Car Crash The first thing I saw was the smoke running through my eyes and a masked man taking me away from the flaming fire. Unable to move‚ and blood crashing down from my nose‚ I felt my body shivering in the cold with a bright light shining down my face.

Criminal Justice Communication 12 October 2011 Crash Character Essay For my essay on Crash I had to really reflect on this movie. There are so many characters in this film it is difficult to decide.

Plane crash‚ a simple phrase that invokes fear in the thoughts and hearts of many‚ including me. Before I start my analysis‚ I want to say that this movie was very hard for me to get through‚ as I was on an airplane when an engine exploded mid flight.

I have a hard time flying now because of that incident‚ but at the same time I think my
