Watching the movie The Hiding Place made me realize how much better and different books are than movies. A major difference between the book and the movie was the beginning. For instance‚ the book started with the watch shops’ 100th Anniversary‚ and the movie started with the Nazis taking away the Ten Boom family’s radio. The movie skipped a lot of events such as the 100th Anniversary and introducing the family and their roles in the story. It would have been better if the movie at least showed the

Separate but equal is the approach that my roommate and I took when we moved in. To keep things separate‚ her things are on the left and mine are on the right. The equal part comes in if one of us wants to use something of the others (such as a nail clipper or a hair tie.) This means that almost anything we own is open to use with permission. We decided that we didn’t want to combine any of our things just yet because we didn’t know each other that well. I believe it’s a good idea because it

A Beautiful Place Everyone has their favorite place‚ if it’s in their heads or in real life. This is about one of my favorite places. This place would be the place I’d always go to whenever I had the free time. Even if I didn’t‚ I’d take the project I was working on and finish it there. No one ever went to the place or did I tell them where I was going so I was all alone in complete solitude. I used to live on a farm‚ out where no one could see. When you step outside you will see never ending
