Lying can be used as a way to respond to conflict. I am sure that at least once in your life you have lied about something to protect yourself or someone else.

Being able to make your own choices is really important‚ most of us don’t realize it right now but it’s important to appreciate freedom. In the Giver‚ what may seem like a perfect society is actually a dystopia is because theres no individuality‚ you are assigned a family‚ and jobs were assigned as well. To begin with‚ individuality didn’t even exist in this community

Killings vs. In the Bedroom I really enjoyed the short story “Killings” written by Andre Dubus. I felt the story was very dark and depressing but what intrigued me most about the story was how close to real life it was. Todd Field’s interpretation “In the Bedroom” was an excellent rendition of the short story. He captured the story very well and really brought it to life on the big screen. The short story really portrays the society we live in. You hear every day about domestic violence that

His main goal is to make the U.S. a better place and keep us all updated with the Constitution itself and hope from reading the book that we all learned something new about all the different arguments.

The Act of Killing is a shocking‚ surreal film that offers a different perspective on genocide; it documents what occurs when those who carry out genocide are not punished. By giving the perpetrators of the Indonesia 1965-1966 communist genocide a platform‚ Joshua Oppenheimer can demonstrate the nonchalant attitudes toward the murders. On a broader scale‚ the film shows how the universal negative attitude towards Communism as well as controversy around political versus ethnic genocide allowed Indonesians

Dear Mrs Hopkins‚ I am writing to you in response to your recent absurd monstrosity of an article about migrants- it simply didn’t quite fit with me. The points you make in this heartless piece‚ I can not comprehend‚ and I’m sure I speak on behalf of the UK. Starting with how you label the migrants as ‘cockroaches’‚ says a lot about your closed minded views- these so called ‘cockroaches’ are human beings. Their desperation for a normal‚ safe life has resorted them to risking their children’s lives
