Kevin is the oldest of three children in the Buckman household and turns nine years of age midway through the film. One of the beginning scenes consists of Kevin’s mother asking his father to attend a meeting with Kevin’s principal because “his teacher said he was making that face again.” The mother, Karen, continues to explain that it is not just the face, but the “crying, the nervousness…the fact that he cannot finish his work.” Karen then discloses the fact that the teacher had recently asked whether or not Kevin had ever received a psychiatric evaluation. During the meeting with the principal and the child psychologist (that has been observing Kevin over the past couple of months,) the principal suggests transferring Kevin to a special education school so that he can join a class for children with “emotional problems.” From the very onset of the film, it is apparent that the anxiety Kevin experiences impacts his day-to-day life and the ways in which others perceive him.…
This is about the film, Home Alone, a classic 1990s movie under the direction of Chris Columbus, and which starred Macaulay Culkin for the character of the 8-year old Kevin McCallister. The other members of the cast were: John Heard, playing the character of Peter McCallister, the father; Catherine O’Hara for the character of Mrs. McCallister; Daniel Stern for the character of the burglar named Marv; and Joe Pesci playing the character of the other burglar named Harry. The other characters were: Kevin’s brother, Buzz; Uncle Frank; and an old man named Marley. From the title alone, you can guess that the story revolves around someone who was home by himself or herself. The title does not suggest anything more than that and one needs to watch the movie to know what happens. Kevin belongs to a big family. The family decided to go to Paris for Christmas. On the night before they were to leave, there was a big storm and it caused power outage. The family overslept and woke up late because the alarm failed to go off. Waking up late, they were in a mad rush to the airport and didn’t notice that one boy was left behind. The boy was, of course, Kevin. That marked the start of an exciting family adventure.…

The Union certainly had considerable advantages. There were 22 million people in the North compared with only 9 million in the South (of whom only 5.5 million were whites). The North had a much greater industrial capacity. In 1860 Northern states produced 97 per cent of the USA’s firearms and 94 per cent of its pig iron. Even in agriculture the North enjoyed an edge. The Confederacy hoped to make good its lack of materials by trading with Europe, but the Union used its naval strength to impose an increasingly tight blockade. The Union was further aided by the fact that four slave states – Delaware, Missouri, Maryland and Kentucky – remained loyal to the Union. Nor were all the people within the 11 Confederate states committed to the Confederate cause. Pockets of Unionism existed, especially in the Appalachian Mountains. Slaves were also a potential fifth column. Throughout the war there was a steady flow of blacks fleeing to Union armies. The North converted first their labour and eventually their military manpower into a Union asset.…

The Book Twenty-One Balloon is really boring in the beginning due to the fact that they dragged the story and made the introduction painfully long. His unplanned journey to Krakatoa was truly spectacular since he was forced to deal with sharks. I was impressed with all the inventions and they all seem so realistic that I wondered if those inventions exist in real life. Some of these inventions include a balloon merry-go-round, electrified chairs that can be driven all over the house and a unique parachute design that carries four people. I really enjoyed reading this book and it brought back fond childhood memories of my adventures. Even Though I am really fond of this book, it didn’t provide enough background information about Mr. F. The can…
