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.

Overpaid professional athletes The topic I chose for my essay is overpaid professional athletes. I chose this topic because I think athletes are getting paid way too much money.
