Catch Me If You Can directed by Steven Spielberg tells the story of Frank Abagnale Jr.‚ considered one of the most successful con men of all time. I saw this movie recently after renting it from the video store‚ I found it so good that I had to buy it. Frank Abagnale Jr. is an astounding and interesting character.

Why me By: Kaylee Schadek Why me‚ why not? I’m lying‚ paralyzed; I hear others around me but can’t make a sound. My vision is blurred all I can see is color and the difference between light and dark. Brightness surrounds me mostly. I can hear the machine checking my heart rate. The tubes running up my arms make it hard to move.
