My favorite moment is when she was walking away from hannibal cell and the other prisoned person threw something on her face. Her reaction gave us a gruesome feeling. In the end I would recommend this movie to my friends and my family. The story was really gripping and I loved the music it is…

Christians in Action relies on guidance of a…

It is difficult to retain an empire, especially one as far reaching as Alexander’s, if one only conquers his enemies militarily. Without the support of the leaders and the peoples of the lands keeping an empire intact is impossible. He never felt he was a conqueror but rather a liberator of all man. He did not want to simply defeat his enemies militarily. Gaining victories over armies was only the first step. Alexander respected every religion and every culture he became ruler of. Instead of…

Some significant places to my childhood and growing up are, the creek in my grandparent’s back yard, the neighborhood park in my near my grandparents house, and the tree at my old house with long twisted branches.…

Film began with the simple invention of the magic lantern in the 17th century. All it needed to work was light, such as a candle, and crude lenses.
