This dream career has been the focal point, the…

Memories can help or they can put you down, Brian was put down at first but he got back up and he used the memories that he had and survived. These occur in the book Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. One negative memory that he had in the book was in chapter 4, he states “The memory was like a knife cutting into him. Slicing deep into him…

Parched is directed by Leena Yadav and Russell Carpenter is the cinematographer (Sharma). The film is about having a desperate desire for love, freedom, and sex, but being not permitted to have such thoughts because it is against the “custom” or the “norm”. Parched is a bittersweet tale about four women living undesired lives,…

lover of film. For the longest time, I dreamed of directing motion pictures (I was absorbed by the films of Paul Thomas Anderson and Stanley Kubrick), but throughout my teenage years my dream just seemed too unrealistic to follow. I graduated from Westminster High School in the Spring of 2009 and then commenced a three year partying spree until that aforementioned unfortunate spring night of…

It makes us blind when we need sight.” I think this book should be banned because it displays delicate and sensitive material and would put bad images into the younger generation 's minds and be corrupted by it. It should only be read by high school and college students because the material in the book can be understood by those age groups and they would know…
