The Benchwarmers If you like hilarious, sporty, and entertaining movies, then The Benchwarmers is for you! The first time I watched the Benchwarmers about six months ago I automatically fell in love with it.I was able to find it on Netflix after someone told me that it was the best movie ever and that I would like it.

I have a strong belief that Percey Jackson from the movie is a better and more relatable Perseus. An interesting fact, Percy Jackson is a little more selfless. Which a hero has a right to be. Also, due to the settings being in modern times it helps making him more relatable. It also makes it feel like he has more of a social life. In Perseus the text never states that he hangs out with his friends which leads to my assumption that he just hangs out with his mom a.k.a. a mama's boy. Now that it’s…

I respect the “Rock” because he left the wwe in wrestlemania 29 after he…

Joseph Conrad was a man who grew up not having many friends. As a young child he had missed school quite a bit from illnesses (Kathleen Wilson 200). This made it hard to have close relationships with other children. He did however gain a love for literature and the sea from his father at a young age (www.notablebiographies.com). This is…
