Overall I did like this movie‚ it had some dull moments because of the repeated concepts‚ but it was still really good. For instance‚ it seemed to drag on‚ he hadn’t even gotten into the toy store until about half the movie was done. It also had a lot of predictable moments.

When we went for pitching machine‚ to a girl pitching it to us it was hard because it was a lot faster that the

Do you see these elements in any of the other pieces we’ve read this year? Could they be read as the roots of these issues in Modern texts? Steinbeck‚ Hurston‚ and Faulkner share the motifs of creation and
