Rocky III

Every movie has multiple techniques that coordinate with each other in order to bring the meaning of it all together.

the final installment of the Rocky franchise released in 2006.

numerous packets of pop tarts I saw myself and in the mirror and I said “M-m-maybe s-she’s right”. I decided not for her but for me that I needed to improve myself. Later on I was watching ESPN they were showing a documentary about Heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano. They showed his fight against Jersey Joe Walcott that won him the championship and the two punch combination that knocked out Walcott. The speed, intensity and the confidence in his ability that shone through the grainy black and…

The Magic of Montana As I walked through the wild roses and Indian Paintbrushes one early morning in the backwoods, I got caught up in the magic of Montana. At the beginning of this experience, I felt as if I was peaking in my wildlife field experience, but as I continued to work, my eyes were opened to the endless opportunities of life.
