one hears the title I Am Legend being mentioned‚ they usually associate it with Will Smith and the terrific job he did in portraying the protagonist of the story Robert Neville. However‚ what they typically leave out is the equally terrific job done by author Richard Matheson coming up with the storyline and writing the original book version. While Richard Matheson’s post-apocalyptic science fiction book‚ I Am Legend‚ and Francis Lawrence’s post-apocalyptic science fiction movie‚ I Am Legend‚ both have

What I would like to change about my behavior I am a mature eighteen year old that knows what she wants and goes for it. I am ambitious‚ I am confident‚ and I most of all try keeping a smile on my face and try staying positive with things in life. The behavior that I would like to change in myself is the way I am with my parents at times.

It was with particular delight that my family took to rubbing in one of Jason’s smoother moves. He waited until a few short weeks before the wedding to inform Gini that his Mom had always done his ironing for him‚ and now he expected Gini to take over that task---after all‚ he couldn’t wear wrinkled clothes to his new job‚ could he? Poking fun at the responsibilities involved in marriage is similar to the attitude presented in Judy Brady’s 1971 essay‚ "Why I Want a Wife." In "Why I Want a Wife‚"

Never forget why you do what you do and who you do it for‚ and make sure everything you do honors that. What I’ve seen happen often times (especially in… yup‚ you guessed it: the education reform movement)‚ is that intentions start out good but the sword starts to swing the other way when money‚ power‚ and statistics are valued over the lives and humanity of students. “Kids first” and “For the kids” becomes merely rhetoric‚ as people jump to enact radically dangerous and untested policies that do

WHAT SUBJECT DO I LIKE BEST? In school‚ of all the classes I have to take‚ I like P.E. most. Why? There are three simple reasons why I love it: there is no homework‚ it helps me stay healthy‚ and last‚ it is quite relaxing to learn. First‚ the homework part‚ for me‚ it’s a dream comes true when there’s no homework for me to do. I am kind of obsessed with homework. I open my eyes thinking about homework‚ I eat thinking about homework‚ I even take a bath thinking about homework. So it’d be nice

Why I Must Be More Careful By Freddie L. Holmes Jr As I sit and type‚ while I can think of a million reasons why I need to be more careful and not speed‚ there are two reasons that seem to stick out at the top of my head. The first reason is‚ I need to be more careful because I could cause harm to myself and second‚ and more importantly‚ to someone else. Causing harm to me can lead to a whole lot of heartache for my family. It would further prove that everything my Mom and Dad were telling

years I have been to surf camps and each one was a memorable experience. Unfortunately each trip only lasted for a day. Spending a whole week here would be a brilliant experience as I have been hoping to improve on my surfing skills for a while now. A few months back I watched Waveriders which convinced me even more to surf‚ after all the North West is known for being one of the best surf spots in the world. My family are big into athletics‚ competing at national and international level‚ but I want

Cholpon Kurmanalieva Why I believe in God I often used to ask myself in the past‚ “who created all conveniences for human existence? Why is the distance between the Sun and the Earth comfortable for living? Why is there a good proportion of water and land; why do we have mountains‚ beautiful nature‚ animals and plants? Why do we have brain‚ 2 eyes‚ 2 feet‚ and 2 hands? Sure‚ there’s somebody who regulates all these processes on the Earth to make people live. And His name is God. Blaise

opinion Avatar is the best movie I have ever seen. I loved everything about the movie‚ especially the state-of-the-art technology. When I first saw the trailer for Avatar there were no famous actors in it but the thing that did draw me into seeing it was the amazing scenery. Most of the scenery in the movie reminded me of a tropical rain forest except the rain forest literally jumps out at you. After I saw Avatar for the first time with my older brother and dad‚ I felt like walking outside and hugging
