    Before going to the theater with friends or family for a great action packed thriller, I may think twice before buying a ticket to see Taken. Taken, written by Luc Besson, and directed by Pierre Morel, was first released in 2009 and is believed to be one of the most thrilling action films of the season. However after watching the 93 minute film some viewers may disagree. If you have watched the film Man On Fire, you will notice the similarities between both of these action packed films, telling a story of a ex CIA agent who will stop at nothing to save someone they love. Unfortunately Taken's unrealistic acting and very predictable plot prevents viewers from experiencing the actuality families face that are affected by the horrors of sex trafficking, which the movie attempts to portray.…

    Logan Killicks, the first man Janie marries, is a man with good intentions who wanted to love Janie. Logan was often seen as a man that could not please Janie’s needs for love. Janie was also given a speech by Logan in which he threatened to kill due to her lack of love. Consequently, the forced love that was given to Janie, by her Grandmother, was enough to kill any hope Janie had for true love. I believe these are the main reasons that Janie runs away with Joe Starks.…

    The point of grammar I still struggle with is the correct placement of the comma. As I read through the chapter discussing commas in Grammar Moves, I realized that it may be more the matter of recognizing what the independent clause actually is in the sentence and then separating it properly from the dependent clause. The text refers to this as essential and nonessentially information. The “Purdue OWL” website has a section on “Extended Rules for Using Commas,” that helped clarify what is actually the independent clause. You see, in my mind, I think that the dependent clause is also essential information because it provides detailed information in regards to the original sentence.…

    People compare and contrast things on a daily basis. I, myself have done this, comparing and contrasting every little thing I can.

    In many book to movie adaptation, characters and scenes are added or left out to meet with time constraints or to keep the movie interesting. The 2011 movie adaptation of Jane Eyre directed by Cary Fukunaga is no different, it attempts to stay true to the five-hundred-page book in just under two hours. However, the director lacks fidelity in his movie adaptation. While, the movie stays true to the basic storyline of the novel, many scenes in the movie destroy the integrity of the main character Jane Eyre, altering her from an independent, observant, intellectual character, to one who is weak, controlled, and ultimately the walking symbol of the patriarchy. There is one particular scene that has been added to the movie that best portrays the weakening of Jane Eyre.…
