pregnancy and was a surprising hit. This film, Juno, has been called, “a sharp-edged, sweet-centred, warm-hearted coming-of-age movie that’s always just that little bit smarter than you think it is,” by Andrew Male (n.d., para. 9). It is directed by Jason Reitman and was released in 2007. From the start, it brought a fresh twist to the idea of teen pregnancy. According to The New York Times, Juno could be compared to the popular MTV show, 16 and Pregnant, but “could not be further from the…

The lengthy, cramped, and quiet bus ride to Living Hope Day School both excited and terrified me. A never ending stream of “what if” questions rattling my brain caused me think twice about what I was doing there in the first place. I was a stranger to them, someone whom they knew nothing about. I gazed out the window, trying to calm my thoughts when I saw them. An endless sea of purple sweaters, and cheery faces lined the fence at the school. All of my previous doubts washed away when I stepped…

In cinematography you learn different ways to angle the camera, the lights just the right way to show you an entire chapter of a book in just a few frames, add a score to listen to the music and sounds and get your audience to feel the movie from their perspective. As a director they may not have the idea but they can show a thousand words in just one picture. That is key thing in videography is it has to capture, what the author writes they show with just one frame, weather it is to show a…

Retrograde amnesia is amnesia where one suffers from the loss of memories that occurred before some type of trauma. In Jason Bourne’s case, it’s his identity following being shot in the back and left in the sea. Retrograde amnesia is temporally graded, which means remote memories are more easily obtainable than events that occurred before the trauma and events near the event…

“The art of being happy lies in the power of finding happiness in ordinary things. Life doesn’t force us to be perfect it only asks us to do our best.” -Unknown This has been a quote I have learned to follow throughout the course of my junior year. If we allow ourselves to be happy about little achievements and know that we did our best regardless of the outcome, then we can help ourselves be more successful in the future. A good example of some of the small accomplishments i 've made my…

I once asked a close friend of mine, “How can a middle school student make a difference?” He simply answered, “ At our age, to make a difference we have to have a drive to make a change. You can’t just blindly run into world wanting to do something; you need a plan, determination, and confidence to know that you can make a difference.” I thought about what he said and realized he had a point. Kids my age are so concerned about the little things we never actually see the bigger picture; that…

In the movie “Kingdom of Heaven” Hollywood has done what it does best, portray some scenes that are not quite historically correct. The battle scenes and the training scenes were quite splendid! But I'm not going to say that everything was historically correct.

Even if you aren’t a “history buff”, you would probably still notice some of the historical…

From classrooms to offices and even the cadaver labs, she enjoyed the work and exploring aspects of the campus at night. Almost three years later, Sandy, with her short-blond hair, friendly green eyes, and constant smile is still working for Baldwin Wallace, but now in a…
