watched her home flew by her like a radiant flash from a camera. Marinette always found herself enraptured by her town because it reminded her of an animated picture book. The buildings were colorful like crayons, flowers bloomed like it belonged to a Fae court, and it had a fairy tale atmosphere by its miraculous persona.…
It was a unnaturally sunny day, not including the cloudy gray halo that surrounded a large patch of land, almost as if the sun was afraid to shine. And in the middle of that large patch of land was a very large house, victorian style, and as many old houses are, paint chipping, walls crumbling, and a snaggled barbwire fence surrounding the extensive amount of land. In the middle of all this, a girl, just one girl was lazily playing cards with herself, seemingly oblivious to the various stray cats, snarling dogs, soft drizzle of rain, and crumbling mansion. All of this chaos, around one house, as if it was a magnet for trouble. “Masque, Come here” The girl called, honey blonde hair plastered to the sides of her face due to the drizzle, deep…
After getting a warning from Madame Bustier about interrupting, the class went on. As they knew each other, she allowed Felix to sit with Marinette. However, that didn't mean that the class' attention was all there. They were too caught up in the fact that the formal blonde had returned. Nino and Nathanael were practically vibrating in their seats in their excitement to greet their old friend. This was not lost on Felix, who was fighting an eye roll at their reactions. Honestly, why was he friends with them again?…
